An enzymatic activity which incorporates [3H]UMP into acid-precipitable material in the presence of endogenous template was found in the cytoplasm of porcine cells infected with the transmissible gastroenteritis virus of swine. This activity was not found in uninfected control cells, nor was it found in purified virus. The activity was associated with the mitochondrial fraction of infected cells, suggesting that the enzyme is membrane bound. The activity required the presence of all 3 ribonucleoside triphosphates in addition to [3H]UTP, and it was not inhibited by actinomycin D. The heated product was digested by RNase but not by DNase. Mg2+ was required for enzymatic activity, and its optimal concentration was .apprx. 5 mM. The size of the in vitro products was compared by electrophoresis with that of in vivo-synthesized virus-specified RNA to confirm the viral specificity of the polymerase activity. Virus-specified RNA from infected cells consisted of 10 species of single-stranded, polyadenylated RNA with MW of 6.8 .times. 106, 6.2 .times. 106, 3.15 .times. 106, 1.40 .times. 106, 1.05 .times. 106, 0.94 .times. 106, 0.66 .times. 106, 0.39 .times. 106, 0.34 .times. 106 and 0.24 .times. 106. In vitro-synthesized RNA consisted of a high MW species of apparently higher MW than genomic RNA, and 2 single-stranded species that electrophoretically comigrated with the species of 1.40 .times. 106 and 0.66 .times. 106 MW made in vivo.
