Characteristics of RNA degradation in the erythroid cell

  • Text
  • PDF
Abstract

The characteristics of ribonucleic acid (RNA) degradation in intact reticulocytes have been investigated. The rate of degradation during in vitro maturation at 37°C is approximately 4% per hr. RNA degradation does not proceed at 0°C, and the rate of degradation is temperature dependent with an optimum at 50°C. The process is not dependent upon glycolysis. Although all types of RNA progressively decrease during in vivo maturation, ribosomes are degraded at a rate greater than that of soluble RNA.

Citation information
This citation data is accumulated from CrossRef, which receives citation information from participating publishers, including this journal. Not all publishers participate in CrossRef, so this information is not comprehensive. Additionally, data may not reflect the most current citations to this article, and the data may differ from citation information available from other sources (for example, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus).
