Concentration dependence on the rate of dTTP incorporation into 21-19/41A-mer (Table 1). A pre-incubated solution of enzyme (300 nM) and 5′-[32P]-labeled 21-19/41A-mer DNA (30 nM) was mixed with increasing concentrations of dTTP for various times prior to be quenched by 0.37 M EDTA. The observed rate constants (kobs) were plotted against the concentrations of dTTP and the data were fit to Equation 2 (Materials and Methods). (A) For fPolλ R386A, a kp of 1.3 ± 0.1 s−1 and a Kd of 15 ± 5 µM were determined, and (B) for fPolλ R386E, a kp of 0.005 ± 0.001 s−1 and a Kd of 1000 ± 410 µM were determined.
