β¦ Synopsis
26S and 17S yeast ribosomal RNA were digested with T 1 plus pancreatic ribonuclease and the products were fractionated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Besides the expected standard products (type (Ap) n Np, where N is C, U or G) several non-standard products were found to be present in the digests. The latter products include methylated oligonucleotides and pseudouridylic acid (Οp)-containing fragments. The primary structure and molar frequency of these modified products were determined. They appeared to be present in approximately integral molar amounts. Several of these oligonucleotides contain more than one modification. The total number of Οp-residues in 26S and 17S yeast rRNA was estimated to be about 32 and 14, respectively.

The molecular weights of the predominant rRNA precursors as well as those of 26-S and 17-S mature rRNA from Saccharomyces carlsbergensis were determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of formamide. Mature 26-S + 5.8-S rRNA was found to have a molecular weight of 1.24 β’ 106 whi
