Popis: Spheroplasts were disrupted with 0.2% Brij 58 and the separation of intact cells, spheroplasts, disrupted spheroplasts, fragmented membrane, and supernatant was performed on a linear 40~55% sucrose gradient. About half an amount of nucleic acid components was distributed in disrupted spheroplast fractions, while only a small amount of protein components was found in these fractions.DNA polymerase in the fragmented membrane fraction incorporated 3H-TTP more rapidly than that in the supernatant fraction for the first 5 to 6 min, and then the incorporation rate decreased, while DNA polymerase in the supernatant fraction incorporated 3H-TTP linearly up to 20 min when native DNA was used as a primer. The former required native DNA as a primer and showed little activity towards denatured DNA, while the latter incorporated 3H-TTP at a similar rate to both the primer DNA’s.DNA polymerase of the fragmented membrane fraction synthesized various sizes of DNA from short to a size of primer when native DNA was used as...
