Modification of the ionic conditions in reaction assays containing wheat germ RNA polymerase II and poly(dAT) as template markedly alters the catalytic properties of the transcription complexes. These effects have been studied by measuring the rate of abortive initiation and the extent of productive RNA synthesis. Using combinations of metal ions or various salts, a marked inhibition of abortive initiation was always associated with an increased length of RNA chains. These results are discussed in terms of modulation of the stability of transcription complexes induced by salts or divalent cations. The behavior exhibited by wheat germ RNA polymerase II is also discussed in comparison with previously reported results for procaryotic and eucaryotic RNA polymerases.
在含有小麦胚芽RNA聚合酶II和聚(dAT)作为模板的反应测定中,离子条件的改变显著改变了转录复合物的催化特性。通过测量流产起始速率和有效RNA合成的程度来研究这些效应。使用金属离子或各种盐的组合,流产起始的显著抑制总是与RNA链长度的增加相关。根据盐或二价阳离子诱导的转录复合物稳定性的调节来讨论这些结果。还将小麦胚芽RNA聚合酶II表现出的行为与先前报道的原核和真核RNA聚合酶的结果进行了比较。
