The host-cell derived RNA primer sequences at the 5'' termini of mRNA of influenza A and B viruses, obtained from sequences of 29 c[complementary]DNA clones, were compared. This was done for clones of 5 different genome segments from 4 strains of influenza A and B virus. The results indicate that host RNA primers containing a 3''-terminal Py-G-C-A sequence before the presumed endonuclease cleavage site are preferred for use as primers in influenza virus mRNA synthesis. Primer-extension analyses of the 5''-terminal heterogeneous sequences of in vivo synthesized mRNA confirm the preference for G-C-A-terminated primer fragments, with some differences noted between the transcripts of types A and B influenza virus genome segments.
