Abstract

The effects of cycloheximide and 5-fluorouracil on the formation of low-molecular-weight ribonucleic acid (RNA) in yeast were investigated. Both compounds were found to affect the synthesis of low-molecular-weight RNA of ribosomal origin more than transfer RNA but less than the high-molecular-weight ribosomal RNA. 5-Fluorouracil-containing transfer RNA was separated from normal transfer RNA by chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose at 80 C in the presence of 7 m urea.
