Abstract
We have characterized, by transient-state kinetic methods, the polymerase and exonuclease activities of the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase (pol gamma) during reverse transcription, employing a synthetic oligonucleotide consisting of a DNA primer and an RNA template. In comparison with the kinetic parameters observed with a DNA template, the rate of correct deoxynucleotide incorporation was reduced 25-fold (5.5+/-0.2 s(-1)), whereas the dissociation constant (Kd) for nucleotide binding was increased 4-fold (12+/-1 microm). In addition, discrimination against mismatches was reduced approximately 20-fold to only 15,000 on average. The proofreading exonuclease favored the removal of an incorrect nucleotide (0.0021+/-0.0002 s(-1) for correct versus 0.034+/-0.004 s(-1) for incorrect), and the partitioning between incorporation beyond a mismatch (5.5x10(-5)+/-0.4x10(-5) s(-1)), and exonuclease removal of that mismatch favors removal of the mismatch. These data suggest that the "reverse transcriptase activity" of mitochondrial polymerase could be physiologically relevant. However, the enzyme stalls and is unable to efficiently incorporate beyond a single nucleotide with an RNA template. Additionally, we present a refined method for calculating net discrimination, which more accurately describes the contributions of correct and incorrect incorporation. The biological and biotechnological significance of these results are discussed.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells infected with adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) produced amounts of viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) equal to that synthesized in permissively infected HeLa cells. However, there was 6,000-fold less virion produced in CHO cells. Since the structural viral polypeptides were not detected by pulse-labeling CHO cells at various times postinfection, the block in virion formation is located between the synthesis of viral DNA and late proteins. Extracts of CHO cells could also function in a recently reported in vitro Ad2 DNA synthesis system which is dependent upon the addition of exogenous Ad2 DNA covalently linked to a 5'-terminal protein (Ikeda et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77:5827-5831, 1980). Extracts of infected CHO cytoplasm were able to complement uninfected CHO nuclear extracts to synthesize viral DNA on Ad2 templates. This in vitro replication system has the potential to probe host DNA synthesis requirements as well as viral factors.

Abstract
Activity of DNA topoisomerase I has been characterized in extracts of mitochondria purified from Xenopus laevis oocytes. Several lines of evidence have been obtained for the intramitochondrial localization of the enzyme. The mitochondria-associated of DNA topoisomerase I represents 1% of the activity recovered from a total ovary population of oocytes. The enzymes has been purified by DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose and double-stranded DNA cellulose chromatography and its properties compared to those of its nuclear-cytosolic counterpart purified by the same purification steps. Both enzymes appear to possess very similar if not identical physico-chemical and catalytic properties. Neither enzyme shows DNA gyrase activity and they are both equally sensitive towards trypanocide drugs such as ethidium bromide and berenil. The mitochondrial enzyme is able to remove positive superhelical turns and possibly acts as a swivelase during replication of mitochondrial DNA. These results confirm the pioneering work of Fairfield et al. (1979, J Biol. Chem. 254, 9354) on the presence of a DNA topoisomerase I in mitochondria. However our results support the conclusion that in Xenopus laevis oocytes the mitochondrial and nuclear cytosolic DNA topoisomerase I are in all likelihood one and the same enzyme.

Abstract
The combined action of DNA polymerase alpha and DNA polymerase beta leads to the synthesis of full-length linear DNA strands with phi X174 DNA templates containing an RNA primer. The reaction can be carried out in two stages. In the first stage, DNA polymerase alpha catalyzes the synthesis of a chain that averaged 230 deoxynucleotides long and was covalently linked to the RNA primer. In the second stage, DNA polymerase beta elongates the DNA strand covalently attached to the RNA primer to full length. With DNA primers, DNA polymerase alpha catalyzes only limited deoxynucleotide addition whereas DNA polymerase beta alone elongates DNA primed templates to full length. DNA polymerase beta can also stimulate the synthesis of adenovirus DNA in vitro in the presence of a cytosol extract from adenovirus-infected cells. In all of these systems, dNMP incorporation catalyzed by DNA polymerase beta was sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide; however, this polymerase activity was resistant to N-ethylmaleimide with poly(rA) x (dT) as the primer template.

