[Effect of administration of alpha-amanitine on Mn2+ - dependent poly-A-polymerase in rat liver nuclei].

Mn2+-dependent poly(A) polymerase activity tested in isolated rat liver nuclei is unchanged both in the absence and presence of exogenous poly(A) 30 min. after administration of a dose of alpha-amanitin that inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase B. Longer times of treatment cause poly(A) polymerase to drop to 50% in the absence of poly(A) and to increase almost twice in its presence.
