Interferon, when added to L cells, inhibited the synthesis of infectious Mengo viral ribonucleic acid, hemagglutinins, and infectious virus by 85 to 95%. Serum-blocking antigens were also reduced by the action of interferon, but threefold excess amounts of these antigens accumulated in interferon-treated cultures above the amounts expected for the quantity of infectious virus that was produced in these cultures. Radioautographic analysis showed that 28 to 36% of the cells of an interferon-treated population synthesized viral ribonucleic acid and 36 to 47% produced viral antigens as determined by an immunofluorescence technique. Despite the reductions in synthesis of viral components, all cells in an interferon-treated culture underwent cytopathic effects at the same time as cells in infected cultures which had not been treated with interferon. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that the cell destruction which results from the infection of L cells with Mengo virus is due to a protein which is coded for by the virus but is not a component of the mature virion. 相似文献

When noninfected L-cell suspension cultures are treated with interferon (specific activities superior to 10(6) reference units per mg of protein), the cell-free cytoplasmic extracts obtained are inactive for the translation of exogenous natural mRNAs. The dose-response curve shows that comparable amounts of interferon are required to produce a 50% reduction of Mengo virus multiplication in vivo and Mengo RNA translation in vitro. With higher doses of interferon, Mengo RNA translation is completely abolished, while poly U translation and endogenous protein synthesis are only slightly affected. The inactivation of Mengo RNA translation is reversible; after removal of interferon, normal translation activity is regained together with the ability to support Mengo virus multiplication. Fractionation of the cell-free extracts shows that the effect is localized in the fraction which can be washed off the ribosomes by high salt. These results establish that interferon induces a block in genetic translation in noninfected L cells. 相似文献

We have recently found that Moloney murine leukemia virus assembles within cytoplasmic vacuoles of chronically infected NIH/3T3 cells rather than at their surface (submitted for publication). In the present study we found that if these cells were treated with interferon (IF) for 24 to 48 h the intracellular virus particles accumulated at a two- to threefold-higher level than that observed in untreated cells. Nevertheless, despite this accumulation, no difference between IF-treated and untreated cells was observed in the amount of the total cytoplasmic viral RNA or in its 35S or 21S species. When cellular virions were sedimented from the cytoplasmic fraction, a markedly higher amount of viral RNA was detected in the viral pellet of IF-treated cells than was detected in untreated cells, whereas the amount of viral RNA left in the virus-free cytoplasm of IF-treated cells was much lower than that in the untreated cells. Furthermore, the amount of the cytoplasmic polyriboadenylic acid-containing viral RNA was also remarkably higher in the IF-treated cells. Viral polyribosomes appeared to be fully functional in IF-treated cells, since no effect of IF on viral protein synthesis could be detected. Analysis of the nuclear viral RNA showed no difference between IF-treated and untreated cells after 24 h of IF treatment. Both contained a comparable amount of 35S viral RNA. However, at 48 h a significant accumulation of viral RNA was observed in the nucleus of the IF-treated cells as compared with the untreated cells, although in both cases only 35S species were evident. This accumulation appeared to activate a degradation process which destroyed nuclear viral RNA, since a dramatic shift toward smaller-sized molecules of viral RNA and a remarkable reduction in its amount were observed after 72 h of IF treatment. 相似文献

We have investigated the susceptibility of Trichomonas vaginalis to Mengo virus infection by comparing the outcome of Mengo virus or purified Mengo virus RNA infection in T. vaginalis and in CCL-1 mouse fibroblasts. While the adsorption and entry of Mengo virus into T. vaginalis occurred in the same manner as in fibroblasts, the uncoating was much slower. In addition, Mengo virus infection of T. vaginalis displayed no eclipse nor any subsequent production of infectious virus. Purified RNA failed to initiate productive infection in T. vaginalis, whereas it provoked viral replication in the fibroblast controls. It was shown by assessment of protein synthesis in T. vaginalis and mouse fibroblasts cell-free systems that the protozoan ribosomes were able to translate endogenous mRNA and poly-U, but not viral RNA. 相似文献

