[Influence of proteins bound to single-stranded DNA on RNA and poly(A) synthesis. II. Protein--product of T4 phage gene 32].
It has been shown that the protein product of T4 bacteriophage gene 32 (protein 32) completely prevents RNA and poly(A) synthesis on the denatured DNA as a template at the protein/DNA ratio about 13:1. Under the same conditions protein 32 has no effect on these syntheses on the native DNA and inhibit poly(A) synthesis with oligo(dT)9 and oligo(dT)12 as a template, preventing binding of enzyme with oligonucleotide. It is possible that the unwinded regions of double-stranded DNA within transcription complexes are too small to allow cooperative binding of protein 32 or are unavailable for this protein. We suppose that the protein 32 and other "unwinding" protein plays not only "protective" and "structural" roles but also participates in the regulation of template activity of single-stranded DNA regions in the replicative forks.
