It can thus be completely inhibited by the addition early after infection of either puromycin (Joklik & Becker, 1964) or p-fluorophenylalanine (FPA) (Appleyard & Zwartouw, 1965). This dependence upon protein synthesis has been related to a requirement for new enzymes and particularly the DNA polymerase which has been demonstrated in pox virus-infected cells (Magee, 1962; Green & Piña, 1962; Jungwirth & Joklik, 1965). Recently, however, Kates & McAuslan (1967) suggested that there is also need for a second type of protein function stoichiometrically related to DNA synthesis. We here draw attention to a difference in the action of puromycin and FPA which supports this interpretation and record additional findings which suggest that a third protein function may be needed to make ‘functional’ virus DNA.", }
