Four chromatographically separable DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (nucleosidetriphosphate:RNA nucleotidyltransferase; EC 2.7.7.6) were partially purified from imaginal discs of Drosophila melanogaster. Their properties are similar to those described for RNA polymerases I and II isolated from other eukaryotes. In vitro incubation of discs with beta-ecdysone, juvenile hormone, or cycloheximide resulted in increased activity of RNA polymerase I. The increase was irreversible with beta-ecdysone incubation and removal but reversible with juvenile hormone incubation and removal. With beta-ecdysone, the rate of the increase in polymerase I activity paralleled the kinetics of ecdysone binding to discs and increases in the rate of precursor incorporation into RNA. A model to explain the increased acticity of RNA polymerase I is presented.
从黑腹果蝇的成虫盘部分纯化出了四种可通过色谱分离的依赖DNA的RNA聚合酶(核苷三磷酸:RNA核苷酸转移酶;EC 2.7.7.6)。它们的特性与从其他真核生物中分离出的RNA聚合酶I和II的特性相似。用β-蜕皮激素、保幼激素或环己酰亚胺对成虫盘进行体外孵育,会导致RNA聚合酶I的活性增加。β-蜕皮激素孵育和去除后这种增加是不可逆的,但保幼激素孵育和去除后是可逆的。对于β-蜕皮激素,聚合酶I活性增加的速率与蜕皮激素与成虫盘结合的动力学以及前体掺入RNA的速率增加平行。本文提出了一个解释RNA聚合酶I活性增加的模型。
