The interaction of TMV RNA with the disk aggregate of TMV protein at the initiation of assembly has been studied by using the techniques of RNA sequencing. The 5' end group has been identified, and shown not to be protected in the early stages of assembly from accessibility to nuclease digestion. A population of RNA fragments of average length 250 nucleotides, originating from a unique region of TMV RNA, is encapsidated by limited assembly, and sufficient sequence information is available to identify certain unusual features. The protected region does not contain highly reiterated simple repeating sequences, but may contain more complicated repeats. The length and complexity of the nucleation region may reflect adaptation to the efficient mediation of the conformational change from disk to helix of TMV protein, besides a requirement for binding to the disk, and this may be an important part of the mechanism of specificity in the nucleation of assembly.
