Transcription of the Polyoma Virus Genome: Synthesis and Cleavage of Giant Late Polyoma-Specific RNA

The size of virus-specific RNA synthesized in cultured mouse kidney cells infected with polyoma virus was estimated by electrophoresis and sedimentation analysis of RNA extracts from whole cells. Newly synthesized ``late'' polyoma-specific RNA appears as ``giant'' molecules of he...

description The size of virus-specific RNA synthesized in cultured mouse kidney cells infected with polyoma virus was estimated by electrophoresis and sedimentation analysis of RNA extracts from whole cells. Newly synthesized ``late'' polyoma-specific RNA appears as ``giant'' molecules of heterogeneous size, up to several times larger than a strand of polyoma DNA (1.5 × 106daltons). Treatment with dimethylsulfoxide or urea showed that the large size of these molecules is not due to aggregation. Giant polyoma-specific RNA is strikingly similar in size distribution to ``nuclear messenger-like'' RNA (``heterogeneous nuclear'' RNA) of the host cell. Subsequent to its synthesis, some of the giant polyoma-specific RNA appears to be cleaved to at least three smaller species.
