Infection of cultures of peritoneal macrophages with both lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) and mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) resulted in the formation of pseudotype virions containing LDV RNA which productively infected cells that are resistant to infection by intact LDV virions but not to infection by MHV. These cells were mouse L-2 and 3T3-17Cl-1 cells as well as residual peritoneal macrophages from persistently LDV-infected mice. Productive LDV infection of these cells via pseudotype virions was inhibited by antibodies to the MHV spike protein or to the MHV receptor, indicating that LDV RNA entered the cells via particles containing the MHV envelope. Simultaneous exposure of L-2 cells to both LDV and MHV resulted in infection by MHV but not by LDV. The results indicate that an internal block to LDV replication is not the cause of the LDV nonpermissiveness of many cell types, including the majority of the macrophages in an adult mouse. Instead, LDV permissiveness is restricted to a subpopulation of mouse macrophages because only these cells possess a surface component that acts as an LDV receptor.  相似文献

Promastigotes of Leishmania donovani, 2S strain, or hamster peritoneal exudate cells, were pulse labeled in vitro with [3H]uridine or [3H]leucine. Washed labeled parasites were used to infect unlabeled macrophages in Leighton tube cultures. Washed labeled cells in Leighton tube cultures were also infected with unlabeled parasites. Cover slips were harvested at various times following infection, methanol fixed, and washed in cold trichloroacetic acid, dipped in NTB-3 nuclear emulsion (Kodak) and developed after 2 wk in the dark. Grain counts and photographs showed that when host cells were prelabeled with either compound then radioactive material accumulated in the parasite. Likewise, when parasites were prelabeled, radioactive material accumulated in the host cells. Experiments using [6-3H]uridine, RNAse, DNAse, and prelabeled macroghages indicated parasites were synthesizing DNA from host cell RNA precursors or precursor pool. The studies thus describe a system for investigating the molecular level relationships between Leishmania species and their host cells.  相似文献

RNA labeled with [3H]uridine from Vero cells infected with San Miguel sea lion virus in the presence of actinomycin D was analyzed by glycerol density gradient sedimentation and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The predominant single-stranded RNA (36S, 2.6 x 10(6) molecular weight) was genome size. There was also a prominent 22S, 1.1 x 10(6)-molecular weight, single-stranded component and one or more double-stranded or partially double-stranded classes. Replicative forms, sedimenting at 18S, contained single-stranded RNA corresponding to the larger-molecular-weight class. All classes of intracellular RNA and virion RNA were polyadenylated. These findings and results with pig kidney cells infected with vesicular exanthema of swine virus and feline cells infected with feline calicivirus indicate that caliciviruses exhibit a strategy of replication different from typical picornaviruses and supports removal of the caliciviruses from the family Picornaviridae.  相似文献

1. EDTA inhibited incorporation of [3H]uridine into RNA of lymphocytes, but did not decrease uptake into the cold-acid-soluble fraction of the cells. The inhibition by EDTA was largely reversible by simultaneous addition of Zn2+. 2. Low concentrations pf actinomycin D (3 ng/ml) added at the time of stimulation of the cells inhibited [3H]uridine incorporation into RNA, but concentrations of 50-100 ng/ml were required to produce the same degree of inhibition if addition of actinomycin D was delayed until just before the incorporation was measured. This difference in sensitivity did not reg within the cells. 3. When added immediately before phytohaemagglutinin, actinomycin D (3 ng/ml) and EDTA produced similar time-courses of inhibition of uridine incorporation. 4. Uridine incorporation at 32h was inhibited when actinomycin D (3 ng/ml) or EDTA was added just before stimulation of the cells, but was only slightly affected when they were added at 32h. At intermediate times the incorporation of uridine remained sensitive to addition of EDTA for longer than it was sensitive to actinomycin D. 5. Polyacrylamide-gel separation of RNA synthesized in EDTA-treated cultures in the presence or absence of added Zn2+ showed that lower availability of Zn2+ resulted in a decreased rate of transfer of radioactivity from 32S to 28S rRNA and decreased survival of 28S rRNA relative to 18S rRNA. 6. Close similarities have been shown to exist between the effects of EDTA and low concentrations of actinomycin D. Not all the effects of EDTA could be explained by postulating that Zn2+ was a constituent of RNA polymerase I, nor were the effects of actinomycin D readily explained by previously suggested mechanisms of action of this antibiotic.  相似文献

