Abstract
Cells infected with wild-type Sindbis virus contain at least two forms of mRNA, 26S and 49S RNA. Sindbis 26S RNA (molecular weight 1.6 x 10^6) constitutes 90% by weight of the mRNA in infected cells, and is thought to specify the structural proteins of the virus. Sindbis 49S RNA, the viral genome (molecular weight 4.3 x 10^6), constitutes approximately 10% of the mRNA in infected cells and is thought to supply the remaining viral functions. In cells infected with ts2, a temperature-sensitive mutant of Sindbis virus, the messenger forms also include a third species of RNA with a sedimentation coefficient of 33S and an apparent molecular weight of 2.3 x 10^6. Hybridization-competition experiments showed that 90% of the base sequences in 33S RNA from these cells are also present in 26S RNA. Sindbis 33S RNA was also isolated from cells infected with wild-type virus. After reaction with formaldehyde, this species of 33S RNA appeared to be completely converted to 26S RNA. These results indicate that 33S RNA isolated from cells infected with either wild-type Sindbis or ts2 is not a unique and separate form of Sindbis RNA.
