title: RNA-primed DNA synthesis by an enzyme preparation of calf thymus containing highly enriched RNA polymerase B and DNA polymerase.
abstract: RNA polymerase B and DNA polymerase alpha were highly enriched simultaneously from calf thymus. It was shown that the preparation exhibits RNA-synthesizing activity, which is able to stimulate in vitro DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase alpha by its preceding RNA synthesis. A part of the DNA was found to be covalently attached to RNA in Cs2SO4 equilibrium gradients after denaturation by formamide.
