RESUMO
Lust, George (Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.). Alterations of protein synthesis in arbovirus-infected L cells. J. Bacteriol. 91:1612–1617. 1966.—Cellular protein synthesis and ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis in mouse L cells were markedly depressed 1 hr after infection with Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus. Host RNA and protein synthesis were inhibited more rapidly by the virus infection than by actinomycin D. In cells infected 4 hr, a cytoplasmic RNA polymerase was demonstrated which was absent in uninfected cells. At this time, deoxyribonucleic acid-directed RNA synthesis catalyzed by the nuclear RNA polymerase was inhibited in vitro in enzyme preparations from nuclei of virus-infected cells. For optimal activity, the cytoplasmic RNA polymerase required the four nucleoside triphosphates, Mg++, and RNA. The enzyme was insensitive to actinomycin D and deoxyribonuclease, indicating that it catalyzed RNA-directed RNA synthesis. Attempts to purify the induced polymerase further were unsuccessful. Fresh preparations had to be used because the enzymatic activity was unstable.
