It has been reported (Iborra et al. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 10920-10924) that the third and the fifth largest subunit of yeast RNA polymerase I exhibit ribonuclease H activity. The authors suggested that the third largest subunit is identical with the chromatin-associated ribonuclease H49, the putative yeast equivalent of bovine ribonuclease H IIb. Although the third largest subunit of calf thymus RNA polymerase I and ribonuclease H IIb display nearly identical molecular masses under denaturing conditions, serological analysis reveals that, in contrast to their counterparts in yeast, these mammalian proteins are distinct entities. Interestingly, sera from some patients with mixed connective tissue disease which contain antibodies directed against RNA polymerase I, also react with ribonuclease H IIb epitopes. This observation suggests that a protein displaying ribonuclease H IIb antigenicity could be associated with RNA polymerase I. Additional indications supporting this conclusion are discussed.
