Abstract

The sequences required for directing mRNA transcription and genome replication in rinderpest virus appear to be confined to short (50-100 base) sequences at each end of the viral genome. Minigenomes containing these sequences, and one or more reporter genes, are replicated and transcribed by helper virus, or using viral proteins expressed from plasmids. We are mutating individual residues and blocks of residues in the viral sequences and studying the effects on transcription of the reporter genes and replication of the minigenome.
