Aphidicolin is a potent inhibitor of both host cell DNA polymerase alpha and herpes simplex virus (HSV)-induced DNA polymerase but has no effect on DNA polymerases beta and gamma of host cells. By using an aphidicolin-resistant mutant (Aphr) of HSV, a possible involvement of DNA polymerase alpha in host cell reactivation of UV-damaged HSV was studied. Plaque formation by UV-irradiated Aphr was markedly inhibited by 1 microgram of aphidicolin per ml, which did not affect the plating efficiency of nonirradiated Aphr. Aphidicolin added before 12 h postinfection inhibited plaque formation by irradiated Aphr, which became aphidicolin insensitive after 36 h postinfection. The results strongly suggest that host cell DNA polymerase alpha is involved in the repair of UV-irradiated HSV DNA.
阿非科林是宿主细胞DNA聚合酶α和单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)诱导的DNA聚合酶的有效抑制剂,但对宿主细胞的DNA聚合酶β和γ没有影响。通过使用HSV的阿非科林抗性突变体(Aphr),研究了DNA聚合酶α在紫外线损伤的HSV的宿主细胞重新激活中的可能作用。每毫升1微克的阿非科林显著抑制了紫外线照射的Aphr形成噬菌斑,这并不影响未照射的Aphr的铺板效率。感染后12小时前添加阿非科林可抑制照射后的Aphr形成噬菌斑,而感染后36小时后其对阿非科林变得不敏感。结果强烈表明宿主细胞DNA聚合酶α参与了紫外线照射的HSV DNA的修复。
