Title: Oligo(A) not coded by DNA generating 3'-terminal heterogeneity in a lambda phage RNA. Author: Smith GR, Hedgpeth J. Journal: J Biol Chem; 1975 Jun 25; 250(12):4818-21. PubMed ID: 167007. Abstract: An RNA species from Escherichia coli infected with phage lambda was purified by hybridization to lambda 1-strand DNA and shown to have variable length. This variability was due to a variable number of adenylate residues attached to the 3' end of the molecule. Pancreatic RNase treatment of the RNA-DNA hybrid removed the 3'-terminal adenylate residues, generating a homogeneous RNA molecule terminating with -Up. The results indicate the presence of adenylate residues not coded by the DNA template at the terminus of this transcript from intact cells.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
