Polyriboadenylate polymerase solubilized from rat liver mitochondria

An enzyme that can synthesize polyriboadenylate chains from ATP has been solubilized from rat liver mitochondria and characterized. The enzyme incorporates AMP residues into the internucleotide linkage. It is insensitive to the usual inhibitors of RNA polymerases. In the native state, poly (A) polym...

Zusammenfassung:An enzyme that can synthesize polyriboadenylate chains from ATP has been solubilized from rat liver mitochondria and characterized. The enzyme incorporates AMP residues into the internucleotide linkage. It is insensitive to the usual inhibitors of RNA polymerases. In the native state, poly (A) polymerase is associated with a nuclease that degrades the product. Solubilization of this enzyme from isolated mitochondria releases active enzyme from inhibitory action of the nuclease.
