hMTr1 and hMTr2 act on the U1 and U2 snRNAs in vitro. In vitro transcribed U1 and U2 snRNA molecules with 32P-labeled cap0 (A and C) or cap01 (B and D) structures were incubated with one of the indicated enzymes, added in the order indicated and SAM. After every modification step RNA was purified by phenol/chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. Final products were fragmented with nuclease P1 (A and C) or RNase T2 (B and D). Digestion products were resolved on 21% polyacrylamide/8 M urea gels and visualized by autoradiography. Cap structures modified with VMT (A and C) or TbMTr2 (B and D) were used as positive controls. Asterisks indicate positions of 32P-labeled phosphates.
