Resumen

The activity of DNA polymerase (deoxynucleosidetriphosphate:DNA deoxynucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.7) in extracts of Escherichia coli C, synchronously infected with bacteriophage F{cyrillic}X174 increases by a factor of between 2 and 5, 20 min after the initiation of virus development. F{cyrillic}X174 irradiated with ultraviolet light did not elicit this response. The optimum Mg2+ and K+ concentrations of DNA polymerase in extracts from control E. coli and from those 20 min after infection differed considerably. Both DNA polymerases showed an apparent increase in activity when preheated at temperatures below 55°, but the enzyme from infected E. coli showed a greater increase. DNA polymerase from infected E. coli was purified approx. 1000-fold by means of fractionation with (NH4)2SO4 and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose.
