Purification of the Drosophila RNA polymerase II general transcription factors.

Abstract:

:We describe a fractionation and purification scheme for the Drosophila RNA polymerase II general transcription factors. Drosophila TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, and RNA polymerase II have been purified to greater than 50% homogeneity from Drosophila embryo nuclear extracts. TFIID has been purified 80-fold and is not significantly contaminated with any of the other general factors. This is the first reported identification and purification of Drosophila TFIIH and TFIIE. Further analysis shows that, similar to their mammalian counterparts, Drosophila TFIIH is composed of eight polypeptides sized between 30 and 100 kDa, and Drosophila TFIIE is composed of two polypeptides sized at 34 and 60 kDa. When all of these fractions are combined with recombinant Drosophila TFlIB, a highly purified in vitro transcription system is generated that has not previously been available in Drosophila. The TFIID fraction can be replaced with recombinant Drosophila TBP to give a transcription system that is nearly free of contaminating proteins.

  • Mild mitochondrial uncoupling impacts cellular aging in human muscles in vivo.

    abstract::Faster aging is predicted in more active tissues and animals because of greater reactive oxygen species generation. Yet age-related cell loss is greater in less active cell types, such as type II muscle fibers. Mitochondrial uncoupling has been proposed as a mechanism that reduces reactive oxygen species production an...
