Conditions are described for using Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I for synthesizing complementary DNA copies of natural RNA molecules, which are suitable for use in hybridization experiments. The molar ratio of enzyme to template is critical; below a certain level, synthesis is not observed. Hybrids formed with the complementary DNA are of comparable specificity and stability to those formed with complementary DNAs synthesized by viral RNA-directed DNA polymerase. Synthesis of dA-dT polymers, a common occurrence with this enzyme, can be eliminated by including distamycin in the reaction mixture.
描述了使用大肠杆菌DNA聚合酶I合成天然RNA分子互补DNA拷贝的条件,这些拷贝适用于杂交实验。酶与模板的摩尔比至关重要;低于一定水平时,无法观察到合成。与互补DNA形成的杂交体在特异性和稳定性方面与由病毒RNA指导的DNA聚合酶合成的互补DNA形成的杂交体相当。通过在反应混合物中加入偏端霉素,可以消除该酶常见的dA-dT聚合物的合成。
