โœฆ Synopsis

Ribosomal RNA synthesis has been investigated in an in vitro system consisting of purified E. coli RNA polymerase and phi 80d3 DNA carrying rrnC operon. rRNA comprises about 25% of the total RNA synthesized in this system under optimal conditions and is stimulated by a crude protein fraction prepared from E. coli cell extracts. The stimulation activity has been fractionated by a Sephacryl S200 column and detected as a single peak of about 50,000 daltons molecular weight. The activity specifically increases the initiation frequency of transcription of the rRNA operon on the phage DNA. The addition of ppGpp partially inhibits the stimulation activity for rRNA synthesis.

Nucleoids were isolated from Escherichia coli B/r cells in steady-stage growth at different rates. The number of RNA chains growing on each nucleoid was estimated from the amount and size of RNAs synthesized by endogenous RNA polymerase.

The RNA synthesis in non-viscous lysates containing the intact folded chromosome and cytoplasm fractions prepared from Escherichia coli has been examined in vitro. The RNA synthesis not only by chain extension but also by new chain initiation occurs in this system. While the RNA synthesis by chain e
