In vitro mRNA degradation system to study the virion host shutoff function of herpes simplex virus.

The virion host shutoff (vhs) gene of herpes simplex virus encodes a virion polypeptide that induces degradation of host mRNAs at early times and rapid turnover of viral mRNAs throughout infection. To better investigate the vhs function, an in vitro mRNA degradation system was developed, consisting of cytoplasmic extracts from HeLa cells infected with wild-type herpes simplex virus type 1 or a mutant encoding a defective vhs polypeptide. Host and viral mRNAs were degraded rapidly in extracts from cells productively infected with wild-type herpes simplex virus type 1 but not in extracts from mock-infected cells or cells infected with the mutant vhs1. In contrast, 28S rRNA was stable in all three kinds of extract. Accelerated turnover of host mRNAs was also observed in extracts from cells infected with wild-type virus in the presence of dactinomycin, indicating that the activity was induced by a structural component of the infecting virions. The in vitro vhs activity was inactivated by heat or proteinase K digestion but was insensitive to brief treatment of the extracts with micrococcal nuclease. It was not inhibited by placental RNase inhibitor, it exhibited a strong dependence upon added Mg2+, it was active at concentrations of K+ up to 200 mM, and it did not require the components of an energy-generating system. In summary, the in vitro mRNA degradation system appears to accurately reproduce the vhs-mediated decay of host and viral mRNAs and should be useful for studies of the mechanism of vhs action.     

Nucleic acids of respiratory syncytial virus.

Analysis of purified respiratory syncytial virus revealed that the virion RNA was composed of 50S, 28S, 18S, and 4S species. The 18S and 28S species were presumed to represent host rRNA since virus grown in actinomycin D-treated cells contained only 50S and 4S RNAs. Actinomycin D treatment stimulated production of infectious respiratory syncytial virus 5- to 10-fold. The 50S virion RNA was shown to hybridize with polyadenylated mRNA's isolated from infected cells, indicating that respiratory syncytial virus RNA is of negative-strand sense. Six mRNA's were identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.     

The virion host shutoff protein of herpes simplex virus type 1: messenger ribonucleolytic activity in vitro.

Shortly after tissue culture cells are infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 or 2, the rate of host protein synthesis decreases 5- to 10-fold and most host mRNAs are degraded. mRNA destabilization is triggered by the virion host shutoff (vhs) protein, a virus encoded, 58-kDa protein located in the virion tegument. To determine whether it can function as a messenger RNase (mRNase), the capacity of vhs protein to degrade RNA in vitro in absence of host cell components was assessed. Two sources of vhs protein were used in these assays: crude extract from virions or protein translated in a reticulocyte-free system. In each case, wild-type but not mutant vhs protein degraded various RNA substrates. Preincubation with anti-vhs antibody blocked RNase activity. These studies do not prove that vhs protein on its own is an mRNase but do demonstrate that the protein, either on its own or in conjunction with another factor(s), has the biochemical property of an mRNase, consistent with its role in infected cells.     

Phospholipids in Newcastle Disease Virus infected cells.

Infection of chicken cells with Newcastle Disease Virus modifies phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine synthesis in the host cell. The virion contains cellular phospholipids synthesized both before and after infection. Relative concentration of various labeled phospholipids in the virus differ from those in the corresponding cells and their surface membranes. Late in infection, fragments of membranes with a distribution of labeled phospholipids similar but not identical to that of the virus can be found in the supernatant of infected cells. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the origin of viral phospholipids and the intervention of the host cell membrane in the assembly of the viral envelope.

Depletion of glycoprotein gp85 from virosomes made with Epstein-Barr virus proteins abolishes their ability to fuse with virus receptor-bearing cells.

Entry of an enveloped virus such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) into host cells involves fusion of the virion envelope with host cell membranes either at the surface of the cell or within endocytic vesicles. Previous work has indirectly implicated the EBV glycoprotein gp85 in this fusion process. A neutralizing monoclonal antibody to gp85, F-2-1, failed to inhibit binding of EBV to its receptor but interfered with virus fusion as measured with the self-quenching fluorophore octadecyl rhodamine B chloride (R18) (N. Miller and L. M. Hutt-Fletcher, J. Virol. 62:2366-2372, 1988). To test further the hypothesis that gp85 functions as a fusion protein, EBV virion proteins including or depleted of gp85 were incorporated into lipid vesicles to form virosomes. Virosomes were labeled with R18, and those that were made with undepleted protein were shown to behave in a manner similar to that of R18-labeled virus. They bound to receptor-positive but not to receptor-negative cells and fused with Raji cells but not with receptor-positive, fusion-incompetent Molt 4 cells; monoclonal antibodies that inhibited binding or fusion of virus inhibited binding and fusion of virosomes, and virus competed with virosomes for attachment to cells. In contrast, virosomes made from virus proteins depleted of gp85 by immunoaffinity chromatography remained capable of binding to receptor-positive cells but failed to fuse. These results are compatible with the hypothesis that gp85 is actively involved in the fusion of EBV with lymphoblatoid cell lines and suggest that the ability of antibody F-2-1 to neutralize infectivity of EBV represents a direct effect on the function of gp85 as a fusion protein.     

Experimental infection of white spot syndrome virus in freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus.

The signal freshwater crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus was found to be susceptible to infection with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Histopathological observations of various tissues of virus-injected crayfish showed similar symptoms to those from WSSV-infected penaeid shrimp, but no appearance of white spots on the cuticle or reddish body colour were observed, although these are the prominent gross signs of white spot disease in shrimp. A gene probe for detecting WSSV was developed in order to detect the virus in affected cells and tissues using in situ hybridisation. Strong signals were observed in cells of virus-injected crayfish, but not in control-injected crayfish. The number of granular haemocytes in virus-injected crayfish was significantly higher than in sham-injected and non-injected crayfish from Days 5 to 8 (p < or = 0.05) and Days 3 to 8 (p < 0.01) post-injection, respectively. The proportion of granular haemocytes in virus-injected crayfish was also significantly higher than in sham-injected controls from Days 3 to 8 (p < 0.01). These results indicate that WSSV has a significant effect on the proportion of different haemocyte types in the freshwater crayfish.
