Double-helical character of ribonucleic acid from virus-like particles found in Penicillium chrysogenum.

R A Cox, K Kanagalingam, K S Sutherland.   

Abstract

1. RNA was isolated from virus-like particles found in Penicillium chrysogenum and resolved into two fractions by gel filtration through agarose columns. 2. Fraction 1 was excluded and had the following properties: 50.9% G+C [AMP 0.246, UMP 0.246, CMP 0.252, GMP 0.255 (mole fraction)]; mol.wt. about 1.2x10(6) daltons; s(20,w) 12.3S and ;melting' temperature about 100 degrees C (solvent 0.15m-sodium chloride-0.015m-sodium citrate pH7.2); optical rotation [alpha](max.) 6000 degrees at 278nm; circular dichroism (epsilon(L)-epsilon(R))(max.)=8.181mol(-1) cm(-1) at 260nm. 3. Properties of fraction 2 include 37.8% G+C [AMP 0.313, UMP 0.312, CMP 0.186, GMP 0.189 (mole fraction)]; mol.wt. about 140000 daltons; s(20,w) 7.3S, T(m) about 85 degrees C (solvent 0.15m-sodium chloride-0.015m-sodium citrate, pH7.2); optical rotation [alpha](max.) 6000 degrees at 278nm; circular dichroism (epsilon(L)-epsilon(R))(max.)=8.241mol(-1) cm(-1) at 260nm. 4. The properties of both fractions were consistent with a double-helical conformation.
