Correlation of Messenger RNA Function with Adenylate-Rich Segments in the Genomes of Single-Stranded RNA Viruses

Robert E Johnston 1, Henry R Bose 1
PMCID: PMC426738  PMID: 4338595

Abstract

Oligonucleotides enriched in adenylate residues have been demonstrated in the genomes of two positive-strand RNA viruses, Sindbis and Columbia SK. Such oligonucleotides were not found in the genome of vesicular stomatitis virus, a negative-strand virus. The adenylate-rich oligonucleotides from Sindbis and Columbia SK viruses appeared similar when analyzed by zonal sedimentation in sucrose-sodium dodecyl sulfate.

Keywords: poly(A); Sindbis, Columbia SK, and vesicular stomatitis viruses
