Evidence for the presence of DNA primase in mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract

Chromatography of a DNA polymerase preparation from mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on DNA-cellulose column, using Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) buffer containing 0.6 M NaCl as eluent, was found to yield a fraction exhibiting DNA primase-like activity free of DNA polymerase. This fraction could support the synthesis of 12-15 residue-long oligoribonucleotides on single-stranded natural or synthetic DNA templates. The oligoribonucleotides could be further elongated by incorporation of deoxyribonucleotides in the presence of Klenow fragment.
