Methylated, blocked 5 termini in HeLa cell mRNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poly(A)-containing HeLa cell mRNA prepared from cells labeled with [methyl-(3)H]methionine or [(32)P]phosphate was found to contain a variety of methylated, blocked 5'-terminal structures of two general types: m(7)GpppN(7)-Np and m(7)GpppN(m)-N(m)-Np. In addition, about one-third of the [(3)H]methyl label was present in the N(6)-methyladenosine; this labeled nucleoside was not found in the 3'-terminal one-third of the mRNA chain and thus may also be in the 5' portion of the mRNA.

Methylated nucleotides block 5'-terminus of vaccinia virus messenger RNA.
Studies on the nature and location of the methylated nucleotides in mRNA synthesized in vitro by vaccinia virus particles revealed an unusual 5'-terminal structure. Evidence that the pyrophosphate group is blocked by 7-methylguanosine and that both 2'-O-methyl-adenosine and 2'-O-methylguanosine occupy penultimate positions was presented. According to this model, the 5'-termini of vaccinia virus...
متن کاملSuppressive Effect of Constructed shRNAs against Apollon Induces Apoptosis and Growth Inhibition in the HeLa Cell Line
Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common female cancer worldwide. Inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) block apoptosis; therefore, therapeutic strategies targeting IAPs have attracted the interest of researchers in recent years. Apollon, a member of IAPs, inhibits apoptosis and cell death. RNA interference is a pathway in which small interfering RNA (siRNA) or shRNA (short hairp...
متن کاملAdenovirus 2 early messenger RNA-genome mapping of 5'-terminal RNase T1 oligonucleotides and heterogeneity of 5'-termini.
The human adenovirus (Ad) type 2 genome (Mr = 23 X 10‘) is expressed in permissive human cells in two major stages, early and late. Early genes are organized in four major regions (El to E4) located in noncontiguous regions of the viral genome. To define the number of different 5’-termini, we have isolated, characterized, and mapped in E l to E4 the 5”terminal oligonucleotides produced by RNase...
متن کاملPartial purification of a 6-methyladenine mRNA methyltransferase which modifies internal adenine residues.
Two forms of a 6-methyladenine mRNA methyltransferase have been partially purified using a T7 transcript coding for mouse dihydrofolate reductase as an RNA substrate. Both enzyme forms modify internal adenine residues within the RNA substrate. The enzymes were purified 357- and 37-fold respectively from nuclear salt extracts prepared from HeLa cells using DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chr...
متن کاملThe methylation state of poly A-containing messenger RNA from cultured hamster cells.
The poly A-containing mRNA of cultured hamster (BHK-21) cells has been examined with regard to methylation status. Steady state-labeled mRNA was obtained by incubating cells for 20-22h in the presence of [methyl-3H]-methionine and 32Pi. The degree of methylation of this RNA was 1.8 methyl groups per 1000 nucleotides, or 4-5 methyl groups on the average per molecule. The nature of the methylated...
