The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase(s) of Rous sarcoma virus synthesizes two principal products-single-stranded DNA in the form of a DNA:ribonucleic acid (RNA) hybrid and double-stranded DNA. All of the single-stranded product and 50% of the double-stranded product can be hybridized to 70S viral RNA. These results, in combination with data obtained by analysis of the kinetics of double-stranded DNA synthesis, indicate that the synthesis of double-stranded DNA is a sequel to the synthesis of single-stranded DNA and is dependent upon the latter for the provision of initial template. 相似文献

Kirsten murine sarcoma-leukemia virus (Ki-MSV[MLV]) was found to contain less RNase H per unit of viral DNA polymerase than avian Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). Upon purification by chromatography on Sephadex G-200 and subsequent glycerol gradient sedimentation the avian DNA polymerase was obtained in association with a constant amount of RNase H. By contrast, equally purified DNA polymerase of Ki-MSV(MLV) and Moloney [Mo-MSV(MLV)] lacked detectable RNase H if assayed with two homopolymer and phage fd DNA-RNA hybrids as substrates. On the basis of picomoles of nucleotides turned over, the ratio of RNase H to purified avian DNA polymerase was 1:20 and that of RNase H to purified murine DNA polymerase ranged between <1:2,800 and 5,000. Based on the same activity with poly (A).oligo(dT) the activity of the murine DNA polymerase was 6 to 60 times lower than that of the avian enzyme with denatured salmon DNA template or with avian or murine viral RNA templates assayed under various conditions (native, heat-dissociated, with or without oligo(dT) and oligo(dC) and at different template enzyme ratios). The template activities of Ki-MSV(MLV) RNA and RSV RNA were enhanced uniformly by oligo(dT) but oligo(dC) was much less efficient in enhancing the activity of MSV(MLV) RNA than that of RSV RNA. It was concluded that the purified DNA polymerase of Ki-MSV(MLV) differs from that of Rous sarcoma virus in its lack of detectable RNase H and in its low capacity to transcribe viral RNA and denatured salmon DNA. Some aspects of these results are discussed. 相似文献

At least three nuclease activities are associated with purified frog virus 3. These activities are endodeoxyribonuclease (pH 7.5, double-stranded [DS] and single-stranded [SS] deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]); endodeoxyribonuclease (pH 5.0, DS and SS DNA); endoribonuclease (DS and SS ribonucleic acid [RNA], pH 7.5). These activities are not adsorbed to the surface of the virion but are within the viral capsid and require detergent disruption of virions to unmask enzyme activity. Only one activity, deoxyribonuclease (pH 5.0, SS and DS DNA) appears to be core-associated after detergent disruption of virions. The ribonuclease degrades poliovirus replicative-form RNA, reovirus native RNA, and poly(I) poly(C) to a product with a sedimentation coefficient of about 6S. Qbeta 6S DS RNA and 4S transfer RNA are not degraded. The ribonuclease appears to be a late function of the virus and is elicited in a soluble form as well as a virus-associated form. 相似文献

A number of compounds related to rifampin which act as expected in the Escherichia coli system have been tested for their ability to inhibit the vaccinia particle deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase in vitro. Some compounds are inactive even at concentrations of 500 mug/ml, others are able to produce partial inhibition, and others strongly inhibit the enzyme activity at 150 mug/ml or less. The inhibition, where present, operates immediately but appears to be at least partially reversible. At least one compound which is without effect against bacterial RNA polymerase is a potent inhibitor of the viral RNA polymerase. As the enzyme activity of rifampin-resistant mutants of vaccinia virus is inhibited to the same extent as that of the wild type, the observed in vitro effect on vaccinia virus RNA polymerase is not identical with the in vivo effect specifically directed against a vaccinia-specified protein. 相似文献

