Abstract

A new DNA polymerase (DNA nucleotidyl transferase) can be found in Raji cells following superinfeetion by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This polymerase is not present prior to infection and can be selectively extracted from infected cells. The polymerase is stimulated by ammonium sulfate. In vitro, the virus-specific drugs, phophonoacetic acid and acyclovirtriphosphate, inhibit the enzymatic activity. The enzyme can be distinguished from host enzymes by phosphocellulose chromatography. The characteristics of the enzyme extracted from virus-infected cells closely resemble those of the enzyme isolated from chemically induced virus-producing cells.
