Hepatitis E virus replicons containing the neomycin resistance gene expressed from open reading frames (ORFs) 2 and 3 were transfected into Huh-7 cells, and stable cell lines containing functional replicons were selected by constant exposure to G418 sulfate. Northern blot analyses detected full-length replicon RNA and a single subgenomic RNA. This subgenomic RNA, which was capped, initiated at nucleotide 5122 downstream of the first two methionine codons in ORF3 and was bicistronic; two closely spaced methionine codons in different reading frames were used for the initiation of ORF3 and ORF2 translation.
将含有从开放阅读框(ORF)2和3表达的新霉素抗性基因的戊型肝炎病毒复制子转染到Huh-7细胞中,并通过持续暴露于硫酸G418来选择含有功能性复制子的稳定细胞系。Northern印迹分析检测到全长复制子RNA和单个亚基因组RNA。这种加帽的亚基因组RNA在ORF3中前两个甲硫氨酸密码子下游的核苷酸5122处起始,并且是双顺反子的;不同阅读框中的两个紧密间隔的甲硫氨酸密码子用于ORF3和ORF2翻译的起始。
