Structure of the 19 S RNA transcript encoded by the cauliflower mosaic virus genome
Turnip leaves infected with cauliflower mosaic virus accumulate several virus-derived RNA species. These include a large transcript (>25 S) and a 19 S transcript. R-looping and diazo-cellulose filter hybridization techniques show that the 19 S RNA is derived from a contiguous segment of the CaMV...

Summary: | Turnip leaves infected with cauliflower mosaic virus accumulate several virus-derived RNA species. These include a large transcript (>25 S) and a 19 S transcript. R-looping and diazo-cellulose filter hybridization techniques show that the 19 S RNA is derived from a contiguous segment of the CaMV genome which includes
EcoR1-b and -d DNA fragments. This region encodes the synthesis of a nonvirion protein called P66. The 3′ end of the 19 S transcript is polyadenylated and terminates near the single strand break in the α-strand of the genome. The 5′ end of the transcript starts in or near the
EcoR1-d fragment, near position zero on the map described by
Hull and Howell (1978). |
