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

Cell-free protein-synthetic systems from normal and interferon-treated chick cells were compared. No difference was found in the amino acid incorporation activities of such ribosome-cell sap systems or in their response to polyuridylic acid. Throughout a variety of experiments we failed to detect the formation of a discrete peak of virus-specific polysomes, when ribosome monomers and subunits (from interferon-treated or control cells) were incubated with labeled Sindbis or Semliki Forest virus ribonucleic acid (RNA). Some binding of viral RNA did occur, but the complexes formed were evident in sucrose gradients as a broad, rapidly sedimenting shoulder on the ribosome monomer peak. Interferon pretreatment of cells did not affect the formation of these complexes in vitro, nor did it alter their rate of breakdown on incubation under amino acid incorporation conditions. Experiments with inhibitors of protein synthesis showed that such "breakdown" was not dependent upon amino acid incorporation and was not an index of translation. In these respects, our results are in marked contrast to those of Marcus and Salb. These results, together with our failure to detect any significant change in the protein composition of ribosomes from interferon-treated cells, suggest that such treatment does not result in a modification of the ribosome per se. They do not, however, rule out the involvement of a factor(s) required for ribosomes and viral RNA to function in viral protein synthesis. Indeed, it remains likely that interferon acts through such a mechanism, although the precise level at which the inhibition occurs remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

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

Infection of cells treated with guanidine and actinomycin D and then washed to remove the guanidine inhibition of virus growth had no effect on antiviral activity already established by interferon. Protein synthesis in interferon-treated cells infected under these conditions was decreased as compared to control cells similarly treated but not exposed to interferon. In these control cells, analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that six proteins were produced during the first hour after guanidine reversal. Five of these proteins have been previously identified as probably being viral in origin. In interferon-treated cells, only a single major protein was produced. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis by Semliki Forest virus during the first hour after guanidine reversal was markedly depressed by incubation at 42 C, but no inhibition of total virus protein synthesis was seen; this finding suggested that much of the virus protein produced in the first hour after guanidine reversal was carried out by input virus RNA. Interferon was fully active in cells incubated at 42 C. The results suggested that interferon inhibits the production of Semliki Forest virus proteins ordinarily produced under the direction of the virus genome. 相似文献

We reported earlier that in cell extracts that were prepared from interferon-treated Ehrlich ascites tumor cells and preincubated and passed through Sephadex G-25 (S30INT), the translation of exogenous mRNA (viral and host) was impaired and the impairment could be overcome to a large extent by adding a crude tRNA preparation from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells but not from Escherichia coli. We find now that the rate of inactivation of some tRNA's (especially those specific for leucine, lysine, and serine) but not those of many others is faster in S30INT than in corresponding extracts from control cells. This increased rate of tRNA inactivation may perhaps account for the need for added RNA to overcome at least partially the impairment of translation in S30INT. The relationship of the increased rate of tRNA inactivation to the antiviral effect of interferon is unclear. So far no significant difference has been detected in the amount of tRNA needed to overcome the impairment of encephalomyocarditis virus RNA translation in S30INT between tRNA from interferon-treated cells and tRNA from control cells. Furthermore, no difference was found in the rate of inactivation in S30INT between leucine-specific tRNA's from interferon-treated and from control cells. tRNA's specific for leucine and lysine were not inactivated (unless very slowly) during incubation under our conditions in an extract from interferon-treated (or from control) cells unless the extract had been passed through Sephadex G-25 or dialyzed. The translation of exogenous mRNA was, however, impaired in an extract from interferon-treated cells that had not been passed through Sephadex G-25. This impairment was apparently not overcome by added tRNA. 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

