Mapping of herpesvirus saimiri proteins on the viral genome: proteins dependent and not dependent on viral DNA synthesis.

Hybrid selected translation was used to map the genome of herpesvirus saimiri, a lymphotropic and oncogenic herpesvirus. RNA extracted from virus-infected cells was hybridized to cloned genomic fragments, and the hybrid selected mRNAs were translated in vitro in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate. Forty-five virus-induced polypeptides were identified and correlated to their coding regions on the herpesvirus saimiri genome. Inhibition of the replication of viral DNA with phosphonoacetic acid showed that 22 of these polypeptides belong to the early group of herpesvirus saimiri gene products.

The metabolism of 3-benzoylpyridine.

3-Benzoylpyridine (3-BP), a decomposition product of the soman antidote, HGG-12 (3-benzoylpyridino(1)-methyl 2'-hydroxyiminomethylpyridino(1')methyl ether dichloride) was rapidly metabolized in the isolated perfused rat liver, giving 3-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)pyridine and its corresponding glucuronide, 3-benzoylpyridine-N-oxide, and 3-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)pyridine-N-oxide. The latter is formed both from 3-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)pyridine and 3-benzoylpyridine-N-oxide. Metabolism of 3-BP studied in rats and dogs in vivo revealed significant species differences. In rat, 80% of 14C-3-BP was excreted as N-oxides and alpha-hydroxybenzyl derivatives in the urine. In dogs, 95% dose was excreted in urine mostly as the glucuronide of 3-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)pyridine and as the quaternary pyridinium compounds, 3-benzoyl-1-methylpyridinium and 3-(alpha-hydroxybenzyl)-1-methylpyridinium. These latter were hardly detected in rat urine. In contrast to rats, the N-oxides were present only in small amounts in dog urine.
