5'-Terminal structure and mRNA stability.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Reovirus mRNAs with 5'terminal m7GpppGm or GpppG are more stable than mRNA containing unblocked ppG 5'-ends when injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes or incubated in cell-free protein synthesising extracts of wheat germ and mouse L cells. The greater stability of mRNA with blocked 5' termini is not dependent upon translation but seems to result from protection against 5'-exonucleolytic degradation.
