Polarity analysis of the ELVd RNAs that accumulated in E. coli cells that co-express ELVd RNA and eggplant tRNA ligase. RNAs were separated by PAGE, stained with ethidium bromide, transferred to membranes and hybridized with RNA radioactive probes to detect ELVd RNAs of plus (a) and minus (b) polarities. Lane 1, total RNAs purified from an ELVd-infected eggplant; lanes 2 to 5, ELVd RNAs purified from E. coli cells transformed with pLELVd and p15tRnlSm. To better appreciate the differential hybridization with both ELVd probes, ELVd RNAs from E. coli (lane 5) were loaded serially diluted 1/10 in lane 4, 1/100 in lane 3 and 1/1000 in lane 2. The positions and sizes (in nt) of RNA markers are indicated on the left of both panels. The positions of monomeric circular and linear ELVd RNAs are indicated on the right of both panels.
