Characterization of the End Groups of RNA of Rous Sarcoma Virus

J Keith 1,2, M Gleason 1,2, H Fraenkel-Conrat 1,2
PMCID: PMC433885  PMID: 4373713

Abstract

The 3′ terminus of the 30-35S RNA of Rous sarcoma virus is adenosine. Its amount indicates an average molecular weight for that RNA of about 3 × 106. The 5′ terminus of 30-35S RNA of Rous sarcoma virus was not di- or triphosphorylated, whether isolated by the standard procedure or from virus collected within 3 min of its release from the cells.

Keywords: 3′-terminal nucleoside analysis, 5′-phosphate analysis
