Three low molecular weight RNA species detected in tobacco ringspot virus.
A culture line of tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) has changed in sedimentation properties and does not resolve into components normally found in this virus. Virus preparations contain a large proportion of a new type of particle whose protein shell is structurally and immunologically the same as normal TRSV capsids but encapsidates three species of RNA with molecular weights of approximately 114,000, 245,000, and 367,000 daltons.
