PIC formation is promoter dependent. PICs were formed by incubation of WT whole-cell extracts with immobilized templates (either WT, Δ−42, or Δ−2) for 45 min. PICs were then washed and analyzed either for specific Pol I transcription (by addition of NTPs followed by primer extension) or for bound proteins (by Western blotting).
