Abstract excerpt
The temperature-sensitive mutant ts-1 of influenza virus A/WSN/33 carries mutations in the gene encoding RNA polymerase PB2 subunit. Effect of temperature on various steps of viral RNA synthesis was examined using disrupted virions of ts-1 mutant. The initiation of RNA synthesis with dinucleotide ApG primer was not affected by elevated temperature, whereas that with primer RNA containing 5'-terminal cap-1...
