Isolation of RNA with Properties of Messenger RNA from Cerebral Polyribosomes

Isolation of RNA with properties of messenger RNA from cerebral polyribosomes.

RNA which dissociated from purified cerebral polyribosomes of adult rats in the presence of EDTA was isolated by fractionation in a discontinuous sucrose gradient. The yield was 2% of the total polyribosomal RNA. The base composition resembled the complementary values for rat DNA and was very different from base compositions of ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA. This RNA fraction contained a large...

Isolation and characterization of collagen messenger RNA*.

Chick embryo collagen-synthesizing polysomes were isolated by differential centrifugation. RNA extracted from these particles was chromatographed in oligo(dT)-cellulose solumns and the mRNA thus obtained characterized as collagen mRNA by its electrophoetical mobility in acrylamide gels (equivalent to 1.05 x 10-6 daltons) and its effect upon a cell-free system derived from Krebs ascites tumor c...

Isolation of rat liver albumin messenger RNA.

Rat liver albumin messenger RNA has been purified to apparent homogeneity by means of polysome immunoprecipitation and poly(U)-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Specific polysomes synthesizing albumin were separated from total liver polysomes through a double antibody technique which allowed isolation of a specific immunoprecipitate. The albumin-polysome immunoprecipitate was dissolved in dete...
