RNA-primed DNA synthesis in vitro.

W Keller

    Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
    |June 1, 1972
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    RNA primers initiate DNA synthesis on single-stranded DNA templates. DNA polymerases extend RNA primers, forming DNA chains with RNA at the 5' ends, which can be removed by ribonuclease H.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Enzymology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • DNA synthesis requires primers to initiate replication.
    • RNA primers are known to initiate DNA synthesis in biological systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the mechanism of in vitro DNA synthesis initiated by RNA primers.
    • To identify enzymes capable of extending RNA primers and characterize the resulting DNA products.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro DNA synthesis assays using single-stranded circular DNA templates.
    • Enzymatic extension of RNA primers by various DNA polymerases.
    • Characterization of reaction products using biochemical techniques.
    • Ribonuclease H treatment to remove RNA primers.

    Main Results:

    • RNA primers successfully initiated in vitro DNA synthesis on single-stranded circular DNA.
    • DNA polymerase II (KB cells) and DNA polymerase I (Micrococcus luteus) extended RNA primers.
    • An RNA-dependent DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus did not extend RNA primers.
    • The synthesized DNA chains contained a 5'-terminal RNA segment hydrogen-bonded to the template DNA.
    • The primer RNA was linked to the product DNA via a 3':5'-phosphodiester bond.
    • Ribonuclease H specifically removed the primer RNA from the DNA product.

    Conclusions:

    • RNA primers are effective initiators of DNA synthesis in vitro.
    • Specific DNA polymerases can elongate RNA primers, forming hybrid RNA-DNA molecules.
    • Ribonuclease H plays a role in processing RNA primers during DNA synthesis.
