We isolated polyadenylated RNA from the cytoplasm of cells infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus late after infection (21 h postinfection). At that time intracellular protein synthesis was directed almost exclusively toward infected cell-specific proteins. The polyadenylic acid-containing RNA sequences in the cytoplasm at 21 h postinfection were radiolabeled in vitro and hybridized to A. californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus DNA restriction fragments. The polyadenylic acid-containing RNA was derived from regions representing the entire viral genome. Translation in a reticulocyte cell-free protein-synthesizing system of cytoplasmic RNA selected by hybridization to viral DNA and polyadenylic acid-containing RNA produced almost identical polypeptide patterns, suggesting that late after infection almost all of the cytoplasmic polyadenylic acid-containing RNA present in infected cells was of viral origin. Polyhedrin protein (molecular weight, 33,000) and a number of virion structural proteins were among the translation products which were identified by immunoprecipitation and by comparing molecular weights. In addition, some tentative nonstructural infected cell-specific proteins were also detected. Using the hybridization selection technique, we determined that sequences complementary to the message coding for polyhedrin were located on EcoRI fragment I of A. californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus DNA, whereas sequences coding for a putative nonstructural protein (molecular weight, 39,000) were on EcoRI fragment J.
