Herpesviruses encode an unusual protein-serine/threonine kinase which is nonessential for growth in cultured cells.

We have performed large-scale random oligonucleotide insertion mutagenesis on a 41-kbp genomic segment derived from the unique long (UL) region of the alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV). This procedure has resulted in the generation of a series of PRV strains, each carrying a single gene whose termination of translation is induced by the inserted oligonucleotide. To relate the genes that were involved in the mutagenization to genes previously identified in herpes simplex virus type 1, the prototype alphaherpesvirus, we have performed cross-hybridization studies. In this way, we have mapped the location of the homolog of a gene which was described to have sequence characteristics of a eukaryotic phosphotransferase. We characterized the phenotype of a mutant PRV strain lacking this putative phosphotransferase also the phenotype of a PRV strain lacking, in addition to the UL-encoded putative phosphotransferase, the protein kinase encoded within the unique short region of the virus. To assess the enzymatic activity of the UL region-encoded phosphotransferase, we expressed the gene transiently in a eukaryotic expression system. Immunoprecipitation of the protein followed by kinase assays and phosphoamino acid analyses revealed protein-serine/threonine kinase activity. Implications of sequence divergence of this protein from classical protein-serine/threonine kinases for kinase structure and function are discussed in view of the recent resolution of the structure of the catalytic domain of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.     

The pseudorabies virus homology of the herpes simplex virus UL21 gene product is a capsid protein which is involved in capsid maturation.

We mutagenized, mapped, and sequenced the pseudorabies virus (PRV) homology of gene UL21 of herpes simplex virus type 1. A polyclonal mouse antiserum against the protein encoded by the UL21 homolog was generated and used to monitor the expression and subcellular localization of the UL21-encoded protein. We found that the protein is identical to a previously detected PRV capsid protein. We analyzed viable PRV strains encoding mutant UL21 homologys, truncated by insertion of an oligonucleotide that contains stop codons in all reading frames. In two PRV mutants carrying the oligonucleotide at two sites within the gene, processing of newly replicated viral DNA was impaired. In addition, we show that one of the UL21 mutants has strongly reduced virulence for mice.     

Identification of nuclear and nucleolar localization signals of pseudorabies virus (PRV) early protein UL54 reveals that its nuclear targeting is required for efficient production of PRV

The pseudorabies virus (PRV) early protein UL54 is a homologue of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) immediate-early protein ICP27, which is a multifunctional protein that is essential for HSV-1 infection. In this study, the subcellular localization and nuclear import signals of PRV UL54 were characterized. UL54 was shown to predominantly localize to the nucleolus in transfected cells. By constructing a series of mutants, a functional nuclear localization signal (NLS) and a genuine nucleolar localization signal (NoLS) of UL54 were for the first time identified and mapped to amino acids (61)RQRRR(65) and (45)RRRRGGRGGRAAR(57), respectively. Additionally, three recombinant viruses with mutations of the NLS and/or the NoLS in UL54 were constructed based on PRV bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) pBecker2 to test the effect of UL54 nuclear targeting on viral replication. In comparison with the wild-type virus, a recombinant virus harboring an NLS or NoLS mutation of UL54 reduced viral production to different extents. However, mutations of both the NLS and NoLS targeted UL54 to the cytoplasm in recombinant virus-infected cells and significantly impaired viral replication, comparable to the UL54-null virus. In addition, a virus lacking the NLS or the NoLS displayed modest defects in viral gene expression and DNA synthesis. However, deletion of both the NLS and the NoLS resulted in severe defects in viral gene expression and DNA synthesis, as well as production of infectious progeny. Thus, we have identified a classical NLS and a genuine NoLS in UL54 and demonstrate that the nuclear targeting of UL54 is required for efficient production of PRV.     

Cloning, sequencing, and functional characterization of the two subunits of the pseudorabies virus DNA polymerase holoenzyme: evidence for specificity of interaction.

The pseudorabies virus (PRV) genes encoding the two subunits of the DNA polymerase were located on the genome by hybridization to their herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) homologs, pol and UL42, and subsequently were sequenced. Like the HSV-1 homologs, in vitro translation products of the PRV gene encoding the catalytic subunit (pol) possessed activity in the absence of the Pol accessory protein (PAP). However, the PRV PAP stimulated the activity of Pol fourfold in the presence of 150 mM KCl, using an activated calf thymus DNA template. The stimulation of Pol activity by PAP under high-salt conditions and the inhibition of Pol activity by PAP when assayed in low salt (0 mM KCl) together were used to determine the specificity with which PAP interacted with Pol. Despite functional similarity, HSV-1 UL42 and PRV PAP could neither stimulate the noncognate Pols at high salt nor inhibit them at low salt. Furthermore, a PRV Pol mutant lacking the 30 C-terminal amino acids retained basal Pol activity but could be neither stimulated nor inhibited by the PRV PAP. Sequence comparisons of the Pol proteins of the alphaherpesviruses reveal a conserved domain in the C terminus which terminates immediately before the last 41 residues of both PRV and HSV-1 proteins. These results indicate that the ability and specificity for interaction of the PRV Pol with PAP most likely resides predominantly in the extreme Pol C terminus.     

