Poliovirus infection induces an overall inhibition of host protein
synthesis, although some mRNAs continue to be translated, suggesting
different translation requirements for cellular mRNAs. It is known that
ribosomal protein mRNAs are translationally regulated and that the
phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 is involved in the regulation.
Here, we report that the translation of ribosomal protein mRNAs resists
poliovirus infection and correlates with an increase in
p70s6k activity and phosphorylation of ribosomal
protein S6.
