Protein A binds the mRNA for gene B in HeLa cells. The protein A mediates the formation of mRNA-protein particles (mRNPs). The addition of a chemical C disrupts mRNPs in HeLa cells. The results of the western blot and northern blot analyses are shown below:
From the above experiments, which one of the following statements is true?
1
mRNP disruption does not affect the interaction of protein A and transcript B, or the translation of transcript B.
2
mRNP disruption inhibits protein A interaction with transcript B but not the the translation of transcript B.
3
mRNP disruption does not affect the interaction of protein A and transcript B, but affects the translation of transcript B.
4
mRNP disruption promotes protein A interaction with transcript B and translation from transcript B.
