Summary
Rapidly labelled nuclear RNA from an SV40 transformed mouse 3T3 line was isolated, and different molecular size classes pooled. The fractions were treated with Ehrlich ascites exonuclease III for various lengths of time, and the digestion of the 3′ ends of the RNA measured by the appearance of TCA-soluble material. The resulting partially degraded RNA populations were then hybridised to SV40 DNA. The data suggest that a high proportion of the viral specific sequences are located near the 3′ ends of heterogeneous nuclear RNA.
