cDNA clones of the largest RNA transcript of the canine distemper and measles morbilliviruses were characterized. This presumably codes for the L protein of these viruses. mRNA 4 was identified as coding for the haemagglutinin protein of measles virus. From an analysis of readthrough transcripts representing tandem copies of two or three genes we established a transcriptional map and the gene order on the negative strand genome of the morbilliviruses to be 3'-N-P + C-M-F-H-L-5'. The data exclude the presence of small intervening genes between the six major genes of morbilliviruses and indicate the gene order to be similar to that of Sendai virus and different from that of simian virus 5.
犬瘟热病毒和麻疹病毒最大RNA转录本的cDNA克隆得到了鉴定。这可能编码这些病毒的L蛋白。mRNA 4被鉴定为编码麻疹病毒的血凝素蛋白。通过对代表两个或三个基因串联拷贝的通读转录本进行分析，我们建立了麻疹病毒负链基因组的转录图谱和基因顺序为3'-N-P+C-M-F-H-L-5'。这些数据排除了麻疹病毒六个主要基因之间存在小间隔基因的可能性，并表明基因顺序与仙台病毒相似，与猿猴病毒5不同。
