The published sequence of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 strain HG52 neurovirulence gene RL1 indicated that, unlike the HSV-1 homologue, the gene contains a 154 bp intron. This intron contains six complete and one partial copy of a 19 bp repeat which encodes a stop codon; thus all three forward frames are blocked. By RT-PCR of poly(A)+ RNA, using primers on either side of the proposed intron, we have isolated a partial cDNA clone corresponding to the predicted spliced mRNA.
已发表的单纯疱疹病毒2型(HSV-2)HG52株神经毒力基因RL1的序列表明,与HSV-1同源物不同,该基因含有一个154 bp的内含子。这个内含子包含一个19 bp重复序列的六个完整拷贝和一个部分拷贝,该重复序列编码一个终止密码子;因此所有三个正向读码框都被阻断。通过使用位于推测内含子两侧的引物对poly(A)+ RNA进行RT-PCR,我们分离出了一个与预测的剪接mRNA相对应的部分cDNA克隆。
