Abstract:
The complete nucleotide sequence of cucumber mosaic virus-associated (satellite) RNA 5 (CARNA 5) strain D has been determined. The molecule is 335 residues long and is capped at its 5' extremity. There were minor variations in the sequence of different preparations of the satellite RNA. Otherwise, no unusual features of secondary structure or sequence are present. CARNA 5 (D) contains a number of possible initiation and termination codons for protein synthesis. Study of CARNA 5 isolated from other strains of cucumber mosaic virus suggests that sequence variation of the molecule from one strain to another is very limited.
