Vaccinia virus with the E3L gene deleted was able to replicate in RK-13 but not HeLa cells. This host range phenotype could be complemented by an E3L gene expressed transiently from a plasmid. Analysis of mutants of E3L indicates that the ability to complement deletion of E3L correlates with the ability of mutated proteins to bind double-stranded RNA but not with their ability to migrate to the nucleus.
缺失E3L基因的痘苗病毒能够在RK - 13细胞中复制,但不能在HeLa细胞中复制。这种宿主范围表型可以通过从质粒瞬时表达的E3L基因来互补。对E3L突变体的分析表明,互补E3L缺失的能力与突变蛋白结合双链RNA的能力相关,而与其迁移到细胞核的能力无关。
