Abstract

RNA genomes of enteroviruses and rhinoviruses contain a 5′-terminal structure, the cloverleaf (CL), which serves as signal in RNA synthesis. Substitution of the poliovirus [PV1(M)] CL with that of human rhinovirus type 2 (HRV2) was shown previously to produce a viable chimeric PV, whereas substitution with the HRV14 CL produced a null phenotype. Fittingly, the HRV14 CL failed to form a complex with PV-specific proteins 3CD–3AB or 3CD–PCBP2, considered essential for RNA synthesis. It was reported previously ( Rohll , , 4384–4391, 1994 ) that the major determinant for the null phenotype of a PV/HRV14 chimera resides in subdomain Id of the HRV14 CL. Using a chimeric PV/HRV14 CL in the context of the PV genome, stem–loop Id of HRV14 CL was genetically dissected. It contains the sequence C -G, the underlined nucleotides forming the loop that is shorter by 1 nt when compared to the corresponding PV structure (U G). Insertion of a G nucleotide to form a tetra loop (C G) did not rescue replication of the chimera. However, an additional mutation at position 60 (C G) yielded a replicating genome. Only the mutant PV/HRV14 CL with the tetra loop formed ternary complexes efficiently with either PV proteins 3CD–3AB or 3CD–PCBP2. Thus, in the context of PV RNA synthesis, the presence of a tetra loop in subdomain D of the CL per se is not sufficient for function. The sequence and, consequently, the structure of the tetra loop plays an essential role. Biochemical assays demonstrated that the function of the CL element and the function of the -acting replication element in the 3D–3CD-dependent uridylylation of VPg are not linked.
