Complete in vitro replication of SV40 DNA and chromatin in saponin-treated permeable cells.

A permeable cell system has been developed by treatment with saponin for studying in vitro replication of DNA and chromatin. DNA replication of simian virus 40 nucleoprotein complexes (SV40 chromatin) in saponin-treated permeable cells was found to be more efficient than that in digitonin-treated permeable cells. Autoradiography of the agarose-gel revealed that [alpha-32P]dCTP was incorporated into SV40 DNA I, II and replicating intermediates. The time course of the incorporation indicated complete replication of SV40 DNA and chromatin with a full number of nucleosomes. The saponin-treated permeable cell system will serve as a useful system for studying in vitro replication of DNA and chromatin in eukaryotic cells.

Nucleotide requirements for DNA replication of SV40 chromatin in digitonin-treated and saponin-treated permeable cells.

Permeable cell systems have been developed by treatment with digitonin or saponin for studying in vitro DNA replication of chromatin. DNA replication of SV40 nucleoprotein complexes (SV40 chromatin) in these systems requires the addition of ATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP, and Mg2+. Further addition of three other ribonucleoside triphosphates slightly increased DNA synthesis. Omission of ATP greatly reduced DNA synthesis. In the presence of ATP, however, omission of dATP did not significantly alter or rather slightly enhanced DNA synthesis. Analysis of replicated SV40 DNA by gel electrophoresis and autoradiography indicated that complete replication of SV40 DNA and chromatin occurred in these systems

Differential effects of aphidicolin on replicative DNA synthesis and unscheduled DNA synthesis in permeable mouse sarcoma cells.

Aphidicolin clearly discriminated replicative DNA synthesis from unscheduled DNA synthesis. Aphidicolin inhibited replicative DNA synthesis in permeable mouse ascites sarcoma cells. The mode of inhibition of aphidicolin was a mixed type with respect to deoxycytidine triphosphate but was non-competitive with respect to the other three deoxynucleoside triphosphates. Aphidicolin did not affect the activity of unscheduled DNA synthesis in either bleomycin-treated permeable sarcoma cells or isolated rat liver nuclei. Considering the difference in sensitivity of DNA polymerase alpha and beta to aphidicolin, and other related information reported previously, the results are compatible with the idea that DNA polymerase alpha is involved in replicative DNA synthesis and DNA polymerase beta in unscheduled DNA synthesis in the present systems.