Abstract
Aphidicolin inhibits adenovirus DNA replication in HeLa cells and in a cell-free, infected, nuclear extract in which viral DNA is elongated. The compound inhibits alpha DNA polymerase, extensively purified from HeLa cells, but has little or no effect on the beta or gamma DNA polymerases similarly purified. Aphidicolin does not affect thymidine uptake by cells nor does synthesis as it also inhibits DNA replication in uninfected cells. The inhibition by aphidicolin is reversible if the drug is removed within 18 hrs after addition to HeLa or Chinese Hamster Ovary cells but the cells are irreversibly affected if the drug remains for 48 hours.

Abstract
An adenovirus (Ad) DNA replication complex extracted from infected HeLa nuclei could be purified free of the bulk of intracellular DNA polymerase activity by sedimetation in neutral sucrose gradients. However, the replication complex still retained some alpha and gamma DNA-polymerase activity. Since this complex is inhibited by 2', 3' dideoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate (ddTTP), an inhibitor of DNA polymerase gamma, a functional role for this enzyme in Ad DNA replication is suggested. Similar inhibition by ddTTP in intact Ad infected nuclei and comparable inhibition of Ad DNA synthesis in whole cells by dideoxythymidine (ddThy) are consistent with a role for DNA polymerase gamma. Uninfected HeLa nuclei or whole cells are not similarly inhibited by ddTTP or DDThy respectively. Such data does not rule out an additional functional role for other DNA polymerases, and recent experiments from this laboratory (1) suggest that DNA polymerase alpha is also involved in Ad DNA synthesis.

Abstract
A gamma-like DNA polymerase devoid of DNA polymerase-alpha and -beta activities was prepared from the nuclear fraction of blastulae of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. The enzyme sedimented at the position of an approximate sedimentation coefficient of 3.3 S under high salt conditions by sucrose gradient centrifugation. An isoelectric point was determined to be pH 5.8. The enzyme activity was sensitive to sulfhydryl blocking reagents. Poly(rA) . oligo(dT)12--18 followed by poly(dA) . oligo(dT)12--18 was effectively utilized as a template-primer. From the above results, this polymerase seems to resemble the vertebrate DNA polymerase-gamma.

Abstract
Simian virus 40 (SV40) nucleoprotein complexes were extracted from nuclei of infected monkey cells and fractionated on neutral sucrose density gradients. Complexes which contained replicating SV40 DNA (95S) separated well from those containing closed circular supercoiled viral DNA (75S). DNA polymerase activity was associated with the replicating nucleoprotein complexes but not with the slower sedimenting complexes. This DNA polymerase activity coprecipitated with the nucleoprotein complexes in the presence of MgCl2 and remained associated with the 95S complexes. This DNA polymerase activity has been identified as primarily DNA polymerase alpha on the basis of its sedimentation behavior, optimum salt concentration, and sensitivity to N-ethylmaleimide. DNA polymerase gamma activity was also detected in the complexes, but DNA polymerase beta was not associated with the complexes.

Abstract
The double-stranded DNA from a soluble DNA replication complex that was labeled with deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates and completed in vitro was digested with EcoRI, Sma I, and Hpa I restriction endonucleases. All regions of the adenovirus type 2 genome were labeled in vitro, but restriction fragments derived from the ends of the DNA molecules were relatively more highly labeled than those derived from internal regions. The in vitro endogenous DNA polymerase reaction also exhibited strand-specific labeling near the molecular ends, in that restriciton fragments from the left end were labeled predominantly in the r strand and fragments from the right end were labeled predominantly in the l strand.

