Abstract excerpt
Paramyxoviruses cotranscriptionally edit their P gene mRNA by the programmed insertion of G residues into a short G run contained within a larger purine run, via pseudo-templated transcription. The templates for paramyxovirus transcription are genome nucleocapsids in which each nucleoprotein subunit is associated with 6 nt, and only genomes whose lengths are multiples of 6 are found naturally or are replicated...
