Influenza-C-virion-associated RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase activity.

چکیده
The addition of detergent-solubilized influenza C virus to a reaction mixture containing ATP, CTP, GTP, [3H]UTP, and Mg2+ leads to the synthesis of an acid-insoluble, radioactive product, which is ribonuclease-sensitive. The dinucleoside monophosphate ApG clearly enhances the reaction rate, a fact which indicates that influenza C viruses follow the same strategy of transcription as influenza A and B viruses, the other members of the orthomyxovirus family.

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in influenza virions.
An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity has been detected in purified preparations of influenza virus. In contrast to the replicase activity induced in influenza-infected cells, the virion-associated enzyme has an absolute requirement for Mn(++). Most of the RNA synthesized in vitro is complementary to virion RNA.
متن کاملAnalysis of the in vitro product of an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase isolated from influenza virus-infected cells.
The products synthesized in vitro by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase isolated from influenza virus-infected BHK21-F cells were analyzed by velocity sedimentation, annealing techniques, and acrylamide-agarose gel electrophoresis. Approximately 50% of the RNA synthesized in vitro remains associated with the 50 to 70S ribonucleoprotein complex containing polymerase activity; the remainder of the R...
متن کاملTranscriptase activity and genome composition of defective influenza virus.
Eight genome RNA segments are present in both normal and von Magnustype influenza virus preparations and all species are transcribed by the virion-associated polymerase. Although the RNA polymerase activity and the amount of the three largest RNA segments are reduced in defective influenza virus preparations, these reductions do not appear to be great enough to account for the much greater loss...
متن کاملRNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity associated with virions and subviral particles of myxoviruses.
In vitro RNA synthesis is catalyzed by an enzyme found in purified virions of each of nine influenza strains tested. The extent of [(3)H]UTP incorporation observed is strain dependent, with an obligate requirement for Mn(2+) ions and RNA template. At least 30% of purified product RNA shows resistance to degradation by ribonuclease A and T1 before and after annealing with exogenous RNA from infl...
متن کاملInfluenza virion RNA-dependent RNA polymerase: stimulation by guanosine and related compounds.
The activity of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of several influenza viruses is stimulated by guanosine. Depending upon the virus strain used, the stimulation of initial reaction rate is up to 10-fold. 5'-GMP, 3',5'-cyclic GMP, and 5'-GDP show lesser stimulation effects. No other nucleosides of 5'-NMPs stimulate, but the dinucleoside monophosphates GpG and GpC show large stimulations. We present e...
