Heavy nuclear RNA contains high amounts of transcripts from repetitive sequences B1 and B2. Cytoplasmic poly(A)+ RNA and, particularly, polysomal poly(A)+ RNA (mRNA) also include these sequences but in smaller amounts. The abundant 2 kb mRNA of mouse liver are found to have a B2 sequence. These sequences are also found in a new class of low-molecular-weight heterogeneous (200–400 nucleotide long) poly(A)+ RNAs. These RNAs are located mostly in cytoplasm rather than in polysomes. The amount of small B2+ RNAs is noticeable larger than that of small B1+ RNAs. Tumour cells seem to contain more small B2 RNA than normal cells. The hybridization tests show that extended homology exists between the B1 sequence and 4.5S small nuclear RNA, which is predicted from comparison of their base sequences. Also, we have found homology between Bl and small cytoplasmic 7's RNA. Hybridization of B2 to sn or sc RNAs has not been observed, although the sequencing reveals partial homology between B2 and 4.5S sn RNAI /1/.
