The psoralen derivative aminomethyltrioxsalen (AMT, 4'-aminomethyl-4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen) has been employed as a probe for heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) double-stranded regions in experiments with living HeLa cells. hnRNA ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) particles were purified from untreated or AMT-treated cells after irradiation with 365-nm light, and double-stranded hnRNA regions (dsRNA) were isolated by RNase A + T1 digestion of hnRNP, followed by preparative Cs2SO4 isopycnic centrifugation. The purified, hnRNP-derived dsRNA was then assayed for interstrand crosslinks by measurement of its "snapback" to RNase-resistant form after thermal denaturation. By this procedure, the amount of crosslinked dsRNA was found to be increased 3- to 7-fold in cells exposed to AMT in vivo. The levels of crosslinking in vivo compared favorably with those observed in model experiments with pure dsRNA in vitro. These results establish that double-stranded hnRNA regions exist in the living cell, and they further demonstrate that these base-paired regions are organized as rather accessible sites within the nucleus.
