In HeLa cells the "small nuclear" RNA has a cap II 5' structure (8)-- m32,2,7G(5') pppXmpYmp-- where X and Y are 2'0 methylated adenosine and uridine. In contrast hnRNA contains only cap I structures were the 2'0 methylated residue may be any base as was earlier reported for cytoplasmic mRNA (8,9,11). With a clear distinction between the source of these two caps an analysis of the size distribution of capped hnRNA could be performed which revealed over 65% of the capped hnRNA molecules were larger than cytoplasmic mRNA.
在海拉细胞中,“小核”RNA具有帽II 5'结构(8)——m32,2,7G(5') pppXmpYmp——其中X和Y分别是2'-O-甲基化腺苷和尿苷。相比之下,核内不均一RNA仅含有帽I结构,其中2'-O-甲基化残基可以是任何碱基,这与之前关于细胞质mRNA的报道一致(8,9,11)。由于这两种帽的来源有明显区别,因此可以对加帽核内不均一RNA的大小分布进行分析,结果显示超过65%的加帽核内不均一RNA分子比细胞质mRNA大。
