Research Abstract

To study the messenger RNA structure relating on control of the rate of protein synthesis, especially in the initiation step, the method for chemical synthesis of RNA fragment was studied. 11 nucleotides long RNA fragment was obtained by phospho-truester method on solid-phase. The initiation codon A-U-G and ralated sequences were synthesized. Some of them were capped chemically. All the oligonucleotides were added with a radioisotopically labelled nucleotide [5'-^<32>P]pCp to the 3' terminus for detection of small amount of samples. Formation of the initiation complex for protein synthesis in the eukaryotic system was studied with the chemically synthesized oligonucleotides under addition of sparsomycin to prevent chain elongation. With non-capped A-U-G, the initiation complex is formed, though it is very small amount. The cap structure is required to enchance protein synthesizing activity. The leader sequences the rate further depending on its constitution.
