[RNA-polymerase of murine leukemia L1210 cells]. 1978

V N Verovskiĭ, and L B Gorbacheva

Multiple forms of RNA polymerases (I, II and III) from murine leukemia L1210 cells are solubilized, purified and characterized. Heterogeneity of RNA polymerases I and III is revealed by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex and Phosphocellulose (P-11). The properties of these forms such as peculiarities of transcription of native and denaturated DNA, metal ion dependence (Mg2+, Mn2+ and (NH4)2SO4) and alpha-amanitin sensitivity resemble those reported for other mammalian RNA polymerases. The level of RNA polymerase I of leukemia L1210 cells increase approximately ten-fold relative to its level in some organs of healthy mice.

D007939	Leukemia L1210	An experimental LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA of mice.	Leukemia L 1210,L 1210, Leukemia,L1210, Leukemia
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012318	RNA Polymerase I	A DNA-dependent RNA polymerase present in bacterial, plant, and animal cells. The enzyme functions in the nucleolar structure and transcribes DNA into RNA. It has different requirements for cations and salts than RNA polymerase II and III and is not inhibited by alpha-amanitin.	DNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase I,RNA Polymerase A,DNA Dependent RNA Polymerase I,Polymerase A, RNA,Polymerase I, RNA
D012319	RNA Polymerase II	A DNA-dependent RNA polymerase present in bacterial, plant, and animal cells. It functions in the nucleoplasmic structure and transcribes DNA into RNA. It has different requirements for cations and salt than RNA polymerase I and is strongly inhibited by alpha-amanitin. EC 2.7.7.6.

D012320	RNA Polymerase III	A DNA-dependent RNA polymerase present in bacterial, plant, and animal cells. It functions in the nucleoplasmic structure where it transcribes DNA into RNA. It has specific requirements for cations and salt and has shown an intermediate sensitivity to alpha-amanitin in comparison to RNA polymerase I and II.

D012321	DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases	Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
