Abstract excerpt
A remarkable feature of the genomic RNAs of several plant viruses is the presence at the 3' end of a region that exhibits tRNA-like functions, including aminoacylation. The three genomic and single subgenomic RNAs of brome mosaic virus (BMV) accept tyrosine in vitro and in vivo, the smallest 3' f...
