Abstract

A cell extract derived from human parainfluenza virus type 3-infected human lung carcinoma (HLC) cells synthesized mRNA in vitro. Under optimal conditions, the extract was able to support transcription of all virus-encoded genes as determined by hybridization analyses. The RNA products contained full-length poly(A)-containing mRNA species similar to those observed in acutely infected cells. Further purification of the viral nucleocapsids from the infected HLC cell extract resulted in total loss of the capacity of the extract to synthesize mRNA in vitro. However, the addition of cytoplasmic extracts from uninfected HLC cells to the nucleocapsid preparations restored transcription to levels observed in the infected cell lysates, indicating requirement of a host factor(s) in the human parainfluenza virus type 3 transcription process. In distinction to the abundant transcription observed in the cell extract from HLC cells, cell extract prepared from CV-1 cells failed to support transcription in vitro. High levels of RNase activity in the cell extract from CV-1 cells appears to be the principal reason for this difference.
