A Protein of Molecular Weight 78,000 Bound to the Polyadenylate Region of Eukaryotic Messenger RNAs

Open access
Blobel, Günter·1973·Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Two distinct proteins were found to be tightly bound to the heterogeneous messenger RNAs associated with polysomes in mouse L cells and rat hepatocytes. The molecular weight (78,000) of the larger of these two proteins is identical to that of the protein previously found associated with rabbit globin messenger RNA. This protein is shown to be bound to the adenylate-rich region of messenger RNA. The molecular weight of the smaller protein associated with messenger RNAs from hepatic and L-cell polysomes is similar to that found in globin messenger ribonucleoprotein.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
