The gene organization of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) varies within and among different organisms. This diversity is reflected in the maturation pathways of these small noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). The presence of noncoding RNAs in introns has implications for the biogenesis of both mature small RNAs and host mRNA.

A novel cleavage site within the potato leafroll virus P1 polyprotein.

J Gen Virol

Centre for Biomolecular Sciences, School of Biology, University of St Andrews, Fife KY16 9ST, UK.

To study the proteolytic processing of the potato leafroll virus replicase proteins, the multidomain P1 protein with a c-myc epitope tag attached at the N terminus was expressed in insect cells by using the baculovirus system. Western blotting showed that P1 was cleaved at a site upstream of the serine protease domain, in addition to the cleavage site downstream of the protease domain. Mutational analysis showed that the serine protease domain within P1 was responsible for this cleavage.
