The location of the first AUG codons in cowpea mosaic virus RNAs.

چکیده
We have made use of the known sequence of the 5' ends of both CPMV RNAs to synthesise an oligodeoxynucleotide which can prime second-strand DNA synthesis on full-length cDNA copies of both RNAs. By priming synthesis in the presence of dideoxynucleoside triphosphates, we have determined the positions of the first AUG codons in each RNA. These occur at positions 115 and 207 on M and B RNA respectively. By using a cloned double-stranded DNA fragment derived from near the 5' end of M RNA as a primer additional sequence from the 5' terminal region of M RNA has been obtained.

Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter-controlled DNA copies of cowpea mosaic virus RNAs are infectious on plants.
Clones have been constructed that contain full-length cDNA copies of cowpea mosaic virus RNA1 and RNA2, downstream of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. The clones, when linearized downstream of the viral sequences, give rise to cowpea mosaic virus-like symptoms when inoculated onto cowpea plants. Viral RNA and virions can be detected in the inoculated plants, demonstrating that the clo...
متن کاملExpression of the two nested overlapping reading frames of turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA is enhanced by a 5' cap and by 5' and 3' viral sequences.
The translation efficiency of an mRNA molecule is typically determined by its 5'- and/or 3'-untranslated regions (UTRs). Previously, we have found that the 3'-UTR of Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) RNA enhances translation synergistically with a 5' cap. Here, we use a luciferase reporter system in cowpea protoplasts to show that the 5' 217 nucleotides from TYMV genomic RNA enhance expression ...
متن کاملRNA2 of grapevine fanleaf virus: sequence analysis and coat protein cistron location.
The nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA2 (3774 nucleotides) of grapevine fanleaf virus strain F13 was determined from overlapping cDNA clones and its genetic organization was deduced. Two rapid and efficient methods were used for cDNA cloning of the 5' region of RNA2. The complete sequence contained only one long open reading frame of 3555 nucleotides (1184 codons, 131K product). The analysi...
متن کاملBinding of ribosomes to 5'-terminal leader sequences of eukaryotic messenger RNAs.
Tobacco mosaic virus and turnip yellow mosaic virus genome RNAs, which have long (greater than or equal to 69 nucleotides) 5'-terminal leader sequences preceding the AUG initiation codon, can form disome initiation complexes when incubated with a wheat germ extract and sparsomycin. In tobacco mosaic virus RNA, whereas one ribosome in such complexes presumably occupies the AUG-containing initiat...
متن کاملThe sequence between nucleotides 161 and 512 of cowpea mosaic virus M RNA is able to support internal initiation of translation in vitro.
Cowpea mosaic virus M RNA is translated in vitro as well as in vivo into two C-coterminal polyproteins of Mr 105K and 95K. Initiation of translation of the 95K protein gene occurs at an AUG codon at position 512 of M RNA, 351 nucleotides downstream of the initiation codon of the 105K protein gene at position 161. By employing an in vitro transcription and translation system it was determined th...
