The temporal sequence of coronavirus plus-strand and minus-strand RNA synthesis was determined in 17CL1 cells infected with the A59 strain of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV). MHV-induced fusion was prevented by keeping the pH of the medium below pH 6.8. This had no effect on the MHV replication cycle, but gave 5- to 10-fold-greater titers of infectious virus and delayed the detachment of cells from the monolayer which permitted viral RNA synthesis to be studied conveniently until at least 10 h postinfection. Seven species of poly(A)-containing viral RNAs were synthesized at early and late times after infection, in nonequal but constant ratios. MHV minus-strand RNA synthesis was first detected at about 3 h after infection and was found exclusively in the viral replicative intermediates and was not detected in 60S single-stranded form in infected cells. Early in the replication cycle, from 45 to 65% of the [3H]uridine pulse-labeled RF core of purified MHV replicative intermediates was in minus-strand RNA. The rate of minus-strand synthesis peaked at 5 to 6 h postinfection and then declined to about 20% of the maximum rate. The addition of cycloheximide before 3 h postinfection prevented viral RNA synthesis, whereas the addition of cycloheximide after viral RNA synthesis had begun resulted in the inhibition of viral RNA synthesis. The synthesis of both genome and subgenomic mRNAs and of viral minus strands required continued protein synthesis, and minus-strand RNA synthesis was three- to fourfold more sensitive to inhibition by cycloheximide than was plus-strand synthesis.  相似文献

A preliminary translational map of the Autographa californica genome was constructed. Eighteen viral DNA restriction fragments were either purified from agarose gels or obtained from pBR322 recombinant DNA plasmids to locate specific gene products. The DNAs were immobilized on nitrocellulose filters and used to select viral mRNAs isolated from RNA obtained from the cytoplasm of infected Spodoptera frugiperda cells at 21 h postinfection. The fragment-specific mRNAs were translated in vitro in the presence of l-[(3)H]leucine by using a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system and analyzed on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. The approximate locations of 19 A. californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) gene products were mapped. The genes for mRNAs present late in viral infection were mapped to DNA fragments that represent nearly the entire genome. The molecular weights of many of these proteins were similar to those present in purified AcMNPV extracellular virus and to proteins being made in infected cells at 18 to 21 h postinfection. Cytoplasmic RNA was isolated at 4 h postinfection from infected cells, a time early in the viral infection cycle, and hybridized to AcMNPV DNA immobilized on nitrocellulose filters. AcMNPV-specific early RNA was translated in vitro into at least six polypeptides, the most abundant having a molecular weight of 39,000. Viral polypeptides were detected in cells pulse-labeled with l-[(3)H]leucine at 3 to 6 h postinfection, with molecular weights similar to those of polypeptides made in vitro from early AcMNPV mRNA.  相似文献

Herpex simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) RNA labeled with with [methyl-3H] methionine at various times during the infectious cycle and purified by hybridization to viral DNA was analyzed for the presence of methylated nucleotides. The data indicate the following. (i) RNA labeled from 0 to 14 h postinfection and accumulating in the cytoplasm contained internal base-methylated nucleotides and terminal oligonucleotides consistent with the structure 7mG(5')ppp-(5')XmpYmpNp. Similar methylated nucleotides and oligonucleotides were also found in viral RNA accumulating in the cytoplasm of cells treated with cycloheximide from the time of infection. Previous studies (M. Kozak and B. Roizman, 1974) have shown that, whereas the RNA accumulating in the 14-h infected cells contains all of the sequences functioning as mRNA throughout infection, the RNA accumulating in the cytoplasm of cycloheximide-treated cells is associated with polyribosomes synthesizing the earliest (alpha) group of polypeptides specified by the virus. (ii) Cytoplasmic viral RNA from cells labeled 11 to 14 h postinfection as well as the total adenylated RNA in the cytoplasm and polyribosomes labeled in the same fashion contained the terminal oligonucleotide but not the internal base-methylated nucleotide.  相似文献

