Herpesvirus infection alters the steady-state levels of cellular polyadenylated RNA in polyoma virus-transformed BHK cells.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Polyoma-transformed BHK cells are permissive for the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1. The effect of herpes infection on the steady-state levels of bulk mRNA sequences in these cells was studied by using cDNA to polyadenylated cytoplasmic RNA from uninfected cells. The principal findings were: (i) herpes simplex virus type 1 infection caused a pronounced reduction in the cytoplasmic levels of moderately abundant mRNAs' (ii) after infection, increased amounts of RNA complementary to the cDNA were isolated as part of the nonadenylated cytoplasmic RNA fraction.
