[Globin-coding sequences in the nuclear 28S pre-mRNA and in the cytoplasmic RNA of pigeon erythroid cells].

The steady-state content of globin-coding sequences in nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA of pigeon erythroid cells was estimated by hybridization in the excess of nuclear 28S RNA and cytoplasmic poly(A) + RNA with [3H]DNA, synthesized on globin mRNA. Sequences of 9S globin mRNA are found in 0.06% of molecules of non-ribosomal 28S nuclear RNA (pre-mRNA) of erythroblasts and in 0.5% of molecules of non-ribosomal 28S nuclear RNA of reticulocytes. The content of globin mRNA in erythroblast cytoplasm is, respectively lower than in that of reticulocytes.
