The Reversible Inactivation of Tobacco Mosaic Virus by Crystalline Ribonuclease
نویسنده
چکیده
The reversible inactivation of tobacco mosaic virus by crystalline ribonuclease is reported. Studies on the effect of time of standing on the amount of inactivation, and on the effect of dilution and repeated high speed centrifugation on the recovery of virus activity, and the preparation of an insoluble virus-enzyme complex show that the inactivation is brought about at least in part by a combination between virus and enzyme. The significance of the fact that ribonuclease has no detectable effect on the virus nucleic acid when the latter is in combination with protein in the form of virus is discussed with respect to the structure of the virus.

Magnetic-field-induced Alignment and Instabilities in Ordered Colloids of Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Magnetic fields have been used to produce well aligned nematic liquid crystalline and colloidal crystalline samples of nearly monodisperse tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Hydrodynamic instabilities induced by reorientation in a magnetic field have been studied in the well aligned nematic liquid crystalline samples.
متن کاملSequence of 71 nucleotides at the 3'-end of tobacco mosaic virus RNA.
The sequence of the first 71 nucleotides from the 3'-OH end of tobacco mosaic virus RNA has been determined. After total T1 ribonuclease digestion of the viral RNA, the oligonucleotide C-C-C-A-OH, which originates from the 3'-OH terminus of the RNA, may be readily detected by electrophoresis at pH 2.5 or pH 3.0; it is the only oligonucleotide that migrates toward the cathode at these pHs. This ...
متن کاملStudies on the preferential specificity of pancreatic ribonuclease as deduced from partial digests.
A two-dimensional “mapping” procedure (1) with paper electrophoresis and paper chromatography permits the separation and identification of the mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranucleotides obtained by digestion of tobacco mosaic virus ribonucleic acid with pancreatic ribonuclease (2). This procedure has also been used for the analysis of micrococcal nuclease digests of deoxyribonucleic acid (3) by the...
متن کاملLocation of unique sequences in tobacco mosaic virus ribonucleic acid.
Tobacco mosaic virus has been partially stripped of its protein coat by sodium dodecyl sulfate. The nucleic acid exposed was digested with T1 ribonuclease and the products were examined for the presence of three oligonucleotides of unique sequence. The results indicate the location of two of the unique oligomers to be near the 5’-OH-linked end and the third to be near the middle of tobacco mosa...
متن کاملThe Ultraviolet Light and Photosensitized Inactivation of Tobacco Mosaic Virus
The quantum yield for the inactivation of tobacco mosaic virus has been determined at 253.7 mmicro and found to be 4.3 x 10(-6). The possible significance of the observed one-hit process of inactivation has been discussed in terms of the kinetics and the rupture of model substances including nucleic acid. The ultraviolet light inactivation, which proceeds independent of oxygen, occurs without c...
