A recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-PeGFP-M-MmRFP) encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein fused in frame with P (PeGFP) in place of P and a fusion matrix protein (monomeric red fluorescent protein fused in frame at the carboxy terminus of M [MmRFP]) at the G-L gene junction, in addition to wild-type (wt) M protein in its normal location, was recovered, but the MmRFP was not incorporated into the virions. Subsequently, we generated recombinant viruses (VSV-PeGFP-ΔM-Mtc and VSV-ΔM-Mtc) encoding M protein with a carboxy-terminal tetracysteine tag (Mtc) in place of the M protein. These recombinant viruses incorporated Mtc at levels similar to M in wt VSV, demonstrating recovery of infectious rhabdoviruses encoding and incorporating a tagged M protein. Virions released from cells infected with VSV-PeGFP-ΔM-Mtc and labeled with the biarsenical red dye (ReAsH) were dually fluorescent, fluorescing green due to incorporation of PeGFP in the nucleocapsids and red due to incorporation of ReAsH-labeled Mtc in the viral envelope. Transport and subsequent association of M protein with the plasma membrane were shown to be independent of microtubules. Sequential labeling of VSV-ΔM-Mtc-infected cells with the biarsenical dyes ReAsH and FlAsH (green) revealed that newly synthesized M protein reaches the plasma membrane in less than 30 min and continues to accumulate there for up to 2 1/2 hours. Using dually fluorescent VSV, we determined that following adsorption at the plasma membrane, the time taken by one-half of the virus particles to enter cells and to uncoat their nucleocapsids in the cytoplasm is approximately 28 min.Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), the prototypic rhabdovirus within the family Rhabdoviridae and the order Mononegavirales, is an enveloped virus with a negative-stranded RNA genome of 11,161 nucleotides. The viral genome encodes five proteins, namely, the nucleoprotein (N), the phosphoprotein (P), the matrix protein (M), the glycoprotein (G), and the large polymerase protein (L) (35). The genome is present within the virion core as a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) or nucleocapsid (NC) complex tightly encapsidated by the N protein and associated with the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, a multiprotein complex of the viral L and P proteins. The G protein forms spikes on the viral envelope, binds to cell surface receptors, and plays a role in entry of virus into susceptible cells. The M protein is multifunctional; it plays a role in virus assembly and is responsible for cytopathogenesis observed in virus-infected cells (6).Studies on viral protein transport and virus motility in infected cells have been facilitated by imaging of fluorescent proteins fused to viral structural proteins (for reviews, see references 8 and 23). Recent advances in imaging techniques, coupled with the ability to genetically tag viral structural proteins with fluorescent proteins or to label viral membranes with lipophilic dyes, have allowed studies of the dynamic events of virus entry as well as of virus-cell interactions (17, 27-29, 31, 34, 40, 43, 51, 53). For enveloped viruses, the hallmark event of infection is the fusion of the viral envelope and the release of the NC (or RNP) into the cytoplasm. To examine the infection process by fluorescence microscopy and to distinguish between the enveloped virion and the uncoated NC, it is essential to differentially label the viral envelope and the NC core. Dually fluorescent viruses in which the viral core component, such as the NC or the RNP, is labeled with one fluorescent color and the envelope component is labeled with another color are thus powerful reagents for studies of virus entry and NC uncoating during early stages of infection as well as for studies of virus assembly during late stages of infection. Recently, dually fluorescent rabies virus (27) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (9, 30) have been generated successfully. Using the dually fluorescent rabies virus, it was demonstrated that complete virus particles are transported in a retrograde manner (27).Successful recovery of a recombinant VSV encoding the P protein fused in frame with enhanced green fluorescent protein (PeGFP) allowed us to track the intracellular transport of viral NCs by live-cell imaging (14). This study demonstrated that microtubules were involved in viral NC transport toward the cell periphery (14), presumably to the plasma membrane for virus assembly. Whether the M protein interacts with the viral NCs before transport to the plasma membrane or at the plasma membrane prior to virus assembly remains a fundamental question in VSV assembly. Previous studies have shown that the M protein and the NCs do interact in vitro and in vivo (11, 12, 26), although more recent studies suggest that such interactions may occur only at the plasma membrane (18, 54). To examine the events of virus entry, uncoating, and also assembly, we wanted to generate a dually fluorescent VSV encoding PeGFP and monomeric red fluorescent protein fused in frame with the M protein at its carboxy terminus (MmRFP). Although repeated attempts to recover VSV with the fluorescently tagged M protein in place of wild-type (wt) M were unsuccessful, viruses encoding the fluorescently tagged M protein could be recovered when it was inserted as an extra cistron at the G-L gene junction. Further use of this virus for studies of virus entry, uncoating, and egress was limited because the MmRFP fusion protein was not incorporated into the virions.Recently, a new method of genetic tagging of proteins for fluorescence imaging was developed wherein the protein is tagged with a relatively smaller tetracysteine (tc) motif (CCPGCC). This motif can be recognized specifically by membrane-permeable biarsenical dyes that fluoresce when covalently bound to the cysteine pairs in the tc motif (1, 24, 39). Such a small tag can be fused to the protein of interest with minimal disruption of protein function. This is a powerful approach for real-time visualization of nascent protein synthesis and trafficking, as the existing and newly synthesized pools of proteins can be labeled differentially with the two fluorescent biarsenical dyes, FlAsH (green) and ReAsH (red) (38, 48). Using a tc-tagged M protein (Mtc) encoded in place of the wt M protein in the VSV genome, we rescued recombinant viruses (VSV-PeGFP-ΔM-Mtc and VSV-ΔM-Mtc) and demonstrated that the Mtc was incorporated into infectious virions in amounts similar to that observed for M protein in wt VSV. Moreover, dynamic imaging of newly synthesized M protein by sequential labeling with the two biarsenical dyes revealed that the M protein is transported from the site of synthesis inside the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane in less than 30 min. We have also shown that the M protein reaches the plasma membrane independent of NCs and the microtubules. Additionally, our results show that following adsorption, entry and uncoating of VSV in the infected cells occur with a half-life of approximately 28 min. 相似文献

