Virion-associated RNA primer for Rous sarcoma virus DNA synthesis: isolation from uninfected cells

Virion-associated RNA primer for Rous sarcoma virus DNA synthesis: isolation from uninfected cells

R C Sawyer et al. J Virol. 1974 Jun.

Abstract

Uninfected chicken, duck, rat, and human fibroblast cells in culture contained a tRNA-like RNA molecule which was structurally identical to a virion-associated RNA primer for in vitro Rous sarcoma virus DNA synthesis. This primer RNA appeared to be a normal tRNA of these cells. It was not found in a number of lower eukaryotic cells or in Escherichia coli.
