title: Sequence of a RNA templated by the 3'-OH RNA terminus of defective interfering particles of vesicular stomatitis virus.
abstract: We have sequenced the endogenous RNA polymerase product produced by disrupted purified virions of vesicular stomatitis virus defective interfering particles by using the newer one-dimensional rapid gel sequencing techniques and confirming this with a modified two-dimensional gel vectoring technique. The sequence of this 46-nucleotide RNA is: 5'(pp)pACGAAGACCACAAAACCA-GAUAAAAAAUAAAAACCACAAGAGGG(U)COH3'. We infer that this sequence is identical to the sequence at the 5' end of infectious vesicular stomatitis virus RNA and is complementary to the sequence of the 3'-OH terminus of this defective interfering particle genome RNA.
