Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Complexes Containing Polyadenylate from Mouse Ascites Cells

Thomas J Quinlan 1, Peter B Billings 1, Terence E Martin 1
PMCID: PMC388520  PMID: 4368966

Abstract

Nuclear poly(A)-containing RNA of mouse ascites cells can be extracted in the form of 15-17S ribonucleoprotein complexes under conditions in which the bulk of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA is released as 30S complexes. The poly(A)-containing fraction of nuclear extracts has been resolved into two distinct components, 15 and 17 S; neither contains the two polypeptides of 30S ribonucleoprotein. The 17S particle contains approximately six polypeptide species of molecular masses 17,000-30,000 daltons. The 15S complex has four distinct polypeptides of higher molecular mass, including a prominent 80,000-dalton species.

Keywords: nuclear proteins, heterogeneous nuclear RNA, Millipore filter binding
