Sendai virus genome synthesis and assembly are coupled: a possible mechanism to promote viral RNA polymerase processivity
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
A cell-free system for studying Sendai virus RNA synthesis was reconstituted from N protein:RNA templates and transfected cell extracts in which the viral N, P and L proteins were expressed. Both transcription (mRNA synthesis) and replication (genome and antigenome synthesis) took place concurrently in these reactions. Viral RNA polymerases engaged in replication (replicases) were found to elongate their chains...