We isolated polyadenylated RNA from the cytoplasm of cells infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus late after infection (21 h postinfection). At that time intracellular protein synthesis was directed almost exclusively toward infected cell-specific proteins. The polyadenylic acid-containing RNA sequences in the cytoplasm at 21 h postinfection were radiolabeled in vitro and hybridized to A. californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus DNA restriction fragments. The polyadenylic acid-containing RNA was derived from regions representing the entire viral genome. Translation in a reticulocyte cell-free protein-synthesizing system of cytoplasmic RNA selected by hybridization to viral DNA and polyadenylic acid-containing RNA produced almost identical polypeptide patterns, suggesting that late after infection almost all of the cytoplasmic polyadenylic acid-containing RNA present in infected cells was of viral origin. Polyhedrin protein (molecular weight, 33,000) and a number of virion structural proteins were among the translation products which were identified by immunoprecipitation and by comparing molecular weights. In addition, some tentative nonstructural infected cell-specific proteins were also detected. Using the hybridization selection technique, we determined that sequences complementary to the message coding for polyhedrin were located on EcoRI fragment I of A. californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus DNA, whereas sequences coding for a putative nonstructural protein (molecular weight, 39,000) were on EcoRI fragment J.  相似文献

Bunyamwera virus replication was examined in Aedes albopictus (mosquito) cell cultures in which a persistent infection is established and in cytopathically infected BHK cells. During primary infection of A. albopictus cells, Bunyamwera virus reached relatively high titers (107 PFU/ml), and autointerference was not observed. Three virus-specific RNAs (L, M, and S) and two virion proteins (N and G1) were detected in infected cells. Maximum rates of viral RNA synthesis and viral protein synthesis were extremely low, corresponding to <2% of the synthetic capacities of uninfected control cells. Viral protein synthesis was maximal at 12 h postinfection and was shut down to barely detectable levels at 24 h postinfection. Virus-specific RNA and nucleocapsid syntheses showed similar patterns of change, but later in infection. The proportions of cells able to release a single PFU at 3, 6, and 54 days postinfection were 100, 50, and 1.5%, respectively. Titers fell to 103 to 105 PFU/ml in carrier cultures. Persistently infected cultures were resistant to superinfection with homologous virus but not with heterologous virus. No changes in host cell protein synthesis or other cytopathic effects were observed at any stage of infection. Small-plaque variants of Bunyamwera virus appeared at approximately 7 days postinfection and increased gradually until they were 75 to 95% of the total infectious virus at 66 days postinfection. Temperature-sensitive mutants appeared between 23 and 49 days postinfection. No antiviral activity similar to that reported in A. albopictus cell cultures persistently infected with Sindbis virus (R. Riedel and D. T. Brown, J. Virol. 29: 51-60, 1979) was detected in culture fluids by 3 months after infection. Bunyamwera virus replicated more rapidly in BHK cells than in mosquito cells but reached lower titers. Autointerference occurred at multiplicities of infection of 10. Virus-specific RNA and protein syntheses were at least 20% of the levels in uninfected control cells. Host cell protein synthesis was completely shut down, and nucleocapsid protein accumulated until it was 4% of the total cell protein. We discuss these results in relation to possible mechanisms involved in determining the outcome of arbovirus infection of vertebrate and mosquito cells.  相似文献

Yaba tumor virus progeny appeared in cynomolgus monkey kidney cells at 24 h postinfection and reached a plateau at 72 h in the first cycle of replication. Viral DNA synthesis was first detected at about 3 h and reached a peak in 18 h. Maximum coating of viral DNA in infected cells occurred at 4 days postinfection. Rapidly labeled RNA was synthesized in the cytoplasm of virus-infected cells. At 6 h postinfection 7 to 10S RNA was present; this species was present in greater amount at 12 h; at 24 h a truncated peak indicated the presence of 14 to 15S as well as 7 to 10S RNA. Hybridization data indicated that the largest peak of messenger RNA synthesis occurred at 11 to 13 h postinfection and a second, slightly smaller, peak occurred at 21 to 23 h.  相似文献

The kinetics of retroviral DNA and RNA synthesis are parameters vital to understanding viral growth, especially for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which encodes several of its own regulatory genes. We have established a single-cycle growth condition for HIV in H9 cells, a human CD4+ lymphocyte line. The full-length viral linear DNA is first detectable by 4 h postinfection. During a one-step growth of HIV, amounts of viral DNA gradually increase until 8 to 12 h postinfection and then decrease. The copy number of unintegrated viral DNA is not extraordinarily high even at its peak. Most strikingly, there is a temporal program of RNA accumulation: the earliest RNA is greatly enriched in the 2-kilobase subgenomic mRNA species, while the level of 9.2-kilobase RNA which is both genomic RNA and mRNA remains low until after 24 h of infection. Virus production begins at about 24 h postinfection. Thus, viral DNA synthesis is as rapid as for other retroviruses, but viral RNA synthesis involves temporal alteration in the species that accumulate, presumably as a consequence of viral regulatory genes.  相似文献

