PG - 961-5 AB - In combination of utilizing a leader specific primer and primers complementary to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) genome through RT-PCR, the leader junction sequences of subgenomic mRNA (sg mRNA) was identified from a Taiwanese isolate of PRRSV. Thirty-six cDNA clones derived from sg mRNAs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 were determined. The junction sequences analyzed from different sg mRNA were found to contain a similar 5 nucleotide sequence motif, (U/G)(C/A)(A/G)CC. The distance between the junction site and the translation initiation codon of the down stream open reading frame varied from 4 to 226 nucleotides. Minor heterogenecity was observed in the nucleotide sequence surrounding the junctions from all six sg mRNA analyzed. However, for sg mRNA 7, two junction sites approximately 103 nucleotides apart from each other were identified. The additional site is a new junction not previously reported in sg mRNA 7 from other PRRSV strains.
