Pseudotypes of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and Moloney murine leukemia virus (MuLV), defined by their resistance to neutralization by anti-VSV antiserum, are released preferentially at early times after infection of MuLV-producing cells with VSV. At later times, after synthesis of MuLV proteins has been inhibited by the VSV infection, neither MuLV virions nor the VSV (MuLV) pseudotypes are made. Infection of MuLV-producing cells with mutants of VSV having temperature-sensitive lesions in either G or M protein does not generate pseudotypes at nonpermissive temperature, indicating that both proteins are needed for pseudotypes to form. Although the pseudotypes resist neutralization by anti-VSV serum, they are inactivated by anti-VSV serum plus complement, and they can be precipitated by rabbit anti-VSV serum plus goat anti-rabbit IgG. These results, coupled with experiments using a temperature-sensitive mutant of VSV G protein grown at partly restrictive temperature, suggest that small numbers of VSV G protein are obligately incorporated into VSV(MuLV) pseudotypes. There appears to be a stringent requirement for recognition of the viral core by homologous envelope components as the nucleating step in the budding process. Only after such a nucleation can the envelope components of the second virus substitute into the membrane of the budding particle.  相似文献

The specific incorporation of cell surface proteins into budding Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) particles was shown by two approaches. In the first, monolayer cultures of Vero or L cells were labeled by lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination and the cells were then infected with VSV. Approximately 2% of the cell surface 1251 radioactivity was incorporated into particles which co-purify with normal, infectious virions by both velocity and equilibrium gradient centrifugation and which are precipitated by antiserum specific for the VSV glycoprotein. Control experiments establish that these 125I-labeled particles are not cell debris or cellular material which aggregate with or adhere to VSV virions. VSV virions contain only a subset of the 10–15 normal 1251-labeled cell surface polypeptides resolved by SDS gel electrophoresis; VSV grown in L cells and Vero cells incorporate different host polypeptides. In a second approach, Vero cells were labeled with 35S-methione, then infected with VSV. Two predominant host polypeptides (molecular weights 110,000 and 20,000) were incorporated into VSV virions. These proteins, like VSV G protein, are exposed to the surface of the virion. They co-migrate with the major incorporated 1251 host polypeptides. These host proteins are present in approximately 10 and 80 copies, respectively, per virion. Specific incorporation of host polypeptides into VSV virions does not require the presence of viral glycoprotein. This was shown by use of a ts VSV mutant defective in maturation of VSV G protein to the cell surface. Budding from infected cells are noninfectious particles which contain all the viral proteins except for G; these particles contain the same proportion and spectrum of 1251-labeled host surface polypeptides as do wild-type virions. These results extend previous conclusions implicating the submembrane viral matrix protein, or the viral nucleocapsid, as being of primary importance in selecting cell surface proteins for incorporation into budding VSV virions.  相似文献

The growth at restrictive temperature of tsO45, a group V (glycoprotein) conditional lethal mutant of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), was demonstrated to result in the production of large numbers of noninfectious viral particles. The infectivity of these tsO45 particles could be enhanced by procedures known to promote membrane fusion. Morphologically and biochemically these particles differed from wild-type VSV by their lack of viral glycoprotein. The other structural proteins of VSV were present and indistinguishable by size and relative proportion from those of virus grown at the permissive temperature. Examination of glycoprotein maturation at the restrictive temperature (39.5 degrees C) in tsO45-infected cells demonstrated the synthesis of normal viral glycoprotein but failed to demonstrate the presence of this glycoprotein in either the cell membrane or the envelope of free virions. The further absence of soluble viral glycoprotein from the supernatants of such cells strongly suggests that viral glycoprotein may not be necessary for the successful budding of VSV.  相似文献

