Indirect evidence for the presence of Ribonucleic acid in vesicular stomatitis Virions

Ribonucleic acid polymerase in virions of Newcastle disease virus: comparison with the vesicular stomatitis virus polymerase.

The virions of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) contained an enzyme that catalyzed the incorporation of ribonucleotides into ribonucleic acid (RNA). Optimal conditions for this polymerase activity were identical to the conditions for the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) polymerase, and both enzymes were active for longer times at 32 C than at 37 C. However, the specific activity of the NDV polymer...

Ribonucleic acid synthesis of vesicular stomatitis virus, II. An RNA polymerase in the virion.

The virions of vesicular stomatitis virus contain an enzyme that catalyzes the incorporation of ribonucleotides into RNA. The product of the reaction is mainly RNA complementary in base sequence to that of vesicular stomatitis virus RNA.

Nucleotide composition of the ribonucleic acid of rabies virus.

The nucleotide composition of the ribonucleic acid of three strains of rabies virus was determined and found to be similar to that of vesicular stomatitis virus.

Adenylate-rich sequences in vesicular stomatitis virus messenger ribonucleic acid.

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-specific messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) species contain sequences of adenylate-rich RNA which are more heterogeneous in their migration through sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels than the corresponding fractions from HeLa cell mRNA. VSV virion RNA contains no adenylaterich sequences. The possible role of such sequences in the mRNA species of a cytopla...
