The sequence organization of the beta-globin mRNA precursor has been determined directly by analyzing the resistant fragments from the RNase A digestion of the precursor RNA-globin cDNA hybrid. Three fragments are obtained which proves that the beta-globin mRNA sequence in its precursor is split into three discontinuous segments. The two intervening sequences in the beta-globin gene are therefore transcribed and removed during mRNA maturation.
通过分析β-珠蛋白mRNA前体RNA与珠蛋白cDNA杂交体经核糖核酸酶A消化后的抗性片段,直接确定了β-珠蛋白mRNA前体的序列组织。获得了三个片段,这证明其前体中的β-珠蛋白mRNA序列被分割成三个不连续的片段。因此,β-珠蛋白基因中的两个间隔序列在mRNA成熟过程中被转录并去除。
