Poliovirus type I LSc strain labeled with (14)C-uridine was adsorbed onto isolated plasma membranes and incubated with them. When membranes from Hep-2 or Vero cells were used, 22% of the label was converted to a trichloroacetic acid-soluble form, when trypsin or ribonuclease was added, the fraction rendered soluble was increased, and when the two enzymes were added in sequence, 85% or more of the label became trichloroacetic acid-soluble. This labilization of poliovirus could be reproduced when butanol-solubilized proteins from membranes were substituted for the whole plasma membranes, but it did not occur with membranes from polio-virus-resistant calf kidney or BHK-21 cells.

Chick embryo fibroblast cultures infected with Sendai virus were incubated with (3)H-uridine in the presence of actinomycin D beginning at 18 hr after infection. The 35 and 18S virus-specific ribonucleic acid (RNA) components were found in a ribonuclease-sensitive form in the cell and appeared to be associated with polyribosomes. Newly synthesized 57S viral RNA was rapidly coated with protein to form intracellular viral nucleocapsid, and no 57S RNA was found "free" (ribonucleasesensitive) in the 2,000 x g supernatant fraction of disrupted cells. The nucleocapsid from detergent-disrupted Sendai virus and that from disrupted cells were indistinguishable in ultrastructure and buoyant density, and neither was found to be infectious or have hemagglutinating activity. Kinetic studies of nucleocapsid and virus formation indicated a relative block in conversion of viral nucleocapsid to complete enveloped virus in these cells, resulting in accumulation of large amounts of nucleocapsid in the cell cytoplasm.

A ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA polymerase was induced in chick embryo fibroblast cells after infection with Sendai virus (parainfluenza 1 virus). The enzyme was associated with the microsomal fraction of infected cells and reached maximum detectable activity at 18 hr after virus infection. The activity of the enzyme in vitro was dependent on the presence of added magnesium ions and all four nucleoside triphosphates and was not inhibited by actinomycin D. The RNA synthesized by the enzyme in vitro was sensitive to ribonuclease and consisted of a complex mixture of RNA species including 34S, 24S, and 18S components. Similar RNA components were detected in the microsomal fraction of Sendai virus-infected cells by labeling with (3)H-uridine from 17 to 18 hr postinfection in the presence of actinomycin D. Of the RNA synthesized by Sendai virus-induced RNA polymerase in vitro, 98% became insensitive to ribonuclease after annealing with RNA extracted from purified Sendai virus particles.

Ribonuclease-resistant ribonucleic acid (RNA) was isolated from uridine-labeled cultures of rabbit kidney, chicken embryo, and HeLa cells. This RNA, regardless of its source, was found to induce interference with virus growth in either rabbit kidney or chicken embryo cultures. Nuclease-treated cellular nucleic acids exhibited interference-inducing activity which eluted with a small fraction of RNA in the exclusion volume of a 6% agarose gel column. Besides resistance to ribonucleases, the interference inducer and RNA isolated from partially digested nucleic acids have in common two properties of double-stranded RNA: (i) similar sharp melting profiles were obtained for inducer and ribonuclease-resistant RNA, with T(m) dependent on NaCl concentration; (ii) ribonuclease-resistant inducer and RNA banded together in Cs(2)SO(4) density gradients at a density characteristic of known double-stranded RNA. After melting at low ionic strength, the labeled RNA shifted to a higher density and its capacity to inhibit virus replication was lost. Velocity sedimentation analysis of the cellular ribonuclease-resistant RNA indicated that the majority sedimented between 7 and 11S, but only RNA sedimenting at >==8 to 20S had a high specific activity of interference induction. Without prior ribonuclease treatment, the ribonuclease-resistant RNA can be precipitated with 2 m LiCl and thus appears to exist in purified cellular nucleic acids as part of molecular complexes with both single- and double-stranded regions of RNA. The biosynthesis of cellular double-stranded RNA is inhibited by actinomycin D.

Large plaque (4LP) and small plaque (4SP) variants were derived from a parent bovine virus strain by serial plaque passage. Both 4LP and 4SP were resistant to chloroform and stabilized at 50 degrees C for one hour by 1.0 M magnesium chloride. Both 4LP and 4SP had buoyant densities in cesium chloride of 1.36 gm/ml. Antigenically, 4LP and 4SP were reciprocally cross neutralizable. The nucleic acid of 4LP was shown to be ribonucleic acid (RNA) by resistance of its infectivity to deoxynuclease (DNase) but not ribonuclease (RNase) and by increased incorporation of [(3)H]-uridine into cytoplasmic RNA in cells of virus infected cultures. In growth characteristics, both 4LP and 4SP had maximum adsorption times of 75 to 90 minutes but 4LP had more rapid replication and release rates and yielded nearly twice as many infectious units per cell as 4SP. The differences in growth properties correlated directly with the differential in plaque diameter which was 40-50%.

