Inhibition of oncornavirus functions by poly (2-methylthioinosinic acid).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poly (2-methylthioinosinic acid) [poly(ms2I)] was found to markedly inhibit the RNA directed DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) activity of murine (Moloney, Rauscher) leukemia virus and murine (Moloney) sarcoma virus, while under the same conditions the unsubstituted parent compound poly(I) showed little, if any, inhibitory effect. Copolymers of inosinic acid (I) and 2-methylthioinosinic acid2(ms2I) showed an intermediary effect, depending on the I:ms2I ratio. Poly(ms2I) also inhibited the transformation of normal cells by murine (Moloney) sarcoma virus, as assessed by an infectious center assay.

متن کاملProperties of intracytoplasmic A particles isolated from oncornavirus-producing human cells.
A particles with the diameter of 70 to 80 nm were isolated from the cytoplasm of HEp-2, HeLa, and AO cells producing oncornavirus of Mason-Pfizer-like type. Most of the A particles banded at 1.23 to 1.24 g/ml, whereas 3 to 10% banded at 1.29 g/ml in equilibrium sucrose gradients. They banded at 1.30 g/ml in CsCl gradients suggesting that they contained 8% RNA. Individual A particles sedimented ...
