The 5'-terminal leader sequence of late 16 S mRNA from cells infected with simian virus 40. 1978

P K Ghosh, and V B Reddy, and J Swinscoe, and P V Choudary, and P Lebowitz, and S M Weissman

The 16 S mRNA that directs the synthesis of VP1, the major structural protein of Simian virus 40 (SV40), is composed of a leader sequence of 203 nucleotides joined to a transcript that contains all the codons for VP1. The leader is transcribed from DNA between 0.723 and 0.762 map units while the VP1 coding transcript is copied from DNA from 0.94 to 0.17 map units. The leader sequence joins the transcript of the coding region at a position 42 nucleotides upstream from the initiator codon for VP1 by a 3':5'-phosphodiester linkage. Longer leader sequences also occur in a portion of SV40 late mRNA.

D009690 Nucleic Acid Conformation The spatial arrangement of the atoms of a nucleic acid or polynucleotide that results in its characteristic 3-dimensional shape. DNA Conformation,RNA Conformation,Conformation, DNA,Conformation, Nucleic Acid,Conformation, RNA,Conformations, DNA,Conformations, Nucleic Acid,Conformations, RNA,DNA Conformations,Nucleic Acid Conformations,RNA Conformations
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.

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.