Replenishment of medium after 72 hr of growth of HeLa-S3 cells in dense suspension cultures increased [3H]-thymidine uptake into cells and incorporation into DNA, with the levels reaching a peak ~ 12 hr following medium change; β interferon inhibits the enhanced uptake of [3H]-thymidine and labeling of DNA in a dose-dependent manner. Some reduction in these processes is observed at a concentration as low as 1 u/ml, and ~ 75% inhibition at 640 u/ml. Kinetic analysis has revealed that the rate of labeling of the acid-soluble pool with [3H]-thymidine, measured either at 22°C, or 37°C, is reduced in interferon-treated (640 u/ml, 24 hr) HeLa-S3 cells. At 22°C, the initial rate of thymidine transport at a high (500 μM) thymidine concentration, determined within the first 30 sec of [3H]-thymidine addition was depressed by 44% in interferon-treated HeLa cells. At 37°C, labeled precursors accumulate in acid-soluble material for ~ 8 min after the addition of [3H]-thymidine, after which an apparent equilibrium level is attained. At this temperature, the rate of thymidine uptake and the apparent equilibrium level attained were depressed by 70% in interferon-treated HeLa cells. The reduced incorporation of [3H]-thymidine into DNA in interferon-treated HeLa-S3 cells can be largely explained by interferon inhibition of thymidine transport and phosphorylation. 相似文献

The effect of interferon on the expression of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein G gene was examined in simian COS cells transfected with the expression vector pSVGL containing the G gene under the control of the SV40 late promoter. When COS cells were treated with interferon 24 h after transfection, the synthesis of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein was inhibited by about 80% as compared to that in untreated controls. By contrast, under the same conditions, neither the plasmid copy number nor the G gene mRNA levels were detectably affected by interferon treatment. Likewise, the synthesis of simian virus 40 large T-antigen was not inhibited by interferon treatment of transfected COS cells even though the synthesis of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein was markedly inhibited. The residual G protein synthesized in transfected, interferon-treated COS cells appeared to be normally glycosylated. 相似文献

Induction of interferon in HeLa cells of a protein kinase activated by double-stranded RNA 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Treatment of HeLa cells with human fibroblast interferon results in increased levels of latent protein kinase activity that can be activated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The protein kinase activity in extracts of interferon-treated cells is assayed by two methods: (a) inhibition of protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates and (b) phosphorylation of two polypeptides of Mr 72000 (P1) and 38000 (the eIF-2 alpha subunit of initiation factor 2). When extracts of interferon-treated cells are fractionated by centrifugation at 150000 x g, the protein kinase activity is found in the pellet fraction. The kinase is maximally activated by 0.1 micrograms/ml poly(I) . poly(C). An increase in protein kinase activity is detected after 8 h of treatment with 100 units interferon/ml or after a 17-h treatment with 12.5 units/ml or greater interferon concentrations. Therefore, the kinase activity increases as a function of both time of treatment and interferon concentration. Addition of actinomycin D to cells during interferon treatment prevents this increase. The protein kinase activity decreases gradually over three days when interferon-treated cells are subsequently grown in the absence of interferon. 相似文献

Treatment of cells from inbred mouse strains A/J and A2G with interferon resulted in the development of different antiviral states for influenza viruses. A2G mice-derived cells that carry the resistance gene Mx were efficiently protected by interferon against influenza viruses, whereas the interferon protection against the same viruses in wild-type A/J mice-derived cells was only marginal. The two cell types, however, were equally protected by interferon against vesicular stomatitis virus and other non-orthomyxoviruses. The interferon-induced mRNAs of mouse embryonic fibroblast cells that carried either homozygous wild-type alleles or homozygous Mx alleles were compared. The isolated polysome-bound mRNAs from A/J (+/+) and A2G (Mx/Mx) cells were translated in a cell-free translation system, and the translation products were analyzed after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. New mRNAs coding for at least eight proteins with molecular weights (MW) ranging from 30,000 to 80,000 were found in interferon-treated cells but not in control cells. Differences in the interferon-induced mRNAs from A/J and A2G cells were also found. An mRNA coding for a 72,000-MW protein was found in interferon-treated A2G cells but not in interferon-treated A/J cells. Interferon-treated A/J cells, on the other hand, contained an mRNA coding for a 65,000-MW protein that was not found in interferon-treated A2G cells. The in vitro-synthesized 65,000-MW protein efficiently bound to GMP. Cytoplasmic extracts prepared from interferon-treated A/J cells also contained a GMP-binding 65,000-MW protein that was undetectable in similarly treated A2G cells. 相似文献

