Abstract

The properties of the ribonuclease resistant cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein particles were studied in contact-inhibited and serum induced proliferating 3T3 cells. The RNP particles were fractionated by oligo (dT)-cellulose chromatography and banded in CsSO 4 gradients. The main RNP fraction, eluted with 25% formamide, contained the major ribonuclease resistant RNA sequences in both resting and growing cells. The protein component of this fraction had a molecular weight of about 72,000 in contact-inhibited cells and 81,000 in serum induced cells.
