The proportion of hnRNA processed into cytoplasmic mRNA in resting and growing 3T3 and 3T6 cells has been investigated by measuring the efficiency of transfer of nuclear poly(A) to the cytoplasm. When nuclear poly(A) is either labeled continuously with precursor or pulse labeled and then chased with cordycepin, growing cells transfer approximately twice as much of the poly(A) from the nucleus to the cytoplasm as do resting cells. When cells undergo a serum-induced transition from the resting to growing state, the efficiency of poly(A) transfer is increased to that characteristic of growing cells by 3 hr after the addition of the serum. On the other hand, the proportion of hnRNA which is polyadenylated and the total nuclear poly(A) content are the same in resting and growing cells. It appears that the principal means by which the cell regulates its poly(A)+ mRNA content in the growing and resting states is by regulating the efficiency which nuclear poly(A)+ RNA is converted to cytoplasmic mRNA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007042 Hypoxanthines Purine bases related to hypoxanthine, an intermediate product of uric acid synthesis and a breakdown product of adenine catabolism.
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
