Human rhinovirus 14 infection of HeLa cells results in the proteolytic cleavage of the p220 cap-binding complex subunit and inactivates globin mRNA translation in vitro.

Abstract

One of the characteristics of picornavirus infection of cells in tissue culture is a specific inhibition of utilization of host cell mRNA for protein synthesis. In this study we show that human rhinovirus 14 is similar to poliovirus in that the inhibition of host cell translation that occurs during infection correlates with the proteolytic cleavage of an Mr 220,000 subunit of the cap-binding protein complex.
