The effect of
vitamin B6 deficiency
on the activity of
RNA polymerase
and expression of several mRNAs in rat liver was investigated. The activities of
RNA polymerase I
and II in the liver of vitamin B6-deficient rats were found to be higher than the control rats by 30%. The expression of several mRNAs, including mRNAs for beta-actin and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and the content of poly(A)+ RNA were also increased in vitamin deficiency. These observations suggest that vitamin B6 influences gene expression in the liver, at least in part, by modulating the activity of
RNA polymerase
.
