Initiation sites of Rous sarcoma virus RNA-directed DNA synthesis in vitro

L M Cashion et al. Nature. .

Abstract

Rous sarcoma virus DNA synthesis in disrupted virions is initiated mainly at a site about 200 nucleotides or less from the 5' terminus, but other initiation sites throughtout the RNA seem to be used as well. No AUG triplet occurs within a 5' terminal segment of about 25 nucleotides.
