Abstract
Stimulation of prostatic RNA polymerase in vitro by prostatic 17β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-3-one (5α-dihydrotestosterone)–receptor complexes has been previously reported. By use of the selective inhibitor, α-amanitin, we have shown that both nucleolar and extranucleolar RNA polymerase activities may be stimulated, but stimulation is abolished at high ionic strength.
