Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), purified exclusively from the extracellular media, contained a DNA polymerase activity in addition to a protein kinase activity. The DNA polymerase expressed its maximum activity in the presence of 5-10 mM MgCl2. The enzyme was able to use effectively activated calf thymus DNA, poly(dA) .cntdot. oligo(dT)12-18 and poly(dC) .cntdot. oligo(dG)12-18 as the template primers. The DNA polymerizing activity was eluted with 0.18-0.2 MgKCl from a phosphocellulose column. It was relatively resistant to phosphonoacetic acid inhibition even at a high concentration of 100 .mu.g/ml with activated calf thymus DNA as the template primer, but the DNA polymerase activity was totally suppressed at this concentration when poly(dA) .cntdot. oligo(dT)12-18 was used as the template primer. The enzyme activity was inhibited by (NH4)2SO4 at 0.01-0.3 M with either activated calf thymus DNA or poly(dA) .cntdot. oligo(dT)12-18 as the template primer. The protein kinase has maximum activity in the presence of 10-20 mM MgCl2 and preferred virion proteins as phospho-acceptor to protamine sulfate. Histone, casein and bovine serum albumin were found to be poor substrates. The phosphorylated protein pattern of the in vivo [32P]Pi-labeled virions was not identical to that of the in vitro phosphorylated Nonidet P40-dissociated virions, although 7 phosphorylated polypeptides did co-migrate in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Procedures known to solubilize virions showed that the DNA polymerase and protein kinase were internal components of the virion.
