Tom J. Guilfoyle abstract: The large-scale purification of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase I from cauliflowerinflorescence has been achieved following solubilization of the enzyme from the chromatin template. The initial step of purification of the enzyme by heparin-Sepharose chromatography at high ionic strength prevents reaggregation of chromatinproteins which can occur if salt concentrations are reduced. The enzyme was further purified by phosphocellulose, diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-Sephadex, and DEAE-cellulose chromatography and glycerol density gradient cen-trifugation. The purifiedRNA polymerase I has a specific activity of 400-450nmol of UMP incorporated into RNA in 20 min per mg of protein. From 1 kg of tissue,~ 300 gg of purified enzyme is obtained with an overall yield of> 30%. The purification of the enzyme to homogeneity takes about 4-5 days. The overall purification is~10000-fold from total tissue and~ 250-fold from isolated chromatin. Cauliflower RNA polymerase I purified by this procedure consists of seven polypeptides of 190000, 170000, 125 000, 38 000, 25 000, 22 000, and 17 500 daltons as determined by one-(dodecyl^ Eukaryotic cells contain three distinct classes of nuclear DNA1-dependent RNA polymerases which are generally re-ferred to as RNA polymerases I, II, and III. Each class of RNA polymerase has characteristic chromatographic and catalytic properties, transcriptional functions, intracellular localizations, and subunit structures [reviewed by Roeder (1979)]. RNA polymerase I is localized in the nucleolus and transcribes ribosomal DNA. RNA polymerase II is found in the nucleoplasm and catalyzes the synthesis of precursors to
