The reactivity of sulfhydryl groups of yeast DNA dependent RNA polymerase I.
The number of reactive cysteine residues of yeast RNA polymerase I was determined and their function was studied using parachloromercury benzoate (pCMB), dithiobisnitrobenzoate (DTNB) and N-ethyl-maleimide (NEM) as modifying agents. By treatment with DTNB about 45 sulfhydryl groups react in the presence of 8M urea. Under non-denaturing conditions only 20 sulfhydryl groups are reactive with pCMB...
متن کاملDNA-dependent RNA polymerase from yeast mitochondria.
The DNA-dependent RNA polymerase present in the mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been solubilized using a 0.5 M KCI solution, and the soluble enzyme has been purified. Two forms of mitochondrial enzyme were obtained; they differ in their template specificity and metal-ion dependency. The mitochondrial RNA polymerase also differs from enzyme obtained from the nucleus with respect to ...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
متن کاملSplicing-Dependent RNA Polymerase Pausing in Yeast
In eukaryotic cells, there is evidence for functional coupling between transcription and processing of pre-mRNAs. To better understand this coupling, we performed a high-resolution kinetic analysis of transcription and splicing in budding yeast. This revealed that shortly after induction of transcription, RNA polymerase accumulates transiently around the 3' end of the intron on two reporter gen...
متن کاملConditions for using DNA polymerase I as an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase.
Conditions are described for using Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I for synthesizing complementary DNA copies of natural RNA molecules, which are suitable for use in hybridization experiments. The molar ratio of enzyme to template is critical; below a certain level, synthesis is not observed. Hybrids formed with the complementary DNA are of comparable specificity and stability to those formed ...
