Abstract excerpt
mRNAs transcribed from late promoters of several poxvirus genes contain 5' poly(A) sequences that are not complementary to the viral DNA. In contrast, early mRNAs containing 5' poly(A) sequences have not previously been identified. Modifications to the sequence of the promoter of an early gene of cowpox virus enable this promoter to direct the synthesis of RNAs containing 5' poly(A) sequences. When the sequence...
