Use of DNA polymerase I primed by a synthetic oligonucleotide to determine a nucleotide sequence in phage fl DNA.

A sequence of 50 residues in f1 DNA has been determined by the extension of a chemically synthesized octadeoxyribonucleotide by Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I, with radioactive nucleoside triphosphates and f1 DNA template. The polymerized product was synthesized either in the presence of manganese and a mixture of ribo- and deoxyribotriphosphates or in a magnesium-containing reaction with one or more of the four triphosphates absent. The sequence determination depended largely on fractionation of the polymerized products by two-dimensional "homochromatography." This approach and the techniques for the subsequent sequence analysis should be of general use for determining other sequences of DNA. Several features of this sequence suggest that it is located in an intercistronic region of f1 DNA.

Nucleotide sequences of two fragments from the coat-protein cistron of bacteriophage R17 ribonucleic acid.

Bacteriophage R17 RNA was labelled with (32)P and was subjected to partial digestion with ribonuclease T(1). The products were fractionated by ionophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. Two fragments were purified and their nucleotide sequences determined by methods involving complete and further partial digestion with ribonucleases A and T(1). Fragment 20 had a sequence that coded for the amino acids in positions 32-53 of the coat protein of the bacteriophage. Fragment 20X, on further purification in 7m-urea, gave rise to two smaller nucleotides whose sequences coded for the amino acids in positions 56-66 and 67-76 of the coat protein. The sequence of the two fragments was such that they could be written in the form of loops stabilized by base-pairing.