Rapidly labeled RNA was extracted from monkey cells after infection with Simian Virus 40 (SV40) and exposure to short pulses of [5-(3)H]uridine late in infection. When this RNA was self-annealed, it became resistant to digestion with ribonuclease. The fraction of RNA that resisted the ribonuclease treatment decreased with increased labeling time, or when a short pulse of radioactivity was followed by incubation with unlabeled uridine and actinomycin D. The RNase-resistant RNA was isolated by chromatography on Sephadex G-100 and shown to be double-stranded by its susceptibility to ribonuclease as a function of salt concentration and temperature. This behavior was not due to RNA-DNA hybrid formation, since deoxyribonuclease had no effect upon the double-stranded molecules, even after their denaturation. The relation of the double-stranded RNA to SV40 was demonstrated by the hybridization of about 50% (corrected value, >90%) of the separated RNA strands with component I of SV40 DNA from plaque-purified virus. After self-annealing in formamide at low temperature, about 10% of the rapidly labeled, viral RNA sedimented at 13 S. This value corresponds in size to about 60% of the SV40 DNA.These observations indicate that late in infection of monkey cells, SV40 DNA is transcribed symmetrically over a considerable portion of its length, and that subsequently some sequences from one or both of the RNA strands are degraded.

A sensitive and quantitative nucleic acid hybridization assay for the detection of radioactively labeled avian tumor virus-specific RNA in infected chicken cells has been developed. In our experiments we made use of the fact that DNA synthesized by virions of avian myeloblastosis virus in the presence of actinomycin D (AMV DNA) is complementary to at least 35% of the sequences of 70S RNA from the Schmidt-Ruppin strain (SRV) of Rous sarcoma virus. Annealing of radioactive RNA (either SRV RNA or RNA extensively purified from SRV-infected chicken cells) with AMV DNA followed by ribonuclease digestion and Sephadex chromatography yielded products which were characterized as avian tumor virus-specific RNA-DNA hybrids by hybridization competition with unlabeled 70S AMV RNA, equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation in Cs(2)SO(4) gradients, and by analysis of their ribonucleotide composition. The amount of viral RNA synthesized during pulse labeling with (3)H-uridine could be quantitated by the addition of an internal standard consisting of (32)P-labeled SRV RNA prior to purification and hybridization. This quantitative assay was used to determine that, in SRV-infected chicken cells labeled for increasing lengths of time with (3)H-uridine, labeled viral RNA appeared first in a nuclear fraction, then in a cytoplasmic fraction, and still later in mature virions. This observation is consistent with the hypothesis that RNA tumor virus RNA is synthesized in the nucleus of infected cells.

Advantage was taken of the reversibility of the first step of ribonuclease-A action to synthesize the dinucleoside phosphorothioate Up(S)C from the crystalline isomer of uridine 2',3'-cyclic phosphorothioate [Up(S)] and cytidine. Cyclic phosphorothioate was then reformed from Up(S)C by a nonenzymic reaction known to proceed by an in-line mechanism. The geometry of the enzymic reaction was determined to be in-line by a comparison of the Up(S) product with the Up(S) originally used. By the principle of microscopic reversibility, the geometry of the first step in the action of ribonuclease-A is shown to be in-line.

After the incubation of reovirus replicase reaction mixtures (containing labeled ribonucleoside triphosphates), partially double-stranded ribonucleic acid (pdsRNA) products were isolated by cellulose column chromatography followed by precipitation with 2 m NaCl. The pulse-labeled reaction product contained a significantly large amount of pdsRNA that became complete dsRNA as reaction time increased, indicating that pdsRNA was an intermediate of the replicase reaction. The newly synthesized RNA strand ((3)H-labeled) of the pdsRNA was resistant to ribonuclease digestion, suggesting that single-stranded RNA regions were part of a preexistent unlabeled RNA template. These observations, together with the electrophoretic behavior of the pdsRNA in polyacrylamide gel, are consistent with the hypothesis that dsRNA is synthesized by the elongation of a complementary RNA strand upon a preexistent template of single-stranded RNA (i.e., messenger RNA). The direction of the RNA strand elongation was determined by carrying out the replicase reaction in the presence of (3)H-cytidine triphosphate (or (3)H-uridine triphosphate) and adenine triphosphate-alpha-(32)P followed by a chase with excess unlabeled cytidine triphosphate (or uridine triphosphate). The dsRNA product was digested with T1 ribonuclease and the resulting 3'-terminal fragments were isolated by chromatography on a dihydroxyboryl derivative of cellulose. Examination of the ratio of (3)H to (32)P in these fragments indicated that RNA synthesis proceeded from the 5' to 3' terminus.

Spermatozoa from the cauda of the epididymis of the hamster and rat were incubated with [5-(3)H]uridine and glucose. By using a procedure avoiding bacterial and other cellular contamination, sonic extracts were prepared and digested with deoxyribonuclease and Pronase. Radioactive RNA of high molecular weight was isolated by two methods: (a) gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 columns and (b) polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in which it migrated in the region of 28S and 23S RNA markers. The macromolecules were alkali-labile and hydrolysed by ribonuclease. From (3)H radioactivity and E(260) of the isolated RNA the rate of incorporation of uridine into RNA of spermatozoa was calculated to be 0.1-0.5nmol/h per mg of RNA.
