Single-cell survival curves generated by infecting the Vero line of green monkey kidney (GMK) cells with Indiana-type vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) were used to establish the cell killing particle (CKP) activity of active, uv-irradiated and heat-inactivated (50°) virions, as well as that of conditional-lethal mutants tested at permissive (30°) and nonpermissive (40°) temperatures. CKP activity of virions treated in this manner was compared to that of infectivity, PFP, and virion-derived transcriptase activity measuredin vivo. Heat denaturation revealed that all three of these functions were lost at the same rate, the absolute value apparently set by the intrinsic lability of the virion-associated transcriptase. For VSV-HR and mutant ts G114, these rates wereK= 0.23 min−1andK= 1.44 min−1, respectively. Ultraviolet-radiation inactivated infectivity (PFP) at an exponential rate with the 37% survival dose,D° = 52.3 ergs min−2. Virion-derived transcription as measuredin vivoand CKP activity were lost at coincident rates upon irradiation, but were 5 times more resistant to inactivation—D° = 263 ergs min−2. In all cases,in vivovirion-derived transcriptase and CKP activities were inactivated at coincident rates. With mutant ts G114 (group I), the CKP and PFP titers were equivalent at 30°. However, ts G114 did not kill cells at 40°, nor was significant virion-derived transcription observed. In contrast, mutant ts W10 (group IV) produced almost equivalent CKP titers over a temperature range of 30°–40°. Although large amounts of primary transcripts accumulate in the presence of cycloheximide in cells infected with ts G114 at 30°, these transcripts act inefficiently to kill cells upon removal of the drug and a temperature-shift to 40°. Mutant ts G114 requires 18–20 hr at 30° to express maximum CKP activity. The lethal action of 50% of the CKP is extant by 6 hr at 30°, yet less than 10% of newly synthesized virus has been released. Cell killing factor is produced during normal infection and upon exposure of cells to (1) defective CKP, (2) uv-irradiated virions and (3) mutant ts W10 at nonpermissive temperatures. Virion-derived primary transcription is required to produce cell killing by VSV, but accumulation of transcripts per se does not suffice to kill cells. It appears likely that formation of a putative cell killing factor requires at least two reactants: (1) primary transcripts and (2) transcriptase molecules, functioning in a reaction(s) subsequent to primary transcription which could be replicative or transcriptive in nature.