The open reading frame III of Borna disease virus (BDV) codes for a protein with a mass of 16 kDa, named p16 or BDV-M. p16 was described as an N-glycosylated protein in several previous publications and therefore was termed gp18, although the amino acid sequence of p16 does not contain any regular consensus sequence for N glycosylation. We examined glycosylation of p16 and studied its membrane topology using antisera raised against peptides, which comprise the N and the C termini. Neither an N- nor a C-terminal peptide is cleaved from p16 during maturation. Neither deglycosylation of p16 by endoglycosidases nor binding of lectin to p16 was detectable. Introduction of typical N-glycosylation sites at the proposed sites of p16 failed in carbohydrate attachment. Flotation experiments with membranes of BDV-infected cells on density gradients revealed that p16 is not an integral membrane protein, since it can be dissociated from membranes. Our experimental data strongly suggest that p16 is a typical nonglycosylated matrix protein associated at the inner surface of the viral membrane, as is true for homologous proteins of other members of the Mononegavirales order. 相似文献

A comparison of the replication patterns in L cells and in chick embryo (CE) cell cultures was carried out with the Herts strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV(o)) and with a mutant (NDV(pi)) isolated from persistently infected L cells. A significant amount of virus progeny, 11 plaque-forming units (PFU)/cell, was synthesized in L cells infected with NDV(o), but the infectivity remained cell-associated and disappeared without being detectable in the medium. In contrast, in L cells infected with NDV(pi), progeny virus (30 PFU/cell) was released efficiently upon maturation. It is suggested that the term "covert" rather than "abortive" be used to describe the infection of L cells with NDV(o). In both L and CE cells, the latent period of NDV(pi) was 2 to 4 hr longer than for NDV(o). The delay in synthesis of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the case of NDV(pi) coincided with the delay in the inhibition of host RNA and protein synthesis. Although both NDV(o) and NDV(pi) produced more progeny and more severe cell damage in CE cells than in L cells, the shut-off of host functions was significantly less efficient in CE cells than in L cells. Paradoxically, no detectable interferon was produced in CE cells by either of the viruses, whereas in L cells most of the interferon appeared in the medium after more than 90% of host protein synthesis was inhibited. These results suggest that the absence of induction of interferon synthesis in CE cells infected with NDV is not related to the general shut-off of host cell synthetic mechanisms but rather to the failure of some more specific event to occur. In spite of the fact that NDV(pi) RNA synthesis commenced 2 to 4 hr later than that of NDV(o), interferon was first detected in the medium 8 hr after infection with both viruses. This finding suggests that there is no relation between viral RNA synthesis and the induction of interferon synthesis. 相似文献

