Ribosome-dependent conversion of polyA-containing heterogenous nuclear RNA into smaller RNA molecules

Department of Biochemistry, Oncological Institute 180 00 Prague, Czechoslovakia
Received March 21, 1975. The polyA-containing heterogenous nuclear RNA fraction separated from total rat liver nRNA by gel filtration on Sepharose 4B followed by affinity chromatography on polyU- Sepharose and containing predominantly the 45S components becomes enzymatically bound to homologous 80S ribosomes and polyribosomes at 0 C. If 80S ribosomes or polyribosomes with bound polyA-containing HnRNA are subjected to a further incubation at 37°C, the original 45S RNA is gradually converted into smaller RNA species of 10 35S which remain bound to the particle. This ribosome-dependent cleavage of larger HnRNA species into smaller RNA molecules may represent the ultimate step of mRNA maturation.
