Figure 5. Effect of iNTPs on open complex. A.

Figure 5

Open complex was formed in the presence of 100 µM of iNTPs (+1 and +1, +2) and the transcription was initiated by adding heparin and all the four NTPs. The run-off transcripts were resolved on 8% urea–PAGE. The initial transcribed sequence (ITS) for all the promoters is shown. B The graph shows the quantification of transcripts formed in the absence and presence of +1 iNTP and +1, +2 iNTPs. The amount of run-off transcripts formed was measured by densitometry and indicated as AU on Y axis. C Effect of pppGpp on open complex. Open complex was formed in the presence of increasing concentrations of pppGpp as indicated and the transcription was initiated as described before. The run-off transcripts were resolved on 8% urea–PAGE. D The graph shows the quantification of transcripts formed in the presence of increasing concentrations of pppGpp. The amount of run-off transcripts formed was measured by densitometry and indicated as AU on Y axis.
