Abstract

Lytic infection with polyoma virus leads in Go-arrested primary mouse kidney cell cultures to a mitotic host response. In the present work we focused our attention on cellular RNA synthesis shortly after onset of polyoma T-antigen synthesis. Onset of polyoma-induced stimulation of 45S pre-rRNA synthesis was determined by hybridization of total cellular RNA with a plasmid (pMrSalB) containing the 5'-end of the mouse ribosomal gene and of the other cellular RNA species by standard biochemical analysis of cellular fractions. The results showed that polyoma-induced stimulation of cellular hnRNA (hnRNP) synthesis, the earliest presently known host cell reaction, preceded onset of stimulated 45S pre-rRNA synthesis and that the latter was paralleled by polyoma-induced stimulation of 5S RNA, tRNA and overall protein synthesis. The polyoma-induced mitotic response is similar to that triggered by simian virus 40 and by certain nonviral mitogens.
