Under appropriate conditions, Cu2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ significantly inhibit human DNA polymerase .beta. at concentrations below 10-5 M. Each metal showed apparent linear noncompetitive inhibition kinetics with respect to the template primer and the deoxynucleoside triphosphate substrate, indicating that complex formation with these components does not account for the inhibition. Apparently, neither Pb2+ nor Cd2+ inhibit by displacing required Zn atoms from the polymerase. The interaction of the metals with the enzyme can be reversed or prevented by EDTA or by thiol compounds, except that inhibition by Cd2+ ions can be reversed by monothiols but not by dithiols. The metals probably do not inhibit through reaction with thiol groups since the inhibition is not decreased by pretreating the enzyme with N-ethylmaleimide. Although Zn2+ is moderately inhibitory in Mng activated poly(dT) synthesis on a poly(dA) template, it can fill the requirement for a divalent metal ion and, under the conditions tested, is about 60% as effective as Mn2+.
