The past several years have seen a virtual revolution in the study of eukaryotic mRNA.
Among the notable recent achievements are the positive identification of mRNA precursors …

Polyoma virus and simian virus 40 (SV40) are the simplest and therefore the most fully
understood DNA-containing oncogenic viruses. In this review, I consider what is known …

About 30% of HeLa cell mRNA lacks poly (A) when labeled in the presence of different rRNA
inhibitors. Our method of RNA fractionation precludes contamination of the poly (A)- mRNA …

The RNA synthesized in vitro by the virion-associated RNA-instructed RNA polymerase of
purified vesicular stomatitis virus contains polyadenylate sequences. These have been …

Late after adenovirus 2 infection (18 hr), nearly all newly synthesized polysomal messenger
ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is viral specified. Large amounts of adenovirus mRNA have been …

Publisher Summary The major stimulus for the studies on two papovaviruses—polyoma
virus and simian virus 40 (SV40)—has been their oncogenic potential. Both viruses cause …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the regulatory function of Poly (A) and adjacent
3'sequences in translated ribonucleic acids (RNAs). Messenger RNA chains from various …

The RNA from the mitochondrial fraction of animal cells contains a polyadenylic acid
sequence, approximately 55 nucleotides in length, which migrates at about 4 S in gel …

The poly (A) sequence of 30 to 40 S Rous sarcoma virus RNA, prepared by digestion of the
RNA with RNase T1, showed a rather homogenous electrophoretic distribution in formamide …

Oncogenic viruses have been known since the beginning of this century [1, 2, 3]. For
decades they were regarded as laboratory curiosities since they apparently induced only a …
