Abstract

The cytoplasmically inherited killer virus of expresses its dsRNA genome via apparently uncapped viral transcripts produced in the cytoplasm of infected cells. Virions of this naturally temperature-sensitive virus can be added to cell-free translational extracts of uninfected yeast cells resulting in a reaction in which viral transcription and translation are coupled at 15 °C . In this reaction nucleotides are incorporated into full-length transcripts of the M and L-A dsRNA segments, with lower levels of incorporation into genomic RNA. In addition, incorporation of nucleotides is observed into a smaller RNA species showing no sequence relatedness to M or L-A.
