Abstract
Approximately 2% of the DNA of the mouse genome reassociates at infinitely low C 0 t values, 10(-7) to 10(-6) moles 1(-1) s. The melting profile of the reassociation product, which is resistant to nuclease S1 digestion, has been characterized by hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The properties of these nuclease resistant sequences suggest that they exist as 'DNA-hairpins' and that they originate from reverted base sequences within the genome.

Abstract
We studied the distribution of repetitive sequence elements capable of forming double-stranded regions in nuclear RNA of HeLa, KB, and L cells. In human RNA populations, we called these regions duplex Alu family RNA (dAfRNA) because they represent transcripts of the highly reiterated family of DNA regions known as "Alu family DNA" (Rubin et al., Nature (London) 284:372-374, 1980). Although the dAfRNA populations of both human cell lines (HeLa and KB) have low sequence complexity, they represent 5% of the total heterogeneous nuclear RNA and have identical fingerprints; mouse L-cell dAf-like RNA (which has a similar complexity) represents only 2% of the total heterogeneous nuclear RNA and has an entirely different fingerprint. We utilized Escherichia coli RNase III as a highly specific reagent for the recognition of RNA:RNA duplex structure. This enzyme cleaves within the six characteristic RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides of HeLa- and KB-cell dAfRNA (Robertson et al., J. Mol. Biol. 115:571-589, 1977). In addition, the size of heterogeneous nuclear RNA from all three cell types is reduced from greater than 32S to about 15S after RNase III treatment. We conclude that this size shift is a result of cleavage within dAfRNA regions and that such regions are present in most or all of the large RNA transcripts of these cells.

Abstract
Heterogeneous nuclear RNA contains double-stranded regions that are not found in mRNA and that may serve as recognition elements for processing enzymes. The double-stranded regions of heterogeneous nuclear RNA prepared from HeLa cells promoted the synthesis of (2',5')oligoadenylate [(2',5')oligo(A) or (2'5')An] when incubated with (2',5')An polymerase. This enzyme is present in elevated levels in interferon-treated cells, and labeled heterogeneous nuclear RNA incubated with extracts of these cells is preferentially cleaved, since mRNA included in the same incubations is not appreciably degraded. The cleavage of heterogenous nuclear RNA is caused by the synthesis of (2'5')An and by a "localized" activation of the (2',5')An-dependent endonuclease, since it was enhanced by ATP, the substrate of the (2',5')An polymerase, and inhibited by 2'-dATP and ethidium bromide. Both of these compounds suppress the synthesis of (2',5')An, the first by competitive inhibition and the latter by intercalating into double-stranded RNA. The possible role of double-stranded regions and of the (2',5')An polymerase-endonuclease system in the processing of heterogeneous nuclear RNA is discussed.

Abstract
Simian Virus-40 infected BSC-1 cells were pretreated with glucosamine and briefly pulsed with [3H]-uridine. The labeling can be halted instantaneously by the addition of cold uridine and glucosamine. Under these pulse-chase conditions, the inhibitory effects of the intercalating agent proflavine on the processing of prelabeled nuclear RNA precursors were examined in vivo. Proflavine inhibits the cleavage of viral nuclear RNA precursors. However, turnover of the mature viral mRNAs in the cytoplasm is not inhibited. The effect of proflavine on processing is not a secondary consequence of its inhibition of protein synthesis. The data suggest that base-paired secondary structures in the primary transcripts are important processing signals in the generation of viral mRNA molecules.

Abstract
High molecular weight nuclear pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA or hnRNA) isolated from Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells contains besides moderately long (100--200 base pairs) snap-back double-stranded structures, also longer double-stranded structure containing at least 300--800 base pairs. Their double-stranded nature was proved by Cs2SO4 gradient centrifugation. Very long double-stranded sequences are not able to snap-back after RNA melting. While the moderately long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is renatured at C0t1/2 approximately equal to 5-10(-4), the very long dsRNA shows a higher complexity (C0t1/2 approximately equal to 2-10(-2). They also hybridize to less reiterated class of DNA than moderately long dsRNA. Two classes of dsRNA are represented by different sequences as followed from cross-renaturation experiments. Very long dsRNA forms stable hybrids with 20% of total poly(A)+mRNA of cytoplasm. The properties of different classes of ds structures present in nuclear pre-mRNA are compared and their possible nature is discussed. The presence of very long dsRNA may reflect either the symmetric transcription of structural genes, or the transcription from those DNA sequences which are complementary to each other but located in different parts of the genome.

