A cDNA containing the complete genome of satellite tobacco necrosis virus (STNV) RNA was constructed and cloned into a plasmid vector containing the T7 polymerase promotor. A second clone containing the first 54 nucleotides from the 5' end, which includes the ribosome binding site, was also constructed. RNAs were transcribed from these plasmids (pSTNV1239 and pSTNV54) and tested for their ability to bind to wheat germ 40 S ribosomal subunits in the presence of wheat germ initiation factors eIF-4A, eIF-4F, eIF-4G, eIF-3, eIF-2, Met-tRNA, ATP, and guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imino)triphosphate (GMP-PNP). Maximal binding of the STNV RNA transcribed from pSTNV1239 is obtained only in the presence of all the initiation factors and ATP. In contrast, close to maximal binding of STNV RNA transcribed from pSTNV54 is obtained in the absence of eIF-4A, eIF-4F, eIF-4G, and ATP. A series of deletion clones from the 3' end of the STNV cDNA was prepared, and the requirements for binding to 40 S ribosomal subunits were determined. STNV RNAs containing more than 134 nucleotides from the 5' end require eIF-4A, eIF-4F, eIF-4G, and ATP for maximal binding to 40 S ribosomal subunits, whereas STNV RNAs containing 86 nucleotides or less no longer require ATP and these factors. These findings indicate that a region 3' to the initiation codon affects the requirements for eIF-4A, eIF-4F, eIF-4G, and ATP.
