Abstract

E. coli DNA polymerase I has been used to synthesize DNA complementary to rabbit globin mRNA. In addition to the heteropolymeric DNA, poly (dT) and poly (dA)·(dT) are also synthesized. The extent of synthesis of these three products decreases at different rates upon heat inactivation of the polymerase, suggesting that the sites of synthesis on the enzyme are either entirely or partially separate. The use of polymerase I for copying RNAs makes possible the ready availability of complementary DNAs.