Abstract
The hybridization and renaturation properties of double-stranded hairpin-like loops isolated from giant nuclear messenger RNA precursor of mouse liver or ascites carcinoma cells were studied. About half of the hairpins in messenger RNA precursor appear to contain similar sequences, as indicated by the very fast kinetics of renaturation of the denatured double-stranded RNA sequences. These sequences have no tissue specificity. About one third of the hairpin sequences can hybridize to messenger RNA. It is suggested that the long hairpins in messenger RNA precursor play the role of sequences separating messenger RNA sequences from non-informative sequences and that these hairpins are recognized by processing enzymes.

Abstract
Purified acid-thermostable ribonuclease (Ribonucleate 3'-pyrimidino-oligonucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.22) from human pancreas degrades double-stranded RNA at 2% the rate for single-stranded RNA. The activities against single-stranded RNA and double-stranded RNA were shown to be due to a single enzyme with properties similar to bovine pancreatic RNAase A. For purposes of comparison the activities against double-stranded RNA of crystalline ribonucleases of the whale, rat and cow were assayed and found to be 0.4%, 0.03% and 0.003%, respectively, of their activities against single-stranded RNA. Both human serum and urine contain RNAse components of pancreatic origin which hydrolyze double-stranded RNA at 2% and 0.4%, respectively, of the rates against single-stranded RNA. By contrast, purified acid-thermostable RNAases from human spleen and liver hydrlyze double-stranded RNA at least 20-fold more slowly than human pancreatic RNAase, relative to the corresponding rates against single-stranded RNA. The human pancreatic and serum enzymes exhibit appreciable activity against the poly(C) component of the double-stranded poly(I)-poly(C); they also attack poly(C) itself at approximately 25 times the rate for poly(U) and at more than 50 times the rate for single-stranded RNA.

Abstract
In order to investigate the symmetry of globin gene transcription, complementary RNA (cRNA) was synthesized using rabbit globin complementary DNA (cDNA) as a template for Escherichia coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNA nucleotidyltransferase). The cRNA hybridized specifically to its own cDNA template but not to sheep cDNA, rabbit globin mRNA, or poly(dT). Hybridization studies with cRNA demonstrated that RNA sequences transcribed from the DNA strand complementary to the globin gene region (anti-strand) were not present in cellular, total nuclear, or fractionated nuclear RNA from rabbit marrow. Such sequences were detected in RNA transcribed from rabbit marrow chromatin by E. coli or sheep liver RNA polymerases, but amounted to less than 50% of the globin mRNA sequences present in the same transcript. The evidence indicates that globin mRNA transcription is predominantly DNA strand specific.

Abstract
We have studied the intracellular location of double-stranded RNA from rat liver. The majority of this dsRNA is associated with nuclear and mitochondrial fractions and the remaining portion is associated with microsomes. Mitochondrial dsRNA hybridizes specifically with purified strands of mitochondrial DNA and seems therefore to arise from transcription of the latter. A fraction of nuclear dsRNA hybridizes with repetitive sequences of nuclear DNA. Because of self-hybridization of dsRNA strands, it was not possible to determine whether another fraction of DSRNA is homologous to nonrepetitive sequences of DNA. Both mitochondrial and nuclear types of dsRNA are not retained on oligo(dT) cellulose columns and therefore seem to lack long poly A sequences. The mechanism of formation of dsRNA is discussed.

