We purified genome-length RI without contamination of any detectable level of MHV subgenomic mRNAs. We used RNase protection assays to look for nascent subgenomic mRNAs containing the leader sequence in the genome-length RI. If leader-sequence-containing subgenomic mRNA 6 elongates on the genome-length RI, then the RNase protection assay using probe 1 and purified radiolabeled genome-length RI should produce a radiolabeled 300-nt-long RNA fragment (300-nt fragment) that corresponds to the 5Ј-end 300 nt of nascent mRNA 6 (see Fig. 3A ). RNase A treatment of the gel-purified genome-length RI produced RF 1 (Fig. 2B) , and the RNase protection assay demonstrated the presence of nascent leader-sequence-containing subgenomic mRNAs in the genome-length RI. ./cache/cord-273379-w8vy5rl8.txt ./txt/cord-273379-w8vy5rl8.txt
