- Abstract
Summary. An N-terminal genome-activating peptide of 25 amino acid residues of alfalfa mosaic virus coat protein was unable to activate the incomplete viral genome consisting of RNAs 1 and 2. The messenger release hypothesis predicts that RNA 3 must complement such an inoculum in order to produce RNA 4 that will trigger the process. This is shown indeed to be the case.