Maximum amounts of 42S and 26S single-stranded viral RNA and viral structural proteins were synthesized in Aedes albopictus cells at 24 h after Sindbis virus infection. Thereafter, viral RNA and protein syntheses were inhibited. By 3 days postinfection, only small quantities of 42S RNA and no detectable 26S RNA or structural proteins were synthesized in infected cells. Superinfection of A. albopictus cells 3 days after Sindbis virus infection with Sindbis, Semliki Forest, Una, or Chikungunya alphavirus did not lead to the synthesis of intracellular 26S viral RNA. In contrast, infection with snowshoe hare virus, a bunyavirus, induced the synthesis of snowshoe hare virus RNA in both A. Ablpictus cells 3 days after Sindbis virus infection and previously uninfected mosquito cells. These results suggested that at 3 days after infection with Sindbis virus, mosquito cells restricted the replication of both homologous and heterologous alphaviruses but remained susceptible to infection with a bunyavirus. In superinfection experiments the the alphaviruses were differentiated on the basis of plaque morphology and the electrophoretic mobility of their intracellular 26S viral RNA species. Thus, it was shown that within 1 h after infection with eigher Sindbis or Chikungunya virus, A. albopictus cells were resistant to superinfection with Sindbis, Chikungunya, Una, and Semliki Forest viruses. Infected cultures were resistant to superinfection with the homologous virus indefinitely, but maximum resistance to superinfection with heterologous alphaviruses lasted for approximately 8 days. After that time, infected cultures supported the replication of heterologous alphaviruses to the same extent as did persistently infected cultures established months previously. However, the titer of heterologous alphavirus produced after superinfection of persistently infected cultures was 10- to 50-fold less than that produced by an equal number of previously uninfected A. albopictus cells. Only a small proportion (8 to 10%) of the cells in a persistently infected culture was capable of supporting the replication of a heterologous alphavirus.  相似文献

Virus-induced alterations in cell morphology play important roles in the viral life cycle. To examine the intracellular events of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) infection, green monkey kidney (GMK) cells were either inoculated with the virus or transfected with the viral RNA. Various microscopic and flow cytometric approaches demonstrated the emergence of CVB3 capsid proteins at 8 h posttransfection, followed by morphological transformation of the cells. The morphological changes included formation of membranous protrusions containing viral capsids, together with microtubules and actin. Translocation of viral capsids into these protrusions was sensitive to cytochalasin D, suggesting the importance of actin in the process. Three-dimensional (3D) live-cell imaging demonstrated frequent contacts between cellular protrusions and adjacent cells. Markedly, in spite of an increase in the cellular viral protein content starting 8 h postinfection, no significant decrease in cell viability or increase in the amount of early apoptotic markers was observed by flow cytometry by 28 h postinfection. Comicroinjection of viral RNA and fluorescent dextran in the presence of neutralizing virus antibody suggested that these protrusions mediated the spread of infection from one cell to another prior to virus-induced cell lysis. Altogether, the CVB3-induced cellular protrusions could function as a hitherto-unknown nonlytic mechanism of cell-to-cell transmission exploited by enteroviruses.  相似文献

To see if integration of the provirus resulting from RNA tumor virus infection is limited to specific sites in the cell DNA, the variation in the number of copies of virus-specific DNA produced and integrated in chicken embryo fibroblasts after RAV-2 infection with different multiplicities has been determined at short times, long times, and several transfers after infection. The number of copies of viral DNA in cells was determined by initial hybridization kinetics of single-stranded viral complementary DNA with a moderate excess of cell DNA. The approach took into account the different sizes of cell DNA and complementary DNA in the hybridization mixture. It was found that uninfected chicken embryo fibroblasts have approximately seven copies, part haploid genome of DNA sequences homologous to part of the Rous-association virus 2 (RAV-2) genome. Infection with RAV-2 adds additional copies, and different sequences, of RAV -2- specific DNA. By 13 h postinfection, there are 3 to 10 additional copies per haploid genome. This number can not be increased by increasing the multiplicity of infection, and stays relatively constant up to 20 h postinfection, when some of the additional viral DNA is integrated. Between 20 and 40 h postinfection, the cells accumulated up to 100 copies per haploid genome of viral DNA. Most of these are unintegrated. This number decreases with cell transfer, until cells are left with one to three copies of additional viral DNA sequences per haploid genome, of which most are integrated. The finding that viral infection causes the permanent addition of one to three copies of integrated viral DNA, despite the cells being confronted with up to 100 copies per haploid genome after infection, is consistent with a hypothesis that chicken cells contain a limited number of specific integration sites for the oncornavirus genome.  相似文献

