Abstract

A host cell protein required for poliovirus RNA-dependent RNA replicase activity in vitro has been purified several thousand-fold from an uninfected HeLa cell postmitochondrial supernatant. A single protein of apparent Mr = approximately 67,000 daltons and pI 6.3 is associated with this "host factor" activity. Poly(U)-Sepharose chromatography of the template-dependent replicase isolated from poliovirus-infected cells results in the complete loss of replicase activity if a salt gradient is used to develop the column. Host factor elutes early in the salt gradient and restores replicase activity to protein fractions eluted later in the gradient. The host factor, estimated to be present at 50,000-100,000 copies/cell, interacts physically with replicase.
