Transcription and replication initiate at separate sites on the vesicular stomatitis virus genome
27 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the nonsegmented negative-strand RNA viruses carries out two distinct RNA synthetic processes: transcription of monocistronic, capped, and polyadenylated subgenomic messenger RNAs, and replication by means of the synthesis of a full-length positive-sense copy of the genome. The template for both processes is the negative-sense genomic RNA tightly encapsidated by the viral...
