Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the vaccinia gene A18R cause activation of the cellular ribonucleolytic 2-5A pathway. To determine the mechanism of 2-5A pathway activation, mutant infections were analyzed for synthesis of double-stranded RNA and for transcription of individual virus genes. At late times postinfection, A18R mutant-infected cells contained an increased amount of complementary RNA and a higher steady state level of...
