Influenza viral mRNA contains internal N6-methyladenosine and 5'-terminal 7-methylguanosine in cap structures

Abstract

Influenza viral complementary RNA (cRNA), i.e., viral mRNA was radioactive when purified from the cytoplasmic fraction of cordycepin-treated canine kidney cells that were incubated with [methyl-3H]methionine during infection. Approximately 55 to 60% of the methyl-3H radioactivity was in internal N6-methyladenosine, a feature distinguishing this mRNA from those viral mRNA's that are known to be synthesized in the cytoplasm. The remaining methyl-3H radioactivity was in 5'-terminal cap structures that consisted of 7-methylguanosine in pyrophosphate linkage to 2'-o-methyladenosine, N6, 2'-O-dimethyladenosine, or 2'-O-methylguanosine. Methylated adenosine was the predominant penultimate nucleoside in caps, suggesting that cRNA synthesis in infected cells initiates preferentially with adenosine at the 5' end. In contrast to cRNA, influenza virion RNA segments extracted from purified virus contained mainly 5'-terminal ppA and no detectable cap structures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
