The ability of the enzyme to bind to concanavalin A-agarose and to be eluted from the column with methyl aD-mannopyranoside (0.2 M) as well as the inhibitory effects of a-mannosidase suggested that it was a glycoprotein. Poly (A) polymerase has an absolute requirement for a divalent cation, ATP, and an oligonucleotide primer. The enzyme activitywith Mn2+ was about 20-fold higher than thatwith Mg2+. Several known inhibitors adversely affected poly (A) polymerase activity. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 64 000 when analyzedby polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions and has a sedimentation coefficient of 4.5 S. Immunohistochemical studies using polyclonal antibodies raised against the purified enzyme revealed that the antigen was localized in the nuclear membranes.^^^ ilyadenylation is one of the nuclear processes involved in the maturation of hnRNA prior to its transport to the cyto-plasm as mRNA. Poly (A) sequences have been implicated tThis work was supported by US Public Health Service Research Grants CA-41832 from the National Cancer Institute and DK-27339 from the National Institute of Arthritis, Diabetes, and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. in (i) mRNA stability (Nudel et al., 1976),(ii) nucleocytoplasmic transport of mRNA (Muller et al., 1984), and (iii) protein synthesis (Jacobson & Favreau, 1983; Rubin & Halim, 1987). However, most histone mRNAs lack poly (A) se-quences (Adesnik & Darnell, 1972; Greenberg & Perry, 1972), and also a population of mRNA isolated from adult rat brains has recently been shown to lack the sequences (Chaudhari & Hahn, 1983).
