RESUMO
The replication of the RNA of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) defective interfering (DI) particles was established in a defined cell-free system. The transition from synthesis of only the DI-leader RNA to replication of the full-length DI RNA was effected in the system by newly synthesized VSV proteins and occurred in the absence of VSV helper virus. Both positive- and negative-polarity full-length DI RNA were synthesized. Furthermore, the products of RNA replication associated with newly synthesized viral proteins to form complexes that were indistinguishable from authentic DI particle nucleocapsids on the basis of buoyant density and resistance to ribonuclease digestion. The DI-leader RNA did not form ribonuclease-resistant structures. We conclude that this in vitro system successfully executes many of the reactions of VSV DI particle replication and assembly.
