Some characteristic peculiarities of the 5'-end and 3'-end structures of pre-mRNA isolated from nuclear RNP particles have been investigated: presence of triphosphorylated nucleotides on the 5'-ends, as a characteristic of the primary product of transcription; presence of modified 5'-ends -- blocked and methylated structures -- caps; presence of poly(A) blocks attached to the 3'-end of pre-mRNA during post-transcriptional transformation of the latter. It was shown that pre-mRNA isolated from nuclear RNP particles contained triphosphorylated nucleotides as well as a "cap" structure at the 5'-ends. On the 3'-ends of pre-mRNA from nuclear RNP particles isolated in the presence of a RNAse inhibitor, the presence of poly(A) blocks have been shown.
