Mutations in the 2C region of poliovirus responsible for altered sensitivity to benzimidazole derivatives.
MRL-1237, [1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-imino-1,4-dihydropyridin-1-yl) methylbenzimidazole hydrochloride], is a potent and selective inhibitor of the replication of enteroviruses. To reveal the target molecule of MRL-1237 in viral replication, we selected spontaneous MRL-1237-resistant poliovirus mutants. Of 15 MRL-1237-resistant mutants obtained, 14 were cross-resistant to guanidine hydrochloride (...

Johnson, Terry C. (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis), and Leroy C. McLaren. Plaque development and induction of interferon synthesis by RMC poliovirus. J. Bacteriol. 90:565-570. 1965.-Plaque development by RMC poliovirus on human amnion cell monolayers was investigated with regard to autointerference and to the effect of acid-agar overlay on plaquing efficiency. The virus was inhibited by a...
متن کاملPurification and partial characterization of another form of the antiviral protein from the seeds of Phytolacca americana L. (pokeweed).
1. The pokeweed antiviral protein, previously identified in two forms (PAP and PAP II) in the leaves of Phytolacca americana (pokeweed) [Obrig. Irvin & Hardesty (1973) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 155, 278-289; Irvin, Kelly & Robertus (1980) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 200, 418-425] is a protein that prevents replication of several viruses and inactivates ribosomes, thus inhibiting protein synthesis. 2....
متن کاملDipyridamole reversibly inhibits mengovirus RNA replication.
Dipyridamole is an effective inhibitor of cardiovirus growth in cell culture. The effects of dipyridamole on mengovirus replication in vivo and in vitro were examined in the hope the drug could be used as an experimental analog of the poliovirus inhibitor guanidine. Guanidine selectively inhibits poliovirus RNA synthesis but not RNA translation, and as such, has been a valuable research tool. A...
متن کاملEarly functions of poliovirus. 3. The effect of guanidine on early functions.
Guanidine does not inhibit the translation of viral RNA into virus specific proteins but it seems to prevent the generation of functional viral polymerase from precursor material. In the presence of guanidine, "inhibitory protein (s) " responsible for the shut-off of cellular protein synthesis are still produced provided that the multiplicities of infection are high. The incoming (parental) vir...
