Title: Eukaryotic transcription and processing: regulation of gene expression. Final report, November 1, 1978-April 30, 1980

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6080770

During this contract period, two major research objectives were accomplished: (1) the diverse activities of the maize poly A polymerase purified from seedlings were resolved and the proteins responsible were identified, and (2) maize DNA sequences, derived from mitochondria and incorporated into a circular template were transcribed by the RNA polymerase II purified from maize seedlings. The transition in research emphasis from characterization of enzymes and other cellular components involved in gene expression generally to a definitive characterization of molecules and molecular events underlying cytoplasmic male sterility (cms) in maize has been accomplished.
