Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus, II. An RNA Polymerase in the Virion*

David Baltimore 1, Alice S Huang 1, Martha Stampfer 1
PMCID: PMC283083  PMID: 4317920

Abstract

The virions of vesicular stomatitis virus contain an enzyme that catalyzes the incorporation of ribonucleotides into RNA. The product of the reaction is mainly RNA complementary in base sequence to that of vesicular stomatitis virus RNA.
