Differential Transcription Attenuation of Rabies Virus Genes by Intergenic Regions: Generation of Recombinant Viruses Overexpressing the Polymerase Gene
15 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Gene expression of nonsegmented negative-sense RNA viruses involves sequential synthesis of monocistronic mRNAs and transcriptional attenuation at gene borders resulting in a transcript gradient. To address the role of the heterogeneous rabies virus (RV) intergenic regions (IGRs) in transcription attenuation, we constructed bicistronic model RNAs in which two reporter genes are separated by the RV N/P gene...
