title: Oligoadenylate is present in the mitochondrial RNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: We examined Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial RNA for polyadenylate. Using hybridization to [3H]polyuridylate as the assay for adenylate sequences, we found adenylate-rich oligonucleotides approximately 8 residues long. Longer polyadenylate was not detected. Most of the adenylate-rich sequence is associated with the large mitochondrial rRNA. The remainder is associated with the 10-12S group of transcripts.
