Inhibition of Rous sarcoma virus replication by antisense RNA.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous results have indicated that Rous sarcoma virus env gene expression is specifically inhibited by antisense RNA (L.-J. Chang and C. M. Stoltzfus, Mol. Cell. Biol. 5:2341-2348, 1985). In this study, we compare the extents of inhibition by antisense RNA derived from different parts of the Rous sarcoma virus genome, and we show that antisense constructs containing the 3'-end noncoding region inhibit env expression to a similar extent as those containing the 5'-end noncoding region or coding region. Furthermore, we show that antisense RNA inhibits virus replication at other levels in addition to translation.

Inhibition of Rous sarcoma virus replication and cell transformation by a specific oligodeoxynucleotide.
The tridecamer d(A-A-T-G-G-T-A-A-A-A-T-G-G), which is complementary to 13 nucleotides of the 3'- and 5'-reiterated terminal sequences of Rous sarcoma virus 35S RNA, was added to chick embryo fibroblast tissue cultures infected with Rous sarcoma virus. Inhibition of virus production resulted. The inference emerges that the tridecamer and its counterpart with blocked 3'- and 5'-hydroxyl termini e...

The effect of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) infection on the recovery of nucleolar RNA and protein synthesis from selective inhibition by actinomycin D was investigated using radioautographic technics. A transient increase in the grain count over nucleoli of actinomycin-treated cells, pulse-labeled with tritiated uridine, was observed in cells 10 to 18 hours after infection with Bryan strain RSV. Th...

From these results taking other reports ...
متن کاملVirion-associated RNA primer for Rous sarcoma virus DNA synthesis: isolation from uninfected cells.
Uninfected chicken, duck, rat, and human fibroblast cells in culture contained a tRNA-like RNA molecule which was structurally identical to a virion-associated RNA primer for in vitro Rous sarcoma virus DNA synthesis. This primer RNA appeared to be a normal tRNA of these cells. It was not found in a number of lower eukaryotic cells or in Escherichia coli.

Programmed -1 ribosomal frameshifting is widely used in the expression of RNA virus replicases and represents a potential target for antiviral intervention. There is interest in determining the extent to which frameshifting efficiency can be modulated before virus replication is compromised, and we have addressed this question using the alpharetrovirus Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) as a model system...
