SUMMARYThe synthesis of low mol. wt. RNA has been studied in KB cells infected with adenovirus type z after labelling with 3H-uridine or ~2p. An increasing amount of virus-coded VA RNA is detected from 8 h after infection onward. The rate of synthesis of tRNA is unchanged up to 16 h after infection and thereafter decreases; from 24 to 48 h after infection, the specific activity of tRNA is about 6o ~o of the control value. The specific activity of cellular 5S RNA increases from 12 h after infection. When the tRNA is analysed by a two-dimensional gel electrophoresis system resolving the tRNA into 42 to 47 spots, changes in synthesis of tRNA in individual spots are seen. From 8 to IZ h after infection, an increase in the relative rate of incorporation into RNA is observed in 7 spots, while a significant decrease is detected in 8 spots. From I2 to I6 h after infection, incorporation into RNA is increased in 6 spots, but is most marked (sevenfold) in I spot. A decrease of incorporation into RNA in 6 spots is observed at the same time. From 24 to 34 h after infection, an increase in synthesis of RNA in 8 spots is observed and a decrease also in 8 spots. Incorporation into RNA in 2 spots is virtually shut off.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
