Tomato spotted wilt virus transcriptase in vitro displays a preference for cap donors with multiple base complementarity to the viral template (2005)
Journal Article
van Knippenberg, I., Lamine, M., Goldbach, R., & Kormelink, R. (2005). Tomato spotted wilt virus transcriptase in vitro displays a preference for cap donors with multiple base complementarity to the viral template. Virology, 335(1), 122-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.virol.2005.01.041

Transcription of segmented negative-strand RNA viruses is initiated by cap snatching: a host mRNA is cleaved generally at 10–20 nt from its 5′ capped end and the resulting capped leader used to prime viral transcription. For Tomato spotted wilt virus... Read More about Tomato spotted wilt virus transcriptase in vitro displays a preference for cap donors with multiple base complementarity to the viral template.
