Key result

Temperature-sensitive poliovirus mutants with repressor defects in host protein synthesis were found to carry defects solely in structural protein genes.

Population

Poliovirus mutants (wild-type ts+ and ts mutants)

Comparison

Temperature shift to restrictive temperature… vs Permissive temperature and wild-type poliovirus…

Design

Preclinical

Authors

Implication

Structural protein ts defects impair poliovirus host shutoff; leaves open repressor mapping in wild-type strains.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Poliovirus mutants (wild-type ts+ and ts mutants)
E
Exposure
Temperature shift to restrictive temperature (39.5 °C) with minimized gene expression (guanidine addition, cystine depletion)
C
Comparator
Permissive temperature (37 °C) and wild-type poliovirus / non-structural gene mutants
O
Outcome
Repression of host cell protein synthesissurrogate

Repression of host protein synthesis by poliovirus is dependent on the configuration of a product of the structural protein gene.

Cite This Study

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.
