RESUMO
Complete cDNA copies of each of the brome mosaic virus genomic RNAs (3.2, 2.8, and 2.1 kilobases in length) were cloned in a novel transcription vector, pPM1, designed to provide exact control of the transcription initiation site. After cleavage at a unique EcoRI site immediately downstream of the inserted cDNA, these clones can be transcribed in vitro by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase to yield complete copies of the brome mosaic virus RNAs. Dideoxy sequencing of 5' transcript cDNA runoff products and direct sequencing of 32P-3'-end-labeled transcripts show that such transcripts initiate at the same 5' position as natural viral RNA and terminate within the EcoRI runoff site after copying the entire viral RNA sequence. When synthesized in the presence of m7GpppG, the transcripts bear the natural capped 5' terminus of brome mosaic virus RNAs. Such transcripts direct the in vitro translation of proteins which coelectrophorese with the translation products of natural brome mosaic virus RNAs. pPM1 should facilitate in vitro production of other viral and nonviral RNAs.
