In vitro DNA synthesis on a phi X174 template primed with a restriction fragment and catalyzed by the Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I large (Klenow) fragment (pol I) terminates at the nucleotide preceding a site that has been altered by ultraviolet irradiation or treatment with N-acetylaminofluorene. Termination on ultraviolet-irradiated templates is similar when synthesis is catalyzed by E. coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme (pol III), phage T4DNA polymerase a polymerase ..cap alpha.. from human lymphoma cells, or avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase. 3' ..-->.. 5' exonuclease activity cannot be detected in the reverse transcriptase and DNA polymerase ..cap alpha.. preparations. On N-acetylaminofluorene templates, pol I, pol III, and T4 polymerase reactions terminate immediately preceding the lesion, whereas reverse transcriptase-catalyzed reactions and, at some positions in the sequence, polymerase ..cap alpha..-catalyzed reactions terminate at the site of the lesion. Substitution of Mn/sup 2 +/ for Mg/sup 2 +/ changes the pattern of pol I-catalyzed termination sites. The data sugest that termination is a complicated process that does not depend exclusively on the 3' ..-->.. 5' exonuclease activity associated with many polymerases.
