Abstract
Recent in vivo studies have revealed that the subgenomic promoter (sgp) in brome mosaic bromovirus (BMV) RNA3 supports frequent homologous recombination events (R. Wierzchoslawski, A. Dzianott, and J. Bujarski, J. Virol. 78:8552-8564, 2004). In this paper, we describe an sgp-driven in vitro system that supports efficient RNA3 crossovers. A 1:1 mixture of two (-)-sense RNA3 templates was copied with either a BMV replicase (RdRp) preparation or recombinant BMV protein 2a. The BMV replicase enzyme supported a lower recombination frequency than 2a, demonstrating a role of other viral and/or host factors. The described in vitro system will allow us to study the mechanism of homologous RNA recombination.Keywords
