Sendai virus envelopes can be solubilized by non-ionic detergents such as Triton X-100. Removal of the detergent from a supernatant containing the solubilized viral envelope glycoproteins results in the formation of reconstituted fusogenic viral envelopes. When SV40-DNA is added to the reconstitution system, it is trapped within the viral envelope. Incubation of SV40-DNA-loaded Sendai virus envelopes with permissive cells (CV1 and TC7 cells) resulted in fusion-mediated injection of the trapped DNA, as was demonstrated by the ability of the injected cells to synthesize SV40-T-antigen. Quantitative estimation revealed that up to 20% of the injected cells were able to synthesize T-antigen. Loaded viral envelopes were able to inject SV40-DNA and to promote synthesis of T-antigen also in cells which are resistant to infection by intact SV40 viruses, such as F1' 1-4 cells. In addition, it is shown that reconstituted envelopes of Sendai virus are able to transfer membrane fragments from SV40 receptor-positive into SV40 receptor-negative cells, such as F1' 1-4 cells. After implantation of SV40 receptors, the F1' 1-4 cells became susceptible to infection by intact SV40 viruses.  相似文献

The fluorescent probes, N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-phosphatidylethanolamine and lissamine-rhodamine-B-sulfonylphosphatidylethanolamine, were inserted at the appropriate surface density into membranes of reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes, thus allowing transfer of energy between the fluorescent probes. In addition, only the fluorescent molecule N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-phosphatidylethanolamine was inserted into the viral envelopes, resulting in self-quenching. Incubation of fluorescent, reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes with human erythrocyte ghosts resulted in either reduction in the efficiency of energy transfer or in fluorescence dequenching. No reduction in the efficiency of energy transfer or fluorescence dequenching was observed when fluorescent, reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes were incubated with glutaraldehyde-fixed or desialized human erythrocyte ghosts. Similarly, no change in the fluorescence value was observed when nonfusogenic, reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes were incubated with human erythrocyte ghosts. These results clearly show that reduction in the efficiency of energy transfer or dequenching is due to virus-membrane fusion and not to lipid-lipid exchange. Incubation of reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes, carrying inserted N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazolephosphatidylethanolamine, with cultured cells also resulted in a significant and measurable dequenching. However, incubation of nonfusogenic, fluorescent reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes with hepatoma tissue culture cells also resulted in fluorescent dequenching, the degree of which was about 50% of that observed with fusogenic, fluorescent reconstituted viral envelopes. It is therefore possible that, in addition to virus-membrane fusion, endocytosis of fluorescent viral envelopes results in fluorescence dequenching as well.  相似文献

Incubation of intact Sendai virions or reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes with phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes at 37 degrees C results in virus-liposome fusion. Neither the liposome nor the virus content was released from the fusion product, indicating a nonleaky fusion process. Only liposomes possessing virus receptors, namely sialoglycolipids or sialoglycoproteins, became leaky upon interaction with Sendai virions. Fusion between the virus envelopes and phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes was absolutely dependent upon the presence of intact and active hemagglutinin/neuraminidase and fusion viral envelope glycoproteins. Fusion between Sendai virus envelopes and phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes lacking virus receptors was evident from the following results. Anti-Sendai virus antibody precipitated radiolabeled liposomes only after they had been incubated with fusogenic Sendai virions. Incubation of N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-labeled fusogenic reconstituted Sendai virus particles with phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes resulted in fluorescence dequenching. Incubation of Tb3+-containing virus envelopes with phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes loaded with sodium dipicolinate resulted in the formation of the chelation complex Tb3+-dipicolinic acid, as was evident from fluorescence studies. Virus envelopes fuse efficiently also with neuraminidase/Pronase-treated erythrocyte membranes, i.e. virus receptor-depleted erythrocyte membranes, although fusion occurred only under hypotonic conditions.  相似文献

Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b have been inserted into reconstituted envelopes of Sendai virus particles. Fluorescence measurements indicated a high efficiency of energy transfer between the two chlorophyll molecules due to their close proximity in the viral envelope. Fusion of reconstituted, pigmented virus envelopes with various biological cell membranes at 37 degrees C resulted in a significant decrease in the yield of energy transfer. Reduction in the efficiency of energy transfer was temperature and time dependent, and was also dependent upon the ratio between the reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes (donor) and recipient cells (acceptor). No reduction in the efficiency of energy transfer was observed when non-fusogenic, reconstituted viral envelopes were incubated with cell membranes.  相似文献

