It has previously been shown that the RNA replicase of encephalomyocarditis virus contains two virus-coded proteins, D and E, which are produced in two successive proteolytic steps: (i) C leads to D + ?; and (ii) D leads to p22 + E. It is here shown (i) that virus protein H (molecular weight, 12,000) is the previously unidentified product of the first step and (ii) that VPg, a protein linked covalently to the virion RNA, yields two tryptic peptides found in protein C but not in protein D. The results suggest that VPg is derived by cleavage of protein C and that protein H may be intermediate. Preliminary experiments with VPg sequences in polioviral noncapsid protein 1b, the counterpart of encephalomyocarditis viral protein C, were inconclusive.
先前的研究表明,脑心肌炎病毒的RNA复制酶包含两种病毒编码蛋白,D和E,它们通过两个连续的蛋白水解步骤产生:(i)C产生D +?; (ii)D产生p22 + E。本文表明:(i)病毒蛋白H(分子量12,000)是第一步中先前未鉴定的产物; (ii)与病毒体RNA共价连接的蛋白VPg产生了在蛋白C中发现但在蛋白D中未发现的两种胰蛋白酶肽。结果表明,VPg是由蛋白C裂解产生的,蛋白H可能是中间产物。对脊髓灰质炎病毒非衣壳蛋白1b(脑心肌炎病毒蛋白C的对应物)中的VPg序列进行的初步实验尚无定论。
