[Recombinant reverse transcriptase from Rous sarcoma virus. Kinetics and inhibition of DNA polymerase activity]. 1995

A P Chernov, and V A Ivanov

Preparations of Rous sarcoma virus reverse transcriptase isolated from a culture of E. coli HB101 (pMF14) and purified to homogeneity were used to study the steady state kinetics of DNA polymerization and inhibition of DNA-polymerase activity. DNA synthesis was examined using a system of poly(rA) as template, oligo(dT) as primer and dTTP as nucleotide substrate. Kinetic constants for steady state conditions were determined. The substrate initial velocity patterns point to an ordered mechanism which results in the formation of a ternary complex, in which the template-primer is the first to bind to the enzyme. Inhibition of the DNA-polymerase activity of the enzyme by various inhibitors was studied. Analysis of final products of the DNA-polymerase reaction revealed the presence of distribution syntheses of the DNA chain by the alpha alpha-subunit form of the enzyme.

D002384	Catalysis	The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction.	Catalyses
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.

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
