The methylation status in general and the 5''-termini in particular of the main mRNA species, 26 S and 42 S RNA, that accumulate in Sindbis virus-infected vertebrate cells [baby hamster kidney BHK-21 and chicken embryo fibroblast] were studied. These intracellular species were compared with virion 42 S RNA. The 5''-termini examined were all capped and of the structure mG(5'')pppAp. The methylated guanosine (mG) caps consisted of m22.7G and m32.2.7G and m7G in the case of the intracellular RNAs, unlike virion RNA, which contained only m7G. Of the methyl label incorporated into the intracellular RNA species, 1/4-1/2 occurred as internal m5C residues; such residues were absent from virion RNA. In addition to differing from virion RNA, the Sindbis mRNAs differ from host cell mRNA and from the mRNA specified by most other viruses of vertebrate cells in the structure of their 5''-termini and in the nature of their internal methylated residues. Possible implications of these differences are discussed.