The effect of interferon treatment on the translation and the stability of simian virus 40 (SV40) early mRNA coding for T-antigen was examined in tsA-infected monkey kidney BSC-1 cells at 40°. Neither the translation nor the stability of SV40 early mRNA was altered by interferon under cellular conditions where the synthesis of reovirus polypeptides was significantly inhibited by interferon. SV40 early mRNA decayed with a half-life of about 3 hours as measured by T-antigen synthesis; the decay rate was indistinguishable between untreated and interferon-treated cells. 相似文献

Interferon does not inactivate viruses or viral RNA. Virus growth is inhibited in interferon-treated cells, but apart from conferring resistance to virus growth, no other effect of interferon on cells has been definitely shown to take place. Interferon binds to cells even in the cold, but a period of incubation at 37°C is required for development of antiviral activity. Cytoplasmic uptake of interferon has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Studies with antimetabolites indicate that the antiviral action of interferon requires host RNA and protein synthesis. Experiments with 2-mercapto-1(β-4-pyridethyl) benzimidazole (MPB) suggest that an additional step is required between the binding and the synthesis of macromolecules. Interferon does not affect the adsorption, penetration, or uncoating of RNA or DNA viruses, but viral RNA synthesis is inhibited in cells infected with RNA viruses. The main action of interferon appears to be the inhibition of the translation of virus genetic information probably by inhibiting the initiation of virus protein synthesis. 相似文献

A drastic inhibition of protein synthesis occurs in HeLa cells treated with human lymphoblastoid interferon and infected with poliovirus. At the time when this inhibition has been established no degradation of 32P-labelled ribosomal RNA can be detected. Isolation of the mRNAs from poliovirus-infected cells plus or minus interferon treatment, followed by translation in a reticulocyte lysate indicates that cellular mRNAs remain active. These results suggest that gross degradation of cellular RNA does not occur in interferon-treated poliovirus-infected HeLa cells and that a non-specific nuclease induced by 2′–5′ A is not responsible for the inhibition of protein synthesis observed. 相似文献

Interferon treatment of JLSV-6 cells chronically infected with Rauscher MuLV leads to the formation of noninfectious particles (interferon virions) containing the structural proteins of env and gag genes as well as additional viral polypeptides. In the control virions the major glycoprotein detected is gp71, interferon virions contain in addition to gp71 and 85k dalton (gp85) glucosamine-containing, fucose-deficient glycoprotein which is recognized by antiserum to MuLV but not by the gp71 antiserum. The surface iodination of the intact virions indicates that both gp71 and gp85 are the major components of the external virions envelope. However, unlike the control virions in which gp71 associates with p15E (gp90), the gp71-p15E complex was not detected in interferon virions. The analysis of the iodinated proteins of the disrupted interferon virions revealed the presence of 85k and 65k dalton polypeptides preciptable with antiserum against MuLV, which are not present in the control virions. The difference in the polypeptide pattern of virions produced in the presence of interferon does not seem to be a consequence of the slowdown in the synthesis of viral proteins or their processing in the interferon-treated cells. Both the structural proteins of env and gag genes seem to be synthesized and processed at a comparable rate in the interferon-treated and -untreated cells. These results indicate an alteration of virus assembly in the presence of interferon. 相似文献

The activity of ribosome and cell-sap fractions from interferon-treated and control chick embryo fibroblasts was compared in mixed chick-mouse and purely chick cell-free systems capable of the synthesis of viral polypeptide(s) in response to viral ribonucleic acid (RNA). Interferon treatment of cells did not affect the intrinsic amino acid incorporation activity of these systems or their response to polyuridylic acid. With encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus RNA as messenger, however, a fraction of the ribosomes from interferon-treated cells appeared less active than parallel controls. The results obtained with the corresponding cell-sap fractions were variable. Although competition between endogenous and added messengers cannot be excluded in these systems, a reduced level of translation of EMC RNA with interferon-treated cell ribosomes was also suggested by the results of analyses of tryptic digests of the products formed in response to the RNA. In addition, these analyses showed that this reduced activity must reflect a reduction in the rate or frequency of translation rather than a decrease in the length of the EMC RNA translated, for the same polypeptides were synthesized in response to the RNA with material from interferon-treated and control cells. Interferon added directly to the cell-free system was without effect. Although suggestive, these results do not provide definitive evidence for or against the hypothesis that virus protein synthesis is inhibited at the translational level in the interferon-treated cell. Possible alternative interpretations of the data are discussed. 相似文献

