Summary

The polyribosomes of African green monkey kidney (GMK) cells have been characterized during productive and abortive infections with adenovirus type 2, simian papovavirus SV40, and the PARA (defective SV40)-adenovirus type 2 hybrid. An early increase in uptake of H3-uridine was followed by a progressive decrease in both the amount of polyribosomes and in uptake of the label in all three systems that involved an adenovirus. Thus, the polyribosome distribution patterns obtained from GMK cells abortively infected with adenovirus type 2 did not differ significantly in optical density profile or incorporation of H3-uridine from the distributions obtained from GMK cells productively infected with either adenovirus 2 and SV40 or PARA-adenovirus type 2.

A decrease in the amount of polyribosomes was not evident when GMK cells were infected with SV40. During the productive cycle of SV40 in GMK cells, the fifth (pentamer) polysome peak enlarged as the infection progressed. This increase was reflected both in increased optical density and incorporated H3-uridine. Material from this peak reacted with antibody to SV40 capsid antigen in the complement-fixation test. Arabinofurano-sylcytosine, a DNA inhibitor that blocks SV40 replication at a step prior to capsid formation, inhibited the formation of this peak. Treatment of the cellular extracts with EDTA or ribonuclease did not shift this peak to a lighter part of the gradient, along with the other polyribosomes. Virus particles, some of which proved to be infective for monkey cells, were present in electron micrographs of the pentamer peak.
