چکیده

Treatment with interferon reduced the content of early virus-specific RNA, as well as the content of an early viral protein (T antigen), in monkey cells acutely infected with simian virus 40 (SV40). This unexpected finding suggests either that the action of interferon involves inhibition of the transcription of early SV40 messenger RNA, or that the SV40 genome contains a "proto-early" gene whose product is required for the transcription of the remaining early genes.

Control of simian virus 40 gene expression in adenovirus-simian virus 40 hybrid viruses. Synthesis of hybrid adenovirus 2-simian virus 40 RNA molecules in cells infected with a nondefective adenovirus 2-simian virus 40 hybrid virus.

The effect of interferon on simian virus 40 (SV40) and adenovirus 2 (Ad2) T antigen synthesis has been examined in cells infected with SV40, with Ad2, and with a nondefective Ad2-SV40 hybrid virus, Ad2(+)ND(4). The induction of SV40 T antigen by SV40 was highly sensitive to interferon, whereas the induction of Ad2 T-antigen by Ad2 was resistant. This difference in interferon sensitivity was als...

Transcription of the human beta interferon gene is inhibited by hepatitis B virus.

The manner by which the trans-acting factor encoded by the 1,828-base-pair (bp) BamHI DNA fragment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) suppresses the production of human beta interferon was determined. Steady-state levels of RNA specific for human beta interferon were decreased in cells that contained the 1,828-bp BamHI DNA fragment of HBV. The reduced accumulation of interferon-specific RNA was due to ...

Regulation of viral transcription in cells infected with iododeoxyuridine-substituted simian virus 40 as a model for the activation by iododeoxyuridine of latent viral genomes.

5-Iododeoxyuridine (IdUrd) induces the expression of viruses in a variety of cell lines that harbor latent viral genomes. Moreover, IdUrd stimulates cellular as well as viral RNA synthesis in certain cells. In order to understand better the action of IdUrd on RNA metabolism, we have examined viral RNA synthesis in monkeys cell infected with IdUrd-substituted simian virus 40 (SV40). Extensively ...
