Identification of a Cryptic Prokaryotic Promoter within the cDNA Encoding the 5′ End of Dengue Virus RNA Genome
Figure 5
5′ cDNA sequence of Kunjin virus genome also contains an active cryptic bacterial promoter.
(A) Western blots of cell lysates of E. coli cells transformed with pD2-GFP and pKUN-GFP probed with an anti-GFP antibody. (B) A comparison of cDNA sequences encoding the 5′ portion of the KUN and DENV2 genomes. The ATGs encoding the authentic viral initiation codons are shown in bold. The ATGs encoding codons utilised by E. coli for translation initiation are underlined.
