Abstract
A polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis band-mobility shift assay was developed to study the binding of synthetic oligonucleotides by DNA polymerase δ (pol δ) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). As measured by this assay, neither calf thymus pol δ core enzyme nor PCNA alone bind DNA stably. However, mammalian PCNA but not Drosophila PCNA promotes the formation of a distinct pol δ·PCNA·template-primer complex. Appearance of this complex is primer-dependent but does not require Mg2+. Complex stability is also influenced by the presence or absence of individual dNTPs. A model for the ordered sequential interaction of pol δ, PCNA, and DNA template-primers is proposed.