After infection of several permanent monkey cell lines by simian virus 40 (SV40), four additional protein bands can be detected by simple sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of whole-cell extracts. These bands appear only after the onset of viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, and inhibitors of DNA synthesis prevent their appearance. Three of them correspond to three previously identified capsid components, VP1, VP2, and VP3. The fourth protein band, which does not correspond to a previously identified virion component, is induced by SV40 infection of CV-1 and BSC-1 cultures but not by infection of MA-134 cultures. 相似文献

[3H]leucine-labeled proteins synthesized in BHK-21 cells infected with Semliki Forest virus were fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Cellular and virus-specific proteins were identified by difference analysis of the PAGE profiles. The specific activity of intracellular [3H]leucine was determined. Two alterations of protein synthesis, which develop with different time courses, were discerned. (i) In infected cultures an inhibition of overall protein synthesis to about 25% of the protein synthesis in mock-infected cultures develops between about 1 and 4 h postinfection (p.i.). (ii) The relative amount of virus-specific polypeptides versus cellular polypeptides increases after infection. About 80% of the proteins synthesized at 4 h p.i. are cellular proteins. Since significant amounts of nontranslocating ribosomes in polyribosomes were not detected up to 7 h p.i., the inhibition of protein synthesis is not caused by inactivation of about 75% of all polyribosomes but by a decreased protein synthetic activity of the majority of polyribosomes. Indirect evidence indicates that an inhibition of elongation and/or release of protein synthesis develops in infected cells, which is sufficient to account for the observed inhibition of protein synthesis. Inhibition of over-all protein synthesis developed when virus-specific RNA began to accumulate at the maximal rate. This relationship was observed during virus multiplication at 37, 30, and 25 C. A possible mechanism by which synthesis of virus-specific RNA in the cytoplasm could inhibit cellular protein synthesis is discussed. Indirect evidence and analysis of polyribosomal RNA show that the increased synthesis of virus-specific protein is brought about by a substitution of cellular by viral mRNA in the polyribosomes. 相似文献

Amyloid‐β (Aβ)‐peptide, the major constituent of the plaques that develop during Alzheimer's disease, is generated via the cleavage of Aβ precursor protein (APP) by β‐site APP‐cleaving enzyme (BACE). Using live‐cell imaging of APP and BACE labeled with pH‐sensitive proteins, we could detect the release events of APP and BACE and their distinct kinetics. We provide kinetic evidence for the cleavage of APP by α‐secretase on the cellular surface after exocytosis. Furthermore, simultaneous dual‐color evanescent field illumination revealed that the two proteins are trafficked to the surface in separate compartments. Perturbing the membrane lipid composition resulted in a reduced frequency of exocytosis and affected BACE more strongly than APP. We propose that surface fusion frequency is a key factor regulating the aggregation of APP and BACE in the same membrane compartment and that this process can be modulated via pharmacological intervention. 相似文献

The inhibition of protein synthesis in L cells by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) requires the synthesis of new protein subsequent to virus infection. However, two mechanisms may be involved in the inhibition of cell protein synthesis by VSV: an initial, multiplicity-dependent, ultraviolet-insensitive inhibition and a progressive, ultraviolet-sensitive inhibition. 相似文献

Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Integrase Protein Augments Viral DNA Synthesis in Infected Cells

Mutations in the IN domain of retroviral DNA may affect multiple steps of the virus life cycle, suggesting that the IN protein may have other functions in addition to its integration function. We previously reported that the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 IN protein is required for efficient viral DNA synthesis and that this function requires specific interaction with other viral components but not enzyme (integration) activity. In this report, we characterized the structure and function of the Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV) IN protein in viral DNA synthesis. Using an MLV vector containing green fluorescent protein as a sensitive reporter for virus infection, we found that mutations in either the catalytic triad (D184A) or the HHCC motif (H61A) reduced infectivity by approximately 1,000-fold. Mutations that deleted the entire IN (DeltaIN) or 34 C-terminal amino acid residues (Delta34) were more severely defective, with infectivity levels consistently reduced by 10,000-fold. Immunoblot analysis indicated that these mutants were similar to wild-type MLV with respect to virion production and proteolytic processing of the Gag and Pol precursor proteins. Using semiquantitative PCR to analyze viral cDNA synthesis in infected cells, we found the Delta34 and DeltaIN mutants to be markedly impaired while the D184A and H61A mutants synthesized cDNA at levels similar to the wild type. The DNA synthesis defect was rescued by complementing the Delta34 and DeltaIN mutants in trans with either wild-type IN or the D184A mutant IN, provided as a Gag-IN fusion protein. However, the DNA synthesis defect of DeltaIN mutant virions could not be complemented with the Delta34 IN mutant. Taken together, these analyses strongly suggested that the MLV IN protein itself is required for efficient viral DNA synthesis and that this function may be conserved among other retroviruses. 相似文献

