Ribonuclease activities associated with purified foot and mouth disease virus. 1978

C D Denoya, and E A Scodeller, and C Vasquez, and J L La Torre

Ribonuclease activities internally and externally associated with purified foot-and mouth disease virus were detected. The outer activity was easily removed by cesium chloride or by detergent (Sarkosyl). The inner activity is not removable by any procedure used and could be the enzyme responsible for the heterogeneity normally observed in the extracted FMDV-RNA. It is not known at present if both activities are related to the same or to different enzymes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002586	Cesium	A member of the alkali metals. It has an atomic symbol Cs, atomic number 55, and atomic weight 132.91. Cesium has many industrial applications, including the construction of atomic clocks based on its atomic vibrational frequency.	Caesium,Caesium-133,Cesium-133,Caesium 133,Cesium 133
D003902	Detergents	Purifying or cleansing agents, usually salts of long-chain aliphatic bases or acids, that exert cleansing (oil-dissolving) and antimicrobial effects through a surface action that depends on possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.

D005537	Aphthovirus	A genus of the family PICORNAVIRIDAE infecting mainly cloven-hoofed animals. They cause vesicular lesions and upper respiratory tract infections. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE VIRUS is the type species.	Equine rhinitis A virus,Equine rhinovirus 1,Aphthoviruses
D012260	Ribonucleases	Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds within RNA. EC 3.1.-.	Nucleases, RNA,RNase,Acid Ribonuclease,Alkaline Ribonuclease,Ribonuclease,RNA Nucleases,Ribonuclease, Acid,Ribonuclease, Alkaline
D012335	RNA, Ribosomal	The most abundant form of RNA. Together with proteins, it forms the ribosomes, playing a structural role and also a role in ribosomal binding of mRNA and tRNAs. Individual chains are conventionally designated by their sedimentation coefficients. In eukaryotes, four large chains exist, synthesized in the nucleolus and constituting about 50% of the ribosome.

D012367	RNA, Viral	Ribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses.	Viral RNA
