Abstract
Methylation-protection studies with nucleocapsids from vesicular stomatitis virus indicate that the viral polymerase (L and NS proteins) contacts the genomic RNA template in the middle of the leader gene, 16-30 nucleotides from the 3'' terminus. The data suggest that the NS protein binds to the sequence .**GRAPHIC**. and may function as an initiator protein for transcription.Keywords
