The protein remained bound to the RNA after boiling with SDS-mercaptoethanol-urea or treating with formamide-dimethylsulphoxide but was removed by incubating with proteinase K. The mol. wt. of the protein was estimated to be about 10 × 103 by electrophoresis in highly cross-linked polyacrylamide gels. The infectivity of the RNA was destroyed by removal of the protein with proteinase K., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-41-2-443
