Circular chloroplast DNA from Euglena gracilis.

Chloroplast DNA of the protozoan flagellate, Euglena gracilis, exists as circular molecules, 40 mum in contour length, as shown by electron microscopy and buoyant density analyses.

DNA polymerase activity of cultured rheumatoid synovial cells.

Cultured synovial cells from 8 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 7 subjects without joint disease were assayed and comapred for RNA-directed and DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity. No activity was found in either RA or control specimens using a synthetic RNA template that specificically detects oncornavirus RNA-directed DNA polymerase. The DNA-directed DNA polymerase activity of RA specimens was increased (P less than 0.10) in the high-speed pellet fraction of cell lysates. The possible relationship of these finding to virus infection in RA is disscussed.
