DNA synthesis catalyzed in vitro by yeast extracts. 1981

G Badaracco, and E Ginelli, and N Sacchi, and S Sora, and P Plevani

A procedure to prepare crude extracts from single colonies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is described. Partially purified extracts catalyzed DNA synthesis directed by single-stranded fd DNA. Maximum activity requires the presence of ribonucleoside triphosphates although extensive DNA synthesis is observed in the presence of only deoxynucleoside triphosphates. Alkaline sucrose gradient analysis demonstrated that initiation of new DNA chains occurs in vitro and the DNA products synthesized are heterogeneous in size, Isopycnic analysis of the products of ribonucleotide-initiated fd DNA replication showed covalent linkage between the initiator RNA and the newly synthesized DNA. The fd-replicating capacity of extracts prepared from cell-division-cycle mutants, defective in events controlling DNA initiation of elongation, showed an increased thermosensitivity in the DNA replication reaction in vitro.

D004279 DNA, Viral Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. Viral DNA
D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
