Received February 20, 1987. Accepted March 20, 1987.
A 67-nucleotide portion of the non-coding, 5'-leader sequence of tobacco mosaic virus RNA [defined as 
' (Gr. omega prime)] has been shown to enhance the translation of contiguous foreign gene transcripts both in vitro and in vivo. Chemically-synthesized ', containing convenient linker sequences, was inserted into derivatives of an in vitro transcription plasmid (pSP64) between the bacteriophage-SP6 promoter and sequences coding for either chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) or neomycin phosphotransferase (NPTII). Run-off in vitro transcripts, with or without a 5'-cap structure (G(5')ppp(5')G) and/or the ' sequence, were tested in mRNA-dependent cell-free translation systems derived from rabbit reticulocyte lysate, wheat germ extract or Escherichia coli (MRE 600). In all cases, the presence of ' increased the translational expression of both reporter genes, typically between 2- to 10-fold. Electroporation of isolated mesophyll protoplasts from Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi, or microinjection of oocytes from Xenopus laevis, with SP6-transcripts containing the CAT-coding region confirmed and extended the value of ' as a potential translational enhancer of gene expression in vivo.