Inhibition of cell division by interferons: Changes in the transport and intracellular metabolism of thymidine in human lymphoblastoid (Daudi) cells 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The Daudi line of human lymphoblastoid cells shows a high sensitivity towards growth inhibition by human interferons. In cells pretreated with 70 reference units/ml of an interferon preparation for 48 h, the incorporation of exogenous [3H]thymidine into DNA is inhibited by as much as 85%. We are investigating the extent to which this effect reflects a true inhibition of the rate of DNA synthesis or whether it may be caused by changes in the metabolic utilization of exogenous thymidine by the cells. Interferon treatment results in a 30% inhibition of the rate of membrane transport and a 60% decrease in the rate of phosphorylation of [3H]thymidine in vivo. The latter effect is due to a decrease in V of thymidine kinase without any change in the value of Km for this enzyme. In addition to these changes, incorporation of [3H]uridine into DNA, which occurs as a result of the intracellular conversion of this precursor into thymidine nucleotides, is also inhibited by 75%, whereas RNA labelling by [3H]uridine is decreased by only 15% in interferon-treated cells. Thus several different metabolic events associated with thymidine nucleotide metabolism and DNA synthesis in Daudi cells are disrupted by interferon treatment. 相似文献

Independent regulation of ppp(A2'p)nA-dependent RNase in NIH 3T3, clone 1 cells by growth arrest and interferon treatment 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The regulation of ppp(A2'p)nA-(2-5A)-dependent RNase (RNase L or RNase F) was investigated in NIH 3T3, clone 1 cells using 2-5A-binding and nuclease activity assays. Minimal levels of 2-5A-dependent RNase were detected in actively dividing clone 1 cells; these levels were independently induced by growth arrest or interferon treatment. Accordingly, levels of the RNase were enhanced during growth arrest by confluency regardless of the presence or absence of interferon or antibody to interferon in the media. Measurement of 2-5A-dependent RNase was unaffected by the addition of any of six different proteinase inhibitors to the cells prior to extraction. The expression of 2-5A-dependent RNase in growth-arrested, interferon-treated cells was still relatively low (about one-third to one-half of that found in similarly treated murine Ehrlich ascites tumor cells). Although this amount of 2-5A-dependent RNase could not be detected by 2-5A-mediated ribosomal RNA cleavage, the activity was identified using a more sensitive novel assay for 2-5A-dependent RNase. In addition, introduction of 2-5A or poly(I) X poly(C) into growth-arrested, interferon-treated cells resulted in some inhibition of protein synthesis. The results indicated that the expression of 2-5A-dependent RNase in NIH 3T3, clone 1 cells is regulated under different physiological conditions and that low levels of 2-5A-dependent RNase were insufficient to significantly inhibit encephalomyocarditis virus replication. 相似文献

The activity of 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase, an enzyme recently discovered in interferon-treated cells, was found in lymphocytes from normal mouse spleen that had received neither exogenous interferon nor its inducers. The oligoadenylate synthesized by lymphocyte cell extracts inhibited protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates. The oligomers were composed mainly of trimer and were resistant to digestion by T2 ribonuclease. The level of the enzyme in lymphocytes was about 20 to 30% of that in L929 cells treated with interferon. The activity of the enzyme was further enhanced in lymphocytes in vitro by addition of interferon. The 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase was distributed among several lymphoid tissues, but was not detected in cell extracts from brain or liver. The enzyme may play an important role in the regulation of the immune system. 相似文献
