The complete primary structure was found to consist of 2504 nucleotides. One putative open reading frame (ORF), between nucleotides 2412 and 1444 in the 5′-proximal region of the virus complementary-sense RNA, encoded a 322 amino acid protein with an M r of 35134 that was identified as the coat protein. The other ORF, between nucleotides 66 and 701 in the 5′-proximal region of the virus-sense RNA, encoded a 211 amino acid protein with an M r of 23 874. An intergenic non-coding region (742 nucleotides) between the two ORFs contains oligo(A)- and oligo(U)-rich regions that can be arranged into a 126 base pair stem configuration. These results suggest that RSV RNA 3 has an ambisense coding strategy., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-72-4-763
