Abstract excerpt
We have designed hammerhead ribozymes that cleave c-Ha-ras mRNA mutated at codon 12 (GGU----GUU). Plasmids containing the ribozyme-encoding genes were expressed under the control of the long terminal repeats of Rous sarcoma virus in NIH3T3 cells transfected with the activated c-Ha-ras gene. These ribozymes were found to inhibit formation of foci (by about 50%) by cleaving the oncogene mRNA, rather than by...
