Replication of double-stranded RNA in particles of Penicillium stoloniferum virus S.

PMCID: PMC343554  PMID: 1187348

Abstract

RNA polymerase activity was assayed in different particle classes of Penicillium stoloniferum virus S. RNA polymerase activity was found to be associated with H particles, which contain double-stranded RNA and single-stranded RNA, but not with L particles, which contain only double-stranded RNA and not with M particles, which contain only single-stranded RNA. In H particles the reaction occurred with the formation of one new molecule of double-stranded RNA (or two complementary single strands of RNA) per virus particle and the production of product particles (P particles), which contained two molecules of double-stranded RNA (or its equivalent). This RNA polymerase is therefore a replicase, which catalyses the synthesis of the two complementary strands of double-stranded RNA in a single virus particle. This is the first report of this type of RNA polymerase system.
