A rodent 4.5S RNA molecule with extensive homology to the Alu family of interspersed repetitive DNA sequences has been found physically associated with polyadenylated nuclear and cytoplasmic RNAs (W. Jelinek and L. Leinwand, Cell 15:205-214, 1978; S. Haynes et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 1:573-583, 1981). In this report, we describe a 4.5S RNA molecule in rat cells whose RNase fingerprints are identical to those of the equivalent mouse molecule. We show that the rat 4.5S RNA is part of a small family of RNA molecules, all sharing sequence homology to the Alu family of DNA sequences. These RNAs are synthesized by RNA polymerase III and are developmentally regulated and short-lived in the cytoplasm. Of this family of small RNAs, only the 4.5S RNA is found associated with polyadenylated RNA.
