Abstract：
:The quaternary structures of Escherichia coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase holenzyme (alpha 2 beta beta' sigma) and core enzyme (alpha 2 beta beta') have been investigated by chemical cross-linking with a cleavable bifunctional reagent, methyl 4-mercaptobutyrimidate, and noncleavable reagents, dimethyl suberimidate and N,N'-(1,4-phenylene)bismaleimide. A model of the subunit organization deduced from cross-linked subunit neighbors identified by dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicates that the large beta and beta' subunits constitute the backbone of both core and holoenzyme, while sigma and two alpha subunits interact with this structure along the contact domain of beta and beta' subunits. In holoenzyme, sigma subunit is in the vicinity of at least one alpha subunit. The two alpha subunits are close to each other in holoenzyme, core enzyme, and the isolated alpha 2 beta complex. Cross-linking of the "premature" core and holoenzyme intermediates in the in vitro reconstitution of active enzyme from isolated subunits suggests that these species are composed of subunit complexes of molecular weight lower than that of native core and holoenzyme, respectively. The structural information obtained for RNA polymerase and its subcomplexes has important implications for the enzyme-promoter recognition as well as the mechanism of subunit assembly of the enzyme.
