    This study details methods for RNA sequencing using radioactive phosphorus (32P) labeling. These techniques enable the determination of RNA sequences, including transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs).

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Biochemistry
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Accurate RNA sequencing is crucial for understanding gene expression and function.
    • Previous methods for RNA sequence determination were often limited in scope or efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe versatile in vitro 32P-labeling techniques for comprehensive RNA sequence analysis.
    • To present a novel RNA sequencing approach based on partial alkaline cleavage for tRNA analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized 5'- and 3'- end labeling of RNA and oligonucleotides with 32P.
    • Employed enzymatic (T1 RNase, pancreatic RNase, nuclease P1) and chemical methods for RNA digestion and analysis.
    • Developed a strategy involving partial alkaline cleavage and 5'-end labeling for sequencing tRNA molecules.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully derived sequences for various RNAs, including tRNAs, ribosomal RNAs (5S and 5x8S), and a viroid RNA.
    • Determined sequences of large segments from prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomal and messenger RNAs.
    • Demonstrated the utility of 32P-labeling in conjunction with enzymatic and chemical degradation for sequence elucidation.

    Conclusions:

    • The described 32P-labeling and sequencing methodologies provide powerful tools for RNA sequence determination.
    • These methods are applicable to a wide range of RNA types, from small RNAs to large ribosomal and messenger RNAs.
    • The partial alkaline cleavage approach offers an effective means for sequencing transfer RNAs (tRNAs).