THE processes whereby nucleoprotein core particles of certain animal viruses become enveloped by and bud off from host cell membranes can be studied by preparing membrane1,2 or “sedimentable”3 fractions from infected cells and examining them for the presence of virus proteins. We find that similar experiments designed to monitor assembly of vesicular stoma-titus virus (VSV) at sites along the plasma membranes of HeLa cells are best interpreted after first investigating the possibility that virus proteins adsorb to plasma membranes during cell fractionation and membrane isolation. In this report, we show that at 0° C the membrane protein of VSV, among other virus proteins, adsorbs to plasma membranes isolated from uninfected HeLa cells. With appropriate pulse-chase experiments, however, we are able to demonstrate the progressive association, in vivo, of VSV core protein with plasma membranes of infected HeLa cells.  相似文献

We describe a procedure that enriches for temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), Indiana serotype, which are conditionally defective in the biosynthesis of the viral glycoprotein. The selection procedure depends on the rescue of pseudotypes of known ts VSV mutants in complementation group V (corresponding to the viral G protein) by growth at 39.5 degrees C in cells preinfected with the avian retrovirus Rous-associated virus 1 (RAV-1). Seventeen nonleaky ts mutants were isolated from mutagenized stocks of VSV. Eight induced no synthesis of VSV proteins at the nonpermissive temperature and hence were not studied further. Four mutants belonged to complementation group V and resembled other ts (V) mutations in their thermolability, production at 39.5 degrees C of noninfectious particles specifically deficient in VSV G protein, synthesis at 39.5 degrees C of normal levels of viral RNA and protein, and ability to be rescued at 39.5 degrees C by preinfection of cells by avian retroviruses. Five new ts mutants were, unexpectedly, in complementation group IV, the putative structural gene for the viral nucleocapsid (N) protein. At 39.5 degrees C these mutants also induced formation of noninfectious particles relatively deficient in G protein, and production of infectious virus at 39.5 degrees C was also enhanced by preinfection with RAV-1, although not to the same extent as in the case of the group V mutants. We believe that the primary effect of the ts mutation is a reduced synthesis of the nucleocapsid and thus an inhibition of synthesis of all viral proteins; apparently, the accumulation of G protein at the surface is not sufficient to envelope all the viral nucleocapsids, or the mutation in the nucleocapsid prevents proper assembly of G into virions. The selection procedure, based on pseudotype formation with glycoproteins encoded by an unrelated virus, has potential use for the isolation of new glycoprotein mutants of diverse groups of enveloped viruses.  相似文献

A mutant (MO-5) resistant to monensin (an ionophoric antibiotic) derived from the mouse Balb/3T3 cell line, was a poor host for vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) or semliki forest virus (SFV) multiplication. The yield of VSV particles in MO-5 is one 100-fold reduced as is VSV-dependent RNA synthesis. In contrast to a pH-remedial mutant, the abortive production of infectious VSV particles in MO-5 cells was not restored by low pH treatment. The pH values in the endosome and the lysosome of MO-5 cells were 5.2 and 5.4, respectively, values that were comparable to the pH value in Balb/3T3 cells. Assays with [3H]uridine-labeled VSV indicated similar binding of VSV in MO-5: percoll gradient centrifugation analysis of [35S]methionine-labeled VSV-infected Balb/3T3 showed accumulation of VSV in the lysosome fraction 20 min after VSV infection, whereas VSV can be found mainly in endosome/Golgi fraction of MO-5 cells after 40 to 60 min on the percoll gradients. Degradation of [35S]methionine-labeled VSV was observed at a significant rate in Balb/3T3 cells, but not in MO-5 cells. The monensin-resistant somatic cell may thus provide a genetic route to study the mechanism of endocytosis or transport of enveloped viruses.  相似文献

