Requirement of a genome-associated protein of tobacco ringspot virus for infectivity but not for in vitro translation.
Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) RNA incubated with Pronase to render it incapable of initiating infection retained its messenger activity in a wheat germ in vitro translation system. Furthermore, polypeptides synthesized by the Pronase-treated and untreated RNAs were indistinguishable.
