A protein of molecular weight 78,000 bound to the polyadenylate region of eukaryotic messenger RNAs. 1973

G Blobel

Two distinct proteins were found to be tightly bound to the heterogeneous messenger RNAs associated with polysomes in mouse L cells and rat hepatocytes. The molecular weight (78,000) of the larger of these two proteins is identical to that of the protein previously found associated with rabbit globin messenger RNA. This protein is shown to be bound to the adenylate-rich region of messenger RNA. The molecular weight of the smaller protein associated with messenger RNAs from hepatic and L-cell polysomes is similar to that found in globin messenger ribonucleoprotein.

D011485	Protein Binding	The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments.	Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011506	Proteins	Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.
