title: [A new class of small RNP (alpha-RNP) containing antisense RNA in K-562 cells. IV. The coordinated regulation of the expression of Alu-containing mRNA and alpha-RNA during differentiation].
abstract: Small alpha-RNP of K-562 cells contain a small RNA as an RNA component, this RNA is homologous to Alu-repeating sequences of human DNA. When cells are exposed to dimethylsulfoxide, an agent inducing cell differentiation along the erythroid pathway, the content of both high-molecular-weight (heterogeneous nuclear and messenger) RNA enriched with Alu repeats and low-molecular-weight specific RNA, small Alu-homologous alpha-RNA undergoes a coordinated decrease. Using the technique of northern blot hybridization, we have demonstrated nonuniform distribution of Alu repeats both in the fraction of total low-molecular-weight RNA of the cytoplasm as well as in the fraction of messenger RNA. It is proposed that alpha-RNA (alpha-RNP) participates in the control of expression of non-linked Alu-containing genes.
