RNA polymerase was purified from vegetative-phase mycelia of Streptomyces griseus by a series of ion-exchange chromatographies. By western blot analysis using antiserum against S. coelicolor HrdB, which is a principal sigma factor (sigma(hrdB)), the purified holoenzyme was found to contain sigmaB (=sigma(hrdB)) of S. griseus. Significant amounts of HrdB protein were, however, eluted from the DEAE column at lower concentrations of KCl than that required for for elution of the holoenzyme containing sigmaB, suggesting that sigmaB is dissociated from the core enzyme, or an excess amount of sigmaB exists in S.griseus cells. The holoenzyme containing sigmaB (EsigmaB) transcribed in vitro the dagA promoter of S. coelicolor, and the hardB and hsp70 promoters of S. griseus, suggesting that it is involved in transcription of the essential genes. EsigmaB may be a major form of RNA polymerase holoenzyme in the growing phase of S. griseus.

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).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