Abstract
DNA-protein complexes isolated from adenovirus-infected cells by a modification of the M-band technique were used as an in vitro system for the study of adenovirus DNA replication. The synthesis in vitro was semiconservative, inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, and stimulated by ATP. Studies on DNA-negative mutants of adenovirus showed that the DNA synthesis in vitro represents a continuation of adenovirus DNA replication in vivo. DNA synthesis in vitro was inhibited 38% by 20 microgram of phosphonoacetic acid per ml, which is several-fold higher than the inhibition obtained with purified DNA polymerase beta or gamma, but was similar to the degree of inhibition of DNA polymerase alpha. DNA synthesis in complexes from uninfected cells was much less sensitive to inhibition by phosphonoacetic acid. In addition, complexes from infected cells contained a greater proportion of the alpha-polymerase than complexes from uninfected cells, suggesting that an association of alpha-polymerase with the replication complex may be occurring during adenovirus infection, with subsequent utilization of the alpha-polymerase for viral DNA synthesis.

Abstract
When HeLa cell nuclei, isolated 17 h after infection with adenovirus type 2 (Ad2), were extracted with 200 mM ammonium sulfate, Ad2 nucleoprotein complexes were selectively released. These complexes contained a DNA polymerase activity that corresponded to DNA polymerase molecules actively engaged in Ad2 DNA replication. Under our high-salt (200 mM ammonium sulfate) incubation conditions, where no reinitiation occurred, full-length Ad2 DNA chains were synthesized by elongation of chains that had been initiated in vivo. This conclusion was further supported by density labeling experiments indicating that the in vitro DNA synthesis was semiconservative. Evidence is presented suggesting that at least part of the DNA polymerase molecules engaged in Ad2 DNA replication belong to the gamma class.

Abstract
DNA polymerase activities in uninfected KB cells or KB cells infected with adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) were compared by chromatography on DNA-cellulose and DEAE-cellulose and by isoelectric focusing. On DNA cellulose three components were found both in infected and in uninfected cells. The major component eluted at 0.15 M NaC1 and contained DNA polymerase alpha. Two minor components were found, one which did not bind to DNA-cellulose and one which bound strongly. This latter component contained DNA polymerase beta as characterized by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and sedimentation studies. No difference in properties between uninfected or Ad5-infected KB cells was found for the beta-polymerase. DEAE-cellulose chromatography of DNA polymerase alpha revealed the presence of two activities eluting at 0.11 and 0.13 M NaC1 designates as alphaI and alphaII, respectively. In Ad5-infected cells alphaII was the major component. In uninfected, stationary cells alphaI was the major component and alphaII was only detectable as a shoulder in the elution profile. However, fast growing, uninfected cells gave a similar pattern as Ad5-infected cells. These results indicate that the observed change of the DNA polymerase pattern after infection with Ad5 is related to the level of DNA synthesis and not to the induction of a viral enzyme.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA synthesis in adenovirus type 2-infected HeLa cells was measured at various times from 0 to 24 h postinfection. Although viral infection effectively turned off host chromosomal DNA synthesis, mitochondrial DNA synthesis was not inhibited. These findings indicate a dissociation between the regulation of host and mitochondrial DNA synthesis after infection with adenovirus type 2.

Abstract
We have shown that a membrane fraction prepared from isolated human lymphoid nuclei contains endogenous DNA-synthesizing activity which is sensitive to RNAase. We have isolated a DNA polymerase from this fraction and partially purified it to what we estimate as about 10 000-fold. Its chromatographic behavior, template specificity, sedimentation constant, pH optimum, and sensitivity to N-ethylmaleimide suggest that the activity resembles but is not identical to DNA polymerase gamma (formerly called R-DNA polymerase). The membrane fraction also contains a minor activity which is due to polymerase beta, the low molecular weight (3.5 S) nuclear enzyme.

