Abstract
Quantitative effects of inhibitors of the replicative DNA polymerases (pol) alpha, delta and epsilon from calf thymus are reported under similar assay conditions. Carbonyldiphosphonate was a competitive inhibitor of pols delta and epsilon, with 4- to 6-fold selectivity compared to pol alpha. Aphidicolin inhibited pols alpha and delta with 6- to 10-fold selectivity compared to pol epsilon. The 'butylphenyl' nucleotides, BuPdGTP and BuAdATP, inhibited pol alpha with at least 1000-fold selectivity compared to pols delta and epsilon. The use of these inhibitors under similar assay conditions permits the discrimination of the three enzymes.Entities:
