Polyadenylic acid sequences in the virion RNA of poliovirus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus

J A Armstrong et al. Science. .

Abstract

Poliovirus virion RNA contains a single covalently bound sequence of polyadenylic acid which is approximately 49 nucleotides long. A single, slightly longer polyadenylic acid sequence is contained in Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus RNA. Since these viruses are otherwise dissimilar these sequences may play a common role in viral replication, possibly in translation of the viral RNA.
