Deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid polymerases from murine spleen cells. Increased amounts of the nucleolar species in leukaemic tissue

Abstract: 1. In the spleens of infected mice, the Friend leukaemia virus induces a sharp increase in the ability of subsequently isolated nuclei to incorporate exogenous UTP into an acid-insoluble product. Inhibitor studies indicate that the incremental RNA synthesis proceeds from a DNA template and that both nucleolar and nucleoplasmic activities are involved. 2. The partially purified DNA-dependent RNA polymerases from control and virus-infected tissue are indistinguishable with respect to chromatographic mobility, de… Show more

“…Thus, the striking disparity in binding strengths of many HMG box proteins for their DNA regulatory elements and cis-DDP 1,2-d(GpG) adducts predicts that the transcription factor-regulatory element complexes would be unlikely to be disrupted by cis-DDP adducts in these specific cases. Enhanced ribosomal RNA synthesis is an important requirement for cell proliferation and tumor growth (58)(59)(60)(61)(62). The correlation between altered rRNA synthesis and changes in the level of mRNA or degree of phosphorylation in mammalian UBF has been observed by in vitro induction of cell growth and differentiation (63).…”

“…Free and chromatin-engaged RNA-polymerases have been measured in different aliquots from the same original suspension of nuclei (Ternell et d., 1985;Yu, 1975;Warnick and Lazarus, 1982). Incubation conditions have been described (Ternell et al, 1985;Babcock and Rich, 1973). Free RNA polymerase activity was quantified by addition of poly d(A-T) in excess (33 pg/ml) during inhibition of the chromatin-engaged (transcribing) enzyme by actinomycin D (15 p g / d ) .…”
