Adenylate-rich sequences in vesicular stomatitis virus messenger ribonucleic acid.

Indirect evidence for the presence of Ribonucleic acid in vesicular stomatitis Virions

Nucleotide composition of the ribonucleic acid of rabies virus.

The nucleotide composition of the ribonucleic acid of three strains of rabies virus was determined and found to be similar to that of vesicular stomatitis virus.

Virus-induced interference in heterologously infected HeLa cells.

In doubly infected HeLa cells, poliovirus type 1 rapidly and completely dominates vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) plaque-forming unit production. Poliovirus type 1 shuts off incorporation of amino acids into VSV-specific proteins within 2 hr after superinfection of cells already committed to massive synthesis of VSV proteins. However, poliovirus type 1 appears to have little, if any, direct ef...

Ribonucleic acid polymerase in virions of Newcastle disease virus: comparison with the vesicular stomatitis virus polymerase.

The virions of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) contained an enzyme that catalyzed the incorporation of ribonucleotides into ribonucleic acid (RNA). Optimal conditions for this polymerase activity were identical to the conditions for the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) polymerase, and both enzymes were active for longer times at 32 C than at 37 C. However, the specific activity of the NDV polymer...

Ribonucleic acid synthesis of vesicular stomatitis virus, II. An RNA polymerase in the virion.

The virions of vesicular stomatitis virus contain an enzyme that catalyzes the incorporation of ribonucleotides into RNA. The product of the reaction is mainly RNA complementary in base sequence to that of vesicular stomatitis virus RNA.
