Figure 3. In vitro transcription elongation.

Figure 3

In vitro transcription assay of WCEs from BY4741 (wt), med15, bur2, fun12, bre1, spt20, tpd3, and not5 strains. Each reaction was stopped after 30 min, treated with RNaseT1 and run in a 6% PAGE. Two bands from each G-less cassette were obtained, probably due to incomplete action of RNaseT1. Efficiency of transcription elongation was determined as the percentage of transcripts that reach the 376-nt cassette in respect to those that cover the 84-nt cassette. Radioactivity incorporated into the cassettes was quantified in a Fuji FLA3000 and normalized with respect to the C content of each cassette. The mean value of the wt (84%) was normalized to 100%. Mean value and standard deviation of three independent experiments are shown.
