Transcription and translation of Newcastle disease virus mRNA's in vitro.

Abstract

Transcription directed in vitro by Triton-activated Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was stimulated and prolonged by the presence of cytoplasmic extracts of animal cells. The RNA products closely resembled those of NDV transcription in vivo by several criteria: binding to oligodeoxythymidylic acid-cellulose, the mobility and relative abundance of each major band resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the ability to direct the accurate cell-free synthesis of polypeptides corresponding to the NDV proteins HN, F0/F1, NP, and M. Synthesis of a novel polypeptide related to NP but of higher apparent molecular weight was also detected. These results indicated that cell-free transcription under these conditions was a close facsimile of NDV transcription in vivo. In addition, both in vitro and in vivo, NDV polypeptides were synthesized in nonequimolar amounts which reflected the order of the genes in the transcriptional map: NP, F0, M, (47K, HN), L. Strains AV and HP, virulent strains which have differences in biological activities, exhibited differences in the polypeptides synthesized in infected cells and in cell-free systems.
