Characterization of a ubiquitinated protein which is externally located in African swine fever virions.

An antiserum was raised against the African swine fever virus (ASFV)-encoded ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (UBCv1) and used to demonstrate by Western blotting (immunoblotting) and immunofluorescence that the enzyme is present in purified extracellular virions, is expressed both early and late after infection of cells with ASFV, and is cytoplasmically located. Antiubiquitin serum was used to identify novel ubiquitin conjugates present during ASFV infections. This antiserum stained virus factories late after infection, suggesting that virion proteins may be ubiquitinated. This possibility was confirmed by Western blotting, which identified three major antiubiquitin-immunoreactive proteins with molecular masses of 5, 18, and 58 kDa in purified extracellular virions. The 18-kDa protein was solubilized from virions at relatively low concentrations of the detergent n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, indicating that it is externally located and is possibly in the virus capsid. The 18-kDa protein was purified, and N-terminal amino acid sequencing confirmed that the protein was ubiquitinated and was ASFV encoded. The ASFV gene encoding this protein (PIG1) was sequenced, and the encoded protein expressed in an Escherichia coli expression vector. Recombinant PIG1 was ubiquitinated in the presence of E. coli expressed UBCv1 in vitro. These results suggest that PIG1 may be a substrate for UBCv1. The predicted molecular masses of the PIG1 protein and recombinant ubiquitinated protein were larger than the 18-kDa molecular mass of the ubiquitinated protein present in virions. Therefore, during viral replication, a precursor protein may undergo limited proteolysis to generate the ubiquitinated 18-kDa protein.     

African Swine Fever Virus Structural Protein pE120R Is Essential for Virus Transport from Assembly Sites to Plasma Membrane but Not for Infectivity

This report examines the role of African swine fever virus (ASFV) structural protein pE120R in virus replication. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that protein pE120R localizes at the surface of the intracellular virions. Consistent with this, coimmunoprecipitation assays showed that protein pE120R binds to the major capsid protein p72. Moreover, it was found that, in cells infected with an ASFV recombinant that inducibly expresses protein p72, the incorporation of pE120R into the virus particle is dependent on p72 expression. Protein pE120R was also studied using an ASFV recombinant in which E120R gene expression is regulated by the Escherichia coli lac repressor-operator system. In the absence of inducer, pE120R expression was reduced about 100-fold compared to that obtained with the parental virus or the recombinant virus grown under permissive conditions. One-step virus growth curves showed that, under conditions that repress pE120R expression, the titer of intracellular progeny was similar to the total virus yield obtained under permissive conditions, whereas the extracellular virus yield was about 100-fold lower than in control infections. Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy demonstrated that, under restrictive conditions, intracellular mature virions are properly assembled but remain confined to the replication areas. Altogether, these results indicate that pE120R is necessary for virus dissemination but not for virus infectivity. The data also suggest that protein pE120R might be involved in the microtubule-mediated transport of ASFV particles from the viral factories to the plasma membrane.     

Vaccinia mature virus fusion regulator A26 protein binds to A16 and G9 proteins of the viral entry fusion complex and dissociates from mature virions at low pH

Vaccinia mature virus enters cells through either endocytosis or plasma membrane fusion, depending on virus strain and cell type. Our previous results showed that vaccinia virus mature virions containing viral A26 protein enter HeLa cells preferentially through endocytosis, whereas mature virions lacking A26 protein enter through plasma membrane fusion, leading us to propose that A26 acts as an acid-sensitive fusion suppressor for mature virus (S. J. Chang, Y. X. Chang, R. Izmailyan R, Y. L. Tang, and W. Chang, J. Virol. 84:8422-8432, 2010). In the present study, we investigated the fusion suppression mechanism of A26 protein. We found that A26 protein was coimmunoprecipitated with multiple components of the viral entry-fusion complex (EFC) in infected HeLa cells. Transient expression of viral EFC components in HeLa cells revealed that vaccinia virus A26 protein interacted directly with A16 and G9 but not with G3, L5 and H2 proteins of the EFC components. Consistently, a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-A26 fusion protein, but not GST, pulled down A16 and G9 proteins individually in vitro. Together, our results supported the idea that A26 protein binds to A16 and G9 protein at neutral pH contributing to suppression of vaccinia virus-triggered membrane fusion from without. Since vaccinia virus extracellular envelope proteins A56/K2 were recently shown to bind to the A16/G9 subcomplex to suppress virus-induced fusion from within, our results also highlight an evolutionary convergence in which vaccinia viral fusion suppressor proteins regulate membrane fusion by targeting the A16 and G9 components of the viral EFC complex. Finally, we provide evidence that acid (pH 4.7) treatment induced A26 protein and A26-A27 protein complexes of 70 kDa and 90 kDa to dissociate from mature virions, suggesting that the structure of A26 protein is acid sensitive.     

