Abstract
The γ‐thio analogues of ATP and GTP, ATP[S] and GTP[S], have been used as affinity probes to measure RNA synthesis initiated in vitro in L cell nuclei. 5,6‐Dichlororibofuranosylbenzimidazole was found to inhibit total RNA synthesis in vitro and the amount bound by mercury‐affinity chromatography. Initiation in vitro was also shown by [35S]ATP[S] and [35S]GTP[S] incorporation in RNA molecules with a large size distribution. Although 66% of RNA molecules labeled with [35S]GTP[S] and 74% of those labeled with [35S]ATP[S] were 3–12 S in size, the remainder of the label was recovered in RNA molecules larger than 12 S and a significant portion in RNA larger than 18 S. The specificity of the initiation process seems to be indicated by the finding of molecules of the size of pre‐tRNA on gel electrophoresis which were labeled with [35S]GTP[S] but not [35S]ATP [S] under our experimental conditions. 5,6‐Dichlororibofuranosylbenzimidazole severely inhibited the incorporation of [35S]GTP [S] and [35S]ATP [S] by all size classes, indicating that it can decrease accumulation of RNA initiated in vitro in the L cell nuclear system.
