1. Although thioacetamide treatment of Krebs II ascites-tumour cells did not markedly affect the rate of RNA synthesis in vivo, it caused the formation of an unusual single-stranded RNA component sedimenting at approx. 26s. 2. The maturation process leading to the formation of methylated RNA was examined by following the kinetics of incorporation into RNA of radioactivity from [G-(3)H]uridine and l-[Me-(14)C]methionine. In treated and untreated tumour cells extensive methylation was observed, not only of the ribosomal RNA species, but also of their precursors, especially the precursor species sedimenting at 35s. 3. Evidence is also presented to suggest that methylation of low-molecular-weight RNA species occurs both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm of these tumour cells. 4. Thioacetamide did not appear to have an effect on RNA methylation in vivo, and in thioacetamide-treated cells the 26s RNA accumulated within the nucleus, where it was methylated. 5. It is postulated that the 26s RNA is most likely to arise as a result of a fault in the scission process that gives rise to the ribosomal RNA components from their high-molecular-weight precursors.
