Soluble RNA Polymerases from Human Placenta. Functional and Structural Properties

Abstract: Two RNA polymerase activities (RNA polymerase A and B) were solubilized by ammonium sulfate extraction of nuclei from human placenta. Both purified activities were completely dependent upon added DNA. RNA polymerase A was insensitive to -amanitin, whereas RNA polymerase B was inhibited by this compound. The enzymes differed in their responses to salt conditions. The template specificities of RNA polymerase B were studied using native and denatured DNA from different sources as well as synthetic double-stranded… Show more

“…The requirements of placental RNA polymerase type I1 activity and preference for denatured template over native DNA, and Mn over Mg correspond with those of calf thymus RNA polymerase type I1 and, for that matter, with all nuclear RNA polymerase type I1 enzymes isolated thus far from mammals (Roeder, 1976). The data reported here confirm and extend the earlier findings by Voigt et al (1970) and Kaufmann and Voigt (1973), who purified this placental enzyme by DEAE-cellulose chromatography.…”

“…The first work on partially purified human placental RNA polymerase type I1 came from the Max-Planck Institute (Mertelsmann and Matthaei, 1968;Mertelsmann, 1969;Voigt et al, 1970;Kaufmann and Voigt, 1973). RNA polymerase type I1 was purified by DEAEcellulose chromatography and characterized with respect to optimal ionic strength, pH, template, and metal requirements, and to its sensitivity to several toxins and steroids in in vitro experiments.…”
