Direct participation of dCMP hydroxymethylase in synthesis of bacteriophage T4 DNA.

Abstract:

:In order to retain in an in situ system the control mechanisms involved in synthesis of bacteriophage T4 DNA, infected cells were made permeable to nucleotides by plasmolysis with concentrated sucrose. Such preparations use exogenous deoxyribonucleotides to synthesize T4 phage DNA. As has been observed with in vivo studies, DNA synthesis was drastically reduced in plasmolyzed preparations from cells infected by amber mutants of genes 1, 32, 41, 42, 43, 44, or 45. Added 5-hydroxymethyl dCTP did not bypass either a mutant of gene 42 (dCMP hydroxymethylase) or of gene 1 (phage-induced deoxyribonucleotide kinase). In a phage system lacking deoxycytidine triphosphatase (gene 56) and the gene-46 product, and therefore incorporating dCTP into DNA, dCTP incorporation did not require dCMP hydroxymethylase, in keeping with in vivo results. With a triple amber mutant of genes 1, 46, and 56 only slight incorporation of dCTP occurred. By contrast, in experiments performed in vivo the synthesis of cytosine-containing DNA was unaffected by an amber mutation in gene 1. These studies provide evidence that dCMP hydroxymethylase, in addition to its known catalytic function, has a second, more direct, role in phage T4 DNA synthesis, apparently in recognition of hydroxymethyl dCTP. The role of the phage-induced deoxyribonucleotide kinase in T4 DNA synthesis in the plasmolyzed system remains unresolved.
