  • Title: Nucleoside triphosphate termini from RNA synthesized in vivo by Escherichia coli.
    Author: Jorgensen SE, Buch LB, Nierlich DP.
    Journal: Science; 1969 May 30; 164(3883):1067-70. PubMed ID: 4890175.
    Abstract:
    Alkaline hydrolyzates of RNA made in vivo by Escherichia coli contain ribonucleoside-3'-monophosphate-5'-triphosphates. These probably arise by hydrolysis of the initial nucleoside triphosphate from the 5' terminus of the nascent RNA chains. Logarithmically growing cultures, labeled for 45 seconds with (32)P-labeled phosphate, yield about 2000 molecules of labeled tetraphosphate per cell, this yield increasing only slightly with continued labeling. Only the tetraphosphates of adenosine and guanosine have been found in Escherichia coli, and these two are present in approximately equal amounts.
