The target sizes of the templates for the synthesis of the genome-sized RNA and the 6 subgenomic RNA found in cells infected with mouse hepatitis virus strain A59 were determined by UV transcription mapping. Infected Sac(-) cells were irradiated at 6 h postinfection, the time when virus-specific RNA synthesis starts to increase exponentially. The effect of increasing UV doses on the synthesis of the individual RNA was determined by quantitation of these RNA after separation by agarose gel electrophoresis. The UV target sizes calculated for the templates were almost identical to the physical sizes of the RNA. Thus the subgenomic RNA are probably not processed or spliced from a common precursor. Rather, independent initiation of transcription on a genome-sized, negative-stranded template or on smaller templates evidently occurs.
