  • Title: Sequence comparison of the 3' ends of a subgenomic RNA and the genomic RNAs of barley stripe mosaic virus.
    Author: Stanley J, Hanau R, Jackson AO.
    Journal: Virology; 1984 Dec; 139(2):375-83. PubMed ID: 6516216.
    Abstract:
    All strains of barley stripe mosaic virus examined encapsidate small amounts of an 800-nucleotide (NT) gamma-subgenomic (sg) RNA. This sgRNA has been isolated from genomic (g) RNAs of the Type and North Dakota 18 (ND18) strains and the sequence of these RNAs has been compared near the 3' end. The immediate 3' termini of the gRNAs terminate in the icosomer-GGUCCCCCAAGGGAAGACCAOH-3' and differ from the sgRNAs, which are polyadenylated. The poly(A) tracts of the sgRNAs are heterogeneous with lengths ranging from 10 to greater than 150 NT. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of complementary (c) DNAs transcribed in the presence of dideoxynucleotides reveals that the sgRNAs from Type and ND18 have almost identical sequences for at least 160 NT adjacent to the 5' side of the poly(A) region. This region of the sgRNA from the ND18 strain is nearly identical to a 95-NT sequence adjacent to a poly(A) tract located at the 3' end of a 2050-base pair cDNA cloned from the gamma-genomic RNA of ND18. These results suggest that the sequences encoding the sgRNA are located upstream of an internal poly(A) region situated more than 200 NT from the 3' end of the gamma-genomic RNA.
