Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was shown to use alfalfa mosaic
virus (AMV) RNAs as cap donors in vivo during a mixed infection in
Nicotiana benthamiana. By use of nested reverse
transcription-PCR, TSWV N and NSs mRNAs provided with capped leader
sequences derived from all four AMV RNAs could be cloned and sequenced.
The sequence specificity of the putative TSWV endonuclease involved is discussed.
