Three interferon-sensitive (is) mutants of mengovirus have been isolated and the properties of one (is-1) studied in detail. This mutant,is-1, grows normally in control L cells, but in cells pretreated with interferon, its yield is at least 10-fold lower than wild type (is+). Furthermore,is-1 attains 95% of its final yield 12 hr postinfection whether in the presence or absence of interferon, whereas in protected cells,is+does not reach this level until 20 hr postinfection. In mixed infection in the presence of interferon,is+can rescueis-1, implying that the mutation affects a diffusible product. Most cells protected with 10 units of interferon and infected withis-1 survive the infection and are able to form clones, as measured by colony-forming ability. If protected cells are treated with actinomycin D immediately following infection, the yields from cells infected withis-1 are enhanced and the yields from cells infected withis+are lowered, the net result being complete reversal of theis-1 phenotype. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that theis-1 function protects the virus genome from an induced cellular nuclease.