IN infection with an oncogenic RNA virus, synthesis of viral RNA seems to be catalysed by an RNA dependent DNA polymerase in the host cell1–4. Several specific inhibitors of viral DNA polymerases have been found5–7 and Spiegelman8 has shown that the activity of viral enzymes depends strongly on the chemical composition of the template. We report here first a new highly specific poison of the Rauscher murine leukaemia virus (RMLV) DNA polymerases; second, several inactivators of the RNA and DNA template involved in the RMLV enzyme systems; and third, the action of actinomycin D on viral DNA polymerases and on host DNA/RNA polymerase. The results are discussed with respect to the influence of actinomycin D on virus multiplication. 相似文献

The rate of homoribopolymer-directed DNA synthesis by detergent-disrupted Moloney murine leukemia virus can be stimulated or inhibited by histone, depending on the ratio of histone to template. Of the fractions which can be separated from the whole histone, f1 causes both the greatest stimulation and the greatest inhibition. The effect of histone f1 is qualitatively similar whether the template is polyadenylate (poly A), polycytidylate, or polyuridylate, but the stimulation is greatest with poly A. The pattern of stimulation and inhibition differs, however, for a different polymerase; the DNA polymerase of Micrococcus luteus is inhibited by histone concentrations which stimulate the viral enzyme and stimulated by concentrations which inhibit the viral enzyme. For the viral enzyme, the optimum histone concentration is unaffected by changes in the virus or primer concentration; but it varies in proportion to the template concentration, suggesting that histone acts by combining stoichiometrically with the template. These data raise the possibility that a histone-like protein may participate in the synthesis of the provirus of RNA tumor viruses. 相似文献

Purified preparations of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) contain ribonuclease which is either a constituent of the virion surface or an adsorbed contaminant. Treatment of the virus with nonionic detergent to activate ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase renders the viral genome susceptible to hydrolysis by the external ribonuclease. The extent of this susceptibility can be substantially reduced by the use of limited amounts of detergent. At a concentration of detergent which provides a maximum initial rate of DNA synthesis, the degradation of endogenous viral RNA results in a reduced yield of high molecular weight DNA: RNA hybrid from the polymerase reaction. Attempts to detect virion-associated deoxyribonuclease, by using a variety of double helical DNA species as substrates, have been unsuccessful, but small amounts of nuclease activity directed against single-stranded DNA may be present in purified virus. 相似文献

Mechanism of Inhibition of Vaccinia Virus Replication in Adenovirus-Infected HeLa Cells 总被引:8,自引:7,他引:1
The ability of vaccinia virus to replicate in HeLa cells which had been previously infected with adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) was studied in order to gain insight into the mechanism by which adenovirus inhibits the expression of host cell functions. Vaccinia virus was employed in these studies because it replicates in the cytoplasm, whereas Ad2 replicates in the nucleus of the cell. It was found that vaccinia deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis is greatly inhibited in adeno-preinfected HeLa cells provided that vaccinia superinfection does not occur before 18 hr after adeno infection. The inhibition of vaccinia DNA synthesis can be traced to an inhibition of vaccinia protein synthesis and viral uncoating. Vaccinia ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis is not inhibited in adeno-preinfected cells, but the vaccinia RNA does not become associated with polysomes. 相似文献

A ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA polymerase has been demonstrated in Kern Canyon virus (KCV) particles. The RNA product of the KCV polymerase hybridizes to KCV viral RNA. The properties of this viral enzyme have been characterized and compared with those of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). RNA polymerases from both viruses require similar conditions of temperature, pH, and detergent and magnesium concentrations for maximal synthesis of RNA. The RNA polymerase contained in the virion of KCV was more dependent on the presence of a sulfhydryl agent than was the VSV enzyme. Under optimal conditions, the specific activity of the VSV polymerase is about twenty-five times as great as that of KCV. 相似文献

