In vitro replication of Sendai virus wild-type and defective interfering particle genome RNAs.

چکیده
A system for studying the in vitro replication of the genome RNAs of Sendai virus and its defective interfering particle DI-H has been developed. Cytoplasmic extracts of baby hamster kidney cells infected with wild-type Sendai virus or coinfected with wild-type Sendai virus plus DI-H were prepared after lysolecithin treatment at 12 h postinfection. The extracts supported the transcription of six viral mRNAs as well as the replication of the Sendai virus 50S (wild-type) and 14S DI-H genome RNAs and their encapsidation into nucleocapsids in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. RNA replication in vitro represented more than 50% of total RNA synthesis, a relative level higher than that found in the infected cell. The proteins required for Sendai virus RNA replication were present in a soluble protein pool at the time of extract preparation. Depletion of the protein pool by prior treatment of infected cells with cycloheximide inhibited subsequent in vitro genome replication without affecting transcription. The cytoplasmic extract may be separated by high-speed centrifugation into two components: the Sendai virus wild-type and DI-H nucleocapsid templates containing the RNA and associated NP, L, and P proteins and the soluble protein fraction containing primarily the P, NP, and M viral proteins with trace amounts of the L, HN, Fo, and nonstructural C proteins. The isolated intracellular DI-H nucleocapsid template alone cannot replicate its RNA, but when recombined with the Sendai virus soluble protein fraction it catalyzes the replication and encapsidation of viral RNAs. The initiation of RNA replication in vitro can be demonstrated because detergent-disrupted purified DI-H virions replicate both positive- and negative-strand RNAs in the presence, but not in the absence, of the soluble protein fraction from an extract of infected cells.

Encapsidation of Sendai virus genome RNAs by purified NP protein during in vitro replication.
The ability of the Sendai virus major nucleocapsid protein, NP, to support the in vitro synthesis and encapsidation of viral genome RNA during Sendai virus RNA replication was studied. NP protein was purified from viral nucleocapsids isolated from Sendai virus-infected BHK cells and shown to be a soluble monomer under the reaction conditions used for RNA synthesis. The purified NP protein alone...

Initiation and replication of vesicular stomatitis virus genome RNA in a cell-free system.
A system for studying the in vitro replication of the RNA genomes of both wild-type vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and its defective interfering particle MS-T has been developed. After lysolecithin treatment of cells infected with VSV or VSV plus MS-T, a cell-free cytoplasmic extract is prepared which will support VSV mRNA synthesis and the synthesis of the 42S wild-type or 19S MS-T genome RN...
متن کاملIn vitro assembly of a functional nucleocapsid from the negative-stranded genome RNA of a defective interfering particle of vesicular stomatitis virus.
The template for transcription and replication of negative-stranded RNA viruses is a ribonucleoprotein structure, the nucleocapsid. We have developed a system that supports assembly of the negative-stranded RNA genome of a defective interfering (DI) particle of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) into a nucleocapsid in vitro. This system uses extracts from wild-type VSV-infected cells as a source ...
متن کاملCis-preferential replication of the turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA genome.
The largest open reading frame of the turnip yellow mosaic virus RNA genome encodes a 206-kDa protein that is cleaved to yield N-terminal 150-kDa (p150) and C-terminal 70-kDa (p70) proteins. Using a genomic cDNA clone capable of generating infectious transcripts in vitro, we have introduced substitution, frameshift, and in-frame deletion mutations into the regions encoding both proteins. None o...
