Hybridisation of cDNA probes for abundant and rare polysomal polyadenylated RNAs with polyadenylated and non-polyadenylated nuclear RNA from Friend cells indicated that the abundant polysomal polyadenylated RNA sequences were present at a higher concentration in the nucleus than rare polysomal sequences, but at a reduced range of concentrations. The ratio of the concentrations of abundant and rare sequences was about 3 in non-polyadenylated nuclear RNA, 9 in polyadenylated nuclear RNA and 13 in polysomal polyadenylated RNA. This suggests that polyadenylation may play a role in the quantitative selection of sequences for transport to the cytoplasm. Polyadenylation cannot be the only signal for transport, since a highly complex population of nucleus-confined polyadenylated molecules exists, each of which is present on average at less than one copy per cell.
用来自Friend细胞的多聚腺苷酸化和非多聚腺苷酸化核RNA,对丰富和稀少的多核糖体多聚腺苷酸化RNA的cDNA探针进行杂交,结果表明,丰富的多核糖体多聚腺苷酸化RNA序列在细胞核中的浓度高于稀少的多核糖体序列,但浓度范围有所降低。丰富和稀少序列的浓度比在非多聚腺苷酸化核RNA中约为3,在多聚腺苷酸化核RNA中约为9,在多核糖体多聚腺苷酸化RNA中约为13。这表明多聚腺苷酸化可能在序列向细胞质转运的定量选择中起作用。多聚腺苷酸化不可能是转运的唯一信号,因为存在大量高度复杂的细胞核内多聚腺苷酸化分子群体,每个细胞中平均每个分子的拷贝数不到一个。
