Adenine residues of 70S avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) RNA are modified when reacted with chloroacetaldehyde. This modification introduces characteristic fluorescent epsilon-adenosine (epsilonA) probes which were used to monitor the reaction. Under suitable conditions, modified 70S(epsilonA) RNA was maintained intact and was inactive as a template for the AMV DNA polymerase. Furthermore, it inhibited the reaction catalyzed by AMV polymerase when 70S RNA was used as template-primer and had no effect on the two tested bacterial polymerases. Protection against the 70S (epsilonA) RNA inhibition was observed when 70S RNA was primed with oligo(dT) indicating preference of the polymerase for the oligo(dT) primed regions.
70S禽成髓细胞瘤病毒(AMV)RNA的腺嘌呤残基与氯乙醛反应时会发生修饰。这种修饰引入了特征性荧光ε-腺苷(εA)探针,用于监测反应。在合适的条件下,修饰后的70S(εA)RNA保持完整,并且作为AMV DNA聚合酶的模板无活性。此外,当70S RNA用作模板引物时,它会抑制AMV聚合酶催化的反应,而对两种测试的细菌聚合酶没有影响。当70S RNA用寡聚(dT)引发时,观察到对70S(εA)RNA抑制的保护作用,这表明聚合酶对寡聚(dT)引发区域有偏好。
