Chinese hamster DDN cells have been exposed to low doses of X-irradiation � 15 Gy). These doses have been shown to induce significant levels of repair replication. Levels of activity of DNA polymerase were subsequently measured in cells exposed in G 1 phase of mitosis to 7�5 Gy of X-rays. Following exposure, the activity of this enzyme was observed to rise to a peak within 15 min postirradiation, then decline and then rise again over a long period. The initial rise at least was found to be sensitive to inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide, a known inhibitor of DNA polymerase-o< and DNA polymerase-y at the concentration used. It is therefore suggested that repair of X-ray-induced damage in these DON cells was at least in part dependent upon induced DNA polymerase activity and this may involve DNA polymerase-o< or DNA polymerase-y, or both.

Abstract Typical C-type oncorna virus particles as shown by electron microscopy have been purified from the supernatant of cultured lymphocytes from bovine leukosis. In the purified C-particle fraction a DNA-polymerase activity was detected. Using several synthetic RNA-or DNA-homopolymers and 70S Friend virus RNA the template response of this bovine leukosis cell particle DNA polymerase was compared with those of feline leukaemia virus DNA polymerase and DNA polymerase from normal bovine lymphocytes. The DNA polymerase detected in the viral preparation of bovine leukosis is suggested to be an oncorna-virus-specific enzyme.

ABSTRACTAL18, an inhibitor of human cytomegalovirus DNA polymerase, was serendipitously found to also block the interaction between the PB1 and PA polymerase subunits of influenza A virus. Furthermore, AL18 effectively inhibited influenza A virus polymerase activity and the overall replication of influenza A and B viruses. A molecular model to explain the binding of AL18 to both cytomegalovirus and influenza targets is proposed. Thus, AL18 represents an interesting lead for the development of new antivirals.
