Materials and Methods.-Deoxyribopolynucleotides: All of the deoxyribo-, oligo-, and polynucleotides shown in Figure 1 are chemically synthesized products. Except for the tetranucleotide, dTCTC,/syntheses of these polynucleotides remain to be published. 3 In the incubation mixtures for theDNA-joining enzymes, only the short oligonucleotidic components, eg, dTCTC, dTCTCC, contained 5'-phosphate end groups and these were labeled with p32 as shown in Figure 1. The 5'-P32-labeled products were prepared by phosphorylation of the 5'-OH groups using y-P32-labeled adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and polynucleotide kinase as described previously. 5 We are grateful to Dr. S. Chang for preparation of the y-labeled ATP and of the polynucleotide kinase. Assay of the joining reactions and isolation of the products: The standard incubation mixture (0.015-0.06 ml) contained per ml: 8 mM tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (Tris)-Cl buffer, pH 7.6, 5 mM MgCl2, 64, uM ATP, 8 mM dithiothreitol, 0.4 ODX0 each of Icosa-I and Icosa-II, and equivalent amounts of 5'-P32-labeled short oligonucleotides. In the experiments with T4-joining enzyme, the concentration of the enzyme was 1100 units/ml and in some experiments subsequent additions of comparable level were made. The E. coli joining enzyme was used at 200 units/ml.(Both enzymes were tested for specific activity side by side by using the assay described previously. 5) Incubations were at 5-20'. Aliquots (1-5, Au) removed at different intervals were takell to 0.08 ml with 0.1 M Tris-Cl buffer, pH 8.0, and after the solutiols had been boiled at 1000 for 2 min, they were incubated with 25/Ag of bacterial alkaline phosphatase at 700 for 30mnin. The mixtures were then applied to O-(diethylaminoethyl) cellulose paper strips for chromatography and the strips were counted for radioactivity as described before. 5 The joined product which remained at the origin was eluted with 1 M triethylammonium bicarbo-1338
