Abstract
ADENYLIC ACID (A)-rich sequences have been found in some mRNAs of animal cells1,2 and DNA viruses3 but not in the RNAs of cytocidal or oncogenic RNA viruses. These sequences have been proposed to be involved in the transport of mRNA to the cytoplasm from the nucleus or vaccinia virus core2,3, or in the association of mRNA with proteins necessary for translation1.
