Translation of specific vaccinia virus RNAs purified as RNA-DNA hybrids on potassium iodide gradients.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A procedure has been developed for purifying specific mRNAs by hybridization to fragments of DNA and isolation of the hybrids by potassium iodide equilibrium buoyant density centrifugation. The hybrids obtained are essentially free of unhybridized RNA as well as double-stranded RNA. Moreover, the RNA in the hybrids is undamaged and can be translated in vitro. Application of this procedure to mapping vaccinia virus genes is described. A total of 34 polypeptides have been assigned to three regions of the viral genome.

Sequence complexity and relative abundance of vaccinia virus mRNA's synthesized in vivo and in vitro.
The sequence complexity and relative abundance of vaccinia virus mRNA's, synthesized in vivo and in vitro, have been measured by DNA-RNA hybridization. Up to 42% of [3H]thymidine-labeled virus DNA can be protected from digestion with nuclease S1, a single-strand specific nuclease, after annealing to excess polyadenylylated mRNA obtained at 7 h after infection. In contrast, only 26% of vaccinia ...
متن کاملMapping of the vaccinia virus DNA polymerase gene by marker rescue and cell-free translation of selected RNA.
The previous demonstration that a phosphonoacetate (PAA)-resistant (PAAr) vaccinia virus mutant synthesized an altered DNA polymerase provided the key to mapping this gene. Marker rescue was performed in cells infected with wild-type PAA-sensitive (PAAs) vaccinia by transfecting with calcium phosphate-precipitated DNA from a PAAr mutant virus. Formation of PAAr recombinants was measured by plaq...

Vaccinia virus mRNAs synthesized in vitro and in vivo, polyadenylated leader sequences synthesized in vitro in the absence of added GTP, CTP, or UTP or in the presence of 20 micrograms of actinomycin D per ml, and high-molecular-weight RNA synthesized in vitro under limiting ATP concentrations were labeled specifically in the cap structure using [alpha-32P]GTP and vaccinia-soluble enzyme extrac...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of viral gene expression as the mechanism of the antiviral action of PGA1 in vaccinia virus-infected cells.
We have previously shown that prostaglandins of the A series are potent inhibitors of the replication of several animal viruses in cultured cells. In this report we have studied the mechanism of the antiviral action of PGA1 in vaccinia virus-infected mouse L cells, where there is an alteration in both the rate and extent of the synthesis of some virus proteins. When cytoplasmic RNAs from PGA-tr...
متن کاملCharacteristics of reactions catalyzed by purified guanylyltransferase from vaccinia virus.
GTP:RNA guanylyltransferase catalyzes the initial reaction in the formation of “caps” at 5’ termini of mRNAs. The characteristics of the guanylation reaction have been studied using purified enzyme isolated from vaccinia virus. Guanylation requires a divalent cation (Mg2’), is stimulated by monovalent cations (Na+ and K+), and is unaffected by S-adenosylmethionine. The enzyme utilizes GTP as gu...
