| Abstract | Sequences with strong similarity to internal control regions 1 and 2 (ICR1 and -2; A and B boxes) of tRNA genes are found at the 5' termini of the genomic RNAs of brome mosaic virus (BMV) and other plant viruses. The functionality of these motifs was studied by introducing point mutations into the ICR2-like sequence of pRNA-2 M/S, a BMV RNA-2 deletion mutant that replicates in the presence of RNAs-1 and -2 but does not encode a functional viral protein. The accumulation of positive-strand progeny from pRNAs bearing single and double base substitutions was 70 to 91% lower than that of the wild type, while the addition of single bases at position 8 of this motif reduced replication by 80%. These dramatic decreases in positive-strand synthesis paralleled decreases in transcription seen (C. Traboni, G. Ciliberto, and R. Cortese, Cell 36:179-187, 1984) from a tRNAPro gene containing similar mutations, suggesting comparable functions for the ICR regions in protein factor binding and demonstrating that a wild-type composition of the virus ICR2-like motif is required for proper RNA replication. Substitutions introduced at bases surrounding the ICR2 motif yielded levels of pRNA replication that differed, depending on the maintenance of a putative 5' stem-loop structure in the positive strand of the viral genome. Mutations disrupting this positive-strand stem-loop while maintaining the integrity of the complementary negative-strand structure reduced pRNA replication by 85 to 97%. In contrast, disruption of the negative-strand structure while maintaining the positive-strand stem-loop did not reduce pRNA replication. Similar positive-strand structures can be predicted to form from 5' sequences of cucumber mosaic virus (strain Q) and cowpea chlorotic mottle virus RNAs-1 and -2, supporting the concept that such structures comprise an integral part of virus genomic positive-strand promoters. The requirement of a stem-loop structure present on the positive-strand provided the basis for a new model describing how these sequence and structural elements act in the production of virus positive-strand RNA. |

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.
