The effect of alpha-tocopherol on the RNA-polymerase activity in isolated rat nuclei and chromatin from normal and E-deficient rats and the possible role of tocopherol-binding proteins in this process were studied. Some differences in the RNA-polymerase activities of the nuclei were found; however, in vitro added alpha-tocopherol had no effect on the level of the label incorporation into RNA. No effect of alpha-tocopherol on this process was observed after addition of cytosol either. Analysis of chromatins from normal and E-deficient rats revealed no differences in their RNA-polymerase activities. In vitro added alpha-tocopherol increased the RNA-polymerase activity of normal (but not of vitamin E-deficient) rats. Some differences in the RNA-polymerase activities were noted after addition to the incubation medium of the Triton X-100-solubilized nuclear fraction specifically binding alpha-tocopherol. This effect was enhanced in the presence of exogenous alpha-tocopherol. The susceptibility of chromatin from normal and E-deficient rats to DNAse I hydrolysis was also found to be different. It was concluded that vitamin E can influence the RNA-polymerase activity of the nuclei and chromatin as well as the chromatin structure and that alpha-tocopherol-binding proteins are necessary for the vitamin E effect on the RNA-polymerase activity to be manifested.
