Abstract:
The cDNA copies of M2-1, the larger heat-cleavage product of M2 double-stranded (ds) RNA, have been synthesized, cloned, sequenced and expressed in yeast. This sequence, in combination with the known terminal sequence of M2-1 dsRNA, identifies a translation reading frame for a 362-amino-acid protein of 38.7 kDa, similar in size to the one of several protein species produced from M2-1 dsRNA in vitro translation. The expression of this cDNA clone in yeast confers both killer and immunity phenotypes.
