RESUMO
Deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6) was purified from the dimorphic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus at three stages in development. Enzyme from pure populations of stalked cells, as well as populations enriched in swarmer and predivisional cells, appeared identical in subunit structure and template requirements. The molecular weights of the enzyme subunits were 165,000, 155,000, 101,000, and 44,000, respectively. By analogy with RNA polymerase from other bacterial sources, they are considered to be components of the C. crescentus holoenzyme, β′, β, σ, and α, respectively. The C. crescentus enzyme appeared similar to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa enzyme and unlike the Escherichia coli enzyme with respect to subunit molecular weights and failure to separate into core and sigma components upon phosphocellulose chromatography. In addition, the effects of ionic strength on the time course of polymerization varied both with the sources of bacterial polymerase and bacteriophage DNA.
