RESUMO
Electron microscope and gel electrophoresis studies show that the high-molecular-weight (50 to 70S) RNA extract from Friend virus (FV) is a dimer with the same basic structure previously observed for the RNAs from RD-114 virus, baboon virus, and woolly monkey virus. This observation greatly strengthens the inference that the dimer structure is a general characteristic of the RNAs of all mammalian type C viruses. The FV dimer is slightly less stable than the RNA dimer of woolly monkey virus, which is, in turn, much less stable than those of RD-114 and baboon virus. There are three FV monomer components, small (S), medium (M), and large (L), with molecular lengths of 6.7 +/- 0.6, 7.7 +/- 0.6, and 9.5 +/- 0.6 kilobases, respectively. There are approximately equal amounts of the S and M components and much less of the L component. Most of the dimers are homodimers (SS, MM, and LL). The frequency of heterodimers (SM, SL, ML) is much less than expected for a random assortment model.
