3'-End labeling of RNA with yeast Poly(A) polymerase and 3'-deoxyadenosine 5'-[α-32P]triphosphate
Abstract:
This protocol is used to label RNA molecules (in vitro-synthesized or in vivo-purified RNA molecules) that have free 3'-hydroxyl termini. The reaction is performed in 10 min using yeast poly(A) polymerase and 3'-deoxyadenosine 5'-[α-(32)P]triphosphate (cordycepin 5'-[α-(32)P]triphosphate), a chain-terminating nucleotide. At the end of the procedure, the reaction is desalted by gel filtration to remove any unincorporated nucleotides.

Pre-mRNA Processing: Modification of pre-mRNA Ends
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a cap to the 5' end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5' phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached (7-methyl guanosine). This 5' cap helps...

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
pre-mRNA Processing
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl...
