Table 1. Analysis of the kinetics of the initiation of Ad5 DNA replicationa.

pTP Kmapp (μM dCTP) kcatapp/Kmappb (M−1 s−1)
Wild-type 2.06 ± 0.33 2.20
D578E 2.12 ± 0.11 2.01
D578N 4.16 ± 0.16 1.16
D578R 5.68 ± 1.48 0.31
D582E 3.45 ± 0.62 1.13
D582N 4.12 ± 0.30 0.98
D582R

aThe Kmapp and Vmaxapp values of pTP deoxycytidylation by polymerase in the initiation reaction were calculated from Lineweaver–Burk plots (0.6–20 μM dCTP) based on at least two independent experiments for each pTP. The Kmapp and Vmaxapp of D582R pTP could not be determined since the initiation activity of this mutant was below the detection limit.

bkcatapp/Kmapp ratio describes the catalytic efficiency of initiation. kcatapp was calculated from kcatapp = Vmaxapp/Et, where [Et] is the total amount of enzyme (pol).
