Abstract An acido-thermophillic archaebacteria,Thermoplasma strain KO-2, produced poly(A) containing RNA. The isolated poly(A)RNA showed the messenger activity in a cell-free extract of rabbit reticulocyte, indicating that the RNA is mRNA of the archaebacteria. 7-Methylgluanosine 5′-phosphate did not inhibit the reaction, suggesting that the cap structure is not present in the messenger. These results may suggest that poly(A) containing messenger arised at very early stage of evolution prior to the divergence between archaebacteria and eukaryotes.
