Adding Genes to the RNA Genome of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus: Positional Effects on Stability of Expression

Abstract excerpt

Gene expression of the nonsegmented negative strand (NNS) RNA viruses is controlled primarily at the level of transcription by the position of the genes relative to the single transcriptional promoter. We tested this principle by generating engineered variants of vesicular stomatitis virus in which an additional, identical, transcriptional unit was added to the genome at each of the viral gene junctions. Analysis...
