RESUMO
The 3'-terminal sequences of the 10 double-stranded RNA genome segments of bluetongue virus (serotypes 10 and 11) were determined. The double-stranded RNAs were 3' labeled with [5'-32P]pCp and resolved into 10 segments by electrophoresis. After denaturation, the two complementary strands of segments 4 through 10 were resolved into fast- and slow-migrating species by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and their 3' end sequences were determined. Complete RNase T1 digestion of the individual 3'-labeled double-stranded RNA segments yielded two labeled oligonucleotides, one of which migrated faster than the other on 20% polyacrylamide-7 M urea gels. Sequence analyses of the two oligonucleotides of segments 4 through 10 confirmed the corresponding RNA sequence data. For RNA segments 1 through 3 the oligonucleotide analyses gave comparable results. The 3'-terminal sequences of the fast-migrating RNA species were HOCAAUUU. . . ; those of the slow-migrating RNA species were HOCAUUCACA. . . . Similar results were obtained for double-stranded RNA from bluetongue virus serotypes 10 and 11. Beyond the common termini, the sequences for each segment varied considerably.
