Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) has been separated into two electrophoretic species on polyacrylamide gels containing 8 M urea at 60 degrees. Only the slower-migrating electrophoretic form was infectious and is presumably the circular form of the molecule. Both forms had similar base compositions with a 55-58% GC content, similar to the citrus exocortis viroid. Labeling studies in vivo suggest that the viroid is not methylated.
马铃薯纺锤块茎类病毒(PSTV)在含8M尿素的聚丙烯酰胺凝胶上于60℃条件下可分离为两种电泳条带。只有迁移较慢的电泳形式具有感染性,推测它是该分子的环状形式。两种形式的碱基组成相似,GC含量为55 - 58%,与柑橘裂皮类病毒相似。体内标记研究表明该类病毒未被甲基化。
