The 5'-end structure of potato virus X RNA was determined following enzymatic methylation in vitro. A single 3H-methyl group was introduced into the 2'-position of the 5'-penultimate residue and the end structure was determined as m7GpppG(m)pAp(Xp)3G. This part of the RNA apparently is involved in binding to ribosomes since it can be partially protected against RNase digestion by wheat germ 40S ribosomes. PVX RNA was not retained by poly(U)-sepharose, indicating that it does not contain a 3'-terminal poly(A) tract.
通过体外酶促甲基化确定了马铃薯X病毒RNA的5'-末端结构。在5'-倒数第二个残基的2'-位置引入了单个3H-甲基基团,末端结构确定为m7GpppG(m)pAp(Xp)3G。RNA的这一部分显然参与与核糖体的结合,因为它可以被小麦胚芽40S核糖体部分保护免受核糖核酸酶消化。聚尿苷琼脂糖不能保留PVX RNA,表明它不含有3'-末端聚腺苷酸序列。
