Abstract
Polycytidylic acid [poly(rC)] covalently linked to cyanogen bromide-activated agarose is an effective affinity matrix for the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus. Poly(rC)-agarose is capable of binding large quantities of avian myeloblastosis DNA polymerase, which is then eluted by using a linear KCl gradient of increasing concentration. The DNA polymerase isolated from crude, detergent-disrupted virions by a single pass through columns of poly(rC)-agarose appears nearly homogeneous (approximately 90% pure) as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. Complete recovery of input enzymatic activity was obtained. Results suggest that polyribonucleotide columns may provide a high-yield, rapid method for the purification of oncornaviral DNA polymerase.Entities:
