Identification of a Minimal Size Requirement for Termination of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus mRNA: Implications for the Mechanism of Transcription
15 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
The nonsegmented negative-strand RNA (NNS) viruses have a single-stranded RNA genome tightly encapsidated by the viral nucleocapsid protein. The viral polymerase transcribes the genome responding to specific gene-start and gene-end sequences to yield a series of discrete monocistronic mRNAs. These mRNAs are not produced in equimolar amounts; rather, their abundance reflects the position of the gene with respect...
