Isolation and partial characterization of DNA polymerases from Crithidia fasciculata. 1984

A M Holmes, and E Cheriathundam, and A Kalinski, and L M Chang

Two types of DNA polymerase activity were partially purified from Crithidia fasciculata. The alpha-type, DNA polymerase A, was of high molecular weight and sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide, whereas the beta-type, DNA polymerase B, was of low molecular weight and resistant to N-ethylmaleimide. Phosphocellulose chromatography revealed multiple peaks of DNA polymerase A activity the properties of which, such as pH optimum, salt sensitivity, utilization of synthetic template-initiator complexes and response to DNA polymerase inhibitors were similar. The response of the C. fasciculata DNA polymerase A enzymes to some of these inhibitors and utilization of poly(rA) X oligo(dT)11 showed these enzymes to be markedly different from mammalian DNA polymerase alpha.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007526 Isoelectric Point The pH in solutions of proteins and related compounds at which the dipolar ions are at a maximum. Isoelectric Points,Point, Isoelectric,Points, Isoelectric
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
D003421 Crithidia A genus of parasitic protozoans found in the digestive tract of invertebrates, especially insects. Organisms of this genus have an amastigote and choanomastigote stage in their life cycle. Crithidias
D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.
