The complexes were incubated for a prolonged time (1–4 hrs) in transcription buffer (pH 7.5), followed by resolving the cleavage products on 20% urea-PAGE. (B) pH-induced transcript-cleavage activity of RNAP. The gels show cleaved RNA generated from the 20 mer ternary complexes formed by Ms, Mtb and Ec RNAP in buffers of pH 6.0 to 10.0.
