| Abstract | We have carried out detailed phenotypic characterization of five temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of vaccinia virus, the ts lesions of which have previously been mapped to two different subunits of the viral RNA polymerase. We have also attempted to determine the mechanism of temperature sensitivity in these mutants. Phenotypic characterization of each of the mutants showed that at the nonpermissive temperature, all five mutants exhibited normal levels of early viral mRNA and protein synthesis, but for an extended period of time, all mutants accumulated normal levels of DNA in abnormally large pools in the cell cytoplasm; all mutants were defective in the synthesis of late viral mRNA and proteins and in viral morphogenesis. In an attempt to address the mechanism of temperature sensitivity in these mutants, we measured the effect of a temperature shift on the ability of the mutants to direct late viral protein synthesis. If infected cells were shifted down from a nonpermissive temperature late during infection, late protein synthesis was initiated after a lag period of 1 to 2 h. If infected cells were shifted up from a permissive temperature early during infection, late protein synthesis continued to be defective. If infected cells were shifted up to the nonpermissive temperature after late protein synthesis had commenced, late protein synthesis was maintained at the nonpermissive temperature at the level observed when the temperature was shifted up. We interpret these results to mean that once a functional RNA polymerase has been assembled at the permissive temperature during a mutant infection, it remains functional at the nonpermissive temperature, but that the ts mutants are defective in the assembly of a newly synthesized RNA polymerase at the nonpermissive temperature. This interpretation implies that the virion RNA polymerase is responsible for early viral transcription and that a newly synthesized RNA polymerase transcribes late viral genes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
