Specific globin mRNAs in human erythroleukemia (K562) cells. 1984

Specific globin mRNA accumulation was quantitated in several lines of K562 cells in the absence and the presence of hemin. Using specific cloned DNA probes, the amounts of zeta, alpha, epsilon and gamma mRNAs were shown to be increased 2-3-fold in the presence of 20 microM hemin. No delta- or beta-globin mRNAs were detectable in any of the lines. In one line, Bos, there was a marked decrease in epsilon-globin mRNA, which increased with hemin, although still to much lower levels than in the other lines. The decreased epsilon-globin mRNA accumulation in Bos is shown to be due to decreased epsilon-globin gene transcription.

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.
