Abstract

synthesis of plum pox potyvirus (PPV)-specific nucleic acid has been measured in a crude fraction prepared from leaves of PPV-infected plants. Using alkali and DNase treatments, the synthesized nucleic acid was shown to be RNA. The electrophoretic mobility and the differing sensitivity to RNase at high and low salt concentrations allowed the identification of products probably corresponding to replicative form and replicative intermediate RNA, as well as to single-stranded RNA. Most of the PPV-specific RNA synthesized was shown to be of positive polarity. The RNA synthesis, performed in the presence of actinomycin D, required all four ribonucleoside triphosphates and Mg ions. This enzyme extract contained about 6% of the leaf protein and most of the identified virus-encoded proteins. Altogether, the results presented in this paper suggest that RNA synthesis was carried out by the PPV replicase complex.
