DNA-dependent RNA polymerase from yeast mitochondria.
The DNA-dependent RNA polymerase present in the mitochondria of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been solubilized using a 0.5 M KCI solution, and the soluble enzyme has been purified. Two forms of mitochondrial enzyme were obtained; they differ in their template specificity and metal-ion dependency. The mitochondrial RNA polymerase also differs from enzyme obtained from the nucleus with respect to ...
متن کاملDNA-dependent ATPase from rat mitochondria
A DNA-dependent ATPase has been highly purified from rat liver mitochondria and characterized. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP or dATP in the presence of single-stranded DNA cofactor and a divalent cation. The Km values for ATP and dATP are 0.15 mM and 0.35 mM, respectively. The enzyme activity is highly sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide. The sedimentation coefficient of the enzyme is 8....
متن کاملSelective inhibition of nucleoplasmic rat liver DNA-dependent RNA polymerase by aflatoxin B 1 .
Aflatoxin B! , a potent hepatocarcinogen, causes rapid but reversible in vivo inhibition of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase in isolated nuclei. This study was designed to determine whether the consequent decrease of RNA formation occurs as a result of direct alteration of RNA polymerase. Aflatoxin B! , l mg/kg body weight, was administered i.p. to male rats; nuclei were isolated from liver homogen...
متن کاملRNA synthesis in mitochondria isolated from rat liver.
Mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) was synthesized from purine and pyrimidine nucleosides in coupling with oxidative phosphorylation using isolated mitochondria. The in vivo synthesized mtRNA was adenine-uracil rich and sedimented at about 20 S by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. A major part of the newly synthesized mtRNA was shown to be poly (A)-containing RNA by the resistance to the digestio...
متن کاملPartial purification of mitochondrial RNA polymerase from rat liver.
Mitochondrial RNA polymerase activity from rat liver has previously been demonstrated in intact organelles. This activity has now been solubilized, partially purified, and shown to be a true polymerase, free of nuclease. The enzyme is derived from mitochondria and is not from contaminating bacteria or nuclear components. The enzyme is distinguished from its nuclear counterparts by its behavior ...
