title: DNA polymerases in isolated 'nuclear matrix' of Ehrlich ascites cells.
abstract: Isolated nuclei from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells continue a replicative-like in vitro DNA synthesis. Polymerase alpha is the major dNTP polymerizing enzyme in nuclei. Following complete achromatinization dNTP polymerizing activities are still associated with the residual structure termed 'nuclear matrix'. In contrast to DNA synthesis in native nuclei, 'nuclear matrix' DNA synthesis is mainly due to polymerase beta-like activity.
