Abstract:
Virus-like particles (VLPs) of 40 nm diameter were isolated from the yeast-like fungus Dipodascus magnusii. These VLPs copurify with several linear double-stranded RNA molecules of different size. We have found some polymorphism in both the length and the number of these dsRNAs among six D. magnusii strains. Analysis of CsCl gradient-purified VLPs on PAGE/SDS electrophoresis showed one major protein component with an apparent molecular weight of 75 kDa.
