The effect of DNA superhelicity on in vitro transcription catalyzed by purifiedEscherichia coliRNA polymerase or S100 crude extract proteins was examined at various KC1 concentrations. DNA from a recombinant plasmid pMT48 harboring thepLpromoter-controlled fusedN-trpgenes and thepRpromoter-controlledtof(cro) gene was employed as a template. Stimulation of transcription by superhelicity is generally more pronounced with the S100 crude extract proteins than with pure RNA polymerase. At KC1 concentrations lower than 100 mM with pure RNA polymerase, there is no significant difference in the template activity between the supercoiled and relaxed forms of pMT48 DNA. In contrast, the dependence of efficient template activity on superhelicity is great over a whole range of KCl concentrations from 1.7 to 400 mM in the system using the S100 crude extract. The relative insensitivity of thepRpromoter to superhelicity can be observed in either transcription assay system. Analysis of the kinetics ofpL-promoted synthesis oftrpmRNA indicates that diminished transcription in vitro on a relaxed template results mainly from less frequent RNA chain initiations, but at least in part from premature arrest of the chain elongation.
