Abstract: | Further comparisons were made of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (nucleotide triphosphate: RNA nucleotidyl transferase, EC 2.7.7.6) activities, partially purified from purified nuclear fragments and chloroplasts and from the soluble phase of young wheat leaves. All three preparations had the same cation specificities for maximal RNA polymerase activity (Mg2+ > Mn2+ > Ca2+) and showed an absolute dependence on an added divalent cation. All three preparations showed the same thermal stabilities and pH optima, very similar pH-activity profiles, and the same type of kinetics with ATP as substrate. Enzyme activities showed negative cooperativity with respect to ATP concentration; the high and low Km values for ATP were not significantly different for the three preparations. |
