Characterization of uterine heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleic acid and the effect of oestradiol-17 beta on its synthesis

S Aziz et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

An early response to the administration of oestradiol-17 beta to immature rats is a dramatic stimulation in the synthesis of uterine hnRNA (heterogenous nuclear RNA). High-molecular-weight fractions of the hnRNA were purified and subfractionated on poly(U)-Sepharose into fractions that differed in their poly(A) content and their size profile on polyacrylamide gels. Oestrogen treatment of the rats stimulated the synthesis of all three fractions of high-molecular-weight hnRNA, but the kinetics of synthesis, degree of stimulation and size distribution of the newly synthesize RNA differed in each fraction.
