The mRNA coding for the Sendai virus P and C proteins was located on the viral genome using cloned DNA and the relevant regions of the DNA were sequenced. The nucleotide sequence revealed 2 overlapping open reading frames that could code for proteins of 568 and 204 amino acids. Primer extension and S1 nuclease mapping studies detected only a single 1.894 kilobase mRNA from this region. Hybrid arrest of translation studies using restriction fragments verified the overlapping nature of these genes. Sequence homologies at the beginning of 3 Sendai virus cistrons suggest that these genes may have arisen by duplication from a common ancestor, possibly an influenza-like virus gene.
