Gel analysis of primer extension products synthesized by (a) AMV-RT and (b) human DNA polymerase β, from the control template containing 2′-O-methylguanosine. Varying concentrations of single deoxynucleoside triphosphates or an eqimolar mixture of all four dNTPs (dNTP mix) served as substrates for reactions as indicated. Lane M, 5′-[32P]-labelled oligonucleotide size standards consisting of primer (P; 16-mer) and synthetic oligonucleotides generated by incremental addition of nucleotides, forming a 17-mer (+1), 18-mer (+2), 19-mer (+3) and 20-mer (+4). The +4 band corresponds to a primer that has been extended to the end of the template. Some 21-mer is visible in the dNTP mix reactions of AMV-RT, and is likely to result from non-templated terminal transferase activity of that enzyme (41). Band intensities are reported in the Supplementary Material.
