RNA Pol II
Dicer-2
Source was embryos of wild-type fly line; bait produced from endogenous gene; prey produced from endogenous gene.
DCR2
Source was S2 cell line nuclear extracts.
RNase treatment did not disrupt observed interaction.
Compared with general transcription factors, the amount of RpII215 protein interacting with Dcr-2 protein appeared to be in the same range as for the Tbp (TATA-binding) protein.
