Materials and Methods.-Preparation of 5S RNA: 5S RNA was extracted from E. coli RNase ILo-cells and purified as previously described,'0 with only one modification. In order to prevent the degradation of RNA as much as possible at the time of extraction, frozen cells (25 gm) were mixed at 2-40C in a Turmix mixer with 25 ml of a Macaloid (American Tansul Co., Houston, Texas) suspension (6.25 gm in 500 ml of 0.05 M tris-HCl, pH 7.6, 0.01 M MgCl2). Then 150 ml of a 90%(w/v) aqueous phenol solution and 125 ml of 0.01 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0, 0.01 M magnesium acetate were added, and the suspension was mixed for 2 min at the maximum mixer speed. C'4. uracil-labeled 5S RNA was prepared by the same procedure from cells grown on type-63 me-dium,'3 supplemented with 0.4%(w/v) glucose and 250 Mc/liter of CL-uracil (47.4 mc/mmole, CEA, Saclay). Denaturation treatments: Urea treatment: 5S RNA was dissolved at the required con-centration in 0.25 M tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.9, containing 7 M urea (freshly recrystallized) and 0.01 M EDTA. The solution was kept at 230C for 45 min and then quickly cooled in a salt-ice mixture. One-tenth volume of a cold 20%(w/v) sodium acetate solution adjusted at pH 5.0 was added and the RNA was precipitated by adding 2.5 vol of 95% ethanol, previously cooled at-10CC.Heat treatment: 5S RNA was dissolved at the required concentration in 0.15 M NaCl, 0.015 sodium citrate, pH 7.0. The solution was heated at 600C for 4 min and then quickly cooled by dilution in 29 vol of cold distilled water. The RNA was recovered by ethanol precipitation.
