摘要: α-Amanitin, a toxic substance from the mushroom Amanita phalloides, is potent inhibitor of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II (the nucleoplasmic form) sea urchin, rat liver, and calf thymus. This compound exerts no effect on activity I (nucleolar or III (also nucleoplasmic). The inhibition due to specific interaction with complex DNA II.
