At 4 h after infection of BHK [hamster kidney] cells by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), the rate of total protein synthesis was about 65% that of uninfected cells and synthesis of the 12-15 predominant cellular polypeptides was reduced to a level of about 25% that of control cells. As determined by in vitro translation of isolated RNA and 1- and 2-dimensional gel analyses of the products, all predominant cellular mRNA remained intact and translatable after infection. The total amount of translatable mRNA per cell increased about 3-fold after infection; this additional mRNA directed synthesis of the 5 VSV structural proteins. To determine the subcellular localization of cellular and viral mRNA before and after infection, RNA from various sizes of polysomes and nonpolysomal ribonucleoproteins (RNP) was isolated from infected and noninfected cells and translated in vitro. Over 80% of most predominant species of cellular mRNA was bound to polysomes in control cells and over 60% was bound in infected cells. Only 2 of the 12 predominant species of translatable cellular mRNA were localized to the RNP fraction, both in infected and in uninfected cells. The average size of polysomes translating individual cellular mRNA was reduced about 2- to 3-fold after infection. In uninfected cells, actin, e.g., (MW 42,000) mRNA was found predominantly on polysomes with 12 ribosomes; after infection, it was found on polysomes with 5 ribosomes, the same size of polysomes that were translating VSV N (MW 52,000) and M (MW 35,000) mRNA. Thus, the inhibition of cellular protein synthesis after VSV infection is due, in large measure, to competition for ribosomes by a large excess of viral mRNA. The efficiency of initiation of translation on cellular and viral mRNA is about the same in infected cells; cellular ribosomes are simply distributed among more mRNA than are present in growing cells. About 20-30% of each of the predominant cellular and viral mRNA were present in RNP particles in infected cells and were presumably inactive in protein synthesis. There was no preferential sequestration of cellular or viral mRNA in RNP after infection.
