[Intracellular distribution of RNA in Acetabularia mediterranea]. 1976

L P Naumova, and E K Pressman, and L S Sandakhchiev

RNA synthesis and distribution in cytoplasm of Acetabularia mediterranea cell were studied by radiochemical and ultramicrobiochemical methods. Existance of an apico-basal gradient of RNA concentration in the cytoplasm was shown. Variations in the rate of the RNA synthesis in different regions of the cytoplasm are of great importance for the formation of this gradient whereas a contribution of nuclear RNA transport is insignificant. Sedimentation coefficients of about 23S and 16S were detected for the most part of the synthesized cytoplasmic RNAs. Evidently these RNAs represent rRNA of chloroplast ribosomes. Basal region of cytoplasm contains a relatively large amount of low molecular weight RNA. The differences in stability of newly-synthesized RNA were found in cytoplasmic regions under examination.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002499 Centrifugation, Density Gradient Separation of particles according to density by employing a gradient of varying densities. At equilibrium each particle settles in the gradient at a point equal to its density. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Centrifugations, Density Gradient,Density Gradient Centrifugation,Density Gradient Centrifugations,Gradient Centrifugation, Density,Gradient Centrifugations, Density
D004589 Electrophoresis, Disc Electrophoresis in which discontinuities in both the voltage and pH gradients are introduced by using buffers of different composition and pH in the different parts of the gel column. The term 'disc' was originally used as an abbreviation for 'discontinuous' referring to the buffers employed, and does not have anything to do with the shape of the separated zones. Electrophoresis, Disk,Disc Electrophoresis,Disk Electrophoresis
D000076 Acetabularia A genus of green algae found in the Mediterranean and other warm seas. Acetabularias
D000460 Chlorophyta A phylum of photosynthetic EUKARYOTA bearing double membrane-bound plastids containing chlorophyll a and b. They comprise the classical green algae, and represent over 7000 species that live in a variety of primarily aquatic habitats. Only about ten percent are marine species, most live in freshwater. Algae, Green,Chlorophytina,Green Algae
D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments. Transport, Biological,Biologic Transport,Transport, Biologic
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. (Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed) RNA, Non-Polyadenylated,Ribonucleic Acid,Gene Products, RNA,Non-Polyadenylated RNA,Acid, Ribonucleic,Non Polyadenylated RNA,RNA Gene Products,RNA, Non Polyadenylated
D014529 Uridine A ribonucleoside in which RIBOSE is linked to URACIL. Allo-Uridine,Allouridine,Allo Uridine
