In vivo inhibition of Novikoff cytoplasmic messenger RNA methylation by S-tubercidinylhomocysteine. 1977

M Kaehler, and J Coward, and F Rottman

The analogue S-tubercidinylhomocysteine (STH) has been used to study the methylation of mRNA in vivo. Partial inhibition of cytoplasmic poly(A)-RNA methylation was observed using a level of inhibitor which still permitted cell growth. Characterization of the partially methylated mRNA indicated the presence of cap structures lacking 2'-O-methylnucleosides, m7GpppN', which are normally not found in mammalian mRNA. Inhibition of additional methylated sites in mRNA at the second 2'-O-methynucleoside, and at internal N6-methyladenosine was also observed Methylation of 7-methylguanosine was not affected under the conditions used in these experiments. The methylnucleoside composition of cap structures differed in STH-inhibited and uninhibited cells. These results indicate that a completely methylated cap is not required for transport of mRNA into the cytoplasm. Furthermore, it may now be possible to assess in vivo the sequential nature of mRNA methylation and its potential role in mRNA processing.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
