Interaction of two members of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) family with the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of the murine inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA is demonstrated in this study. An iNOS RNA-protein complex is formed using protein extracts from untreated and septic shock treated mouse liver. UV cross-linking reveals that the complex consists of at least two proteins, with apparent molecular masses of 60 and 70 kDa, respectively.
