Inhibition of poliovirus RNA synthesis by brefeldin A.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brefeldin A (BFA), a fungal metabolite that blocks transport of newly synthesized proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum, was found to inhibit poliovirus replication 10(5)- to 10(6)-fold. BFA does not inhibit entry of poliovirus into the cell or translation of viral RNA. Poliovirus RNA synthesis, however, is completely inhibited by BFA. A specific class of membranous vesicles, with which the poliovirus replication complex is physically associated, is known to proliferate in poliovirus-infected cells. BFA may inhibit poliovirus replication by preventing the formation of these vesicles.

Brefeldin A inhibits cell-free, de novo synthesis of poliovirus.
Brefeldin A (BFA), an inhibitor of intracellular vesicle-dependent secretory transport, is a potent inhibitor of poliovirus RNA replication in infected cells. We have determined that the unknown mechanism of BFA inhibition of replication is reproduced in the cell-free poliovirus translation, replication, and encapsidation system. Furthermore, we provide evidence suggesting that the cellular mec...
متن کاملA Critical Role of a Cellular Membrane Traffic Protein in Poliovirus RNA Replication
Replication of many RNA viruses is accompanied by extensive remodeling of intracellular membranes. In poliovirus-infected cells, ER and Golgi stacks disappear, while new clusters of vesicle-like structures form sites for viral RNA synthesis. Virus replication is inhibited by brefeldin A (BFA), implicating some components(s) of the cellular secretory pathway in virus growth. Formation of charact...
متن کاملPoliovirus proteins induce membrane association of GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor.
Poliovirus infection results in the disintegration of intracellular membrane structures and formation of specific vesicles that serve as sites for replication of viral RNA. The mechanism of membrane rearrangement has not been clearly defined. Replication of poliovirus is sensitive to brefeldin A (BFA), a fungal metabolite known to prevent normal function of the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) fam...
متن کاملThe poliovirus replication machinery can escape inhibition by an antiviral drug that targets a host cell protein.
Viral replication depends on specific interactions with host factors. For example, poliovirus RNA replication requires association with intracellular membranes. Brefeldin A (BFA), which induces a major rearrangement of the cellular secretory apparatus, is a potent inhibitor of poliovirus RNA replication. Most aspects governing the relationship between viral replication complex and the host memb...
متن کاملAntiviral activity of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid in the absence of cell-controlled RNA synthesis.
When Detroit cells are infected with poliovirus in the presence of 5/~g./ml. of actinomycin, cell-controlled RNA synthesis is blocked and 2-[14C]uridine is incorporated only into poliovirus-specific RNA. The addition of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (5/%/ml.) under such conditions results in the inhibition of synthesis of 35s intracellular, infectious poliovirus RNA. A high molecular weight f...
