Cap analogs m7GMP and m7GDP inhibit binding of eukaryotic initiation factors to reovirus capped mRNA but also inhibit complex formation involving uncapped mRNA or 18 S rRNA. Furthermore, Escherichia coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase binds 18 S rRNA and this interaction is also blocked by m7GMP. These results indicate that inhibition by cap analogs is not a stringent test for putative cap-specific binding between proteins and mRNA.
帽类似物m7GMP和m7GDP可抑制真核起始因子与呼肠孤病毒加帽mRNA的结合,但也会抑制涉及未加帽mRNA或18S rRNA的复合物形成。此外,大肠杆菌DNA依赖性RNA聚合酶可结合18S rRNA,这种相互作用也会被m7GMP阻断。这些结果表明,帽类似物的抑制作用并非对蛋白质与mRNA之间假定的帽特异性结合的严格测试。
