Ethidium bromide (EB) adsorption isotherms on 30S nuclear RNP particles isolated from liver nuclei has revealed 6% of double-stranded regions in pre-mRNA (dsRNA). It has been established by measurements of the EB fluorescence polarization that the bulk of dsRNA regions in RNP is rigidly attached to RNP. They are longer than 45 degree A. The increase of NaCl concentration from 0.1 up to 0.4 M causes a significant loosening of dsRNA-protein bonds. As a result the dsRNA segments become more flexible. Measurements of energy transfer from fluorescamine (covalently bound to the protein) to EB (adsorbed on dsRNA) have yielded information about dsRNA location. The fact that absorbtion of exciting light by fluorescamine causes pronounced increase of EB fluorescence is consistent with the idea that helical regions of RNA are located outside the RNP particles.
溴化乙锭(EB)在从肝细胞核中分离出的30S核核糖核蛋白(RNP)颗粒上的吸附等温线显示,前体信使核糖核酸(pre-mRNA,双链RNA)中双链区域占6%。通过测量EB荧光偏振确定,核糖核蛋白中大部分双链RNA区域与核糖核蛋白紧密相连。它们的长度超过45埃。氯化钠浓度从0.1M增加到0.4M会导致双链RNA与蛋白质的键显著松弛。结果,双链RNA片段变得更加灵活。对从荧光胺(共价结合到蛋白质上)到EB(吸附在双链RNA上)的能量转移测量得出了有关双链RNA位置的信息。荧光胺吸收激发光导致EB荧光显著增强这一事实与RNA螺旋区域位于核糖核蛋白颗粒外部的观点一致。
