Template structural requirements for transcription in vivo by RNA polymerase II.

Abstract:

:Purified simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA is reconstituted into chromatin and transcribed by endogenous RNA polymerase II when microinjected into nuclei of Xenopus laevis oocytes. We have correlated the kinetics of chromatin reconstitution with that of accumulation of virus-specific RNA in this system. A delay of approximately 3 h was found in the appearance of appreciable numbers of both fully supercoiled molecules and transcriptionally active templates. SV40 mini-chromosomes, isolated from virus-infected monkey cells with 0.2 M NaCl, also exhibited this lag in onset of transcriptional activity when microinjected into oocytes. These findings indicate that neither purified SV40 DNA nor SV40 DNA containing a full complement of nucleosomes can function as a template for transcription in vivo before association with appropriate cellular nonhistone chromosomal factors has taken place. In addition, the gradual degradation of linear SV40 DNA in oocytes was not sufficient to account for the fact that it was much less transcriptionally active than circular SV40 DNA. Taken together, these results indicate that the conformational state of the DNA can affect its ability to function as a template for transcription in vivo by RNA polymerase II. In contrast, transcription by RNA polymerase III of purified, circularized cloned DNAs encoding genes for 5S rRNA was detectable long before the injected DNAs had time to reconstitute into chromatin. Therefore, the template structural requirements for transcription in vivo by RNA polymerases II and III are different.