Differential inhibition conditions were established for the DNA polymerase and RNase H activities of avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) with ether-disrupted AMV and a purified enzyme preparation. The RNase H activity of ether-disrupted AMV with (rA)(n).(dT)(n) and (rA)(n).(dT)(11) as substrates was inhibited 80 to 100% by preincubation with NaF at a final reaction concentration of 27 to 30 mM. Under these conditions, the DNA polymerase activity was inhibited only 0 to 20%. Similar inhibitions were found with exogenous Rous sarcoma virus 35S and 70S RNA.DNA hybrid and phiX174 DNA.RNA hybrid as substrates. Studies were also performed with a purified enzyme preparation, in which the two activities essentially co-purified. The RNase H activity was inhibited >80% by 150 mM KCl with three different hybrid substrates, whereas the DNA polymerase activity was uninhibited. The DNA polymerase was completely inactivated by heat denaturation at 41 C or by omission of the deoxytriphosphates from the reaction mixture; the RNase H remained active. These differential inhibition conditions were used to compare the size of the DNA product synthesized with and without simultaneous RNase H action and to examine the effect of inhibition of the DNA polymerase on the size of the RNase H products. The size of the products of one activity was not affected by inhibition of the other activity. These results suggest that the AMV DNA polymerase and RNase H are not coupled mechanistically. 相似文献

Synthesis and Intracellular Localization of Vaccinia Virus Deoxyribonucleic Acid-dependent Ribonucleic Acid Polymerase 总被引:8,自引:5,他引:3
The time course of vaccinia deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase synthesis and its intracellular localization were studied with virus-infected HeLa cells. Viral RNA polymerase activity could be meassured shortly after viral infection in the cytoplasmic fraction of infected cells in vitro. However, unless the cells were broken in the presence of the nonionic detergent Triton-X-100, no significant synthesis of new RNA polymerase was detected during the viral growth cycle. When cells were broken in the presence of this detergent, extensive increases in viral RNA polymerase activity were observed late in the infection cycle. The onset of new RNA polymerase synthesis was dependent on prior viral DNA replication. Fluorodeoxyuridine (5 x 10(-5)m) prevented the onset of viral polymerase synthesis. Streptovitacin A, a specific and complete inhibitor of protein synthesis in HeLa cells, prevented the synthesis of RNA polymerase. Thus, the synthesis of RNA polymerase is a "late" function of the virus. The newly synthesized RNA polymerase activity was primarily bound to particles which sedimented during high-speed centrifugation. These particles have been characterized by sucrose gradient centrifugation. A major class of active RNA polymerase particles were considerably "lighter" than whole virus in sucrose gradients. These particles were entirely resistant to the action of added pancreatic deoxyribonuclease, and they were not stimulated by added calf thymus primer DNA. It is concluded that these particles are not active in RNA synthesis in vivo, and that activation occurs as a result of detergent treatment in vitro. 相似文献

Virus-Specific Ribonucleic Acid in Cells Producing Rous Sarcoma Virus: Detection and Characterization 总被引:35,自引:61,他引:35

Cells producing Rous sarcoma virus contain virus-specific ribonucleic acid (RNA) which can be identified by hybridization to single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesized with RNA-directed DNA polymerase. Hybridization was detected by either fractionation on hydroxyapatite or hydrolysis with single strand-specific nucleases. Similar results were obtained with both procedures. The hybrids formed between enzymatically synthesized DNA and viral RNA have a high order of thermal stability, with only minor evidence of mismatched nucleotide sequences. Virus-specific RNA is present in both nuclei and cytoplasm of infected cells. This RNA is remarkably heterogeneous in size, including molecules which are probably restricted to the nucleus and which sediment in their native state more rapidly than the viral genome. The nature of the RNA found in cytoplasmic fractions varies from preparation to preparation, but heterogeneous RNA (ca. 4-50S), smaller than the viral genome, is always present in substantial amounts. 相似文献

A study was made of the DNA polymerase of reptilian type C virus isolated from Russell's viper spleen cells. Simultaneous detection experiments demonstrated the presence of 70S RNA and RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity in reptilian type C virions. The endogenous activity was dependent on the addition of all four deoxynucleotide triphosphates and demonstrated an absolute requirement for a divalent cation. The reptilian viral DNA polymerase elutes from phosphocellulose at 0.22 M salt. In this respect, it is similar to the avian (avian myeloblastosis virus; AMV) viral enzyme but is different from the mammalian (Rauscher leukemia virus; RLV) viral enzyme which elutes at 0.4 M salt. The molecular weight of the viper DNA polymerase as estimated from glycerol gradient centrifugation is 109,000. It is a smaller enzyme than the AMV DNA polymerase (180,000 daltons) and somewhat larger than the RLV enzyme (70,000 daltons). A comparison of other properties of the type C reptilian DNA polymerase with the enzyme found in other type C oncogenic viruses is made. 相似文献

