In vitro iodination of plant ribonucleic acids.

چکیده
The optimum conditions for in vitro iodination of RNAs have been established which yield specific radioactivities ranging from 10 x 10(4) to 10 x 10(6) cpm/mug. A nomogram has been constructed by correlating specific radioactivities of RNA with concentration of KI, RNA, and (125)I. This nomogram can be used to determine the conditions for the desired specific radioactivities for any unknown RNA. The in vitro iodinated RNA has been compared with in vivo labeled RNA for hybridization characteristics. Competition hybridization between (125)I-labeled chloroplast-rRNA and unlabeled pea (Pisum sativum) chloroplast-rRNA was identical to that found using [(32)P]chloroplast-rRNA. Thermal stability of DNA-(125)I-rRNA hybrids was similar to the thermal stability of DNA-[(32)P]rRNA hybrids. The iodinated RNA was not found to have undergone any changes in its hydrogen-bonding properties.

Enhanced production of valerenic acids and valepotriates by in vitro cultures of Valeriana officinalis L.
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) is an important medicinal plant that is widely exploited for its roots and rhizomes which contain valepotriates and valerenic acids (with putative pharmacological activities). Thus root proliferation of valerian is very important. The aim of this study was to establish a practical tissue culture method for rapid and large-scale induction of V. officinalis L. ...

Iodine monochloride, labeled with 1z51, iodinated ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid dissolved as hexadecyltrimethylammonium salts in anhydrous dimethylformamide or N-ethyl acetamide. In the case of RNA (polyuridylate, polycytidylate, and soluble RNA) 5-iodouridine S/-phosphate, 8-iodoguanosine 5’-phosphate, and 5-iodocytidine 5’-phosphate are found. After 24 hours of reaction, 32% of U...

During diabetes mellitus, total proteins and ribonucleic acids are significantly decreased in the rat heart, and these parameters can be increased by insulin administration. To determine whether all ribonucleic acids are equally sensitive to insulin, we examined the influence of this hormone on individual translatable ribonucleic acids. Cardiac ribonucleic acid prepared from control, untreated,...
