E. Cardellini et al., PHOSPHOPEPTIDES DERIVED FROM IN-VITRO PHOSPHORYLATED ESCHERICHIA-COLIRNA-POLYMERASE BIND TO DNA AND AFFECT DNA-TRANSCRIPTION, Molecular and cellular biochemistry, 178(1-2), 1998, pp. 393-396
E. Coli RNA polymerase was phosphorylated with protein kinase CKII and
allowed to bind to pBR322. After digestion of the RNA polymerase-pBR3
22 complex with proteinase K, the phosphopeptides that remained bound
to DNA were extracted and analyzed. These phosphopeptides are able to
bind again to DNA and to inhibit transcription.
