Heterogeneous nuclear RNA of sea urchin blastulae has been fractionated into three molecular classes by two separate methods, using oligothymidylate (oligo (dT))-cellulose and polyuridylate (poly (U)) glass fiber filters. These molecular classes, which we have designated α, β and γ HnRNA‡, have distinctly different properties:(i) α HnRNA is not bound by oligo (dT)-cellulose, but is bound by poly (U) filters, and is eluted from the poly (U) by 15% formamide. This class has a mean value (in denaturing solvent) of 37 S, contains an oligoadenylate segment of 25 residues (oligo (A) 25) and lacks larger polyadenylate segments (poly (A)). The oligo (A) 25 is not present at the 3′ terminus of the molecule, as determined by end-group analysis (ii) β HnRNA is bound by either oligo (dT)-cellulose or poly (U) filters and is eluted from the latter by 40% formamide. This class has a mean value of 31 S, contains a poly (A) segment of approximately 175 residues at the 3′ terminus, but lacks oligo (A) 25. In addition, both α and β HnRNAs contain adenylate stretches of approximately 12 residues in length (oligo (A) 12).(iii) γ HnRNA is not bound by either oligo (dT) or poly (U). It displays a mean value of 36 S and lacks both poly (A) 175 and oligo (A 25). Furthermore, our evidence supports the conclusion that these three classes are not artificially derived from HnRNA, but comprise an in vivo population of HnRNA molecules whose mean value is approximately 36 S.