Processing and localization of the african swine fever virus CD2v transmembrane protein

The African swine fever virus (ASFV)-encoded CD2v transmembrane protein is required for the hemadsorption of red blood cells around infected cells and is also required for the inhibition of bystander lymphocyte proliferation in response to mitogens. We studied the expression of CD2v by expressing the gene with a V5 tag downstream from the signal peptide near the N terminus and a hemagglutinin (HA) tag at the C terminus. In ASFV-infected cells, a full-length glycosylated form of the CD2v protein, which migrated mainly as a 89-kDa product, was detected, as well as an N-terminal glycosylated fragment of 63 kDa and a C-terminal nonglycosylated fragment of 26 kDa. All of these forms of the protein were localized in the membrane fraction of cells. The 26-kDa C-terminal fragment was also produced in infected cells treated with brefeldin A. These data indicate that the CD2v protein is cleaved within the luminal domain and that this occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi compartments. Confocal microscopy showed that most of the expressed CD2v protein was localized within cells rather than at the cell surface. Comparison of the localization of full-length CD2v with that of a deletion mutant lacking all of the cytoplasmic tail apart from the 12 membrane-proximal amino acids indicated that signals within the cytoplasmic tail are responsible for the predominant localization of the full-length and C-terminal 26-kDa fragment within membranes around the virus factories, which contain markers for the Golgi compartment. Processing of the CD2v protein was not observed in uninfected cells, indicating that it is induced by ASFV infection.     

The Major Structural Protein of African Swine Fever Virus, p73, Is Packaged into Large Structures, Indicative of Viral Capsid or Matrix Precursors, on the Endoplasmic Reticulum

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large enveloped DNA virus that shares the striking icosahedral symmetry of iridoviruses. To understand the mechanism of assembly of ASFV, we have been studying the biosynthesis and subcellular distribution of p73, the major structural protein of ASFV. Sucrose density sedimentation of lysates prepared from infected cells showed that newly synthesized p73 was incorporated into a complex with a size of 150 to 250 kDa. p73 synthesized by in vitro translation migrated at 70 kDa, suggesting that cellular and/or viral proteins are required for the formation of the 150- to 250-kDa complex. During a 2-h chase, approximately 50% of the newly synthesized pool of p73 bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). During this period, the membrane-bound pool of p73, but not the cytosolic pool, formed large complexes of approximately 50,000 kDa. The complexes were formed via assembly intermediates, and the entire membrane-associated pool of p73 was incorporated into the 50,000-kDa complex within 2 h. The 50,000-kDa complexes containing p73 were also detected in virions secreted from cells. Immunoprecipitation of sucrose gradients with sera taken from hyperimmune pigs suggested that p73 was the major component of the 50,000-kDa complex. It is possible, therefore, that the complex contains between 600 and 700 copies of p73. The kinetics of complex formation and envelopment of p73 were similar, and complex formation and envelopment were both reversibly inhibited by cycloheximide, suggesting a functional link between complex assembly and ASFV envelopment. A protease protection assay detected 50,000-kDa complexes on the inside and outside of the membranes forming the viral envelope. The identification of a complex containing p73 beneath the envelope of ASFV suggests that p73 may be a component of the inner core shell or matrix of ASFV. The outer pool may represent p73 within the outer capsid layer of the virus. In summary, the data suggest that the assembly of the inner core matrix and outer capsid of ASFV takes place on the ER membrane during envelopment and that these structures are not preassembled in the cytosol.     

