Mapping of adenovirus messenger RNA by electron microscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Late adenovirus messenger RNA was annealed to complementary regions of partially melted viral double-stranded DNA. The RNA. DNA hybrid regions within the DNA molecules were visualized as loops in the electron microscope. Loops occurred at several regions of the DNA, most frequently, however, at a location near the center of the molecule. This hybridization technique appears well suited for an accurate mapping of messenger RNA, as well as for studies of RNA processing.

Spliced segments at the 5' terminus of adenovirus 2 late mRNA. 1977.
An mRNA fraction coding for hexon polypeptide, the major virion structural protein, was purified by gel electrophoresis from extracts of adenovirus 2-infected cells late in the lytic cycle. The mRNA sequences in this fraction were mapped between 51.7 and 61.3 units on the genome by visualizing RNA-DNA hybrids in the electron microscope. When hybrids of hexon mRNA and single-stranded restriction...
متن کاملCell-free translation of highly purified adenovirus messenger RNA.
Several polypeptides contained in the coat and the core of adenovirus type 2 particles have been identified as virus gene products. They are synthesized in vitro by a cell-free protein-making system programmed by adenovirus type 2 messenger RNA that has been hybridized with and eluted from virus DNA. Fractionation by size yields subpopulations of viral messenger RNA that differ in their coding ...
متن کاملCleavage of adenovirus messenger RNA and of 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA by RNase III.
Escherichia coli ribonuclease III cleaves adenovirus messenger RNA and mammalian 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA. Fragmentation is not random, but in each case a specific collection of products is generated. This points to the potential use of the enzyme as a tool for specific fragmentation of RNA. Cleavage by RNase III abolishes the capability of adenovirus messenger RNA to direct cell-free synthesi...
متن کاملAn electron microscopic method for the mapping of proteins attached to nucleic acids.
An electron microscopic method for demonstrating the presence of and mapping the positions of proteins specifically bound to nucleic acids is described. The nucleic acid-protein complex is treated with dinitrofluorobenzene under conditions such that dinitrophenyl (DNP) groups are attached to nucleophilic groups on the protein, with only a low level of random attachment to the nuclei acid. This ...
متن کاملViral RNA polymerases: electron microscopy of reovirus reaction cores.
The Kleinschmidt technique has been used to observe reovirus cores that have synthesized messenger RNA. Some individual viral cores probably synthesize all ten messenger RNA molecules in vitro. Each messenger RNA molecule appears to be attached to a different site on the core surface, implying that there are probably a number of different enzymic sites in each core.
