RESUMO
Precursor RNA containing the adenovirus L3 polyadenylation site is assembled into a 50S complex upon incubation with HeLa nuclear extract at 30 degrees C. The cofactor and sequence requirements for 50S complex formation are similar to those of the in vitro polyadenylation reaction. Assembly of this complex requires ATP but is not dependent upon synthesis of a poly(A) tract. In addition, a 50S complex does not form on substrate RNA in which the AAUAAA hexanucleotide upstream of the poly(A) site has been mutated to AAGAAA or on RNA in which sequences between +5 and +48 nucleotides downstream of the site have been removed. These mutations also prevent in vitro processing of substrate RNA. Kinetic studies suggest that the 50S complex is an intermediate in the polyadenylation reaction. It forms at an early stage in the reaction and at later times contains both poly(A)+ RNA as well as unreacted precursor. U-type small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles are components of the 50S complex, as shown by immunoprecipitation with antiserum specific to the trimethyl cap of these small nuclear RNAs.
