| | Processive DNA synthesis assay |
| Description: | Processive DNA synthesis was assessed by two types of assays: the Rapid Plate Assay and the M13 assay. The Rapid Plate Assay was performed as previously described. Briefly, a 5′-biotinylated 100-nucleotide template that contains adenines only at its 5′ distal end was annealed with a 15-nucleotide primer to its 3′ end and attached to streptavidin-coated 96-plate wells (Roche Applied Science). DNA synthesis was carried out in 50 μL reaction mixture containing 100 mM (NH)2S04, 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 3 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM DTT, 2% glycerol, 40 μg/ml BSA, 5 μM dATP, 5 μM dCTP, 5 μM dGTP, 1 μM digoxigenin-11-dUTP, and E9/A20/D4 proteins. The TNT reticulocyte lysate or in vitro translated luciferase was used as a negative control. After incubation at 37° C. for 30 min, the plate was washed extensively with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The wells were then incubated with anti-digoxigenin-peroxidase antibody (Roche) for 1 h at 37° C., followed by washing with PBS. The substrate 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline)-sulfonate (Roche) was added, and plates were gently rocked to allow color development. DNA synthesis was quantified by measuring the absorbance of each reaction at 405 nm with a microplate reader (Tecan). |
