The molecular size and poly-A content of RNA synthesized in isolated nuclei of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells were measured. KCl was found to be essential for synthesis of high molecular weight RNA: when 0.4 M KCl was added to the reaction mixture, the average molecular size of the RNA formed was 14S; without KCl the average molecular size was 5S. A significant amount of poly-A sequences was found in RNA synthesized in the presence of alpha-amanitin, suggesting that RNA polymerase I and/or III may synthesized some RNA containing poly-A in isolated nuclei.
