Mouse L-cells contain RNA capable of hybridizing with mouse satellite DNA on nitrocellulose membranes and of competing for hybridizing sites on satellite DNA with transcript of satellite DNA prepared in vitro. RNA prepared from either whole cells or from the cytoplasm includes a fraction hybridizing with satellite DNA. That from whole cells has a half-life of 17 min, whereas that from cytoplasm is stable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