Abstract
We have isolated a nuclear membrane fraction from KB cells infected with human adenovirus 2 that synthesizes exclusively small viral DNA chains (approx. 9 S) in vitro (Yamashita, T., Arens, M. and Green, M. (1975) J. Biol. Chem. 250, 3273-3279). The DNA polymerase activity present in the adenovirus 2 DNA-nuclear membrane complex was purified through chromatography on phosphocellulose and DEAE-cellulose, glycerol gradient centrifuation and DNA-cellulose chromatography. A single peak of enzymatic activity sedimented in glycerol gradients at about 6.7 S which corresponds to a molecular weight of 125000. The enzyme preparation in the step of glycerol gradient centrifugation utilized activated calf thymus, KB cell and adenovirus 2 DNA as template-primer in the presence of Mg2+; Km values for these DNAs were 5.5, 4.0, and 0.8 mug/ml, respectively. The partially purified enzyme preparation was characterized by several criteria which were compared to the properties of the three major mammalian DNA polymerases, alpha, beta, and psi. On the basis of template-primer preference, effect of salt, inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide and Km for dTTP, the DNA polymerase activity from the membrane complex can be distinguished from the alpha and beta DNA polymerases. The elution profile from DNA cellulose revealed a minor peak (I) and a major peak (II) of DNA polymerase activity utilizing poly(A) -(dT)10 as template-primer in the presence of Mn2+ - Peak II from DNA cellulose, which contained about 90% of the total DNA polymerase activity eluted from the column, was 2-3 times as active with poly(A) - (dT)10 as template-primer in the presence of Mn2+ than with activated calf thymus DNA in the presence of Mg2+. On the other hand, peak I had a low ratio of poly(A) - (dT)10 to activated calf thymus DNA activity. DNA polymerase was also purified from the nuclear membrane fraction of uninfected KB cells by the same procedures as those used in enzyme purification from the adenovirus 2 DNA-nuclear membrane complex. A minor peak and a major peak of DNA polymerase activity utilizing poly(A) - (dT)10 as template primer in the presence of Mn2+ were again observed that eluted from DNA cellulose at the same KCl concentrations as peak I and II from adenovirus 2-infected cells. The enzymes of the nuclear membrane fraction of uninfected KB cells could not be differentiated from the enzymes of the adenovirus 2 DNA-nuclear membrane complex through any of the purification steps nor by their template specificities. These results indicate that the predominant enzyme in the adenovirus 2 DNA-nuclear membrane complex and in the KB cell nuclear membrane complex belongs to the class of DNA polymerase psi.

Abstract
Purified nuclei, isolated from appropriately infected HeLa cells, are shown to synthesize large amounts of either herpes simplex virus (HSV) or vaccinia virus DNA in vitro. The rate of synthesis of DNA by nuclei from infected cells is up to 30 times higher than the synthesis of host DNA in vitro by nuclei isolated from uninfected HeLa cells. Thus HSV nuclei obtained from HSV-infected cells make DNA in vitro at a rate comparable to that seen in the intact, infected cell. Molecular hybridization studies showed that 80% of the DNA sequences synthesized in vitro by nuclei from herpesvirus-infected cells are herpesvirus specific. Vaccinia virus nuclei from vaccinia virus-infected cells, also produce comparable percentages of vaccinia virus-specific DNA sequences. Adenovirus nuclei from adenovirus 2-infected HeLa cells, which also synthesize viral DNA in vitro, have been included in this study. Synthesis of DNA by HSV or vaccinia virus nuclei is markedly inhibited by the corresponding viral-specific antisera. These antisera inhibit in a similar fashion the purified herpesvirus-induced or vaccinia virus-induced DNA polymerase isolated from infected cells. Phosphonoacetic acid, reported to be a specific inhibitor of herpesvirus formation and the herpesvirus-induced DNA polymerase, is equally effective as an inhibitor of HSV DNA synthesis in isolated nuclei in vitro. However, we also find phosphonoacetic acid to be an effective inhibitor of vaccinia virus nuclear DNA synthesis and the purified vaccinia virus-induced DNA polymerase. In addition, this compound shows significant inhibition of DNA synthesis in isolated nuclei obtained from adenovirus-infected or uninfected cells and is a potent inhibitor of HeLa cell DNA polymerase alpha.
