In vitro transcription of heat-shock-specific RNA from chromatin of Drosophila melanogaster cells.

Abstract:

:Polyadenylylated RNA synthesized after heat shock was isolated from polysomes of cultured cells of Drosophila melanogaster and used as template to prepare cDNA. An excess of poly(A)-RNA from heat-shocked cells hybridized to 80% of the cDNA, whereas cytoplasmic poly(A)-RNA from cells grown at 25 degrees could drive only half of the cDNA probe into hybrid. These sequences were removed from the cDNA population by annealing to poly(A)-RNA from cells grown at 25 degrees. The unreacted material represented only heat-shock-induced mRNA sequences, as shown by a second cycle of hybridization. Isolated chromatin was transcribed in vitro at 25 degrees with Escherichia coli RNA polymerase, with mercurated UTP as precursor. RNA transcribed from chromatin that was prepared from cells 1 hr after the temperature was shifted to 37 degrees hybridized with 100-fold faster kinetics to the heat-shock-specific cDNA probe than did RNA transcribed from chromatin of cells grown at 25 degrees. Therefore, heat shock results in a change in chromatin structure recognizable by E. coli RNA polymerase.