Association of the ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs): pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP), gelonin, Momordica charantia inhibitor (MCI), with reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes (RSVE) was obtained without detectable loss of activities either of RIPs or of viral envelope glycoproteins. RIPs are inactive towards intact cells, but, once encapsulated in RSVE, they become cytotoxic. The concentration of RSVE-associated PAP, which causes 50% inhibition of protein synthesis by Friend erythroleukemic cells, is 0.5 ng/ml. Substances capable to inhibit the viral activities block the acquired cytotoxicity of RIPs associated to RSVE.  相似文献

Anti-human erythrocyte antibodies or insulin molecules were covalently coupled to the glycoproteins (the hemagglutinin/neuraminidase and the fusion polypeptides) of Sendai virus envelopes with N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate and succinimidyl 4-(p-maleimidophenyl)butyrate as cross-linking reagents. Reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes, bearing covalently attached anti-human erythrocyte antibodies or insulin molecules, were able to bind to but not fuse with virus receptor depleted human erythrocytes (neuraminidase-treated human erythrocytes). Only coreconstitution of Sendai virus glycoproteins, bearing attached anti-human erythrocyte antibodies or insulin molecules with intact, untreated viral glycoproteins, led to the formation of fusogenic, targeted reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes. Binding and fusion of reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes, bearing anti-human erythrocyte antibodies or insulin molecules, with neuraminidase-treated human erythrocytes were blocked by the monovalent fraction, obtained after papain digestion of immunoglobulins, made of anti-human erythrocyte antibodies or free insulin molecules, respectively. The results of this work demonstrate an active role of the viral binding protein (hemagglutinin/neuraminidase polypeptide) in the virus membrane fusion process and show a novel and efficient method for the construction of targeted, fusogenic Sendai virus envelopes.  相似文献

Fluorescently labeled (bearing N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-phosphatidylethanolamine (N-NBD-PE)) reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes (RSVE) were used to study fusion between the viral envelopes and cultured living cells such as lymphoma, Friend erythroleukemia cells (FELC) and L cells. Incubation of fusogenic viruses with the above cell lines resulted in a relatively high degree (40-45%) of fluorescence dequenching. On the other hand, incubation of unfusogenic (trypsin or phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF)-treated) RSVE with these cells led to very little (6-9%) fluorescence dequenching. The degree of fluorescence dequenching was linearly correlated to the surface density of the virus-inserted N-NBD-PE molecules. Fluorescence photobleaching recovery experiments showed that fusion of fluorescent RSVE with FELC resulted in an infinite dilution of the fluorescent molecules in the recipient cell membranes. The fluorescent probe 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (N-NBD-Cl) was covalently attached to envelopes of intact Sendai virions without significantly impairing their biological activity. Incubation of fluorescently labeled, intact Sendai virions with cultured cells resulted in about 20% fluorescence dequenching. The present data clearly indicate that fluorescently labeled Sendai virions can be used for a quantitative estimation of the degree of virus-membrane fusion.  相似文献

A proteolytic activity is shown to be associated with relatively purified preparations of intact Sendai virus particles or with their reconstituted envelopes which are vesicles containing mainly the viral glycoproteins. Intact Sendai virus as well as reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes have been shown to be able to hydrolyze various protein molecules such as the human erythrocyte membrane polypeptide designated as band 3 and soluble polypeptides such as histone and insulin B-chain. The results of the present work raise the possibility that a direct correlation exists between the virus-associated proteolytic activity and the ability of the virions to lyse cells, to fuse with their membranes, and to promote cell-cell fusion. Inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes such as phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, tosyllysinechloromethylketone and tosylamidephenylethylchloromethylketone, or combinations thereof, inhibit the virus-associated proteolytic activity concomitantly with inhibition of its hemolytic and fusogenic activities. Electron microscopic studies showed that the various inhibitors did not affect the binding ability of the virus preparations. The possible involvement of a protease in the process of virus-membrane fusion is discussed.  相似文献

Phospholipid liposomes composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and cholesterol (chol), bearing the sialoglycoprotein glycophorin (GP), are able to effectively bind Sendai virus particles, but not to be lysed by them. Incorporation of gangliosides (gangl) into the above phospholipid vesicles (yielding liposomes composed of PC/chol/gangl/GP), although not increasing their ability to interact with Sendai virions, rendered them susceptible to the viral lytic activity. This was inferred from the ability of the virus to induce release of carboxyfluorescein (CF) upon interaction at 37 degrees C with liposomes composed of PC/chol/gangl/GP. Lysis of liposomes required the presence of the two viral envelope glycoproteins, namely the hemagglutinin/neuraminidase (HN) and the fusion (F) polypeptides, and was inhibited by phenylmethyl sulfonylfluoride (PMSF), dithiothreitol (DTT) and trypsin, showing that virus-induced lysis of PC/chol/gangl/GP liposomes reflects the fusogenic activity of the virus. Incubation of Sendai virus particles with liposomes containing the acidic phospholipid dicetylphosphate (DCP) but lacking sialic acid containing receptors, also resulted in release of the liposome content. Lysis of these liposomes was due to the activity of the viral HN glycoprotein, therefore not reflecting the natural viral fusogenic activity. Fluorescence dequenching studies, using fluorescently labeled reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes (RSVE), have shown that the viral envelopes are able to fuse with neutral, almost to the same extent, as with negatively charged liposomes. However, fusion with negatively charged liposomes, as opposed to fusion with neutral liposomes, was mediated by the viral HN glycoprotein and not by the viral fusion polypeptide.  相似文献

