Figure 1. VSV vsiRNAs are concentrated at the 5′ genomic terminus.

Figure 1

(A) RNA species produced during VSV infection. (−) strand genome is depicted in blue, (+) strand antigenome and mRNAs in red. (B) VSV vsiRNA size distribution (control library). (C) Distribution of 21 nt VSV vsiRNAs across the viral genome. vsiRNAs mapping to genomic strand are depicted in blue, antigenomic strand in red. (D) VSV vsiRNA size distribution between libraries depleted of RNase III enzymes. (E) Effect of RNase III enzyme depletion on 21 nt VSV vsiRNAs. vsiRNAs from control (black), Dcr-1 (orange), Dcr-2 (green) and Drosha (blue) depleted cells are compared. (F) VSV vsiRNA size distribution between libraries depleted of Argonaute proteins. (G) Effect of Argonaute depletion on 21 nt VSV vsiRNAs. vsiRNAs from control (black), Ago1 (orange), and Ago2 (green) depleted cells are compared. See also Figures S1, S2.
