In vitro synthesis of DNA complementary to rabbit reticulocyte 10S RNA.

TLDR
The following two articles describe successful syntheses in vitro of DNA copies of various mammalian globin mRNAs, using reverse transcriptase from avian myoblastosis virus, using poly(dT) sequences at their 3′-ends.
Abstract
The following two articles describe successful syntheses in vitro of DNA copies of various mammalian globin mRNAs, using reverse transcriptase from avian myoblastosis virus. Short stretches of poly(dT) greatly enhance this effect, presumably because they prime correct initiation of reverse transcription of these mRNAs by pairing with known poly (A) sequences at their 3′-ends.

Transcriptional regulation of the ovalbumin and conalbumin genes by steroid hormones in chick oviduct.

TL;DR: Relative rates of ovalbumin and conalbumin mRNA transcription were measured in isolated oviduct nuclei by allowing endogenous RNA polymerases to synthesize [32P]RNA that was then hybridized to immobilized recombinant DNA containing the respective gene sequences.

Viral RNA-dependent DNA Polymerase: RNA-dependent DNA Polymerase in Virions of RNA Tumour Viruses

TL;DR: Two independent groups of investigators have found evidence of an enzyme in virions of RNA tumour viruses which synthesizes DNA from an RNA template, apparently the classical process of information transfer from DNA to RNA can be inverted.

Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus, II. An RNA Polymerase in the Virion

TL;DR: The virions of vesicular stomatitis virus contain an enzyme that catalyzes the incorporation of ribonucleotides into RNA, and the product of the reaction is mainly RNA complementary in base sequence to that of veS virus RNA.

Adenine-rich polymer associated with rabbit reticulocyte messenger RNA.

L Lim, +1 more
- 15 Aug 1970 - 
TL;DR: The isolation of an adenine-rich polymer from purified messenger RNA obtained from rabbit reticulocyte polysomes is described and its relationship to the size of the ribosomes from which the messenger RNA is derived is described.
