Abstract
A late region deletion mutant of simian virus 40 (dl5) was previously shown to be deficient in the transport of nuclear RNA. This is a splice junction deletion that has lost the 3' end of an RNA leader, an intervening sequence, and the 5' end of the splice acceptor site on the body of the mRNA. In this report, we analyzed the steady-state structure of the untransported nuclear RNA. The 5' ends of this RNA are heterogeneous but contain a prominent 5' end at the normal position (nucleotide 325) in addition to several other prominent 5' ends not seen in wild-type RNA. The 3' end of this RNA does not occur at the usual position (nucleotide 2674) of polyadenylation; instead, this RNA is non-polyadenylated, with the 3' end occurring either downstream or upstream of the normal position.
