1. Steady-state poly(A)-containing nuclear RNA was isolated from the lactating guinea-pig mammary gland and analysed by sucrose-gradient centrifugation under denaturing conditions. 2. Nucleic acid-hybridization studies demonstrated the presence of small amounts of high-molecular-weight RNA species containing milk-protein mRNA sequences sedimenting at 25S. These were not found in the post-nuclear supernatant, where milk-protein sequences sedimented only between 12S and 15S; these were also the predominant species in the nuclear fraction. 3. The results are consistent with the transcription of milk-protein genes as high-molecular-weight precursor RNA species, 3-4 times as large as the active mRNA species isolated from the post-nuclear fraction.

Haemoglobin mRNA isolated from EDTA-treated polyribosomes has an apparent molecular weight of 120000–180000 estimated by condensation with 3H-labelled isoniazid after periodate oxidation. Analysis of the ribonuclease digests of isoniazid-labelled RNA by paper electrophoresis and column chromatography enables the amount of contaminating 18S, 7S, 5S and 4S RNA to be estimated, and a corrected molecular weight of globin mRNA as the acid is 161000 or 500 nucleotides in length. This molecule contains two groups of 3′-terminal sequences in equal yield; G-Y-A6 and G-Y-A7 in the ratio 3:2, and G-N9–16-Y-A2 and G-N9–16-Y-N3 in the ratio 3:2. The significance of these sequences is discussed in relation to the poly(A) content of globin mRNA, the specificity of the sequences, and possible function in processing and biosynthesis of mRNA.

cDNA (complementary DNA) complementary to the abundant sequences of mRNA isolated from oestrogen-stimulated uterus was hybridized to polyadenylated and non-polyadenylated uterine hnRNA (heterogeneous nuclear RNA). High-molecular-weight polyadenylated hnRNA, isolated under denaturing conditions, was able to saturate the cDNA, but complementary sequences were low abundance when compared with homologous mRNA. The mRNA sequence content of the polyadenylated hnRNA increased considerably during oestrogen-induced growth of the uterus. Non-polyadenylated hnRNA also contained sequences complementary to the cDNA.

The 3′ hydroxyl end of 28S L-rRNA (major RNA species of the larger subribosomal particle) was labelled by coupling its 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid hydrazine with diazotized [3H]aniline. The RNA was hydrolysed partially with ribonuclease T1 and fractionated on Sephadex G-200. The results show that a highly structured segment with 78% G+C content and a number-average molecular weight of at least 1.0×10(5)-1.8×10(5) is located at the 3′ hydroxyl end of the 28S rRNA molecule.
