title: Phosphorylation of ribosomal proteins in hamster fibroblasts infected with pseudorabies virus or herpes simplex virus.
abstract: In BHK cells infected with pseudorabies virus, there was a substantial increase in the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6. This increase occurred between 2 and 4 h after infection and persisted at least until 9 h. We estimated that in mock-infected cells S6 contained, on an average, one phosphate group per protein chain, whereas in infected cells this rose to between four and five phosphate groups per protein chain. A second ribosomal protein, either S16 or S18, was also phosphorylated after infection. No increase in cyclic AMP was found at the time of phosphorylation. We also found an increased phosphorylation of S6 in herpes simplex virus-infected BHK cells.
