KOH digestion of methyl-labeled poly (A)+ mRNA purified by (dT)-cellulose chromatography pro-duced mononucleotide and multiple peaks of a large oligonucleotide (—6 to—8 charge) when separated on the basis of charge by Pellionex-WAX high-speed liquid chromatography in 7 M urea. Heat denaturation of the RNA before application to (dT)-cellulose was required to release con-taminants (mostly 18S rRNA) that persisted even after re-peated binding to (dT)-cellulose at room temperature. Analysis of the purified poly (A)+ mRNA by enzyme diges-tion, acid hydrolysis, and a variety of chromatographic techniques has shown that the mononucleotide (53%) is due entirely to 7V6-methyIadenosine. The large oligonucleotides (47%) were found to contain 7-methylguanosine and the 2,-0-methyl derivatives of all four nucleosides. No radioac-tivity was found associated with the poly (A) segment. Per-iodate oxidation of the mRNA followed by ß elimination released only labeled 7-methylguanine consistent with a blocked 5'terminus containing an unusual 5'-5'bond. Al-