A comparison of the replication patterns in L cells and in chick embryo (CE) cell cultures was carried out with the Herts strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV(o)) and with a mutant (NDV(pi)) isolated from persistently infected L cells. A significant amount of virus progeny, 11 plaque-forming units (PFU)/cell, was synthesized in L cells infected with NDV(o), but the infectivity remained cell-associated and disappeared without being detectable in the medium. In contrast, in L cells infected with NDV(pi), progeny virus (30 PFU/cell) was released efficiently upon maturation. It is suggested that the term "covert" rather than "abortive" be used to describe the infection of L cells with NDV(o). In both L and CE cells, the latent period of NDV(pi) was 2 to 4 hr longer than for NDV(o). The delay in synthesis of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the case of NDV(pi) coincided with the delay in the inhibition of host RNA and protein synthesis. Although both NDV(o) and NDV(pi) produced more progeny and more severe cell damage in CE cells than in L cells, the shut-off of host functions was significantly less efficient in CE cells than in L cells. Paradoxically, no detectable interferon was produced in CE cells by either of the viruses, whereas in L cells most of the interferon appeared in the medium after more than 90% of host protein synthesis was inhibited. These results suggest that the absence of induction of interferon synthesis in CE cells infected with NDV is not related to the general shut-off of host cell synthetic mechanisms but rather to the failure of some more specific event to occur. In spite of the fact that NDV(pi) RNA synthesis commenced 2 to 4 hr later than that of NDV(o), interferon was first detected in the medium 8 hr after infection with both viruses. This finding suggests that there is no relation between viral RNA synthesis and the induction of interferon synthesis. 相似文献

Gauntt, Charles J. (The University of Texas, Austin), and Royce Z. Lockart, Jr. Inhibition of Mengo virus by interferon. J. Bacteriol. 91:176-182. 1966.-The inhibition of Mengo virus replication in L cells resulting from interferon was studied quantitatively. Interferon was titrated on L cells with Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) virus as the challenge virus. One protective unit (PU) of interferon is the least amount of interferon which prevents cytopathic effects when a large multiplicity of WEE virus is added subsequent to overnight incubation with interferon. Ten PU of interferon reduced the yields of Mengo virus by about 90%. Larger doses of interferon, up to 220 PU, caused no further reduction in the amount of virus produced. Plaque formation by Mengo virus was also reduced in number by about 85 to 90%, but could not be further reduced. The plaques which formed on interferon-treated cells were reduced in size. We were unable to obtain a virus population with increased resistance to interferon action by use of five successive growth cycles in interferon-treated cultures. Analysis of the cell population for the proportion of cells able to act as infectious centers revealed that incubation of cells with 10 PU of interferon decreased the proportion of virus-yielding cells by 80%. The yield of virus per virus-producing cell was decreased by 40 to 60%. Despite the reduction in yields, plaques, and infectious centers resulting from interferon, all doses of interferon failed to prevent the complete destruction of the cells. Experiments with puromycin indicated that the cytopathic effects observed in L cells infected with Mengo virus required that a virus-directed protein be synthesized between 4 and 5 hr postinfection. The evidence suggested, therefore, that the Mengo virus genome was able to code for new protein synthesis in the absence of the production of infectious virus. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that in certain cell systems dexamethasone may enhance the production of type C viruses. Conversely, interferon has been shown to inhibit their production. Both appear to exert their influence late in the viral replication cycle rather than on the synthesis of viral-specific RNA. In this report dexamethasone and interferon have been used to study some aspects of the mechanisms involved in the synthesis of type C viruses in murine K-BALB cells following induction of virus production by iododeoxyuridine. Interferon inhibited production of xenotropic type C virus induced by iododeoxyuridine from K-BALB cells both in the absence and presence of dexamethasone, but it did not affect production of N-tropic type C virus. Exposure of the cells to interferon for longer than 12 h was required for maximum effect. Two types of inhibitory effects were observed: one diminished by dexamethasone when the steroid was added 24 h after interferon removal, and the second resistant to dexamethasone. The concentration of intracellular group-specific antigen was diminshed after interferon and increased after dexamethasone exposure. When induced cells were treated with both interferon and dexamethasone, the intracellular group-specific protein concentration was slightly increased, but virus production was reduced 10-fold compared with induced cells treated with dexamethasone alone. We conclude that interferon and dexamethasone may affect both the synthesis of viral proteins and the assembly or release of virus particles and that dexamethasone can partially nullify the inhibitory activity of interferon. The results also support previous conclusions that the regulatory mechanisms for synthesis of viral proteins and for the release of viral particles may differ and that controls for xenotropic and ecotropic virus formation may not be identical. 相似文献

