Polyadenylic acid sequences in the heterogeneous nuclear RNA and rapidly-labeled polyribosomal RNA of HeLa cells: possible evidence for a precursor relationship.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyadenylate sequences have been found covalently linked in heterogeneous DNA-like nuclear RNA of HeLa cells. This poly(A) material seems homogeneous in size and accounts for about 0.5% of such RNA. Similar poly(A) sequences were found in rapidly-labeled polyribosomal RNA, thought to be messenger RNA. A possible model for mRNA synthesis from large heterogeneous nuclear RNA precursor molecules is discussed.

An adenylic acid-rich sequence in messenger RNA of HeLa cells and its possible relationship to reiterated sites in DNA.
Messenger RNA from HeLa cells contains, as part of the polynucleotide chain, RNase-resistant sequences that are labeled by adenosine but not by uridine. Heterogeneous nuclear RNA also contains adenylate-rich RNase-resistant regions, but in lower proportion than messenger RNA. Hybridization to DNA of (32)P-labeled messenger RNA reveals that some of the adenylate-rich region is included in the ra...
متن کاملOccurrence of uridylate-rich oligonucleotide regions in heterogeneous nuclear RNA of HeLa cells.
Heterogeneous nuclear RNA molecules from HeLa cells contain a specific segment of about 30 nucleotides length that is largely (about 80%) uridylic acid. This oligo(U) segment is located predominantly in the larger (70S-90S) heterogeneous nuclear RNA molecules, and is essentially absent in messenger RNA and 45S ribosomal precursor RNA molecules. The oligo(U) hybridizes rapidly to cellular DNA, s...
متن کاملProduction of viral mRNA in adenovirus- transformed cells by the post- transcriptional processing of heterogeneous nuclear RNA containing viral and cell sequences.
Adenovirus 2-transformed cells contain virus-specific sequences which are covalently linked to cell-specific RNA sequences in heterogeneous nuclear RNA (HnRNA) molecules larger than 45S. Virus sequences are identified by hybridization to viral DNA, and the cell sequences are detected by hybridization to cellular DNA under conditions where hybridization only occurs to reiterated sites in cell DN...
متن کاملDouble-stranded regions in heterogeneous nuclear RNA from Hela cells.
Heterogeneous nuclear RNA from HeLa cells contains double-stranded regions that arise by base pairing of complementary sequences that exist as parts of the same molecule (intramolecular base pairing). When denatured, the RNA sequences that form the double-stranded regions hybridize rapidly to HeLa cell DNA, suggesting that they are transcribed from reiterated sites in the genome. The messenger ...
متن کاملPotentiation by 2'-deoxycoformycin of the inhibitory effect by 3'-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin) on nuclear RNA synthesis in L1210 cells in vitro.
The effect of the adenosine deaminase inhibitor, 2'-deoxycoformycin, on the inhibitory effect of cordycepin on nuclear RNA synthesis was examined in L1210 cells in vitro. The median inhibitory dose for the effect of deoxycoformycin on adenosine deaminase was 4 X 10(-8) M, and 100% inhibition was achieved at 5 X 10(-7) M. Pretreatment of cells for 30 min with 1 X 10(-6) M deoxycoformycin resulte...