The complete primary structure of the coat protein of strain VRU of alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is reported. The strain is morphologically different from all other AMV strains as it contains large amounts of unusually long virus particles. This is caused by structural differences in the coat protein chain. The amino acid sequence has mainly been established by the characterization of peptides obtained after cleavage with cyanogen bromide and digestion with trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin or Staphylococcus aureus protease. The major sequencing technique used was the dansyl-Edman procedure. The VRU coat protein consists of 219 amino acid residues corresponding to a molecular weight of 24056. Compared to the coat protein of strain 425 [Van Beynum et al. (1977) Eur. J. Biochem. 72, 63-78], 15 amino acid substitutions were localized. Most of them have a conservative character and may be explained by single-point mutations. A correction is given for the AMV 425 coat protein: Asn-216 was shown to be Asp-216. The prediction of the secondary structure for the two viral coat proteins was not significantly influenced by the various amino acid substitutions except for the region containing residues 65-100. This led us to the hypothesis that the AMV coat protein may occur in two different conformations favouring its incorporation into either a pentagonal or hexagonal quasi-equivalent position in the lattice of the protein shell. The substitutions in the above-mentioned region of the VRU coat protein may have caused a strong preference for the hexagonal lattice conformation. The model is supported by preliminary sequence data of the same coat protein region in AMV 15/64, a strain morphologically intermediate between 425 and VRU.  相似文献

Phenotypic mixing between Sendai virus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) or the mutant VSV ts045 was studied. Conditions were optimized for double infection, as shown by immunofluorescence microscopy. Virions from double-infected cells were separated by sequential velocity and isopycnic gradient centrifugations. Two types of particles with mixed protein compositions were found. One type was VSV particles with Sendai virus spikes, i.e., phenotypically mixed particles. A second type was Sendai virus-VSV associations, which in plaque assays also behaved as phenotypically mixed particles. The ratio of VSV G protein to Sendai virus glycoproteins on the cell surface was varied, using the VSV mutant ts045 in double infections. Thus, different amounts of the VSV G protein were allowed to reach the cell surface at 32, 38, and 39 degrees C in Sendai virus-infected cells. However, a fixed number of Sendai virus spikes was always found in the ts045 virions. This represented 12 to 16% of the number of G proteins present in normal VSV. Furthermore, the yield of ts045 virions was radically reduced during double infection when the temperature was raised to block G-protein transport to the cell surface, suggesting that the Sendai virus glycoproteins were not able to compensate for G protein in budding. These results emphasize the role of the G protein in VSV assembly.  相似文献

Microbial pathogens exploit the clathrin endocytic machinery to enter host cells. Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), an enveloped virus with bullet-shaped virions that measure 70 x 200 nm, enters cells by clathrin-dependent endocytosis. We showed previously that VSV particles exceed the capacity of typical clathrin-coated vesicles and instead enter through endocytic carriers that acquire a partial clathrin coat and require local actin filament assembly to complete vesicle budding and internalization. To understand why the actin system is required for VSV uptake, we compared the internalization mechanisms of VSV and its shorter (75 nm long) defective interfering particle, DI-T. By imaging the uptake of individual particles into live cells, we found that, as with parental virions, DI-T enters via the clathrin endocytic pathway. Unlike VSV, DI-T internalization occurs through complete clathrin-coated vesicles and does not require actin polymerization. Since VSV and DI-T particles display similar surface densities of the same attachment glycoprotein, we conclude that the physical properties of the particle dictate whether a virus-containing clathrin pit engages the actin system. We suggest that the elongated shape of a VSV particle prevents full enclosure by the clathrin coat and that stalling of coat assembly triggers recruitment of the actin machinery to finish the internalization process. Since some enveloped viruses have pleomorphic particle shapes and sizes, our work suggests that they may use altered modes of endocytic uptake. More generally, our findings show the importance of cargo geometry for specifying cellular entry modes, even when the receptor recognition properties of a ligand are maintained.  相似文献

