We isolated six temperature-sensitive mutants of poliovirus type 1 (Mahoney) by hydroxylamine mutagenesis and replica plating at 31, 33 (permissive), and 39 degrees C (restrictive). One of these mutants, designated tsB9, was chosen for more detailed examination. tsB9 accumulated 25% of the wild-type amount of virus-specific RNA at the restrictive temperature. We found that tsB9 was not able to synthesize mature, 35S single-stranded RNA at the restrictive temperature. In spite of the absence of significant RNA synthesis, tsB9 retained the ability to inhibit host protein synthesis during infection at 39 degrees C at about the same rate as wild-type virus.
