title: The gene organisation of a small RNA-containing insect virus: comparison with that of mammalian picornaviruses.
abstract: The coding regions of an insect virus, cricket paralysis virus, have been mapped using pactamycin. The results suggest that the genome of this virus functions as a polycistronic mRNA, the structural proteins being encoded by the 5' end of the RNA in an order similar to those of mammalian picornaviruses. High-molecular-weight proteins of unknown function map at the 3' end of the genome.
