Abstract: | A polyclonal antiserum was raised against highly purified RNA polymerase II from soybean embryos. Pure RNA polymerase II was fractionated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose sheets, incubated with the immune antiserum and then with iodinated protein A. Autoradiograms showed that the immune antiserum recognized all subunits of RNA polymerase II. Subunits 42, 27 and 16 kdalton were particularly reactive. Application of this transfer technique to protein extracts from soybean embryos or from cultured soybean cells allowed the identification of subunits of RNA polymerase II in the extracts. Analysis of the staining of the bands on the autoradiograms for increasing amounts of pure RNA polymerase II demonstrated that the transfer was quantitative, so that standard curves could be drawn to estimate the unknown amounts of enzyme in the extracts.Abbreviations DEAE diethylaminoethyl - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate |
