FIG. 6.
Replication of MetNS3 RNAs with less-stable RNA structures downstream of the initiator AUG codon. (A) Diagram of the sequences for the MetNS3 RNAs as described for Fig. 3. ad3.7, ad3.8, and ad3.10 were engineered to contain the indicated mutations. (B) Autoradiogram of RNA accumulation in transfected MDBK cells as described for Fig. 3. The percentages of radiolabeled sg RNAs relative to that of ad3.4 (100%) are indicated. Values are normalized to transfection efficiency and total 18S rRNA.