Abstract
Double-stranded RNA, made as an intermediary substance in the replication of most, if not all, viruses, may play a much more important role in the pathogenesis and the recovery from virus infections than has hitherto been suspected. Apparently, dsRNA is used by both the challenge virus and the host cell in an attempt to gain "molecular control." Double-stranded RNA exerts a set of effects, which may be well balanced, not only at the level of the individual cell but also at the complex assemblage of these cells termed the organism (Fig. 1). In the cell, interferon synthesis is triggered, although interferon mRNA translation may not occur if dsRNA shuts off protein synthesis too quickly. In the whole organism, the disease severity will depend on how certain toxic reactions evoked by infection (such as cell necrosis and fever) are counterbalanced by an increase in the host defense mechanisms (for example, immune responsiveness and interferon production). Many aspects of the response, relating to either progress of, or recovery from, the disease, can be explained on the basis of a dsRNA. In addition to drawing attention to the biodynamic role of dsRNA, our hypothesis suggests specific experimental vectors designed to enhance our information on the molecular basis of the morbid process which occurs with viral infection. Finally, we suggest that, although the dsRNA molecule may be viewed as a rather simple unit structure, the opportunity for further diversity in the biological activity of a given dsRNA molecule always exists. Namely, each deviation from a perfectly double-helical arrangement introduces the possibility for emphasizing one biological reactivity at the expense of another. This latter structure-activity property may partially account for the extreme apparent diversity, commonly encountered, in the presentations of virologic illness. Appendix note added in proof. Subsequent to submission of this text, we have found that the potent mitogen effect of dsRNA for lymphocytes (murine and human) is also exquisitively sensitive to the fidelity in base pairing of the input polymer pair (59). For example, infrequent "loops" (one nucleotide per 20 base pairs) in an otherwise perfectly helical rI(n) (.) rC(n) molecule [for example, rI(n) (.) r(C(19,)U)(n)] strongly changes its mitogenic properties. This observation, which supports our thesis that a "fine structure" term can be developed for other reactions triggered by dsRNA's in biological systems, emphasizes that diverse biological effects may be encountered with an ostensibly uniform family of dsRNA's.

Abstract
Concentrations of double-stranded RNA above about 0.1 mug/ml inhibit translation of encephalo-myocarditis viral RNA and mouse globin messenger RNA in extracts of Krebs II ascites cells. Protein synthesis initially proceeds at the control rate, then abruptly shuts off in a manner similar to that observed in reticulocyte lysates [Hunt, T. & Ehrenfeld, E. (1971) Nature New Biol. 230, 91-94]. Substantially higher concentrations of double-stranded RNA are required to give this effect in ascites extracts. Subcellular fractions of Krebs II ascites cells contain a nucleolytic activity capable of digesting several natural and synthetic double-stranded RNAs. This nuclease is most active under conditions of protein synthesis, and part of the activity remains associated with ribosomes upon sedimentation. It is probably because of digestion of double-stranded RNA by this nuclease that higher concentrations of double-stranded RNA are required for inhibition of protein synthesis in Krebs cell extracts than in reticulocyte lysates.

Abstract
Heterogeneous nuclear RNA from HeLa cells contains double-stranded regions that arise by base pairing of complementary sequences that exist as parts of the same molecule (intramolecular base pairing). When denatured, the RNA sequences that form the double-stranded regions hybridize rapidly to HeLa cell DNA, suggesting that they are transcribed from reiterated sites in the genome. The messenger RNA does not contain the same class or amount of double-stranded RNA regions found in heterogeneous nuclear RNA.

Abstract
A viral inhibitor with the characteristics of mouse interferon is produced by avian and simian cells preincubated with RNA extracted from interferon-producing mouse cells. Similarly, RNA extracted from interferon-producing monkey cells induces a monkey interferon-like substance in avian cells and also in a line of simian cells, VERO, which normally lacks the capacity to produce its own interferon. In both cases, the RNA effect is inhibited by treatment of the receptor cells by cycloheximide, but not by actinomycin D. We conclude that interferon messenger RNA has been translated in the receptor cells. Thus, the production of interferon in heterologous cells can be used as a sensitive assay of interferon messenger RNA.
