Ribonucleic Acid Composition in Cytoplasmic Fractions Isolated from Rat Liver Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Differences in ribonudeic acid (RNA) composition were observed by various authors between the liver cell fractions isolated by differential centrifugation. While authors generally agree that the nuclear R N A differs from the cytoplasmic RNA, disagreement exists with respect to the composition of the R N A isolated from cytoplasmic fractions (1-8). Such analysis was usually carried out on three cytoplasmic fractions, namely the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions and the supernatant fluid. The present work represents an a t t empt to study the composition of the R N A isolated from nine different cytoplasmic fractions prepared by differential centrifugation.

Ribonucleic Acid Composition of Rat Liver Tumor
Studies on normal tissues have suggested that the ribonucleic acid (RNA) of nuclei, mitochon dna, microsomes, and supernatant fluid isolated from tissue homogenate has a characteristic nu cleotide composition (7, 8, 16), while other data did not support such a view (6). Results obtained in this laboratory revealed, in fact, the occurrence of characteristic ribonucleic acids in rat liver frac ti...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of ribonucleic acid from cerebral cortex of rat.
Ribonucleic acid isolated from cerebral cortex of mature male and female rats was fractionated by chromatography on methylated albumin Kieselguhr columns or by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Three principal fractions were obtained with analytical ultracentrifuge s~o,~ values of 4, 17, and 28. By comparison with ribonucleic acid prepared from purified rat brain ribosomes, the 17 S and 28 S fra...

hyperbasophilic and basophilic cells. Ribonucleic acid synthesis in these cells was studied 3 hours after the injection of uridine-3H. Autoradiographic data showed that ribonucleic acid syntheisis in the hyperbasophilic cells was 70 percent higher than the basophilic cells and 50 percent greater than the liver parenchyma of the control rats. A similar difference was also evident in the labeling...

The separation of liver ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid from the associated protein material without hydrolysis can be accomplished by a salt-extraction procedure described by Barnum & Huseby (1950). This method, based on ribose recovery (Lowe & Rand, 1956; C. U. Lowe & P. R. Venkataraman, in preparation), yields 80% of the total ribonucleic acid of normal liver homogenate or cell fr...
متن کاملVirus-specific ribonucleic acid in the nucleus and cytoplasm of rat embryo cells transformed by adenovirus type 2.
Nuclei were isolated from rat embryo cells transformed by adenovirus type 2. Nuclear and cytoplasmic virus-specific ribonucleic acids (RNA) were characterized and quantitated by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-RNA hybrid formation with adenovirus DNA. The results indicate that most, if not all, virus-specific RNA molecules are synthesized in the cell nucleus and subsequently transported into cytopl...
