RESUMO
Poliovirus infectious RNA can be synthesized in vitro using phage DNA-dependent RNA-polymerases. These synthetic transcripts contain several extra nucleotides at the 5′ end, which are deleted during replication to generate authentic viral genomes. We removed those 5′-end extra nucleotides utilizing a hammerhead ribozyme to produce transcripts with accurate 5′ ends. These transcripts replicate substantially more rapidly in cell culture, demonstrating no lag before replication; they also replicate more efficiently in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in in vitro translation-replication cell extracts. In both systems, an exact 5′ end is necessary for synthesis of positive-strand RNA but not negative-strand RNA.
