Materials and Methods RNAs. RNA fragments were prepared by in vitro transcription from synthetic DNA templates by T7 RNA polym-erase (Milligan et al., 1987). Transcription reactions contained 40 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.1 at 37 C), 1 mM spermidine, 5 mM dithiothreitol, 50 Mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA), 0.1%(v/v) Triton X-100, and 80 mg/mL polyethylene glycol)(Mr 8000). Labeled RNAs were prepared in a 40-mL transcription reaction with 1 mM each of three NTPs (using either UTP or BrUTP), 0.25 mM [a-32P] NTP (5 MCi), 6 mM MgCl2, 100-400 nM template, and 0.05-0.1 mg/mL T7 RNA polymerase. Nucleotides, including 5-BrUTP, were purchased from Sigma. RNA fragments were gel-purified by electro-phoresis on 20% denaturing polyacrylamide gels run in 90 mM Tris-borate/2 mM EDTA (TBE), cut out, eluted overnight in 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8)/l mM EDTA, and ethanol-precipitated in the presence of 0.4 M ammonium acetate. Coat Protein Expression System. The overexpression system of Studier and Moffat (1986) was used to isolatelarge amounts of phage coatprotein. A derivative of plasmid pT7-2 (US Biochemical Corp.) was used which contains a 832 bp Nrul-Nael fragment encoding the 3'end of the phage matu-ration protein and the entire coat protein gene under the control of a phage T7 promotor. The upstream sequences (Nrul-Xbal) were derived from pSIU510 (Parker & Precup, 1986), while the coat protein gene (Xbal-Nael) was subcloned from pCOAT184 (Berkhout, 1986). This plasmid, pTCT5, was used to transform BL21 (DE3) which contains a single copy of the bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase gene integrated into the bacterial genome (Studier & Moffat, 1986) under control of the lac promotor. Induction with isopropyl/3-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) resulted in high levels of
