We have inserted a 405-nucleotide fragment from the 5' noncoding region of the coxsackievirus B3 genome into an infectious cDNA copy of the poliovirus RNA genome. Transfection of plasmid DNA containing this hybrid genome construct into cultured monkey cells produced infectious virus. Recombinant virus stocks displayed a temperature-sensitive phenotype for growth at 37 degrees C. We found that there is a dramatic reduction in the level of viral proteins and viral RNAs in HeLa cells infected with the recombinant at 37 degrees C compared to that obtained at 33.5 degrees C. Thus, insertion of a portion of the coxsackievirus genome into the poliovirus genome produces a temperature-sensitive recombinant virus. That this substitution occurs in a region of the poliovirus genome that, to date, has not been shown to have any coding function suggests that RNA sequences involved in replicase recognition or ribosome binding may contribute to the temperature-sensitive phenotype of the recombinant virus.
