چکیده

Messenger RNA from HeLa cells contains, as part of the polynucleotide chain, RNase-resistant sequences that are labeled by adenosine but not by uridine. Heterogeneous nuclear RNA also contains adenylate-rich RNase-resistant regions, but in lower proportion than messenger RNA. Hybridization to DNA of (32)P-labeled messenger RNA reveals that some of the adenylate-rich region is included in the rapidly-hybridizing fraction.

Double-stranded regions in heterogeneous nuclear RNA from Hela cells.

Heterogeneous nuclear RNA from HeLa cells contains double-stranded regions that arise by base pairing of complementary sequences that exist as parts of the same molecule (intramolecular base pairing). When denatured, the RNA sequences that form the double-stranded regions hybridize rapidly to HeLa cell DNA, suggesting that they are transcribed from reiterated sites in the genome. The messenger ...

Distribution of repetitive and nonrepetivite sequence transcripts in HeLa mRNA.

Polyadenylated messenger RNA extracted from HeLa cells was hybridized with a mass excess of HeLa DNA. The kinetics of the hybridization reaction demonstrated that most of the messenger RNA is transcribed from nonrepetitive DNA. The amount of messenger RNA hybridized to DNA was measured both with and without prior RNase treatment. Comparison of the results indicates that within the limits of det...

Effect of Matrigel on Function and Morphology of Human Endometrial Epithelial Cell in vitro

The importance of extra cellular matrix (ECM) in development and function of different cells has been reported but little is known about its role in human endometrial epithelial cells. The aim of the present study was to examine effects of artificial ECM (Matrigel) and progesterone on the function and morphology of human endometrial epithelial cells in vitro. Methods: Endometrial samples were ...

Polyadenylic acid sequences in the heterogeneous nuclear RNA and rapidly-labeled polyribosomal RNA of HeLa cells: possible evidence for a precursor relationship.

Polyadenylate sequences have been found covalently linked in heterogeneous DNA-like nuclear RNA of HeLa cells. This poly(A) material seems homogeneous in size and accounts for about 0.5% of such RNA. Similar poly(A) sequences were found in rapidly-labeled polyribosomal RNA, thought to be messenger RNA. A possible model for mRNA synthesis from large heterogeneous nuclear RNA precursor molecules ...

A Comparison between Heterogeneous Nuclear Rna and Polysomal Messenger Rna in Hela Cells by Rna-dna Hybridization

Heterogeneous nuclear RNA (HnRNA) and mRNA from cytoplasmic polyribosomes of HeLa cells have been compared by RNA-DNA hybridization tests. 1 microg of HeLa cell DNA binds 0.05-0.10 microg of either HnRNA or mRNA. In addition, HeLa DNA that is preexposed to unlabeled HnRNA was found to have a reduced capacity to bind either HnRNA or mRNA. The results are compatible with considerable sequence sim...
