The phi X174am16 revertant system has been used to investigate the influence of alpha-thio-dNTPs and of Mn2+ on the fidelity of the 9S DNA polymerase alpha from calf thymus. Upon substituting dGTP by alpha-thio-dGTP during the in vitro replication, a nearly tenfold decrease in the frequency of G:G and G:T mispairs is observed. The formation of all other mispairs is not changed in the presence of the corresponding alpha-thio-dNTP. Mn2+ at concentrations of 0.5 mM does not influence the frequencies of the mispairs. The expression rate of errors formed during in vitro replication in the (-) strand has been determined for all mispairs detectable in the phi Xam16 system. The (-) strand expression of G:T, T:T and C:T mismatches is about 50%, whereas for A:G, G:G and C:A mismatches it is clearly below 50%. We conclude that the different base-base mismatches are repaired with different efficiencies.
噬菌体φX174am16回复系统已被用于研究α-硫代脱氧核苷三磷酸(alpha-thio-dNTPs)和锰离子(Mn2+)对小牛胸腺9S DNA聚合酶α保真度的影响。在体外复制过程中,用α-硫代脱氧鸟苷三磷酸(alpha-thio-dGTP)替代脱氧鸟苷三磷酸(dGTP)时,观察到G:G和G:T错配频率下降了近10倍。在相应的α-硫代脱氧核苷三磷酸存在的情况下,所有其他错配的形成没有改变。浓度为0.5 mM的Mn2+不影响错配频率。对于噬菌体φXam16系统中可检测到的所有错配,已测定了体外复制过程中在(-)链上形成错误的表达率。G:T、T:T和C:T错配的(-)链表达率约为50%,而对于A:G、G:G和C:A错配,其表达率明显低于50%。我们得出结论,不同的碱基错配以不同的效率被修复。
