Combination of the Q beta replicase reaction with the Escherichia coli cell-free translation system markedly enhances replication of a recombinant RQ-DHFR RNA consisting of the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) mRNA sequence inserted into RQ135(-1) RNA, an efficient naturally occurring Q beta replicase template. The enhancement is associated with a replication asymmetry previously described for the replication of Q beta phage RNA in vivo; the sense (+)-strands are produced in large excess over the antisense (-)-strands. This, in turn, results in increased synthesis of the functionally active DHFR. These effects are not observed when DHFR mRNAs or RQ135(-1) RNAs are used as templates, if the translation system is not complete, or if it is inhibited by puromycin. The coupled replication-translation of nonviral mRNA recombinants can serve as a useful model for studying the fundamental aspects of virus amplification and can be implemented for large-scale protein synthesis in vitro.
