Polyadenylic Acid Sequences: Role in Conversion of Nuclear RNA into Messenger RNA

Darnell, J. E., Philipson, L., Wall, R., Adesnik, M.·1971·Science

Abstract

Polyadenylic acid [poly(A)] segments containing 150 to 250 nucleotides appear to be covalently linked to heterogeneous nuclear RNA (HnRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) in eucaryotic cells. The poly(A) is synthesized in the nucleus, and is probably linked initially to HnRNA that is ultimately transported as mRNA to the cytoplasm. Studies with inhibitors of RNA or poly(A) synthesis indicate that synthesis of poly(A) segments is independent of transcription. The poly(A) marker may prove useful to elucidate mRNA modification and transport in eucaryotic cells.

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.
