Comparison of the 3' Termini of Discrete Segments of the Double-Stranded Ribonucleic Acid Genomes of Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus, Wound Tumor Virus, and Reovirus

ABSTRACT

The 3' terminal nucleosides of the isolated components of double-stranded ribonucleic acids of reovirus, wound tumor virus, and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus were determined by labeling with tritiated sodium borohydride. All wound tumor virus and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus components appear to contain approximately equal amounts of U_OH and C_OH termini. Reovirus segments have essentially only C_OH termini.
