BACKGROUND The genome of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been studied extensively, particularly in the UL/b' region. In this study, transcripts of one of the UL/b' genes, UL146, were identified in 3 HCMV isolates obtained from urine samples of congenitally infected infants. METHODS Northern blot hybridization, cDNA library screening, and RACE-PCR were used. RESULTS All sequences of clones from a cDNA library were about 3225 bp in length with the same 5' and 3' ends. The results were accordant with that analyzed by Northen-blot and RACE-PCR in three HCMV clinical isolates. The transcript initiated from the region upstream of UL146 flanking region and terminated just downstream of UL132 including UL146, UL147, UL147A, UL148, and UL132 ORFs. Treatment of the infected cells with phosphonoacetic acid inhibited its transcription. CONCLUSIONS UL146 ORF was transcribed with 4 downstream ORFs from UL147 to UL132 at true late kinetics. The transcript of UL146 initiated at 73nt upstream of UL146 and terminated just downstream of UL132 in the 3 clinical isolates.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
