The tRNA that are bound to the genomic RNA of several murine, feline and primate retroviruses were identified. Transfer RNA were divided into those loosely bound and those tightly bound by stepwise thermal dissociation of the 70 S RNA. They were then identified and semiquantitated by aminoacylation. Proline tRNA is the most tenaciously bound tRNA in several strains of murine leukemia virus, 2 strains of feline leukemia virus, and the primate viruses simian sarcoma, baboon endogenous and gibbon ape lymphoma. In the feline xenotropic virus, RD-114, tRNAGly is enriched in the most tightly bound fraction. In Mason-Pfizer monkey virus, as in the murine mammary tumor virus, tRNALys is the tRNA most tenaciously bound to its genomic RNA. Besides the most tightly associated tRNA, one or more different tRNA are found in relatively large amounts in association with the 70 S RNA. (For convenience, the largest RNA complex (50-70 S) isolated from any of the retroviruses studied was referred to as 70 S RNA.) These tRNA can be distinguished from the most tightly bound tRNA by the fact that they can be dissociated at lower temperatures. They occur in the same relative abundance as the tightly bound tRNA.
