Abstract excerpt
The full-length retroviral transcript serves as genomic RNA for progeny virions, as an mRNA for structural proteins and enzymes, and as a pre-mRNA substrate for splicing that yields subgenomic mRNAs that encode other essential proteins. Thus, RNA splicing to form subgenomic mRNAs must be incomplete or regulated in order to preserve some of the full-length transcripts. We have used the avian sarcoma virus system...
