The simian virus 40 (SV40) in vitro replication system was previously used to demonstrate that the human polymerase (Pol) α-primase complex preferentially initiates DNA synthesis at pyrimidine-rich trinucleotide sequences. However, it has been reported that under certain conditions, nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) concentrations play a critical role in determining where eukaryotic primase initiates synthesis. Therefore, we have examined whether increased NTP concentrations alter the template locations at which SV40 replication is initiated. Our studies demonstrate that elevated ribonucleotide concentrations do not significantly alter which template sequences serve as initiation sites. Of considerable interest, the sequences that serve as initiation sites in the SV40 system are similar to those that serve as initiation sites for prokaryotic primases. It is also demonstrated that regardless of the concentration of ribonucleotides present in the reactions, DNA synthesis initiated outside of the core origin. These studies provide additional evidence that the Pol α-primase complex can initiate DNA synthesis only after a considerable amount of single-stranded DNA is generated.