Influenza viruses are a global health concern because of the permanent threat of novel emerging strains potentially capable of causing pandemics. Viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) containing genomic RNA segments, nucleoprotein oligomers, and the viral polymerase, play a central role in the viral replication cycle. Our knowledge about critical events such as vRNP assembly and interactions with other viral and cellular proteins is poor and could be substantially improved by time lapse imaging of the infected cells. However, such studies are limited by the difficulty to achieve live-cell compatible labeling of active vRNPs. Previously we designed the first unimpaired recombinant influenza WSN-PB2-GFP11 virus allowing fluorescent labeling of the PB2 subunit of the viral polymerase (Avilov et al., J.Virol. 2012). Here, we simultaneously labeled the viral PB2 protein using the above-mentioned strategy, and virus-encoded progeny RNPs through spontaneous incorporation of transiently expressed NP-mCherry fusion proteins during RNP assembly in live infected cells. This dual labeling enabled us to visualize progeny vRNPs throughout the infection cycle and to characterize independently the mobility, oligomerization status and interactions of vRNP components in the nuclei of live infected cells. 相似文献

Data were obtained which indicated the possible cause of the defective elution from erythrocytes of the mutant virus (NDV(pi)) isolated from L cells persistently infected with the Herts strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV(o)). The chicken erythrocyte receptors for the mutant and wild-type viruses were equally sensitive to the action of Vibrio cholera filtrate neuraminidase; this suggests that the failure of NDV(pi) to elute from chicken erythrocytes is not due to a specific neuraminidase-resistant receptor for this virus on the erythrocyte membrane. There was no difference in the enzyme content of the intact virions of NDV(o) and NDV(pi) when tested with a soluble substrate, indicating that the inefficient elution of NDV(pi) was not due to a reduced enzyme content. The neuraminidase activity of intact NDV(pi) virions was significantly more stable at 55 C than the enzyme of NDV(o) virions, whereas the dissociated enzymes of the two viruses were inactivated at the same rate. On the basis of these findings, it seems likely there is a structural difference between the two viruses. The neuraminidase protein of the mutant NDV(pi) may be incorporated into the viral envelope in such a manner that it is prevented from reacting with the substrate in the erythrocyte membrane, although it can react with a soluble substrate. The hemagglutinin activity of both intact and disrupted NDV(pi) was significantly more resistant to thermal inactivation than that of the wild-type NDV(o). This finding suggests a genetic difference in the hemagglutinin protein of the two viruses. 相似文献

The efficiency of replication of a cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus isolated from a member of the order Lepidoptera, Euxoa scandens, was studied in eight different lepidopterean cell lines. Lymantria dispar cells, which were found to support viral replication, more efficiently, were used to follow the kinetics of appearance of viral-specific polypeptides by a 2-h pulse with [35S]methionine. Five polypeptides (ca. 120,000 molecular weight [120K], 105K, 66K, 46K, and 28K) were identified as components of the polyhedral inclusion bodies, and two polypeptides (112K and 39K) were assigned as viral-particle polypeptides. All these polypeptides were present after 24 h and were still being produced 96 h after infection. The rate of synthesis of the major polyhedral polypeptide (28K) increased in the time course of infection, whereas the background of cellular polypeptides seemed to be unaffected. An indirect immunoperoxidase technique, after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was blotted to a nitrocellulose membrane, showed that traces of the major polyhedral polypeptide were found from 8 h postinfection. 相似文献

An in vitro comparison was made of the RNA polymerase activity associated with Newcastle disease virus (NDVo) and three clones of the temperature-sensitive mutant (NDVpi) isolated from persistently infected L cells. Less polymerase activity was associated with the NDVpi clones. Also, compared to NDVo, an increase in incubation temperature from 32 to 37 or 42 C resulted in a marked decrease in polymerase activity for the temperature-sensitive mutants which coincided with their inability to replicate at 42 C. 相似文献
