Polymerase begins at 3’ end because that’s where the template is being read and stops at the end of a transcription-regulating sequence (TRS) 2. Polymerase then pauses and disassociates the nascent RNA chain from TRS> jumps to TRS located at the end of the leader sequence (______) - Dissociated nascent RNA chain forms RNA-RNA hybrids of complementary sequences at 5’ TRS

transcription-regulating sequences
Each of the subgenomic ‘-‘ strands are used to make a ‘+’ strand mRNA, then transcript it into proteins - This discontious model explain recombination between viral genoms: 1. Viral RNa polymerase can switch between two different positive-strand genome RNAs if they are both in the same cell 2. Could be two different virus strains infecting the same cell, or mutations in the virus genome during replication 3. Template switching may help with genome repair and/or generate new viral strains/variants >>After dissociation, polymerase has to find another template or transcription will abort> can lead to template switch Section 1.7 - Assembly of virions takes place at intracellular membrane structures- ERGIC (endoplasmic reticulum Golgi intermediate compartment); involves in transport, processing and modification of proteins. Generally located in the perinuclear (around or near the nucleus) region of the cell