The glycoprotein (G) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) binds 1–2 moles of fatty acid per mole of protein. The fatty acids cannot be released by repeated extractions of the protein with organic solvents, nor can they be released by denaturing the protein with ionic or nonionic detergents. Pronase digestion of G yields an organic extractable fragment that contains bound fatty acid. The fatty acid is quantitatively released from this fragment and from intact G by mild alkali treatment in methanol and is identified by gas-liquid and thin-layer chromatography as, predominantly, the methyl ester of palmitic acid. Insignificant amounts of phosphate are found in G, thus ruling out the presence of bound phospholipid. Chicken embryo fibroblast pre-labeled with 3H-palmitate and then infected with VSV for 4 hr show the presence of 3H label in G but not in other viral structural proteins. The 3H label is present only in the fatty acid moiety of the protein. Much smaller amounts of 3H fatty acid are bound to G protein formed by the VSV mutant ts045 grown at the nonpermissive temperature, and no 3H fatty acid is bound to G synthesized at 37°C in cells pretreated with tunicamycin, an inhibitor of glycosylation. However, infection with the VSV-Orsay strain at 30°C in the presence of tunicamycin allows for production of VSV particles with nonglycosylated G (Gibson, Schlesinger and Kornfeld, 1979), and this G has the same proportion of the fatty acid as does the normal glycosylated G. These data indicate that fatty acids become covalently attached to the G polypeptide chain during maturation of the protein—perhaps as the glycoprotein moves to the cell's plasma membrane.  相似文献

Synopsis Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) and alphalpha mosaic virus (AMV) were used as immuno-electron microscopical markers to detect cell surface receptors on mononuclear cells in freeze-etch replicas. TYMV particles were conjugated with vacuum-distilled glutaraldehyde to rabbit IgG anti-mouse immunoglobulins (TYMV-RAMIg conjugate) or to rabbit IgG anti-mouse antigen (TYMV-RAMTh conjugate). B-lymphocytes incubated with TYMV-RAMIg conjugate showed either randomly distributed particles or patches of virus particles on the etched surface of the cell membrane. Mouse thymocytes incubated with TYMV-RAMTh conjugate, however, showed only a random distribution of the virus particles. Human mononuclear cells incubated with rabbit IgG anti-AMV and AMV for the demonstration of the receptors for the Fc fragment of IgG showed the oblong shape of the AMV particles on the etched cell membrane. Fc receptors were either randomly distributed or aggregrated into patches. It is concluded that both types of virus particles are useful markers for the demonstration of membrane receptors in freeze-etch replicas of labelled cells.  相似文献

An unusual and distinguishing feature of alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) and ilarviruses such as tobacco streak virus (TSV) is that the viral coat protein is required to activate the early stages of viral RNA replication, a phenomenon known as genome activation. AMV-TSV coat protein homology is limited; however, they are functionally interchangeable in activating virus replication. For example, TSV coat protein will activate AMV RNA replication and vice versa. Although AMV and TSV coat proteins have little obvious amino acid homology, we recently reported that they share an N-terminal RNA binding consensus sequence (Ansel-McKinney et al., EMBO J. 15:5077–5084, 1996). Here, we biochemically compare the binding of chemically synthesized peptides that include the consensus RNA binding sequence and lysine-rich (AMV) or arginine-rich (TSV) environment to 3′-terminal TSV and AMV RNA fragments. The arginine-rich TSV coat protein peptide binds viral RNA with lower affinity than the lysine-rich AMV coat protein peptides; however, the ribose moieties protected from hydroxyl radical attack by the two different peptides are localized in the same area of the predicted RNA structures. When included in an infectious inoculum, both AMV and TSV 3′-terminal RNA fragments inhibited AMV RNA replication, while variant RNAs unable to bind coat protein did not affect replication significantly. The data suggest that RNA binding and genome activation functions may reside in the consensus RNA binding sequence that is apparently unique to AMV and ilarvirus coat proteins.  相似文献

Incorporation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope proteins into vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) particles was studied in a system that allows expressed envelope proteins to rescue phenotypically a temperature-sensitive mutant of VSV (tsO45). This mutant exhibits defective transport of its own envelope glycoprotein (G) and can be rescued by simultaneous expression of wild-type G protein from cDNA. We report here that a hybrid HIV-1-VSV protein containing the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the HIV-1 envelope protein fused to the cytoplasmic domain of VSV G protein was able to rescue the tsO45 mutant lacking the G protein, while the wild-type HIV-1 envelope protein was not. The VSV(HIV) pseudotypes obtained infected only CD4+ cells and were neutralized specifically by anti-HIV-1 sera. Our results indicate that the cytoplasmic tail of the VSV glycoprotein contains an independent signal capable of directing a foreign protein into VSV particles. The VSV(HIV) pseudotypes generated here were prepared in the absence of HIV-1 and should be useful for identifying molecules that block HIV-1 entry.  相似文献

