Structural protein ts defects impair poliovirus host shutoff; leaves open repressor mapping in wild-type strains.
Repression of host protein synthesis by poliovirus is dependent on the configuration of a product of the structural protein gene.
Steiner-Pryor et al. (1973) studied Poliovirus infection. Temperature-sensitive (ts) mutations in structural genes vs. Wild-type poliovirus or non-structural gene mutants was evaluated on Repression of host cell protein synthesis (psr character). Temperature-sensitive poliovirus mutants with repressor defects in host protein synthesis were found to carry defects solely in structural protein genes.
