title: Poly rC-oligo dG specific template activity of mouse viral DNA polymerase detected by isoelectric focusing.
abstract: An acid fraction from polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing contained only DNA polymerase template activity for (rC)n-(dG)12-18 with little or no activity with (rA)n-(dT)12-18. A factor which stimulated (rC)n-(dG) 12-18 activity was also detected in low molecular weight fractions from G-100 Sephadex chromatography of the purified enzyme. Since (rC)n-(dG)12-18 acitivty is thought to be descriptive of viral DNA polymerase, this stimulation is proposed to be significant for the regulation and specificity of viral DNA synthesis.
