Messenger RNA for the coat protein of tobacco mosaic virus

Messenger RNA for the coat protein of tobacco mosaic virus

T R Hunter et al. Nature. .

Abstract

TMV RNA is not an efficient template for translation of the viral coat protein, in spite of containing nucleotide sequences coding for the protein. Efficient translation requires the prior synthesis within infected cells of a smaller RNA carrying only a portion of the information encoded in the whole genome.
