| Abstract | Genome analogs ("minigenomes") of Sendai and measles viruses replicate efficiently only if their nucleotide length is an even multiple of six, a requirement called the rule of six (P. Calain and L. Roux, J. Virol. 67:4822-4830, 1993; M. S. Sidhu, J. Chan, K. Kaelin, P. Spielhofer, F. Radecke, H. Schneider, M. Masurekar, P. C. Dowling, M. A. Billeter, and S. A. Udem, Virology 208:800-807, 1995). The existence of a comparable requirement was tested for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which also is a member of family Paramyxoviridae and whose natural genome length also is a multiple of six. An internally truncated analog of RSV positive-sense replicative intermediate RNA (antigenome) bearing the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene as a reporter was synthesized from cDNA in vitro. This RNA was transfected into cells which were infected with RSV as a helper. Miniantigenomic RNA was indistinguishable from previously studied negative-sense minigenome RNA in its ability to participate in transcription, RNA replication, and incorporation into transmissible particles. Sixteen miniantigenomes which were of slightly different lengths and which in aggregate represented multiples of a wide range of integers including 1 to 15 were constructed. During transfection and two serial passages, the various miniantigenomes were essentially indistinguishable with regard to the efficiency of transcription, RNA replication, and packaging into transmissible particles. Progeny minigenomes of six different mutants were recovered postpassage, copied into cDNA, cloned, and sequenced completely. The length of each of these RNAs was found to have remained unchanged during replication and passage. Thus, RSV transcription and replication appear to lack the requirement that the template length be an even multiple of an integer such as six, which for Sendai and measles viruses is obligatory for nucleocapsid function. Each of the in vitro-synthesized miniantigenomes used in transfection contained a nonviral extension of three nucleotides, GGG, on the 5' (leader) end contributed by the T7 promoter. The termini of the recovered minigenomes were examined for five mutants by RNA circularization followed by cDNA synthesis, amplification, cloning, and sequencing. Unexpectedly, each recovered minigenome contained the complement of this nonviral extension on the 3' (leader) end, showing that it had been faithfully copied and maintained during RNA replication and passage. The nonviral trinucleotide did not appear to affect the activity of the template. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
