[Effect of low-molecular nuclear RNA on RNA synthesis in isolated nuclei]. 1978

A P Kozlov, and A Z Pliusnin, and V I Evtushenko, and I F Seĭts

An attempt was made to elucidate possible participation of low molecular weight nuclear RNA's (LMWN RNA's) in the transcription process. For this purpose, we studied the effect of individual fractions of LMWN RNA's, isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, on the endogenous RNA synthesis in isolated nuclei. We have found no influence of LMWN RNA's on the incorporation of labeled precursors in the acid-insoluble material under the conditions when RNA polymerase I is predominantly active. The results obtained thus indicate that LMWN RNA's do not participate in the regulation of 45S pre-rRNA synthesis and they do not belong to limiting factors in pre-rRNA synthesis.

D009994	Osmolar Concentration	The concentration of osmotically active particles in solution expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per liter of solution. Osmolality is expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

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
D002474	Cell-Free System	A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012313	RNA	A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
