A study of the distribution in heterogeneous nuclear RNP (hnRNP) of the different forms of the first intervening sequence (IVSI) from the E3 transcription unit of adenovirus serotype 2 suggests a three-step pathway for IVS excision and degradation. First, the lariat IVS is formed in a large RNP of the size of premessenger RNP where it is resistant to nuclease attack. Second, the lariat IVS is released from this large structure as a small RNP where it is very susceptible to enzymic degradation. Third, the lariat IVS is linearized after the release of the small RNP. Our studies suggest that only the intact lariat and linear IVS are involved in the excision-degradation pathway in vivo, whereas the lariat nicked in its circular part and the IVS trimmed at its 3' end are not pre-existing but generated during isolation of hnRNA or hnRNP.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000260 Adenoviruses, Human Species of the genus MASTADENOVIRUS, causing a wide range of diseases in humans. Infections are mostly asymptomatic, but can be associated with diseases of the respiratory, ocular, and gastrointestinal systems. Serotypes (named with Arabic numbers) have been grouped into species designated Human adenovirus A-G. APC Viruses,APC Virus,Adenovirus, Human,Human Adenovirus,Human Adenoviruses
D012261 Ribonucleoproteins Complexes of RNA-binding proteins with ribonucleic acids (RNA). Ribonucleoprotein
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.

D014158 Transcription, Genetic The biosynthesis of RNA carried out on a template of DNA. The biosynthesis of DNA from an RNA template is called REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION. Genetic Transcription
D034441 Heterogeneous-Nuclear Ribonucleoproteins A family of ribonucleoproteins that were originally found as proteins bound to nascent RNA transcripts in the form of ribonucleoprotein particles. Although considered ribonucleoproteins they are primarily classified by their protein component. They are involved in a variety of processes such as packaging of RNA and RNA TRANSPORT within the nucleus. A subset of heterogeneous-nuclear ribonucleoproteins are involved in additional functions such as nucleocytoplasmic transport (ACTIVE TRANSPORT, CELL NUCLEUS) of RNA and mRNA stability in the CYTOPLASM.