Uninfected chicken embryo cells were analyzed for the presence of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) by molecular hybridization with the single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) product of the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase contained in avian sarcoma-leukosis virions. Viral RNA was detected in all cells which contained the avian tumor virus group-specific antigen and the virus-related helper factor. The amounts of viral RNA in these cells ranged from approximately 3 to 40 copies of viral-specific sequences per cell. In general, the viral RNA content correlated with the level of helper activity in the cells. Cells infected with Rous-associated virus 2 contained 3,000 to 4,000 copies of viral RNA per cell. RNA from these infected cells hybridized with nearly 100% of the viral (3)H-DNA. By contrast, a maximum of less than 50% hybridization was obtained with RNA from the uninfected helper-positive cells, suggesting that not all of the viral RNA sequences were present in these cells. No viral RNA was detected in cells which lacked group-specific antigen and helper activity. Under the conditions used in these studies, less than 0.3 viral genome equivalents of RNA per cell would have been detected. 相似文献

Insects are not only major vectors of mammalian viruses, but are also host to insect-restricted viruses that can potentially be transmitted to mammals. While mammalian innate immune responses to arboviruses are well studied, less is known about how mammalian cells respond to viruses that are restricted to infect only invertebrates. Here we demonstrate that IIV-6, a DNA virus of the family Iridoviridae, is able to induce a type I interferon-dependent antiviral immune response in mammalian cells. Although IIV-6 is a DNA virus, we demonstrate that the immune response activated during IIV-6 infection is mediated by the RIG-I-like receptor (RLR) pathway, and not the canonical DNA sensing pathway via cGAS/STING. We further show that RNA polymerase III is required for maximal IFN-β secretion, suggesting that viral DNA is transcribed by this enzyme into an RNA species capable of activating the RLR pathway. Finally, we demonstrate that the RLR-driven mammalian innate immune response to IIV-6 is functionally capable of protecting cells from subsequent infection with the arboviruses Vesicular Stomatitis virus and Kunjin virus. These results represent a novel example of an invertebrate DNA virus activating a canonically RNA sensing pathway in the mammalian innate immune response, which reduces viral load of ensuing arboviral infection. 相似文献

The morphology of Safferman's virus of blue-green algae (phycovirus LPP-1) has been studied by electron microscopy and physicochemical methods. The virion has a short (100 to 200 A long, 150 A in diameter) forked tail, with an outer sheath, an inner core, and a capital attached to one of the vertices of a polyhedral head. The head capsid edge-to-edge distance is 600 A, based upon internal calibration of the magnification in electron micrographs by use of the line-line spacing of catalase crystals. Measurements of absorbancy and infectivity, and electron microscopy across the band of virus after zone centrifugation on a sucrose gradient, indicated that infectivity was correlated with the short-tailed particles described. The viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is linear, with a contour length of 13.2 +/- 0.5 mu, measured by the Kleinschmidt method. Its sedimentation coefficient, S(0) (20, w), is 33.4 +/- 0.7 S. These values are consistent with a molecular weight of 27 x 10(6) for the viral DNA. Based upon buoyant density in CsCl and thermal denaturation, the guanine-cytosine content of the DNA is 53%. The viral DNA was used as template for in vitro ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. This RNA annealed to 18% of the sequences in the viral DNA, 0.5% of the sequences in bacteriophage T7 DNA, and 0.25% of the sequences in Plectonema boryanum DNA, at saturating levels of RNA in the Hall-Nygaard hybridization assay. The lack of homology with T7 DNA is of interest because the two viruses are very similar morphologically. The lack of homology with host DNA suggests that this algal virus is a poor candidate for transduction. 相似文献
