Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) RNA replicase has been purified about 200-fold from CPMV-infectedVigna unguiculata leaves. Optimal reaction conditions for replicase activity have been established that allow RNA synthesis to proceed for at least 15 h. Using a polymerase assay under conditions optimal for CPMV RNA-directed RNA synthesis, all natural RNA species tested appeared to be able to direct the incorporation of labeled ribonucleotides, whereas synthetic homoribopolymers were either inactive or only slightly active. Using a nitrocellulose membrane filter assay to measure complex formation between the replicase preparation and various RNA species, all natural RNA species tested, except that of the comovirus radish mosaic virus, appeared to be unable to compete with32 P-labeled CPMV RNA in binding to replicase. We propose that CPMV replicase is actually template specific but does not display this property in a polymerase assay, since labile complexes between heterologous templates and replicase become stabilized by the formation of phosphodiester bonds. From homoribopolymer competition binding experiments we conclude that the polyadenylic acid on the CPMV genome might be a part of the replicase binding site.