We previously showed in intact L cells that interferon treatment did not modify the shut-off of cellular RNA and protein synthesis induced by infection with Mengo virus although viral replication is inhibited (1,2). We have also demonstrated that inhibition of host protein synthesis was not due to degradation of messengers since cellular mRNA could be extracted from interferon-treated infected cells and efficiently translated in a reticulocyte lysate(2). Cellular mRNA was not degraded although 2–5A was present as reported here. We prepared cell-free systems from such cells at a time when cellular shut-off was fully established. The undegraded messengers remained untranslated under cell-free protein synthesis conditions and almost no polysomes were detected. The decreased amount of [35S]Met-tRNA-40S complex observed in these lysates might account for the inhibition of protein synthesis at the level of initiation. 相似文献

Effect of interferon treatment on blockade of protein synthesis induced by poliovirus infection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Treatment of HeLa cells with lymphoblastoid interferon leads to a drastic inhibition of infective poliovirus. Even relatively high concentrations of human lymphoblastoid interferon HuIFN-alpha (Ly) (400 IU/ml) do not prevent destruction of the cell monolayer after most of the cells have been infected with poliovirus. Analysis of macromolecular synthesis in a single step growth cycle of poliovirus in interferon-treated cells detected no viral protein synthesis. In spite of this inhibition of viral translation, the shut-off of host protein synthesis in interferon-treated cells is apparent when they are infected both at low and high multiplicities. Although viral RNA synthesis is inhibited considerably in cells treated with interferon, a certain amount is detected, suggesting that some viral replication takes place. Analysis of membrane permeability after poliovirus infection shows a leakage to 86Rb+ ions and modification of membrane permeability to the translation inhibitor hygromycin B at the moment when the bulk of virus protein synthesis occurs. These changes are delayed and even prevented if cells are pretreated with interferon. A situation is described in which host protein synthesis is shut-down with no major changes in membrane permeability, as studied by the two tests mentioned above. Prevention of viral gene expression by inactivation with ultraviolet light of the input virus or by treatment with cycloheximide blocks the shut-off of protein synthesis. This does not occur in the presence of 3 mM guanidine. These observations are in agreement with the idea that some poliovirus protein synthesis takes place in interferon-treated cells and this early gene expression is necessary to block cellular protein synthesis. 相似文献

Mouse serum interferons induced by polyI:C, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), reovirus, and Mengo virus were assayed in monolayers of mouse L-929 cells by the plaque-reduction method using both VSV and Mengo as challenge viruses. Titers obtained with Mengo virus as challenge were all lower than with VSV. With the interferons induced by VSV, reovirus, and ployI:C, the reductions were of the order of two- to three-fold. With Mengo virus-induced interferon the reduction was much greater (about 17-fold). This offers an explanation for the observation that, unit for unit (measured by the plaque reduction of VSV), Mengo virus-induced interferon is only about 1/10 as effective as polyI:C-induced interferon in protecting mice against lethal infection with Mengo virus. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that an interferon antagonist is produced in the serum of mice infected with Mengo virus. This antagonist, which is not produced in mice inoculated with polyI:C, or reovirus, effectively blocks the antiviral action of interferon during Mengo virus infections, both in vivo and in vitro. 相似文献

