tsAF8 cells are a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of BHK cells that arrest in the G1 phase of the cell cycle at the non-permissive temperature of 40.6 degrees C. Previous reports had suggested that the temperature-sensitivity of these cells was based on a defect in either the synthesis, assembly or turnover of RNA polymerase II. We now show that the direct microinjection of purified RNA polymerase II into nuclei of tsAF8 cells corrects the ts defect and allows these cells to enter the S phase of the cell cycle.
