Abstract
The effect of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection of mRNA metabolism was examined in a system where the fate of specific RNA sequence can be assayed. Adenovirus type 5-transformed rat embryo cell line 107 synthesizes adenovirus-specific RNA (ad-RNA), which functions in the cytoplasm as mRNA. We have utilized ad-RNA as a model for mRNA metabolism, and in a preliminiary study we characterized ad-RNA in the nucleus and cytoplasm by hybridization to filter-bound adenovirus DNA. The results indicated the as-RNA accumulates in the nucleus and that cytoplasmic polyadenylic acid [poly(A)]-containing ad-RNA turns over with a half-life of a few hours. Pulse-chase experiments confirmed these observations and a half-life of about h was determined for the poly(A)-containing cytoplasmic ad-RNA. A second class of ad-RNA remains in the nucleus, where it turns over with a longer hlaf-life (about 24 h). The infection of 107 cells by HSV was restricted at 37 degree C, giving a burst size of 5 PFU per cell and allowing continued host DNA synthesis. Protein synthesis was inhibited greater than 50% by 7 h after infection, and total RNA synthesis was 50% inhibited by 4 h after infection. During the first 8 h after infection, HSV has little effect on the rate of synthesis of ad-RNA as determined by hybridization of nuclear RNA samples, but,during the same period, HSV inhibits the accumulation of poly(A)-containing ad-RNA in the cytoplasm. The degree of this inhibition increases steadily throughout this period and reaches 60% by 6.5 to 8 h after infection. Nosignificant effect was seen on the accumulation of total cellular poly(A)-containing RNA. It was concluded from these experiments that HSV infection alters the metabolism of ad-RNA so as to prevent the normal appearance of the poly(A)-containing mRNA in the cytoplasm. The result for ad-RNA may not represent the behavior of total cellular poly(A)-containing RNA under conditions where infection is restricted.
