Popis: | Nuclear RNA from Chinese hamster ovary cells was effectively separated into polyadenylic acid [poly(A)]-containing [poly (A)+] and non-poly(A)-containing [poly(A)−] fractions so that ∼90% of the poly(A) was present in the (A)+fraction. Only 25% of the 5′-terminal caps of the large nuclear molecules were present in the (A)+class, but about 70% of the specific mRNA sequences (assayed with cDNA clones) were in the (A)+class. It appears that many long capped heterogeneous nuclear RNA molecules are of a different sequence category from those molecules that are successfully processed into mRNA. |
