Selective Modulation of RNA Polymerase I Activity during Growth Transitions in the Soybean Seedling

RESUMO
RNA polymerase I and II activities were measured in tissues of the soybean (Glycina max, var. Wayne) hypocotyl where dramatic changes in the relative level of RNA synthesis are associated with normal and auxin-induced growth transitions. When assayed in isolated nuclei, the activity of RNA polymerase I changed much more than the activity of RNA polymerase II during these growth transitions. The activity of RNA polymerase I expressed in the nuclei generally showed a positive correlation with the relative level of RNA synthesis (i.e. accumulation) of that tissue. Following solubilization of the RNA polymerases from these isolated nuclei and fractionation of them on DEAE-cellulose, the activity of RNA polymerase I relative to that of RNA polymerase II showed smaller changes during these growth transitions than when assayed in the nuclei. Thus, these data indicate that the activity of RNA polymerase I is significantly modulated in the nucleus, up or down depending upon the growth state, during growth transitions in the soybean in addition to lesser changes which occur in the apparent level of the enzyme.
