Reovirus late (uncapped) mRNA was previously shown to be efficiently translated in vitro extracts prepared from infected cells but not from uninfected cells. We demonstrated that different fractions from infected cells can stimulate translation of late viral mRNA when added to uninfected extracts. The activity of the different fractions correlated with their relative content of the sigma 3 capsid protein; the fraction prepared by high-salt wash of the ribosomes had the highest specific activity. The activity present in this fraction was abolished by preincubation with an anti-sigma 3 serum. Purified sigma 3 protein also stimulated the translation of late viral mRNA, confirming that it was the factor involved. Altogether, these results suggest that this protein plays the role of a late-viral-mRNA-specific initiation factor. The absence of an inhibitory effect of sigma 3 on the translation of other mRNAs indicates that this protein is not directly involved in the inhibition of host and early viral mRNA translation that occurs in infected cells but that a second mechanism is probably operative.

The viral protein sigma 3 participates in translation of late viral mRNA in reovirus-infected L cells
