Abstract
The adenovirus-specific DNA-binding protein (DBP) has been shown to inhibit the hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA by a DNase isolated from KB cells, (Nass, K., and Frenkel, G.D. (1980). J. Virol. 35, 314-319). The specificity of the inhibition has now been investigated. The DBP inhibits the hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA by several different DNases (DNase II, KB DNase, S1 nuclease) under a variety of reaction conditions, but it has no effect on DNase I-catalyzed hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA. The DBP also inhibits the rate of hydrolysis of double-stranded DNA by KB DNase and DNase II, but has no effect on DNase I-catalyzed hydrolysis of this substrate. The DBP also inhibits the dephosphorylation of 5′-phosphoryl-terminated DNA by bacterial alkaline phosphatase but stimulates the phosphorylation of 5′-hydroxyl-terminated DNA by polynucleotide kinase.
