Glycerol gradient sedimentation of sp pol δ. This step was carried out as described in Materials and Methods. (A) Glycerol gradient fractions were assayed for pol δ polymerase activity using the poly(dA):oligo(dT) assay. Aliquots (10 μl) of glycerol gradient fractions were subjected to Western blot analyses using polyclonal antibodies against the p125 subunit (B), Cdc1 (C), Cdc27 (D), and Cdm1 (E). LO, load on (hydroxylapatite fraction). In a separate gradient, sedimented under identical conditions, catalase and aldolase peaked at fractions 5 and 13, respectively.
