Popis: Encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus RNA contains a covalently bound sequence of polyriboadenylic acid (poly(A). This was determined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of complete T1 and pancreatic RNase digests of formamidesucrose gradient-purified RNA and subsequent analysis of the product by alkaline hydrolysis. The size of the EMC virus genomic poly(A) sequence was estimated by formamide-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the RNase-resistant product, or by [3H-]poly(U) hybridization to freshly purified virion RNA, to be, on average, 40 nucleotides in length. The evidence obtained from [3H-]isoniazid labelling and other experiments would indicate that the poly(A) sequence is located at the 3'-terminus of EMC virus RNA.
