Abstract
The product of the rep gene of Escherichia coli catalytically separates phiX174 duplex DNA strands in advance of their replication, utilizing ATP in the process (Scott, J. F., Eisenberg, S., Bertsch, L. L., and Kornberg, A. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 74, 193-197). The enzyme has now been purified to near-homogeneity. Relatively large quantities were obtained from ColE1-plasmid-containing cells in which the enzyme level was 7 to 10 times above wild type. The assay for rep protein was based on its essential role, with phage-induced cistron A protein, in enzymatic synthesis of phage phiX174 (+) strands, using duplex circular DNA as template. The protein exhibits a molecular weight of 65,000 under denaturing and reducing conditions. The turnover number of the enzyme is approximately 6800 ATP molecules/min in strand separation as measured by extent of replication, or in an uncoupled reaction using single-stranded DNA effector.
