Abstract
The small RNAs of Moloney murine leukemia virus (M MuLV) were fractionated into at least 15 species by two dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The pattern of small RNAs is significantly different from that of Rous sarcoma virus. A subset of the virion small RNAs is associated with the genome RNA in the 70S complex. One of the associated molecules, a cellular tRNA, is tightly bound to the genome RNA and serves as the major primer for M MuLV RNA directed DNA synthesis in vitro.
