1. Artichoke tuber tissue contained RNA polymerase activity bound to the chromatin and in the supernatant after chromatin sedimentation. 2. The activity in the supernatant, the soluble polymerase, was fractionated into polymerases I and II by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and the properties of each activity were determined. 3. The proportions of chromatin-bound and soluble activities varied with growth of the tissue, and there was a correlation between chromatin-bound activity and RNA accumulation. 4. The properties of the solubilized chromatin activity were compared with those of the soluble activity, and the relationship between these two activities is discussed.

Treatment of perfused rabbit heart with reserpine causes a decrease of incorporation of labelled precursors into RNA species of subcellular fractions and polyamines. Ornithine decarboxylase, S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase and cytoplasmic Mn2+-stimulated polyadenylate polymerase activities are not modified. Addition of noradrenaline to reserpine-treated perfused hearts enhances, compared with the control, the incorporation of precursor into RNA in all subcellular fractions other than the nuclear one, restores incorporation of labelled putrescine into polyamines, enhances ornithine decarboxylase and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase activities and causes a 12-fold increase in cytoplasmic Mn2+-dependent polyadenylate polymerase activity. After treatment with noradrenaline the increase in radioactivity was found solely in AMP after hydrolysis of microsomal RNA to nucleoside monophosphates.
