Abstract
This paper describes the expression of the chicken anemia virus (CAV) genome, a recently characterized single-stranded circular-DNA virus of a new type [Noteborn et al., J. Virol. 65 (1991) 3131-3139]. The major transcript from the CAV genome is an unspliced mRNA of about 2100 nucleotides (nt). Its transcription start point and poly(A)-addition site are located at nt 354 and 2317 of the CAV sequence, respectively. In vitro translation experiments provide evidence that the major CAV open reading frame encodes a 52-kDa protein by using the fifth AUG as a start codon of the unspliced CAV mRNA.Entities:
