Blocked 5′ Termini in Brome Mosaic Virus RNA

Ranjit Dasgupta †, Fumio Harada †, Paul Kaesberg *
PMCID: PMC515545  PMID: 176464

Abstract

All four components of brome mosaic virus RNA have m7G5′ ppp 5′Gp as their 5′ terminus. The m7G can be removed by β-elimination, resulting in the conversion to pppGp.