Functional Analysis of Vaccinia Virus B5R Protein: Essential Role in Virus Envelopment Is Independent of a Large Portion of the Extracellular Domain

Vaccinia virus has two forms of infectious virions: the intracellular mature virus and the extracellular enveloped virus (EEV). EEV is critical for cell-to-cell and long-range spread of the virus. The B5R open reading frame (ORF) encodes a membrane protein that is essential for EEV formation. Deletion of the B5R ORF results in a dramatic reduction of EEV, and as a consequence, the virus produces small plaques in vitro and is highly attenuated in vivo. The extracellular portion of B5R is composed mainly of four domains that are similar to the short consensus repeats (SCRs) present in complement regulatory proteins. To determine the contribution of these putative SCR domains to EEV formation, we constructed recombinant vaccinia viruses that replaced the wild-type B5R gene with a mutated gene encoding a B5R protein lacking the SCRs. The resulting recombinant viruses produced large plaques, indicating efficient cell-to-cell spread in vitro, and gradient centrifugation of supernatants from infected cells confirmed that EEV was formed. In contrast, phalloidin staining of infected cells showed that the virus lacking the SCR domains was deficient in the induction of thick actin bundles. Thus, the highly conserved SCR domains present in the extracellular portion of the B5R protein are dispensable for EEV formation. This indicates that the B5R protein is a key viral protein with multiple functions in the process of virus envelopment and release. In addition, given the similarity of the extracellular domain to complement control proteins, the B5R protein may be involved in viral evasion from host immune responses.     

Golgi network targeting and plasma membrane internalization signals in vaccinia virus B5R envelope protein

The vaccinia virus B5R type I integral membrane protein accumulates in the Golgi network, from where it becomes incorporated into the envelope of extracellular virions. Our objective was to determine the domains of B5R responsible for Golgi membrane targeting in the absence of other viral components. Fusion of an enhanced green fluorescent protein to the C terminus of B5R allowed imaging of the chimeric protein without altering intracellular trafficking and Golgi network localization in transfected cells. Deletion or swapping of B5R domains with corresponding regions of the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein, which is targeted to the plasma membrane, indicated that (i) the N-terminal extracellular domain of B5R had no specific role in Golgi apparatus localization, (ii) the transmembrane domain of B5R was sufficient for exiting the endoplasmic reticulum, and (iii) removal of the cytoplasmic tail impaired Golgi network localization and increased the accumulation of B5R in the plasma membrane. Further experiments demonstrated that the cytoplasmic tail mediated internalization of B5R from the plasma membrane, suggesting a retrieval mechanism. Mutagenesis revealed residues required for Golgi membrane localization and efficient plasma membrane retrieval of the B5R protein: a tyrosine at residue 310 and two adjacent leucines at residues 315 and 316.     

Differential cell membrane labilizing effect of adenovirus type 5 and 12 observed during productive and abortive infection.

Culture fluid of human epitheloid (HEp-2) cells was examined for extracellular lactate dehydrogenase activity as an indicator of cell damage during a 48 h period in which virus replication and changes in cell morphology occurred. Uninfected and adenovirus type 5-infected cells had the same levels of extracellular enzyme activity both before and after the appearance of morphological changes in cells due to virus infection, whereas adenovirus type 12-infected cells showed increased extracellular enzyme activity. Cells infected with either adenovirus type 5 or type 12 had the same total cellular and extracellular lactate dehydrogenase activity. Hydrocortisone, a membrane stabilizing agent, prevented abnormal leakage of lactate dehydrogenase from adenovirus type 12-infected cells, but had no effect on virus replication or total enzyme activity of infected cells. After inoculation of monkey kidney (Vero) cells the yield of progeny adenovirus type 5 virions was greatly reduced and there was no production of adenovirus type 12 virions. The pattern of extracellular lactate dehydrogenase activity of uninfected and adenovirus type 5- and type 12-infected Vero cells was like that with HEp-2 cells. Therefore, production of adenovirus type 12 virions is not necessary for the virus-cell interaction causing cell membrane labilization.     

Characterization of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus membrane protein

The coronavirus membrane protein (M) is the key player in the assembly of virions at intracellular membranes between endoplasmic-reticulum and Golgi-complex. Using a newly established human monoclonal anti-M antibody we detected glycosylated and nonglycosylated membrane-associated M in severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infected cells and in purified virions. Further analyses revealed that M contained a single N-glycosylation site at asparagine 4. Recombinant M was transported to the plasma membrane and gained complex-type N-glycosylation. In SARS-CoV infected cells and in purified virions, however, N-glycosylation of M remained endoglycosidase H-sensitive suggesting that trimming of the N-linked sugar side chain is inhibited.
