Abstract
A dynamic relationship exists between viruses and their hosts in which each ostensibly attempts to exploit the other’s vulnerabilities. A window is opened into the established condition, which evolved over millennia, if loss-of-function mutations occur in either the virus or host. Thus, the inability of viral host range mutants to replicate in specific cells can be overcome by identifying and inactivating the opposing cellular gene. Here, we investigated a C7/K1 host range mutant of vaccinia virus in which the cellular gene SAMD9 serves as the principal host restriction factor. Host restriction was triggered early in infection and manifested as a block in translation of viral mRNAs. Features of the block include inhibition of cap-dependent and internal ribosome entry site-mediated translation, sequestration of viral RNA, and inability to overcome the inhibition by inactivation of protein kinase R, ribonuclease L, or G3 binding proteins, suggesting a novel mechanism of host restriction.
