Abstract
The “70S-associated” 4S RNA from avian myeloblastosis virus contains transfer RNA, as determined by aminoacylation. The various amino acids esterified, plus the great number of minor bases found in this “70S-associated” 4S RNA indicate that a sizeable fraction, but not all, of this RNA is transfer RNA.
Keywords: oncogenic RNA virus, tRNA bound to 70S RNA