Nuclei prepared from Vero cells infected with SV40 in the presence of cytosine arabinoside synthesize [3H]RNA in vitro, a small proportion of which is virus specific. This synthesis is sensitive to low doses of α-amanitin. The accumulation of viral RNA is blocked in nuclei prepared from cells pretreated with interferon prior to infection and incubated in a reaction mixture containing 100 mM KCl. This resembles the situation found in intact cells. However, when the reaction mixture contains 300 mM KCl, the interferon-induced block in viral RNA accumulation is reversed. 相似文献

Ultraviolet irradiation and actinomycin D impair the capacity of mouse embryo (ME) cells to support the replication of polyoma virus, but not of encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus. The loss in capacity for polyoma virus synthesis was an “all-or-none” effect and followed closely upon the loss in cellular capacity for clone formation. Cells treated with either agent produced polyoma “T” antigen, but did not synthesize polyoma structural protein. Infection of untreated ME cells with polyoma virus produced marked stimulation of both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis and ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis. ME cell cultures irradiated with ultraviolet for 30 sec at 60 μw/cm2 or treated with actinomycin D at 0.1 μg/ml for 6 hr prior to infection were incapable of synthesizing DNA or RNA, even after infection with polyoma virus. Irradiation of cells during infection produced cessation of synthesis of both RNA and DNA. Addition of actinomycin D during infection did not inhibit DNA synthesis but abolished RNA synthesis and reduced the yield of polyoma virus to 10% of that in untreated infected cultures. Both agents lost the ability to prevent replication of a full yield of polyoma virus when administered 30 hr after infection or later. The period after which neither agent inhibited polyoma replication corresponded with the period at which maximal RNA synthesis in untreated infected cultures had subsided. It can be concluded on the basis of the data presented that the functional integrity of the mouse embryo cell genome is required for the replication of polyoma virus, but not for EMC virus. Whereas the requirement for cellular DNA-dependent RNA synthesis for polyoma virus replication has been demonstrated, the exact nature of the host-cell function remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

The influenza A virus NS1 protein, a virus-encoded alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) antagonist, appears to be a key regulator of protein expression in infected cells. We now show that NS1 protein expression results in enhancement of reporter gene activity from transfected plasmids. This effect appears to be mediated at the translational level, and it is reminiscent of the activity of the adenoviral virus-associated I (VAI) RNA, a known inhibitor of the antiviral, IFN-induced, PKR protein. To study the effects of the NS1 protein on viral and cellular protein synthesis during influenza A virus infection, we used recombinant influenza viruses lacking the NS1 gene (delNS1) or expressing truncated NS1 proteins. Our results demonstrate that the NS1 protein is required for efficient viral protein synthesis in COS-7 cells. This activity maps to the amino-terminal domain of the NS1 protein, since cells infected with wild-type virus or with a mutant virus expressing a truncated NS1 protein-lacking approximately half of its carboxy-terminal end-showed similar kinetics of viral and cellular protein expression. Interestingly, no major differences in host cell protein synthesis shutoff or in viral protein expression were found among NS1 mutant viruses in Vero cells. Thus, another viral component(s) different from the NS1 protein is responsible for the inhibition of host protein synthesis during viral infection. In contrast to the earlier proposal suggesting that the NS1 protein regulates the levels of spliced M2 mRNA, no effects on M2 protein accumulation were seen in Vero cells infected with delNS1 virus. 相似文献

