title: The modified nucleotide constituents of human prostatic cancer cell (MA-160) poly(A)-containing RNA.
abstract: Cytoplasmic poly A(+) RNA from human prostatic cancer cells grown in the presence of 32P was isolated by affinity chromatography on columns of oligo(dT)-cellulose. The RNA was digested with RNAase T2 and the products of digestion were fractionated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The resulting autoradiograms revealed the presence of many different cap groups as well as two internal modified nucleotide components. 19 different type 1 and type 2 'cap' groups were identified. The internal modified nucleotides were N6-methyl adenosine and a 2'-O-methyl nucleotide possessing an unusual modified base.