African swine fever virus (ASFV), the causative agent of one of the most devastating swine diseases, has been considered exclusively cytoplasmic, even though some authors have shown evidence of an early stage of nuclear replication. In the present study, an increment of lamin A/C phosphorylation was observed in ASFV-infected cells as early as 4 h postinfection, followed by the disassembling of the lamina network close to the sites where the viral genome starts its replication. At later time points, this and other nuclear envelope markers were found in the cytoplasm of the infected cells. The effect of the infection on the cell nucleus was much more severe than previously expected, since a redistribution of other nuclear proteins, such as RNA polymerase II, the splicing speckle SC-35 marker, and the B-23 nucleolar marker, was observed from 4 h postinfection. All this evidence, together with the redistribution, dephosphorylation, and subsequent degradation of RNA polymerase II after ASFV infection, suggests the existence of sophisticated mechanisms to regulate the nuclear machinery during viral infection.  相似文献

Mouse plasmacytoma ascites tumor cells (MOPC 460) were efficiently infected with encephalomyocarditis virus. Inhibition of host protein synthesis was evident after 2 h and complete by 4 h postinfection. The mechanism by which virus infection results in inhibition of host cell protein synthesis was studied in vitro. Cell-free protein-synthesizing systems, prepared from uninfected and infected cells, were found to be equally active with respect to their abilities to translate cellular and viral mRNAs. The plasmacytoma cell-free system was also shown to be insensitive to the addition of double-stranded viral RNA. Host cellular mRNA was isolated from uninfected and infected cells. No difference in the amount or size distribution of the mRNA was detected. However, the mRNA from infected cells was translated only 46 to 49% as actively as that from uninfected cells. mRNA isolated from cells in which initiation of protein synthesis was inhibited with pactamycin was similarly inactivated. Simultaneous addition of viral RNA and cellular mRNA to the plasmacytoma cell-free system resulted in a complete suppression of the translation of the cellular message, whereas viral RNA was translated normally.  相似文献

A study of protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis in cells infected by foot-and-mouth disease virus has indicated possible mechanisms of viral control over host cell metabolism. Foot-and-mouth disease virus infection of baby hamster kidney cells resulted in 50% inhibition of host cell protein synthesis at 180 min postinfection. A viral-induced interference with host cell RNA methylation was observed to be more rapidly inhibited than protein synthesis. To determine the nature of methylation inhibition, the kinetics of several host cell methylated RNA species were examined subsequent to virus infection. Data from sucrose zonal centrifugation and methylated albumin kieselguhr chromatography showed that methylation of nuclear RNA was inhibited 50% at 60 min postinfection. Inhibition of nuclear ribosomal RNA precursors and formation of nascent ribosomes correlated with inhibition kinetics of nuclear RNA methylation. It is suggested that the viral interference with the host nuclear RNA methylation is directly responsible for the observed loss of nascent ribosome formation. Moreover, early in the infectious cycle, methylation inhibition of host cell RNA could, in part, account for the cessation of host protein synthesis.  相似文献

Enteroviral persistence has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic human diseases, including dilated cardiomyopathy, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and chronic inflammatory myopathy. However, these viruses are considered highly cytolytic, and it is unclear what mechanisms might permit their long-term survival. Here, we describe the generation of a recombinant coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP), which we used to mark and track infected cells in vitro. Following exposure of quiescent tissue culture cells to either wild-type CVB3 or eGFP-CVB3, virus production was very limited but increased dramatically after cells were permitted to divide. Studies with cell cycle inhibitors revealed that cells arrested at the G(1) or G(1)/S phase could express high levels of viral polyprotein and produced abundant infectious virus. In contrast, both protein expression and virus yield were markedly reduced in quiescent cells (i.e., cells in G(0)) and in cells blocked at the G(2)/M phase. Following infection with eGFP-CVB3, quiescent cells retained viral RNA for several days in the absence of infectious virus production. Furthermore, RNA extracted from nonproductive quiescent cells was infectious when transfected into dividing cells, indicating that CVB3 appears to be capable of establishing a latent infection in G(0) cells, at least in tissue culture. Finally, wounding of infected quiescent cells resulted in viral protein expression limited to cells in and adjacent to the lesion. We suggest that (i) cell cycle status determines the distribution of CVB3 during acute infection and (ii) the persistence of CVB3 in vivo may rely on infection of quiescent (G(0)) cells incapable of supporting viral replication; a subsequent change in the cell cycle status may lead to virus reactivation, triggering chronic viral and/or immune-mediated pathology in the host.  相似文献