The study of the effects of actinomycin D on stationary cultures of Chinese hamster cells and those stimulated by medium changing has revealed that RNA synthesis is more sensitive in the latter, the difference in the first place being attributed to the rate of labeled uridine incorporation into cell nucleoli. There is no significant difference in H3-actinomycin D uptake between stationary and stimulated cells, but the latter incorporate more labeled actinomycin D into their nuclei. A pronounced variation in sensitivity to actinomycin D is observed during the prereplicative period of stimulated cells. The first part of this period is more sensitive, which may be due to the necessity for stimulated cells to synthesize a great number of ribosomes to enter the mitotic cycle and to proceed through it.  相似文献

Some Syrian hamster cell lines persistently infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) do not produce extracellular virus particles but do contain intracytoplasmic infectious material. The proteins of these cells were labeled with [35S]methionine or with [3H]glucosamine and [3H]mannose, and immunoprecipitates were prepared with anti-LCMV sera. A substantial amount of the LCMV nucleocapsid protein (molecular weight about 58,000) was detected, along with GP-C, the precursor of the virion glycoproteins GP-1 and GP-2. GP-1 and GP-2 themselves were not detected. A new method of transferring proteins electrophoretically from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels to diazotized paper in high yield revealed several additional LCMV proteins present specifically in the persistently infected cells, at apparent molecular weights (X10(3] of 112, 107, 103, 89, 71 (probably GP-C), 58 (nucleocapsid protein), 42 to 47 (probably GP-1), and 40 (possibly GP-2). By iodinating intact cells with I3, GP-1 but not GP-2 or GP-C was revealed on the surfaces of the persistently infected cells, whereas both GP-1 and GP-C were found on the surfaces of acutely infected cells. The absence of GP-C from the plasma membrane of the persistently infected cells might be related to defective maturation of the virus in these cells. Cytoplasmic viral nucleoprotein complexes were labeled with [3H]uridine in the presence or absence of actinomycin D, purified partially by sedimentation in D2O-sucrose gradients, and adsorbed to fixed Staphylococus aureus cells in the presence of anti-LCMV immunoglobulin G. Several discrete species of viral RNA were released from the immune complexes with sodium dodecyl sulfate. Some were appreciably smaller than the 31S and 23S species of standard LCMV virions, indicating that defective interfering viral RNAs are probably present in the persistently infected cells. Ribosomal 28S and 18S RNAs, labeled only in the absence of actinomycin D, were coprecipitated with anti-LCMV serum but not with control serum, indicating their association with LCMV nucleoproteins in the cells.  相似文献

The utilization of [3H]-5-uridine by CP-1268 cells was studied. Uridine was rapidly transported into these cells by a concentration dependent, saturable process. Exogenous uridine rapidly equilibrated with cellular nucleotide pools and virtually all of the uridine transported into the cells was phosphorylated. Uridine incorporation into RNA was studied by continuous and pulse-labeling techniques in the prescence or absence of actinomycin D and cordycepin. These studies have shown that the pattern of unstable RNA precursor and relatively stable RNA product relationship known to exist in mammalian cells similarly exists in insect cells in vitro. This pattern varied markedly with pulse-labeling time and required the addition of RNA inhibitors to block reincorporation of intracellular labeled metabolites during the chase.  相似文献

In vitro incorporation of [Me-3H] thymidine and [5-3H] uridine into human platelets was demonstrated. Thymidine incorporation was inhibited by three specific inhibitors of DNA synthesis: hydroxyurea, cytosine arabinoside and daunomycin. The effect was dose-dependent. Uridine uptake by platelets was found to be inhibited by specific inhibitors of RNA synthesis such as actinomycin D, rifampicin and vincristine, the effect of actinomycin D being dose dependent. The drug also led to a time-dependent inhibition of protein synthesis when preincubated with platelets. The platelet RNA profile on polyacrylamide gel was demonstrated to be similar to that of embryonic mouse erythroblast RNA. Synthesis of all three fractions, 28 S, 18 S and 4 S, was inhibited by actinomycin D. These findings show that human platelets are capable of DNA and RNA synthesis, and that these activities play a role in controlling protein synthesis in these cells. Detectable amounts of DNA have been found in whole human platelets, and in isolated mitochondria derived from these cells. Isolated platelet mitochondria incorporated [3H] thymidine and [3H] uridine into their macromolecules. These activities were inhibited by daunomycin and by both rifampicin and actinomycin D, respectively. These results support the assumption that DNA and RNA synthesis found in intact cell preparations takes place most probably in platelet mitochondria.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to begin investigating the nature of liposome interactions with colon tumor cells. Thus, experiments were performed to study the uptake and incorporation of multilamellar and of reverse-phase evaporation liposomes of neutral charge into monolayers, suspended spinner cultures, and trypsinized cells of a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, LS174T. The results showed that the same tumor cells cultured under each condition exhibited a distinct pattern of vesicle uptake as determined at 0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min. In monolayer cultures of LS174T cells, the uptake of liposomes bearing [3H]actinomycin D in the lipid bilayers was linear throughout the incubation period. In contrast, in trypsinized and spinner suspension cultures, uptake of liposomes was biphasic. There was a proportional uptake of both liposome (labeled with [3H]phosphatidylcholine or [14C]cholesterol) and of actinomycin D (trace labeled with 3H) into the cells under all culture conditions, indicating quantitative delivery of the drug with the intact lipid vesicle. Although the amount of actinomycin D presented to tumor cells by the two liposomes was equivalent, reverse-phase evaporation liposomes were more effective than multilamellar vesicles in inhibiting uridine uptake. In the presence of excess liposomes (10 times the uptake studies), saturation of the tumor cell surface occurred by 120 min. However, the liposomes remained accessible to enzymatic removal for 60 min. Liposome-saturated tumor cells remained refractory to further binding of liposomes for at least 2 hr. The results thus revealed that differences in cell uptake were due to the state of the target cells and not the liposome types, or their differential leakage of labels.  相似文献