Co-reconstitution of influenza and Sendai virus phospholipids and glycoproteins resulted in the formation of membrane vesicles containing the envelope glycoproteins from both viruses within the same membrane. Reconstituted influenza-Sendai hybrids (RISH) were able to lyse human erythrocytes and fuse with their membranes or with living cultured cells at pH 5.0 as well as at pH 7.4, thus exhibiting the fusogenic properties of both viruses. This was also inferred from experiments showing that the fusogenic activity of RISH was inhibited by anti-influenza as well as by anti-Sendai virus antibodies. Fusion of FISH and of reconstituted influenza (RIVE) or reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes (RSVE) with recipient membranes was determined by the use of fluorescently labeled envelopes and fluorescence dequenching methods. Observations with the fluorescence microscope were used to study localization of fused reconstituted envelopes within living cells. Incubation of RISH and RSVE with living cells at pH 7.4 resulted in the appearance of fluorescence rings around the cell plasma membranes and of intracellular distinct fluorescent spots indicating fusion with cell plasma membranes and with membranes of endocytic vesicles, respectively. The fluorescence microscopy observations clearly showed that RIVE failed to fuse, at pH 7.4, with cultured cell plasma membranes, but fused with membranes of endocytic vesicles.  相似文献

Fate of mRNA of L-Cells Infected with Mengovirus   总被引:14,自引:12,他引:2  
Mengovirus infection of L-cells results in an inhibition of host protein synthesis which is detectable in vivo by a decreased rate of incorporation of radioactive amino acids into acid-insoluble material and by a concomitant reduction in polysome content. The inhibition of host protein synthesis occurs early in the infection cycle, at a time when there is little synthesis of viral proteins. In this paper the stability of polyadenylic acid [poly(A)]-containing mRNA of uninfected L-cells and cells infected with mengovirus is compared. Our results suggest that there is no increase in the rate of degradation of cellular mRNA upon virus infection. The continued integrity of host mRNA throughout infection was verified by acrylamide gel electrophoresis.  相似文献

A new way for reconstituting highly fusogenic Sendai virus envelopes is described. As opposed to previously described methods, in the present one the detergent (Triton X-100) is removed by direct addition of SM-2 Bio-beads to the detergent solubilized mixture of the viral phospholipids and glycoproteins, thus avoiding the long dialysis step. The vesicles obtained in the present work resemble, in their composition, size and features, envelopes of intact Sendai virus particles. The present method allows the enclosure of low and high molecular weight material within the reconstituted viral envelopes.  相似文献

Reconstitution and fusogenic properties of Sendai virus envelopes   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Sendai virus membranes were reconstituted by detergent dialysis, using the non-ionic detergents Triton X-100 and octyl glucoside. Membrane reassembly was determined by measuring the surface-density-dependent efficiency of resonance energy transfer between two fluorescent phospholipid analogues, which were co-reconstituted with the viral envelopes. The functional incorporation of the viral proteins was established by monitoring the ability of the reconstitution products to fuse with erythrocyte membranes, utilizing assays based on either resonance energy transfer or on relief of fluorescence selfquenching. The persistent adherence of residual Triton X-100 with the reconstituted membrane was revealed by an artificial detergent-effect on the resonance energy transfer efficiency and the occurrence of hemolysis of human erythrocytes under conditions where fusion does not occur. Properly reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes were obtained with octyl glucoside. The fusion activity of the viral envelopes was dependent on the initial concentration of octyl glucoside used to disrupt the virus and the rate of detergent removal. Rapid removal of detergent by dialysis against large volumes of dialysis buffer (ratio 1:850) or by gel filtration produced reconstituted membranes capable of inducing hemagglutination but significant fusion activity was not detected. By decreasing the volume ratio of dialysate versus dialysis buffer to 1:250 or 1:25, fusogenic viral envelopes were obtained. The initial fusion kinetics of the reconstituted viral membrane and the parent virus were different in that both the onset and the initial rate of fusion of the reconstituted membranes were faster, whereas the extents to which both particles eventually fused with the target membrane were similar. The differences in the initial fusion kinetics lead us to suggest that the details of the fusion mechanism between Sendai virus and the target membrane involve factors other than the mere presence of glycoproteins F and HN in the viral bilayer. Finally, the results also indicate that determination of the viral fusion activity in a direct manner, rather than by an indirect assay, such as hemolysis, is imperative for a proper evaluation of the functional properties retained upon viral reconstitution.  相似文献

