Based on the information that high salt inhibits the initiation of cellular mRNA translation which depends on the function of the 5'-terminal structure of mRNA, we compared the effect of high salt on translation of host cellular mRNAs and influenza viral mRNAs, both of which are of 5'-terminal structure. Brief exposure of influenza B virus-infected MDCK cells to high salt medium resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of viral polypeptide synthesis as well as of cellular polypeptide synthesis, but it had less effect on synthesis of viral polypeptides, particularly nonstructural protein (NS). Under these conditions the Na+ content of the infected cells was significantly increased. A similar salt effect on in vitro translation of viral and cellular mRNAs extracted from infected cells was also observed. There was no significant difference in sensitivity to hypertonic block of in vivo translation of influenza viral mRNAs and vesicular stomatitis virus mRNAs, the latter of which possess a virus-directed structure at the 5'-terminus.
