Abstract: More
M2 mRNA was produced in
G11C mutant virus-infected cells than in wild-type-virus-infected cells, and there was little
M2 mRNA and none at all in
G145A and
G52C mutant virus-infected ones, respectively.
Abstract: On the other hand, mutants with the mutation
G11C (at the 3' end of exon of the mRNA3 5' splice site),
G52C (for the first nucleotide of the intron for
M2 mRNA), or
G145A (at the 3' end of the exon of mRNA4) were rescued, although they had significantly attenuated growth rates.
