Enzymatic synthesis of deoxyribo-oligonucleotides of defined sequence. Properties of the enzyme. 1974

S Gillam, and M Smith

A modified purification is described for an enzyme, from Escherichiacoli B, which polymerizes deoxyribonucleoside-5' diphosphates. Under appropriate conditions, the enzyme will add a single deoxyribonucleotide residue to a deoxyribo-oligonucleotide primer. At all stages, the enzyme activity copurified with the activity which will polymerize adenosine-5' diphosphate (polynucleotide phosphorylase). Studies of heat stability, the effect of various temperatures of reaction and of disc gel electrophoresis failed to provide evidence that the two activities are separable.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011117 Polyribonucleotide Nucleotidyltransferase An enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the reaction RNA(n+1) and orthophosphate to yield RNA(n) and a nucleoside diphosphate, or the reverse reaction. ADP, IDP, GDP, UDP, and CDP can act as donors in the latter case. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 2.7.7.8.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
