The activities, the temperature and pH optima of in vitro functioning and stability upon heating of virion transcriptase of 10 human influenza virus A strains differing in reactogenicity and isolated in different epidemiological situations, and of fowl plague virus (FVP) were compared. As compared with virion transcriptase of human influenza virus strains studied, that of FPV had a higher pH optimum, was capable of functioning in vitro at a higher temperature and was more stable on heating. Freshly isolated and vaccine influenza virus strains on the one hand and strains isolated at the peak and in the end of an epidemic did not differ in the virion transcriptase properties. The virion transcriptase of a strain isolated from a local influenza outbreak was much less active than transcriptase of a highly epiedmic strain.

Recombinants of human influenza type A viruses, A/Krasnodar/101/1959 (H2N2) or A/Habarovsk/15/1976 (H3N2), and fowl plague virus (FPV), strain Weybridge (Hav1Neq1) were obtained. The genome of the recombinant obtained by recombination of influenza A/Habarovsk/15/1976 virus and FPV contained the genes 4 (HA) and 6 (NA) derived from the influenza A/Habarovsk virus and all the other genes [1, 2, 3, 5 (NP), 7 (M), 8 (NS)] from FPV. The genome of the recombinant of A/Krasnodar/101/1959 virus and FPV contained the genes 2, 4 (HA) and 6 (NA) derived from influenza A/Krasnodar virus and all the other genes [1, 3, 5, (NP), 7 (M), 8 (NS)] from FPV. The recombinants, like FPV, gave high virus yields in chick embryos and could multiply at high temperatures (40 and 42 degrees C), but, like human influenza viruses, were non-pathogenic for chickens and did not replicate in chick embryo fibroblast culture, but did replicate in a human conjunctiva cell line, clone 1-5C-4. The virion transcriptase of the recombinants, in a number of properties determined in vitro, was similar to FPV transcriptase but not to the human influenza virus enzyme.

A cell-free coupled system for the transcription and translation of fowl plague virus RNA is described. The system utilizes a new nuclease-preincubated rabbit reticulocyte lysate that has a high sensitivity to exogenous mRNA and a very low level of nuclease activity. Translation of the viral proteins in the coupled system is strictly dependent upon the viral transcriptase activity. In the coupled system the optimal concentration of magnesium is intermediate between the optimum for transcription and that for translation. Translation of the viral proteins seems faithful. The products represent the major viral peptides M and NP and two peptides with the same electrophoretic mobility as HA and P2. Viron NA is not resolved in the kind of polyacrylamide gels described. Proteins M and NP were immunoprecipitable with monospecific antisera. It is concluded that the virion-associated RNA polymerase transcribes the negative-stranded segments of the viral genome coding for these major structural proteins into fully functional mRNA's.

Temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of fowl plague virus with a ts-lesion in segment 1 (ts 3, polymerase 1 gene) or segment 2 (ts 90, transport gene) do not form plaques on MDCK cells at the permissive temperature, while the wild type and ts-mutants of other groups are able to do so. This property is correlated with the ts-lesion, since revertants for the ts-lesion of ts 3 and ts 90 again form plaques on MDCK cells. The block on MDCK cells--at least for ts3--may be located in a late function, since viral RNA polymerase and hemagglutinin are formed in almost normal yields. MDCK cells infected with ts 3 or ts 90 exhibit a retarded cytopathic effect at 33 degrees C, but no cytopathic effect at 39 degrees C, at which temperature the infected cells can be passaged and super-infected with the wild type strain. Cells surviving the infection with ts 90 at 33 degrees C sometimes grow out again to a normal monolayer. It is suggested that the spread of virus is inhibited under these conditions.

All rimantadine-resistant variants of influenza virus prepared by consecutive passages in the presence of rimantadine had increased virion transcriptase activity as compared to the original strains. The increased virion transcriptase activity of rimantadine-resistant strains was unrelated to the possible role of M1 protein, since RNPs isolated from the virions of these variants also revealed higher transcriptase activity as compared to RNPs isolated from rimantadine-sensitive virus. The study of rimantadine-resistant recombinant X-4 which inherited from the resistant fowl plague virus (FPV) only the gene 7 coding for M proteins provided additional evidence for the suggestion that the increased virion transcriptase activity of rimantadine-resistant influenza virus variants is coincidental rather than directly associated with such resistance.

The ability of the fowl plague virus (FPV) M protein to form a complex with FPV RNP and to inhibit the RNP transcriptase activity in vitro depended on NaCl concentration and did not depend on the concentration of nonionic detergents. The results obtained indicate that the M protein-RNP links formed were of an electrostatic rather than a hydrophobic nature. As demonstrated using individual RNP components, vRNA and RNA-free protein structures, M protein formed complexes only with vRNA, and the complex formation was salt-dependent. Analysis of products formed in the in vitro system containing RNP of FPV in the presence of the M protein showed impairment in the transcription of all RNA segments. The degree of inhibition correlated with the size of a segment, transcription of high molecular weight RNA segments being inhibited significantly more than that of low molecular weight RNA segments.

Nuclei purified from chicken embryo fibroblast cells infected with influenza (fowl plague) virus contain an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The in vitro activity of this enzyme is insensitive to actinomycin D, and is completely destroyed by preincubation with ribonuclease. Enzyme induction is prevented if cells are treated with actinomycin D or cycloheximide at the time of infection. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity increases rapidly in cell nuclei from 1 h postinfection, reaches a maximum at 3 to 4 h, then declines; a similar RNA polymerase activity in the microsomal cell fraction increases from 2 h postinfection and reaches a maximum at 5 to 6 h. The characteristics of the nuclear and microsomal enzymes in vitro are similar with respect to pH and divalent cation requirements. The in vitro products of enzyme activity present in the nuclear and microsomal fractions of cells infected for 3 and 5 h were characterized by sucrose density gradient analysis, and annealing to virion RNA. The microsomal RNA polymerase product contained 67 and 93% RNA complementary to virion RNA at 3 and 5 h, respectively; for the nuclear RNA polymerase product these values were 40% in each case.

Increases in ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase activity were detected in both the nuclear and ribosomal fractions of chick embryo cells infected with fowl-plague virus. These were observed only in the presence of all four nucleoside triphosphates and were not affected by actinomycin D. The RNA polymerase activity of the ribosomal fraction was shown to be associated with a component of infected cells of sedimentation coefficient approximately 70S. This component also contained infected cell-specific RNA and protein molecules.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase activity was assayed on nuclear preparations of chick embryo fibroblast cells at various times after infection with an influenza A virus (fowl plague virus) and was compared with the activity of uninfected cells. Polymerase activity was increased by about 60% by 2 hr after infection, and this increase coincided with an increase in RNA synthesis in infected cells, as determined by pulse-labeling with uridine. No difference could be detected between the polymerases of infected and uninfected cells as to their requirements for DNA primer, divalent cations, and nucleoside triphosphates, and they were equally sensitive to addition of actinomycin D to the reaction mixture. It is possible that host cell DNA-dependent RNA polymerase is involved in the replication of influenza virus RNA.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis of chick embryo fibroblasts was inhibited by two members of the myxovirus group, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and fowl plague virus. It was also found that cellular deoxyribonucleic acid-dependent RNA polymerase was inhibited by a cytoplasmic factor induced by NDV infection.