Molecular Characterization of the Duck Enteritis Virus UL4 Gene

Duck enteritis virus (DEV) is a herpesvirus that causes an acute, contagious and fatal disease. In the present article, the DEV UL4 gene was cloned and sequenced from a vaccine virus. A degenerate oligonucleotide primer for the consensus site of herpesvirus UL3 gene and a specific primer located in UL5 were used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a DNA product 2 086 bp in size. DNA sequence analysis revealed that a 714 bp open reading frame (ORF) of DEV encoding a 237 amino acid polypeptide is homologous to the family of herpesvirus UL4 proteins and therefore has been characterized as a DEV UL4 gene. Alignment of the DEV UL4 protein sequence with those of other alphaherpesviruses showed that 10 amino acid residues are completely conserved. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the seventeen alphaherpesviruses viruses analyzed were classified into four large groups, and the duck enteritis virus branched separately, closely related to the Mardiviruses group comprising Gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), Gallid herpesvirus 3 (GaHV-3) and Meleagrid herpesvirus 1 (MeHV-1). The present study showed that the evolutionary relationship of the UL4 protein could be used for classification of alphaherpesviruses.     

伪狂犬病病毒基因编码区碱基组成与密码子使用偏差

由于伪狂犬病病毒(PRV)中G C含量高达74％,至今尚没有一个毒株完成全基因组测序。对已知的68个PRV基因编码区序列碱基组成及密码子使用现象进行了统计分析,结果发现PRV基因中存在非常强的密码子使用偏差。所有68个PRV基因编码区密码子第三位总的G C含量为96．24％,其中UL48基因高达99．52％。PRV基因偏向于使用富含GC的密码子,特别是以C或G结尾的密码子。此外,还发现PRV中G C含量变化较大的UL48、UL40、UL14和IE180等基因附近正好与已知的PRV基因组复制起始区相对应。根据基因功能将PRV基因分为6类进行分析发现,基因功能相同或相近的基因其密码子使用模式相似,其中调节基因的同义密码子相对使用度(RSCU)与其他基因有显著差异,在调节基因中以C结尾的密码子的RSCU值远大于其他同义密码子。最后,对PRV基因氨基酸组成差异进行多元分析,发现不同功能的PRV基因在对应分析图上分布不同,表明PRV基因密码子使用模式可能与基因功能相关。

The pseudorabies virus gII gene is closely related to the gB glycoprotein gene of herpes simplex virus.

We have looked for conserved DNA sequences between four herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein genes encoding gB, gC, gD, and gE and pseudorabies virus (PRV) DNA, HSV-1 DNA fragments representing these four glycoprotein-coding sequences were hybridized to restriction enzyme fragments of PRV DNA by the Southern blot procedure. Specific hybridization was observed only when HSV-1 gB DNA was used as probe. This region of hybridization was localized to a 5.2-kilobase (kb) region mapping at approximately 0.15 map units on the PRV genome. Northern blot (RNA blot) analysis, with a 1.2-kb probe derived from this segment, revealed a predominant hybridizing RNA species of approximately 3 kb in PRV-infected PK15 cells. DNA sequence analysis of the region corresponding to this RNA revealed a single large open reading frame with significant nucleotide homology with the gB gene of HSV-1 KOS 321. In addition, the beginning of the sequenced PRV region also contained the end of an open reading frame with amino acid homology to HSV-1 ICP 18.5, a protein that may be involved in viral glycoprotein transport. This sequence partially overlaps the PRV gB homolog coding sequence. We have shown that the PRV gene with homology to HSV-1 gB encoded the gII glycoprotein gene by expressing a 765-base-pair segment of the PRV open reading frame in Escherichia coli as a protein fused to beta-galactosidase. Antiserum, raised in rabbits, against this fusion protein immunoprecipitated a specific family of PRV glycoproteins of apparent molecular mass 110, 68, and 55 kilodaltons that have been identified as the gII family of glycoproteins. Analysis of the predicted amino acid sequence indicated that the PRV gII protein shares 50% amino acid homology with the aligned HSV-1 gB protein. All 10 cysteine residues located outside of the signal sequence, as well as 4 of 6 potential N-linked glycosylation sites, were conserved between the two proteins. The primary protein sequence for HSV-1 gB regions known to be involved in the rate of virus entry into the cells and cell-cell fusion, as well as regions known to be associated with monoclonal antibody resistance, were highly homologous with the PRV protein sequence. Furthermore, monospecific antibody made against PRV gII immunoprecipitated HSV-1 gB from infected cells. Taken together, these findings suggest significant conservation of structure and function between the two proteins and may indicate a common evolutionary history.
