Purified DNA polymerase gamma replicates bovine parvovirus DNA to a unit-length product

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1983 Dec 16;117(2):580-6. doi: 10.1016/0006-291x(83)91240-8.

Abstract

DNA polymerase gamma, purified from fetal bovine liver, replicated virion single-stranded DNA from bovine parvovirus to a unit-length double-stranded DNA molecule. This product was not nicked and was covalently linked to the 3' hairpin primer. The reaction was inhibited by dideoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate, but was unaffected by ATP or aphidicolin. Double-stranded viral DNA was not a functional template for purified DNA polymerase gamma.
