Sixteen temperature-sensitive mutants were isolated from N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine treated Semliki Forest virus. Seven of the mutants were unable to synthesize virus specific RNA at the nonpermissive temperature (39° C) and were classified as RNA mutants; as evidenced by temperature shift-up experiments they had defects only in early functions. Two mutants, designated RNA ±, made less virus specific RNA than the wild type virus. Six RNA+ mutants synthesized 42 S and 26 S RNA at 39° C in almost the same amounts and ratio as the wild type. Only one of them, ts-3, was unable to form the viral 140 S nucleocapsid at the nonpermissive temperature. One of the RNA+ mutants, ts-1, made a higher proportion of 42 S RNA, presumably at the expense of 26 S RNA, both at 27° C and at 39° C. The synthesis of 42 S RNA and 26 S RNA in the Semliki Forest and Sindbis wild type virus infected cells was temperature dependent. There was an increased synthesis of 42 S RNA compared to 26 S RNA at 39° C, the situation being reversed at 27° C.