More than 50 RNAs expressed by Epstein-Barr virus late in productive infection have been identified. B95-8-infected cells were induced to a relatively high level of permissive infection with the tumor promotor 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Polyadenylated RNAs were extracted from the cell cytoplasm, separated by size on formaldehyde gels, transferred to nitrocellulose, and hybridized to labeled recombinant Epstein-Barr virus DNA fragments. Comparison of RNAs from induced cultures with RNAs from induced cultures also treated with phosphonoacetic acid to inhibit viral DNA synthesis identifies two RNA classes: a persistent early class of RNAs whose abundance is relatively resistant to viral DNA synthesis inhibition and a late class of RNAs whose abundance is relatively sensitive to viral DNA synthesis inhibition. The persistent early and late RNAs are not clustered but are intermixed and scattered through most of segments UL and US. The cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNAs expressed during latent infection were not detected in productively infected cells, indicating that different classes of viral RNA are associated with latent and productive infection. Non-polyadenylated small RNAs originally identified in cells latently infected with Epstein-Barr virus are expressed in greater abundance in productively infected cells and are part of the early RNA class.  相似文献

Theophylline (theobromine, caffeine) reversibly inhibits the incorporation of labeled RNA precursors both in confluent 37 RC and in exponentially growing HeLa cells. As measured in 37 RC after 2 h labeling, 20 mM theophylline reduces the incorporation of [3H]UTP and [14C]uridine into acid-precipitable material to 5% and 9% of the control, respectively. This reduction is paralleled by a comparably lowered incorporation of the same precursors into the acid-soluble pool. The initial rate of incorporation into total cell material is similarly affected by theophylline, the inhibition being of a simple competitive type. Theophylline does not alter the turnover rate of pulse labeled RNA during actinomycin D chase nor does it preclude the utilization of the endogenous pool of nucleoside phosphates. Upto a concentration of 10 mM, it does not inhibit uridine kinase neither in 37 RC nor in HeLa cells. The mentioned inhibitory effects of theophylline cannot be mimicked by exogenously added cyclic AMP. All the data support the conclusion that theophylline inhibits the transport of uridine into the cell.  相似文献

The effects of estrogen on the uridine uptake into cells were examined in primary cultures of liver parenchymal cells from Xenopus laevis. The total uptake of [3H]uridine into the estrogen-treated cells and its incorporation into RNA were about 1.5 times higher than the values for control cells. The uptake of [3H]adenosine and its incorporation into RNA were not affected by estrogen. An experiment in which liver parenchymal cells were double labeled with [3H]uridine and [3H]adenosine showed that estrogen elevated the specific radioactivity of the UTP pool 1.4-fold the value found for the control cells, but that of the ATP pool was not altered by estrogen. Short term labeling revealed that estrogen did not significantly alter the rate of the initial uptake of [3H]uridine into the cells, but it did stimulate [3H]uridine phosphorylation about 1.7-fold. Uridine kinase activity measured in cell-free extracts of hepatocytes treated with estrogen had a value 1.6 times that of the control cells. These data indicate that the stimulation of [3H]uridine uptake and phosphorylation in Xenopus laevis hepatocytes in the presence of estrogen is caused by the enhancement of uridine kinase activity.  相似文献

More [3H]uridine was incorporated into RNA of SV40-infected than into uninfected cells 31 h after infection. When the specific activity of the uridine triphosphate pools in infected and uninfected cells was equated by the addition of appropriate amounts of exogenous unlabelled uridine, no difference in the rate of [3H]uridine incorporation into RNA was observed. Although no difference in [3H]uridine entry or phosphorylation was demonstrable, the apparently smaller pools of endogenous RNA precursors in infected cells resulted in less isotope dilution and thus to synthesis of uridine triphosphate and RNA of higher specific activity.  相似文献

