Zinc stoichiometry of yeast RNA polymerase II and characterization of mutations in the zinc-binding domain of the largest subunit
2000, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :In addition, we found that 7.0 ± 0.22 zinc ions were associated with RNAP IIΔ4/7. These results are more consistent with the number of RNAP II subunits able to bind zinc in an in vitro blotting assay than with the earlier, independent estimations of 1 or 2 zinc ions (12,13). The large difference between our result and those published previously may be due to a combination of factors including the method of RNAP II purification and preparation for atomic absorption spectroscopy.
