Rodent brain has been reported to contain a fraction of non-polyadenylated (poly(A)-) mRNA that includes about 100,000 different sequences, most of which are not found in the poly(A)+ fraction. We have prepared a cDNA library of low-abundance poly(A)- RNAs from rat brain polysomes, and have characterized three clones in detail. Two of the clones hybridize on Northern blots to poly(A)+ RNAs from brain. Dot blot hybridization and RNase protection assays demonstrate that although the bulk of the RNA complementary to these clones is present in the poly(A)- fraction, a small portion (7-21%) is present in the poly(A)+ fraction. Our results suggest that the poly(A)-mRNA fraction from rat brain may not contain sequences that are different from those in the poly(A)+ fraction.
据报道,啮齿动物大脑中含有一部分非聚腺苷酸化(poly(A)-)mRNA,其包含约100,000种不同序列,其中大部分在聚腺苷酸化(poly(A)+)部分中未发现。我们从大鼠脑多核糖体中制备了低丰度poly(A)- RNA的cDNA文库,并详细鉴定了三个克隆。其中两个克隆在Northern印迹上与来自大脑的poly(A)+ RNA杂交。斑点印迹杂交和核糖核酸酶保护试验表明,虽然与这些克隆互补的大部分RNA存在于poly(A)-部分中,但一小部分(7-21%)存在于poly(A)+部分中。我们的结果表明,大鼠脑的poly(A)-mRNA部分可能不包含与poly(A)+部分不同的序列。
