Little is known about the molecular determinants causing and sustaining viral persistent infections at the cellular level. We found that Drosophila cells persistently infected (PI) with Flock House virus (FHV) invariably harbor defective viral RNAs, which are replicated by the FHV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Some defective RNAs encoded a functional B2 protein, the FHV suppressor of RNA interference, which might contribute to maintenance of virus persistence. Viral small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) of both polarities were detected in PI cells and primarily mapped to regions of the viral genome that were preserved in the isolated defective RNAs. This indicated that defective RNAs could represent major sources of vsiRNAs. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that mitochondria and viral proteins are differentially distributed in PI cells and lytically infected cells, which may partly explain the reduction in infectious viral progeny. Our results provide a basis for further investigations of the molecular mechanisms underlying persistent infections.
