title: The RNA of chick forebrain synaptosomes.
abstract: The RNA species present in myelin, synaptosomal, mitochondrial, microsomal and post-microsomal fractions obtained from chick forebrain have been investigated using polyacrylamide gels. The primary species associated with the synaptosomal fraction are the 28S, 18S and 5S rRNAs, in addition to species L and 4S tRNA. No detectable mitochondrial rRNA has been found. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to the study of synaptosomal protein synthesis.
