Abstract
The genome of Sindbis virus, 49 s RNA, is a single, intact polynucleotide chain having a molecular weight of 4.3±0.3 x 10^6 daltons. This has been determined using a variety of methods including polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, sedimentation after reaction with formaldehyde, determination of the molecular weights of the double-stranded forms of Sindbis-specific RNA and hybridization competition. The second major species of single-stranded RNA made after infection with Sindbis, 26 s RNA, has been found to have a molecular weight of 1.6 x 10^8 daltons as determined by sedimentation in dimethylsulfoxide. Hybridization-competition experiments carried out between these two species of RNA, using double-stranded forms of Sindbis RNA isolated from infected cells, showed that 26 s RNA contains only one-third of the base sequences in 49 s RNA and thus represents a unique fraction of the viral genome.
