Replication of DNA in mammalian chromosomes. III. Size and RNA content of Okazaki fragments

Chromosoma
J H TaylorM P Kurek

Abstract

A study of sedimentation and buoyant density of Okazaki fragments from mammalian chromosomes along with electron microscopic studies indicate that fragments from about 200 to 1200 nucleotides long may have RNA segments covalently attached. The fragments in some CsCl isopycnic gradients banded in two rather distinct bands. One band corresponds to the density of single-stranded DNA, but the other has a higher buoyant density which could be conferred by a segment of RNA up to 180 nucleotides or more in length. The RNA was not removed by denaturing conditions which separated DNA strands consisting of several thousand nucleotide pairs. When the material of higher buoyant density was spread for electron microscopy under conditions which would extend single-stranded DNA chains, but leave RNA in a coil or bush the chains with a higher buoyant density usually had a bush attached at one end. Under conditions that were thought to favor gap filling over chain elongation near growing forks, the DNA produced by pulse labeling with bromodeoxyuridine had a buoyant density which would indicate substitution to about 15 percent in one chain. If this substitution represents filling of gaps occupied by RNA before the pulse, the segments would be ab...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
