Accumulation in S.cerevisiae of
polyadenylated forms of hTR and of polyA– mature
TLC1 does not require the presence of Nhp2p. The GAL::nhp2 strain transformed
with phTR was grown in galactose-containing medium (lanes 1–3)
and was then transferred to glucose-containing medium for 12, 24,
48 and 72 h. Culture samples were collected from which total RNAs
were extracted (Tot). Samples of the total RNA preparations were
incubated with biotinylated oligo(dT) and polyadenylated RNAs were
precipitated using streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. RNAs were
recovered from the supernatants (polyA–) or
the pellets (polyA+). All RNAs were separated
on a 6% polyacrylamide gel, transferred to a nylon membrane
and hybridized with antisense oligonucleotide probes detecting TLC1,
hTR, snR37 or U3 RNA.
