Synthesis of vaccinia virus polypeptides in the presence of isatin-beta-thiosemicarbazone.

Isatin-beta-thiosemicarbazone (IBT) at a concentration of 14 muM inhibited the multiplication of vaccinia virus in HeLa cells. For the first 3 h after infection, viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was synthesized in the presence of IBT at the same rate as in the control culture; the replication rate declined at a later stage. The DNA failed to be coated with proteins and to become resistant to deoxyribonuclease unless IBT was removed. "Early" and "late" viral polypeptides were formed in the presence of IBT, as revealed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The formation from precursor of a core polypeptide, a reaction blocked by rifampin, was not affected by IBT. Therefore, it is suggested that a maturation step later than the one blocked by rifampin is involved in the inhibition of vaccinia virus by IBT.
