We have demonstrated by primer elongation and cap analysis that mature vaccinia virus late transcripts are discontinuously synthesized. We have shown that RNA transcripts from a translocated 11K and from the authentic 11K and 4b late promoters are extended by approximately 35 nucleotides beyond the "start site" determined by S1 mapping using vaccinia genomic DNA as a probe. Sequencing of the RNA and of the first strand cDNA reveal that a homopolymeric poly(A) sequence is linked to the 5' terminus of the RNA transcripts. S1 mapping of RNA transcripts with a DNA probe containing an A-stretch, replacing promoter sequences upstream of position -1, confirms the existence of a poly(A) leader of approximately 35 A-residues.
我们通过引物延伸和帽分析证明,成熟痘苗病毒晚期转录本是不连续合成的。我们已经表明,来自易位的11K以及真实的11K和4b晚期启动子的RNA转录本,比使用痘苗基因组DNA作为探针通过S1图谱确定的“起始位点”延伸了约35个核苷酸。RNA和第一链cDNA的测序表明,一个同聚的聚(A)序列与RNA转录本的5'末端相连。用含有A链的DNA探针(取代-1位置上游的启动子序列)对RNA转录本进行S1图谱分析,证实了存在约35个A残基的聚(A)前导序列。
