Isolation and characterization of DNA polymerases from mature oocytes of the starfish, Asterina pectinifera.

Abstract:

:Four distinctive DNA polymerases have been isolated from mature oocytes of the starfish, Asterina pectinifera, and characterized. The N-ethylmaleimide-resistant DNA polymerase activity was separated from the other three DNA polymerases by hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The enzyme, whose approximate sedimentation coefficient was 3.3S, effectively utilized poly(dA)-oligo(dT) as a template-primer and was completely inhibited by 10 microM 2', 3'-dideoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate but was not inhibited by aphidicolin. Therefore, this enzyme was classified as a eukaryotic DNA polymerase-beta. Three species of the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive DNA polymerase were separated with a phosphocellulose column. Two (5.5S and 6.5S) of the enzymes eluted from the column preferred activated DNA as a template-primer. Both of the DNA polymerases were inhibited by aphidicolin but not by 2',3'-dideoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate. Judging from the above results, these two DNA polymerases were classified as eukaryotic DNA polymerase-alpha. The third N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive enzyme (approximately 7S) eluted from the phosphocellulose column utilized poly(rA)-oligo(dT) as well as poly(dA)-oligo(dT) as template-primers. The enzyme activity was resistant to aphidicolin but sensitive to 2',3'-dideoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate. This enzyme resembles eukaryotic DNA polymerase-gamma. Thus, it is concluded that the four species of DNA polymerase found in starfish oocytes resemble eukaryotic DNA polymerase-alpha, -beta, and -gamma.
