Abstract:
U4 and U6 RNAs of mammalian cells possess extensive intermolecular sequence complementarity and hence have the potential to base pair. A U4/U6 RNA complex, detectable in nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels, is released when human small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) containing U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 RNAs are dissociated with proteinase K in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The released RNA/RNA complex dissociates with increasing temperature, consistent with the existence of specific base-pairing between the two RNAs. Since U6 RNA is selectively released from intact snRNPs under the same conditions required to dissociate the U4/U6 RNA complex, the RNA-RNA interaction may be sufficient to maintain U4 and U6 RNAs in the same snRNP particle. The biological implications of these findings are discussed.
摘要:
哺乳动物细胞的U4和U6RNA具有广泛的分子间序列互补性,因此具有碱基配对的潜力。U4/U6RNA复合物,在非变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶中检测到,当含有U1,U2,U4,U5和U6RNA的人小核核糖核蛋白(snRNP)在十二烷基硫酸钠存在下用蛋白酶K解离时释放。释放的RNA/RNA复合物随着温度升高而解离,与两种RNA之间存在特定的碱基配对一致。由于U6RNA在解离U4/U6RNA复合物所需的相同条件下从完整的snRNP中选择性释放,RNA-RNA相互作用可能足以将U4和U6RNA维持在同一snRNP颗粒中。讨论了这些发现的生物学意义。
