Abstract

VA-RNA I is a low molecular weight RNA produced in large amounts in cells infected with adenoviruses. The 3' terminus of this RNA may represent a transcription termination site. We have demonstrated that this RNA occurs in infected cells in several forms which differ in the number of uridylic acid residues at the 3' ends. The nucleotide sequence of a DNA fragment overlapping the 3' end of VA-RNA I has been determined. The DNA could encode up to 4 uridylic acid residues at the 3' end of the RNA. The DNA sequence shows some similarity to known transcription termination sequences in prokaryotic systems.
