From previous work it was known that U3 RNA is hydrogen bonded to nucleolar 28 S to 35 S RNA and can be covalently crosslinked to RNA of >28 S by irradiationin vivowith long-wave ultraviolet light in the presence of 4′-aminomethyl-4,5′,8-trimethylpsoralen (AMT psoralen). Here we use a novel sandwich blot technique to identify these large nucleolar RNA species as rRNA precursors and to map the site(s) of crosslinkingin vivo. The crosslink occurs between one or more residues near the 5′ end of U3 RNA and a 380 nucleotide region of the rat rRNA external transcribed spacer (ETS1). We have sequenced this region of the rat ETS and we show that it includes an RNA-processing site analogous to those previously mapped to approximately 3.5 kb upstream from the 5′ end of mouse and human 18 S rRNAs.
