Two low-molecular-weight RNAs are associated with the 70SRNA complex of Rous sarcoma virus: a previously described 4SRNA and a newly identified 5SRNA. The 4SRNA constitutes 3 to 4% of the 70SRNA complex or the equivalent of 12 to 20 molecules per 70SRNA. It exhibits a number of structural properties characteristic of transfer RNA as revealed by two-dimensional electrophoresis of oligonucleotides obtained from a T1 ribonuclease digest of the 4SRNA species. The 5SRNA is approximately 120 nucleotides in length, constitutes 1% of the 70SRNA complex or the equivalent of 3 to 4 molecules per molecules of 70SRNA, and is identical in nucleotide composition and structure to 5SRNA from uninfected chicken embryo fibroblasts. Melting studies indicate that the 5SRNA is released from the 70SRNA complex at the same temperature required to dissociate 70SRNA into its constituent 35Ssubunits. In contrast, greater than 80% of the 4SRNA is released from 70SRNA prior to its conversion into subunits. The possible biological significance of these 70S-associated RNAs is discussed.
