Gene specific priming of complementary DNA synthesis.

R J Crawford, J R Wells

    Molecular Biology Reports
    |November 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Avian Myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase synthesizes complete complementary DNA (cDNA) from globin mRNA. E. coli DNA polymerase I produces shorter cDNA fragments, but the transcriptase can extend these fragments for complete gene copying.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis is crucial for gene expression studies.
    • Different enzymes yield cDNA of varying lengths and properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare cDNA synthesis using Avian Myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase and E. coli DNA polymerase I.
    • To investigate the ability of reverse transcriptase to extend shorter cDNA fragments.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesis of chicken globin mRNA complementary DNA (cDNA) using two different enzymes.
    • Analysis of cDNA size and hybridization kinetics (Crot1/2 values).

    Main Results:

    • Avian Myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase produced full-length (9 S, 620 nucleotides) cDNA.
    • E. coli DNA polymerase I generated shorter cDNA fragments (4 S, 100-200 nucleotides) from the mRNA's poly-A tail.
    • Reverse transcriptase demonstrated the ability to use polymerase I-generated cDNA as a primer for extended synthesis.

    Conclusions:

    • Avian Myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase is effective for synthesizing full-length globin cDNA.
    • The enzyme can also extend partial cDNA fragments, indicating a versatile mechanism for cDNA synthesis.
