    Notes: Summary Infection ofDrosophila cells with Cricket paralysis virus in the presence of Actinomycin D results in virtual complete inhibition of host cell protein synthesis by four hours post-infection. Using35S-methionine or14C-amino acids to pulse infected cells three major classes of viral induced proteins can be detected, (A) high molecular weight precursor proteins, (B) viral structural proteins and (C) low molecular weight cleavage products. The large number of high molecular weight proteins found in the infected cells suggests that a multiple cleavage cascade mechanism is partially utilized to produce virus structural proteins. In infected cells, even with short pulses, the largest viral induced protein obtained has a molecular weight of 144,000. However with pretreatment of the infected cells with iodoacetamide before pulsing, two further proteins are obtained with molecular weights of 205,000 and 190,000. Other changes occur in viral protein precursors in the presence of iodoacetamide.

    Notes: Summary Black beetle virus is a small RNA virus with a single capsid protein of molecular weight ⋍ 40,000. Two intracellular proteins, a presumed polymerase (molecular weight 110,000) and a protein having a molecular weight slightly greater than the capsid, were observed when infectedDrosophila cells were pulsed with35S-methionine. Viral RNA coded for the synthesis of several major proteins with molecular weights between 110,000 and 38,000 in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. Long chases of the translated products demonstrated processing of capsid protein precursors into capsid protein. Partial proteolysis demonstrated similarities in the proteins synthesisedin vitro andin vivo.

    Notes: Summary Isolates ofDrosophila C virus (DCV) fromDrosophila flies obtained in geographically different regions were adapted to growth inDrosophila tissue culture cells. The viruses, purified from tissue culture cells, were shown to be serologically related to one of the isolates (“O” from Ouarzazate, morocco). Analysis of the structural proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated differences between the isolates. Labelling intracellular proteins of infectedDrosophila melanogaster cells with35S-methionine at 28° C demonstrated the presence of the virus structural proteins and their immediate precursors. Raising the temperature to 37° C both before and during the pulse period inhibited the processing of the high molecular weight proteins and resulted in a greater “shut-off” of host cell proteins than viral induced proteins. This allowed the precursor proteins to be compared as well as the structural proteins of the different strains. It was possible to clearly distinguish differences between the isolates on the basis of the induced proteins, although limited proteolysis of corresponding proteins showed marked similarities. Hence it is possible to distinguish between different isolates of the “same” small RNA-virus of insects from geographically different regions.

    Notes: Summary Treatment of Cricket paralysis virus infectedDrosophila cells with iodoacetamide before radiolabelling with35S-methionine results in the appearance of two high molecular weight polypeptides of ≃200,000 molecular weight, not apparent in untreated infected cells (17). To attempt to differentiate between the effects of iodoacetamide being attributable to either alteration of initial polyprotein or inhibition of the protease (either cellular or viral) the effects of a spectrum of protease inhibitors were examined. These included aprotinin, leupeptin, pepstatin, elevated zinc concentration, phenyl methyl sulphonyl-fluoride, N-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK) and N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK). TLCK and TPCK both inhibited the cleavage of proteins which demonstrates an inhibition of the protease activity. The introduction of amino acid analogues into the infected cells before pulsing also results in the appearance of higher molecular weight proteins. This could be attributed to alternation of the polyprotein making it nonsusceptible to digestion with pre-existing cellular protease or newly synthesized viral protease. The possibility that the presence of the amino acid analogues results in alteration of a viral coded protease cannot be eliminated.

    Notes: Summary Cricket paralysis virus RNA acted as a messenger in a translation system and directed incorporation of35S-methionine into protein. Polyacrylamide gel analysis of the proteins demonstrated the presence of proteins of comparable molecular weight to the viral structural proteins and also potential high molecular weight precursors.

    Notes: Summary Drosophila C virus RNA acted as mRNA in rabbit reticulocyte lysates and directed the synthesis of at least one capsid protein and a number of higher molecular weight proteins. Kinetic analysis by pulse-chase experiments showed that a number of high molecular weight products acted as precursors to the capsid protein(s). Various dilution experiments were performed which showed that the virus specified a protease activity essential for the correct processing of precursors to give the capsid protein(s). A similar result was obtained with Cricket paralysis virus, and mixing experiments showed that the protease activity specified by one virus could perform some of the cleavages resulting in the production of the capsid proteins of the other virus. Some of the cleavages involving the highest molecular weight precursors could not be performed by the protease activity of the other virus. We could find no evidence for intramolecular cleavage of the capsids precursors of either of the viruses.

    Notes: Summary Cell suspensions prepared by enzymatic dispersion of whole rat adrenal glands for the purpose of studying adrenocortical cells were found to contain chromaffin cells even though they are commonly thought to not survive in such preparations. These cells fluoresced when treated with methods specific for catecholamines. The fluorescent cells persisted in the cultures of “cortical” cells, took on the morphology of neurons in the cultures, maintained their specific catecholamine fluorescence in long-term cultures, and ultrastructurally were identical to chromaffin cells.
