We obtained DNA sequences coding for the nucleoprotein (NP) of an influenza A virus by reverse transcription of virion RNA with synthetic oligonucleotide primers. Terminal sequence analysis showed that the cloned gene contained a full-length copy of the virion RNA segment. The NP-specific DNA was inserted into the late region of a simian virus 40 vector, and the DNA recombinant was propagated in the presence of an early simian virus 40 temperature-sensitive mutant helper. Infection of African green monkey kidney cells with the recombinant produced a polypeptide immunoprecipitable with NP-specific antisera. The polypeptide product had a molecular weight of 56,000, identical to that of the nucleoprotein of influenza virus as estimated on polyacrylamide gels. The putative NP was detected in the nucleus of infected primate cells by an immunofluorescence assay. This nuclear localization of NP from recombinant DNA was similar to that seen during influenza virus infection.
我们使用合成寡核苷酸引物对病毒粒子RNA进行逆转录,从而获得了编码甲型流感病毒核蛋白(NP)的DNA序列。末端序列分析表明,克隆基因包含病毒粒子RNA片段的全长拷贝。将NP特异性DNA插入猿猴病毒40载体的晚期区域,并在早期猿猴病毒40温度敏感突变体辅助病毒存在的情况下繁殖DNA重组体。用该重组体感染非洲绿猴肾细胞,产生了一种可被NP特异性抗血清免疫沉淀的多肽。该多肽产物的分子量为56,000,与在聚丙烯酰胺凝胶上估计的流感病毒核蛋白分子量相同。通过免疫荧光测定法在受感染的灵长类细胞的细胞核中检测到推定的NP。来自重组DNA的NP的这种核定位与流感病毒感染期间观察到的情况相似。
