RESUMO
In vitro synthesized 5' portions of mouse 18S rRNA are cleaved efficiently at a specific site in partially purified extracts of mouse FM3A cells and several mouse tissues. This activity is composed of both protein and RNA, and can be reconstituted with the protein component in micrococcal nuclease-treated extracts and the RNA component in phenol-treated ones. The RNA component of about 65 nucleotides with the complementing activity was purified from total RNA in the partially purified FM3A cell extracts by polyacrylamide gel electrophoreses. Chemical sequencing of this RNA elucidated that it is tRNAArg lacking nine nucleotides from its 3' terminus. Ribonuclease H treatment directed by deoxyoligonucleotides complementary to tRNAArg completely abolishes the cleavage activity, supporting the above conclusion.
