Influenza virus messenger RNAs are incomplete transcripts of the genome RNAs. 1977

A J Hay, and G Abraham, and J J Skehel, and J C Smith, and P Fellner

The results of ribonuclease T1 oligonucleotide fingerprint analyses indicate that influenza virus messenger RNAs are incomplete transcripts of the corresponding genome RNAs and that in this respect they differ from the unpolyadenylated virus specific complementary RNAs obtained from infected cells. From the position of the untranscribed oligonucleotide in the virus RNA sequence and the ability or inability of the different transcripts to protect the 5' terminal nucleotide of virus RNAs against nuclease S1 digestion, it is concluded that whereas the unpolyadenylated cRNAs are complete transcripts, the polyadenylated messenger RNAs lack sequences complementary to the 5' end of the genome molecules.

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. Messenger RNA,Messenger RNA, Polyadenylated,Poly(A) Tail,Poly(A)+ RNA,Poly(A)+ mRNA,RNA, Messenger, Polyadenylated,RNA, Polyadenylated,mRNA,mRNA, Non-Polyadenylated,mRNA, Polyadenylated,Non-Polyadenylated mRNA,Poly(A) RNA,Polyadenylated mRNA,Non Polyadenylated mRNA,Polyadenylated Messenger RNA,Polyadenylated RNA,RNA, Polyadenylated Messenger,mRNA, Non Polyadenylated
D012367 RNA, Viral Ribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses. Viral RNA
