Low-molecular-weight RNAs of murine sarcoma virus: comparative studies of free and 70S RNA-associated components

J Virol. 1973 Dec;12(6):1625-7. doi: 10.1128/JVI.12.6.1625-1627.1973.

Abstract

Several low-molecular-weight RNAs were released from mouse leukemia sarcoma virus 70S RNA under conditions of thermal denaturation. One of them, the 70S-associated 8S RNA, exhibits a number of structural properties characteristic of a previously described free viral 8S RNA. This similarity was revealed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and nucleotide composition.
