[Density gradient ultracentrifugation method of studying sibiromycin interaction with linear and circular DNA].

Sibiromycin added to linear chromosomal E. coli DNA in vitro leads to the decrease of bouyant density in neutral CsCl density gradient. This decrease is a linear function of sibiromycin/DNA ratio and amounts to about 32 mg/ml at the ratio equal to 0.1. Binding sibiromycin does not change the degree of hydration of DNA as revealed by centrifugation in metrizamide density gradients. When added to the covalently closed or open circular DNA of PM-2 phage, sibiromycin decreased the bouyant density of these DNA species to a similiar extent. The antibiotic does not induce single-strand breaks in DNA in vitro as follows from the results of ethidium bromide-CsCl density gradient centrifugation of covalently closed PM-2 DNA.

[Conjugation of polytene chromosomes in intraspecies hybrids of the virilis group of Drosophila. II. Hybridization of complementary RNA with polytene chromosomes in specimens].

A cytological hybridization of H-3-complementary RNA synthetized from DNA a template of D. virilis with the polytene chromosomes of D. virilis and the hybrids between D. virilis and D. texana, was carried out in situ. The uridine label of RNA was shown to be located mainly over the disc of the polytene chromosomes, the silver grains in interspecies hybrids being located over both homogous chromosomes including the unpaired gions.

RNA-polymerase activity in isolated nuclei of developing silkworm embryos.

Nuclei isolated from developing embryos of the silkworm (Bombyx mori) are capable of RNA synthesis in vitro. The incorporation of C-14-uridine triphosphate (C-14-UTP) into the acid-insoluble fraction requires the presence of the other three ribonucleoside triphosphates; it is inhibited by actinomycin, olivomycin, and ethidium bromide, and is stimulated by ammonium sulfate. In a medium of moderate ionic strength C-14-UTP incorporation is slightly inhibited by alpha-amanitine (4 mug/ml), whereas in the presence of 0.2 M ammonium sulfate the same alpha-amanitine concentration reduces the incorporation by 90%. These data indicate that silkworm embryo nuclei, like nuclei from several other sources, contain two different RNA-polymerase fractions.
