Four peaks of DNA-directed RNA polymerase activity are resolved by salt gradient elution of a sonicated yeast cell extract on DEAE-Sephadex. The enzymes, which are named IA, IB, II, and III in order of elution, all appear to come from cell nuclei. Only enzyme II is sensitive to alpha-amanitin. All enzymes are more active with Mn(++) than with Mg(++) as divalent ion. Enzymes IB and II have salt optima in the range 0.05-0.10 M (NH(4))(2)SO(4), whereas enzyme III is maximally active at 0.20-0.25 M (NH(4))(2)SO(4). With optimal salt concentration and saturating DNA, the template preference ratio, activity on native calfthymus DNA divided by activity on denatured calf-thymus DNA, is 2.2 for IB, 0.4 for II, and 3.5 for III. None of the yeast polymerases was inhibited by rifamycin SV. Rifamycin AF/013 effectively inhibited polymerases IB, II, and III.
通过在DEAE-葡聚糖凝胶上对超声破碎的酵母细胞提取物进行盐梯度洗脱,可分离出DNA指导的RNA聚合酶活性的四个峰。这些酶按照洗脱顺序分别命名为IA、IB、II和III,似乎都来自细胞核。只有酶II对α-鹅膏蕈碱敏感。作为二价离子,所有酶在以Mn(++)作为离子时比以Mg(++)时更具活性。酶IB和II的盐最适浓度范围为0.05 - 0.10M硫酸铵,而酶III在0.20 - 0.25M硫酸铵时活性最高。在最佳盐浓度和饱和DNA条件下,模板偏好率(天然小牛胸腺DNA上的活性除以变性小牛胸腺DNA上的活性),IB为2.2,II为0.4,III为3.5。利福霉素SV对酵母聚合酶均无抑制作用。利福霉素AF/013能有效抑制聚合酶IB、II和III。