When p-fluorophenylalanine (FPA) was added to influenza virus RI/5+-infected cells 4 hr after infection, virus-specific proteins were synthesized but infectious progeny virus was not produced. In these cells, synthesis of viral RNA was strongly inhibited and nucleoprotein (NP) antigen was found predominantly in the nucleus in contrast to untreated cells in which NP antigen was distributed throughout the whole cell. The intracellular location and migration of NP were examined by isotope labeling followed by fractionation of infected cells. In untreated cells, a large portion of the NP was present in the cytoplasm and most of it was detected in the form of ribonucleoprotein (RNP). In contrast, in FPA-treated cells little viral RNP was detectable and NP was present predominantly in the nucleus in a nonassembled, soluble form. When FPA was removed from the culture, synthesis of viral RNA was soon restored and a large amount of viral RNP appeared in the cytoplasm; this was followed by the production of infectious virus. The results of the experiments suggest that the NP synthesized in the presence of FPA is not assembled into viral RNP because of the lack of available RNA, and such NP migrates readily into the nucleus and accumulates there. 相似文献

The interferon-inducible, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-dependent protein kinase which phosphorylates an endogenous HeLa 69 kilodalton polypeptide or exogenous initiation factor eIF2 was inhibited during vaccinia virus infection. High interferon doses (20,000 reference units per ml) did not prevent this inhibition. The inhibition required protein synthesis but not viral DNA synthesis during infection, suggesting that an early vaccinia virus gene function was responsible. An active dsRNA-dependent protein kinase could be recovered from an inactive extract by purification on polyinosinate X polycytidylate-cellulose. An inhibitor of the protein kinase, therefore, must be present in the inactive extract. Similar results have been obtained with mouse L929 cells. At early time points of infection, the protein kinase in cell extracts required exogenous dsRNA for activity. This argues against endogenous viral dsRNA and activation of the kinase in the intact cell. At late time points of infection (when vaccinia virus dsRNA was almost certainly formed), the inhibitor of the kinase is present. Accordingly, it seems unlikely that the kinase played any role in the interferon-mediated inhibition of virus growth observed in these cells under these particular conditions. 相似文献

Mechanism of Interferon Action: Inhibition of Viral Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Translation in L-Cell Extracts 总被引:22,自引:9,他引:13

Encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus ribonucleic acid (RNA) stimulated the incorporation of (14)C-amino acids into polypeptides in cell-free systems using preincubated S10 extracts from L cells. Incorporation was linear for over 2 hr. Analysis of the tryptic peptides derived from the polypeptide products formed in response to EMC RNA showed them to be virus specific. The major product, a polypeptide of 140,000 in molecular weight, migrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with one of the virus-specific polypeptides present in EMC-infected cells. A minor component of molecular weight about 230,000 may correspond to the product of complete translation of the EMC virus genome. Little or no effect of interferon or vaccinia virus infection was observed in the preincubated, cell-free system. The EMC RNA-stimulated incorporation of (14)C-amino acids into polypeptides was not inhibited in extracts derived from L cells early in virus infection, from interferon-treated cells, or from cells subjected to both treatments. Interferon treatment did appear to have a slight inhibitory effect on chain elongation in this system. However, treatment of cells with highly purified interferon before virus infection caused a decrease of about 80% in the capacity of non-preincubated cell extracts to translate added EMC RNA. This effect did not extend to the translation of polyuridylic acid and could be reversed by preincubation of the extracts at 37 C for 20 min. The inhibition of translation was manifest at interferon concentrations as low as 5IU/ml, and in this respect closely paralleled the inhibition of virus growth. Inactivation of the antiviral activity of the interferon by heating or digestion with trypsin also abolished the effect on cell-free protein synthesis. The EMC-specific polypeptides formed in reduced amounts in extracts of interferon-treated vaccinia-infected cells were smaller than those formed in extracts of untreated, vaccinia-infected cells. Thus, inhibition of initiation or elongation of polypeptides, or both, can be demonstrated in cell-free systems employing non-preincubated extracts from interferon-treated, virus-infected cells. These results indicate that antiviral activity of interferon is directed against the translation of viral messenger RNA. 相似文献
