“…Such a strand of RNP would contain RNA with a molecular weight of 3.4 X 106 to 3.8 X 106. This value is in fair agreement with those calculated from sedimentation data (3,13,16,20,23,26). The virus contains three major proteins (18,29), each of which is associated with a distinct structural unit (6).…”

“…To calculate the number of protein subunits in the virus, it is necessary to know their molecular weights and the molecular weight of the RNA. Nakai and Howatson (21) calculated from measurements of the strand length of the RNP that the RNA had a molecular weight of 3.6 X 106, a value in good agreement with those obtained by sedimentation studies (3,13,16,20,23,26). The molecular weights of the protein subunits were taken to be 75 X 103 for the surface projection, 57 X 103 for the RNP protein, and 32.5 X 103 for the matrix protein.…”

Vesicular stomatitis virus contains single-stranded ribonucleic acid of molecular weight 3.6 X 106 and three major proteins with molecular weights of 75 x 103, 57 x 108, and 32.5 X 103. The proteins have been shown to be subunits of the surface projections, ribonucleoprotein, and matrix protein, respectively. From these values and from estimates of the proportions of the individual proteins, it has been calculated that the virus has approximately 500 surface projections, 1,100 protein units on the ribonucleoprotein strand, and 1,600 matrix protein units. Possible models of the virus are proposed in which the proteins are interrelated.
