Dissociation of vesicular stomatitis virus and relation of the virion proteins to the viral transcriptase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A procedure has been developed for the sequential removal and purification of the glycoprotein and membrane protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Neither of these proteins exhibited transcriptase activity. All of the activity was recovered in the ribonucleic acid (RNA)-ribonucleoprotein complex of VSV, which also has four other minor proteins associated with it. During transcription of 41% of the RNA of a virus preparation, no dissociation of the ribonucleoprotein from the viral RNA was observed.

Transcriptase activity associated with rabies virion.
Rabies virion-associated transcriptase activity was investigated in vitro and compared with that of the New Jersey serotype of vesicular stomatitis virus. The concentration of detergent that affected [3H]GMP incoporation into acid-insoluble material was significantly different for both viruses. Vesicular stomatitis virus New Jersey required 0.05 to 0.1% nonionic detergent, whereas rabies virion...
متن کاملCoupled in vitro transcription and translation of vesicular stomatitis virus messenger RNA ( vesicular stomatitis virus ribonucleoprotein cores / virion - associated RNA polymerase / cell - free protein synthesis / slab gel electrophoresis )
The virion transcriptase (nucleosidetriphosphate:RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.6) of vesicular stomatitis virus was fully active when ribonucleoprotein cores from purified virions were added to cell-free protein synthesizing systems of eukaryotic origin. Synthesis of mRNA was linear for at least 3 hr and the newly synthesized viral mRNA was efficiently utilized for the synthesis of viral...
متن کاملRNA- temperature-sensitive mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus: L-protein thermosensitivity accounts for transcriptase restriction of group I mutants.
In vitro transcriptase activity of three group I temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus restricted at 39 C was restored by L-protein fractions derived from wild-type (wt) vesicular stomatitis virion nucleo-capsids. Soluble NS protein from wt nucleocapsids did not reconstitute restricted transcriptions of the group I RNA-ts mutants. NS protein activity, but not L protei...
متن کاملMaturation of viral proteins in cells infected with temperature-sensitive mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus.
Maturation of viral proteins in cells infected with mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus was studied by surface iodination and cell fractionation. The movement of G, M, and N proteins to the virion bud appeared to be interdependent. Mutations thought to be in G protein prevented its migration to the cell surface, allowed neither M nor N protein to become membrane bound, and blocked formation o...
متن کاملMechanism of Sindbis virus-induced intrinsic interference with vesicular stomatitis virus replication.
Heterologous viral interference is induced by Sindbis virus against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in a manner analogous to intrinsic interference with Newcastle disease virus replication. Interference in both systems (i) depends upon early expression of the inducing virus genome, (ii) shows similar kinetics of induction, (iii) does not involve interferon action, and (iv) appears to be manife...
