Abstract:
:The antiviral effect of foscarnet (PFA) on the replication of rotavirus, a member of the Reoviridae, was studied. The pyrophosphate analogue is an effective inhibitor of several viral polymerases acting on the enzyme pyrophosphate binding site. Replication of rotavirus in MA104 cells using different u.o.i. was inhibited by PFA in a concentration dependent manner, due to the inhibition of both plus- and minus-strand RNA synthesis. The addition of PFA to infected cells was specific for the inhibition of viral replication since uninfected cell incubated at the same PFA concentrations did not exhibit any cytotoxic effect. The 50% inhibitory effect of PFA on in vitro mRNA synthesis was obtained at a concentration of 150 microM. Over 80% of the in vitro minus-strand RNA synthesis was inhibited at a concentration of 320 microM, when PFA was assayed using replicase-enriched cell infected fraction. The results suggest that the effect may be due to an interaction of PFA with the viral polymerase, since this protein catalyses both plus- and minus-strand RNA synthesis. The results of experiments using the temperature-sensitive viral polymerase mutant show that the mutant is less sensitive to PFA, suggesting that this polypeptide is the target for PFA.
