Polyspermine-ribonuclease (Mr approximately 17 000) and the enzyme transcriptase from Rauscher-leukaemia virus (Mr approximately 70 000) form a complex Mr approx. 160 000) such that the molar ratio of polyspermine-ribonuclease to reverse transcriptase is 5:1. The most favourable condition for complex-formation is in a solution consisting of 0.01 M-Tris/HCl buffer, pH 7.5, 0.25 M-KCl and 1 mM-Mn2+ at 37 degrees C. The association of the two enzymes retains full RNAase activity, but reverse-transcriptase activity is completely inhibited when ribonuclease-sensitive polymers such as (dG)12 x (rC)n or viral 70S RNA are used as primer templates.
多精胺核糖核酸酶(分子量约为17000)与劳氏肉瘤病毒的酶转录酶(分子量约为70000)形成一种复合物(分子量约为160000),使得多精胺核糖核酸酶与逆转录酶的摩尔比为5:1。形成复合物的最适宜条件是在由0.01M Tris/HCl缓冲液(pH 7.5)、0.25M KCl和1mM Mn²⁺组成的溶液中,于37℃下进行。这两种酶的结合保留了全部的核糖核酸酶活性,但当使用对核糖核酸酶敏感的聚合物如(dG)12×(rC)n或病毒70S RNA作为引物模板时,逆转录酶活性被完全抑制。