Indirect immunostaining of avian reovirus S1133-infected L-cell monolayers showed that most of the cells can support viral replication. However, the number of cells in which the virus was actually replicating depended on the multiplicity of virus infection. The presence of actinomycin D during infection increased viral protein synthesis, viral growth, and the number of actively infected cells at late infection times. The antibiotic elicited these effects by triggering viral replication in cells that already contained unproductive cytoplasmic virus but that would not get productively infected in the absence of the drug. From these results, we propose a model for the interaction between L cells and avian reovirus S1133 in which viral versus host mRNA competition for the translational machinery determines the fate of the virus infection.  相似文献

Total RNA was extracted from primary cultures of mouse macrophages isolated from 10-day-old mice 6 to 12 h postinfection with lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV). Poly(A)+ RNA was extracted from spleens of 18-h LDV-infected mice. The RNAs were analyzed by Northern (RNA) blot hybridization with a number of LDV-specific cDNAs as probes. A cDNA representing the nucleocapsid protein (VP-1) gene located at the 3' terminus of the viral genome (E. K. Godeny, D. W. Speicher, and M. A. Brinton, Virology 177:768-771, 1990) hybridized to viral genomic RNA of about 13 kb plus seven subgenomic RNAs ranging in size from about 1 to about 3.6 kb. Two other cDNA clones hybridized only to the four or five largest subgenomic RNAs, respectively. In contrast, two cDNAs encoding continuous open reading frames with replicase and zinc finger motifs hybridized only to the genomic RNA. The replicase motif exhibited 75% amino acid identity to that of the 1b protein of equine arteritis virus (EAV) and 44% amino acid identity to those of the 1b proteins of coronaviruses and Berne virus. Combined, the results indicate that LDV replication involves formation of a 3'-coterminal-nested set of mRNAs as observed for coronaviruses and toroviruses as well as for EAV, with which LDV shares many other properties. Overall, LDV, like EAV, possesses a genome organization resembling that of the coronaviruses and toroviruses. However, EAV and LDV differ from the latter in the size of their genomes, virion size and structure, nature of the structural proteins, and symmetry of the nucleocapsids.  相似文献

Kinetics of poliovirus replication in HeLa cells infected by isolated RNA   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Under conditions with the least toxicity for cells compatible with an optimal sensitizing effect for RNA infection, 47% of HeLa cells can be infected by viral RNA. Both RNA and virus infective centers produce identical amounts, i.e. 2000 PFU of progeny virus per infective center and both incorporate 3H uridine in equal quantities. After infection with an effective multiplicity of ten PFU of virus or RNA, virus maturation occurs thirty minutes earlier in RNA-infected cells as compared to virus-infected cells.  相似文献

Newcastle Disease Virus Infection of L Cells   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) California strain reportedly grows poorly in L cells but replicates very well in chicken embryo cells. NDV-infected L cell cultures show a characteristic virus growth curve with respect to uridine incorporation, but plaque assays of the virus produced 24 h postinfection (PI) show no infectious particles when assayed on L cell monolayers and only a very low titer on chick cell monolayers. Plasma membranes isolated and purified from infected L cells 8 h PI contain all of the major virion proteins. In addition, NDV-infected L cells show a 50% loss of H-2 antigenic activity, a phenomenon previously observed in cells productively infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. These results suggest that at least part of the normal process of NDV maturation occurs in NDV-infected L cells. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel patterns of supernatant virus purified from cells radiolabeled with amino acids from 3 to 24 h PI in the presence of actinomycin D show that all the major NDV structural proteins are present. Electron micrographs of NDV-infected L cells show extensive virus maturation at cell membranes. It can be concluded that infection of L cells with NDV results in a normal production of virus-specific RNA, synthesis of all the major structural proteins, association of the viral envelope proteins with the L cell plasma membrane, and the loss of cell surface H-2 antigenic activity. However, most of the virus particles produced are noninfectious.  相似文献

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase activity was assayed on nuclear preparations of chick embryo fibroblast cells at various times after infection with an influenza A virus (fowl plague virus) and was compared with the activity of uninfected cells. Polymerase activity was increased by about 60% by 2 hr after infection, and this increase coincided with an increase in RNA synthesis in infected cells, as determined by pulse-labeling with uridine. No difference could be detected between the polymerases of infected and uninfected cells as to their requirements for DNA primer, divalent cations, and nucleoside triphosphates, and they were equally sensitive to addition of actinomycin D to the reaction mixture. It is possible that host cell DNA-dependent RNA polymerase is involved in the replication of influenza virus RNA.  相似文献
