Plant Physiology 64:671-673 (1979) © 1979 American Society of Plant Biologists Comparison of Large Subunits of Type II DNA-dependent RNA Polymerases from Higher Plants 1a The Biological Laboratories, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138
Two-dimensional tryptic mapping of 125I-labeled polypeptides has been employed to compare the large subunits of type II DNA-dependent RNA polymerases from maize, parsley (Petroselinum sativum), and wheat. Maps of the 220 kilodalton (kd) and 140 kd subunits from wheat RNA polymerase II differ from those of the corresponding subunits from parsley enzyme II. The 180 kd subunits from maize and parsley type II enzymes also yield dissimilar tryptic maps. Thus, despite similarities in molecular mass, the large subunits of wheat, parsley, and maize type II RNA polymerases are unique to each individual plant species.