Treatment of Daudi or HeLa cells with human interferon (IFN) alpha 8 before induction with either poly(I)-poly(C) or Sendai virus resulted in an 8- to 100-fold increase in IFN production. The extent of priming in Daudi cells paralleled the increase in the intracellular content of IFN-beta mRNA. IFN-alpha mRNA remained undetectable in poly(I)-poly(C)-treated Daudi cells either before or after priming. An IFN-resistant clone of Daudi cells was found to produce 4- to 20-fold more IFN after priming, indicating that priming was unrelated to the phenotype of IFN sensitivity. IFN treatment of either Daudi or HeLa cells transfected with the human IFN-beta promoter (-282 to -37) linked to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene resulted in an increase in CAT activity after induction with poly(I)-poly(C) or Sendai virus. A synthetic double-stranded oligonucleotide corresponding to an authentic 30-base-pair (bp) region of the human IFN-beta promoter between positions -91 and -62 was found to confer virus inducibility upon the reporter CAT gene in HeLa cells. IFN treatment of HeLa cells transfected with this 30-bp region of the IFN-beta promoter in either the correct or reversed orientation also increased CAT activity upon subsequent induction. IFN treatment alone had no detectable effect on the activity of either the 30-bp region or the complete human IFN promoter.  相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was co-reconstituted with Sendai virus envelopes. The reconstituted "hybrid' virus could bind and penetrate into EBV-receptor negative cells. Using this approach, T-cell-derived human and mouse leukemia cells, human T-lymphocytes and mouse spleen cells were successfully infected as judged by the induction of EBV-determined antigens and stimulation of DNA synthesis. The T-cell-derived human leukemia line Molt-4, that can absorb EBV but without virus penetration, could be also infected by the reconstituted EBV.  相似文献

The factor that determines the antigenic type of IFN produced in human lymphoblastoid cell lines was examined using live Sendai virus, ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated virus, HANA spikes exposed on L cells persistently infected with Sendai virus (L-HVJ) and poly-inosinic acid poly-cytidylic acid (poly I: C). When Sendai virus was irradiated with UV-light for 300 sec, its abilities to infect chicken eggs and induce IFN were diminished, but its HA activity was unaffected. HANA spikes exposed on L-HVJ could not induce IFN in human lymphoblastoid cell lines, although they induced IFN in mouse spleen cells. These results suggest that the induction of IFN in human lymphoblastoid cells is closely related to viral nucleic acid. Poly I: C also induced IFN in some human lymphoblastoid cell lines in which IFN production is induced by Sendai virus. The antigenic types of IFN induced by poly I: C were the same as those induced by Sendai virus. These results suggest that the antigenic type of IFN produced depends on the nature of the IFN producer cells rather than on the kind of IFN inducer.  相似文献

The cross-linking reagents succinimidyl-4-(p-maleimidophenyl)-butyrate and N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)-propionate were used to covalently attach antibodies against human erythrocytes to the thiol-containing paraffin, dodecanethiol. The complex formed, dodecanethiol-maleimidophenylbutyrate (or pyridyldithiopropionate)-antibody was inserted into the membranes of reconstituted Sendai virus envelopes. This was achieved by addition of the dodecanethiol-maleimidophenylbutyrate-antibody to a detergent solution (Triton X-100) containing the viral envelope phospholipids and glycoproteins. Removal of the detergent led to the formation of vesicles containing the viral glycoprotein and the dodecanethiol-maleimidophenylbutyrate (or pyridyldithiopropionate)-antibody complexes within the same membrane. Reconstituted Sendai virus envelope-bearing antibodies against human erythrocytes were able to fuse with human erythrocytes (as was reflected by reconstituted Sendai virus envelope-induced hemolysis) from which the natural virus receptors were removed by treatment with neuraminidase. Thus, it appears that anti-human erythrocyte antibodies could substitute for the viral binding protein (hemagglutinin/neuraminidase glycoprotein) in mediating functional binding of the virus particles to the cell plasma membranes. Furthermore, from the results of the present work, it may be inferred that in addition to being the viral-binding protein, hemagglutinin/neuraminidase glycoprotein actively participates in the process of virus-cell fusion.  相似文献
