It has been shown that the addition of hydrogen peroxide to the incubation medium greatly increases the in vitro binding of tritiated estradiol or its degradation products to uterine tissue. The binding probably is covalent. It involves a hemoprotein which can be demonstrated histochemically by a peroxidase reaction. In light and electron microscopic radioautographs, the sites of radioactivity in uterine tissues after incubation with tritiated estradiol are mainly the specific granules of eosinophils and the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. The possible significance of an interaction between estradiol and a peroxidative hemoprotein is discussed.

ABSTRACT The interaction of the PB1 subunit of the influenza virus polymerase with the viral RNA (vRNA) template has been studied in vitro. The experimental approach included the in vitro binding of labeled model vRNA to PB1 protein immobilized as an immunoprecipitate, as well as Northwestern analyses. The binding to model vRNA was specific, and an apparent Kd of about 2 × 10−8 M was determined. Although interaction with the isolated 3′ arm of the panhandle was detectable, interaction with the 5′ arm was prominent and the binding was optimal with a panhandle analog structure (5′+3′ probe). When presented with a panhandle analog mixed probe, PB1 was able to retain the 3′ arm as efficiently as the 5′ arm. The sequences of the PB1 protein involved in vRNA binding were identified by in vitro interaction tests with PB1 deletion mutants. Two separate regions of the PB1 protein sequence proved positive for binding: the N-terminal 83 amino acids and the C-proximal sequences located downstream of position 493. All mutants able to interact with model vRNA were capable of binding the 5′ arm more efficiently than the 3′ arm of the panhandle. Taken together, these results suggest that two separate regions of the PB1 protein constitute a vRNA binding site that interacts preferentially with the 5′ arm of the panhandle structure.
