The distribution of the sequences coding for ceruloplasmin (CP) in rat liver heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) was studied using highly specific CP cDNA as a hybridization probe. The content of CP-coding sequences in poly(A)-containing and poly(A)-free subfractions of hnRNA was shown to be respectively 1 and 27 equivalents of CP mRNA molecule per one hepatocyte. The gel electrophoresis of hnRNA under strongly denaturing conditions with the subsequent transfer of RNA to diazobenzyloxymethyl paper and hybridization with [32P]-cDNA probe showed that CP mRNA sequences were of multiple molecular weight distribution. In particular, 9.0, 6.6, 2.4 and 1.6 megadalton fractions of non-polyadenylate hnRNA carried CP-coding sequences while the only hand that hybridized to CP cDNA was detected in polyadenylated hnRNA. This band was of a molecular weight 1.1-1.2 megadaltons corresponding to that of cytoplasmic CP mRNA. The hybridization of high molecular weight hnRNA with full-length CP cDNA followed by the determination of the size of cDNA fragments protected against SI nuclease demonstrated that coding sequences of CP pre-mRNA are interrupted by intervening sequences.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
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.

D011061 Poly A A group of adenine ribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each adenine ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties. Adenine Polynucleotides,Polyadenylic Acids,Poly(rA),Polynucleotides, Adenine
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

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

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.
