We examined the enzyme activities associated with progeny subviral particles isolated from L-cells infected with reovirus at 12 h postinfection. Activities normally present in reovirus cores were also found to be present in the progeny subviral particles, with the exception of the capping enzymes. The methylase and guanyl transferase activities, which constitute the capping system, were present in a masked form that could be activated by chymotrypsin digestion. The appearance of these progeny subviral particles in infected cells coincided with the time when mRNA synthesis was maximal, suggesting that viral mRNA synthesized at later times is uncapped.
我们检测了感染呼肠孤病毒12小时后从L细胞中分离出的子代亚病毒颗粒相关的酶活性。除了加帽酶外,通常存在于呼肠孤病毒核心中的活性也存在于子代亚病毒颗粒中。构成加帽系统的甲基化酶和鸟苷酸转移酶活性以一种可被胰凝乳蛋白酶消化激活的隐蔽形式存在。这些子代亚病毒颗粒在感染细胞中的出现与mRNA合成达到最大值的时间一致,这表明在较晚时间合成的病毒mRNA是未加帽的。
