A model for the secondary structure of mouse βMajglobin messenger RNA is presented based on enzymatic digestion data, comparative sequence and computer analysis. Using 5′-32P-end-labeled β globin mRNA as a substrate, single-stranded regions were determined with S1and T1nucleases and double-stranded regions with V1ribonuclease from cobra venom. The structure data obtained for ca. 75% of the molecule was introduced into a computer algorithm which predicts secondary structures of minimum free energy consistent with the enzymatic data. Two prominent base paired regions independently derived by phylogenetic analysis were also present in the computer generated structure lending support for the model. An interesting feature of the model is the presence of long-range base pairing interactions which permit the β globin mRNA to fold back on itself, thereby bringing the 5′- and 3′-noncoding regions within close proximity. This feature is consistent with data from other laboratories suggesting an interaction of the 5′- and 3′-domains in the mammalian globin mRNAs.
