We sequenced the 5' and 3' RNA termini of 16 defective interfering (DI) particles of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) isolated at intervals from persistent infections and from a series of undiluted lytic passages. All DI RNAs exhibited complementary termini, but sequences internal to these termini were extensively rearranged in a variety of ways. Despite extensive rearrangement, these internal sequences (in addition to the termini) apparently are important for DI particle interference properties. Some of these DI particles are derived from multiple intrastrand and interstrand recombination events, and the generation of each can be explained by current replicase error models. During viral evolution in persistent and acute infections, DI particles with specific termini base substitutions are selected. One DI particle exhibits a remarkable clustering of specific A----G (and complementary U----C) substitutions, apparently as a result of repetitive misincorporations by an error-prone viral polymerase complex.
