A low molecular weight nuclear RNA from HeLa cells inhibits exogenous messenger RNA-dependent protein synthesis.
A low molecular weight RNA of nuclear origin from adenovirus-infected HeLa cells inhibited rabbit reticulocyte polyribosomal RNA-dependent cell-free protein synthesis by reducing th formation of 80 S ribosome from 40 S-mRNA complex and 60 S subunits. This inhibitor did not hybridize with intact or HindIII-digested fragments of the viral DNA. Therefore it appears to be a 5.5 S RNA of cellular origin, which binds significantly with authentic IF-M2B from rabbit reticulocytes. In all these characteristics the inhibitor appears identical to a similar 5.5 S inhibitor RNA from non-infected HeLa cells.