In intact Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell monolayers, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) matures only at basolateral membranes beneath tight junctions, whereas influenza virus buds from apical cell surfaces. Early in the growth cycle, the viral glycoproteins are restricted to the membrane domain from which each virus buds. We report here that phenotypic mixing and formation of VSV pseudotypes occurred when influenza virus-infected MDCK cells were superinfected with VSV. Up to 75% of the infectious VSV particles from such experiments were neutralized by antiserum specific for influenza virus, and a smaller proportion (up to 3%) were resistant to neutralization with antiserum specific for VSV. The latter particles, which were neutralized by antiserum to influenza A/WSN virus, are designated as VSV(WSN) pseudotypes. During mixed infections, both wild-type viruses were detected 1 to 2 h before either phenotypically mixed VSV or VSV(WSN) pseudotypes. Coincident with the appearance of cytopathic effects in the monolayer, the yield of pseudotypes rose dramatically. In contrast, in doubly infected BHK-21 cells, which do not show polarity in virus maturation sites and are not connected by tight junctions, VSV(WSN) pseudotypes were detected as soon as VSV titers rose to the minimum levels which allowed detection of pseudotypes, and the proportion observed remained relatively constant at later times. Examination of thin sections of doubly infected MDCK monolayers revealed that polarity in maturation sites was preserved for both viruses until approximately 12 h after inoculation with influenza virus, when disruption of junctional complexes was evident. Even at later periods, the majority of each virus type was associated with its normal membrane domain, suggesting that the sorting mechanisms responsible for directing the glycoproteins of VSV and influenza virus to separate surface domains continue to operate in doubly infected MDCK cells. The time course of VSV(WSN) pseudotype formation and changes in virus maturation sites are compatible with progressive mixing of viral glycoproteins at either intracellular or plasma membranes of doubly infected cells.  相似文献

The apparent molecular weights for glycoproteins of four RNA enveloped viruses — influenza virus, NDV, VSV and AMV, calculated relative to protein standards depend upon the percent of acrylamide used. Such anomaly is not observed for other proteins of these viruses. The irregular behaviour of glycoproteins resulted from their lesser capacity to bind SDS.  相似文献

We have investigated the mechanism for the low infectivity of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) released from interferon (IFN) -treated cells. With 10-30 units/ml of IFN there was an approximately 5-30 fold reduction in the production of virus particles, as measured by VSV proteins; however, the infectivity of the VSV released from IFN-treated mouse LB, JLS-V9R, or human GM2504 was drastically reduced (2 to 4 logs). The low infectivity of VSV was directly related to a deficiency in virion glycoprotein (G). IFN treatment did not change the specific infectivity of the VSV particles released by HeLa cells; their G protein was also not reduced. A further effect of IFN to reduce the amount of virion M protein appeared to be secondary and was probably not related to the reduced infectivity of VSV.  相似文献

In addition to virion formation, the coat protein (CP) of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is involved in the regulation of replication and translation of viral RNAs, and in cell-to-cell and systemic movement of the virus. An intriguing feature of the AMV CP is its nuclear and nucleolar accumulation. Here, we identify an N-terminal lysine-rich nucleolar localization signal (NoLS) in the AMV CP required to both enter the nucleus and accumulate in the nucleolus of infected cells, and a C-terminal leucine-rich domain which might function as a nuclear export signal. Moreover, we demonstrate that AMV CP interacts with importin-α, a component of the classical nuclear import pathway. A mutant AMV RNA 3 unable to target the nucleolus exhibited reduced plus-strand RNA synthesis and cell-to-cell spread. Moreover, virion formation and systemic movement were completely abolished in plants infected with this mutant. In vitro analysis demonstrated that specific lysine residues within the NoLS are also involved in modulating CP-RNA binding and CP dimerization, suggesting that the NoLS represents a multifunctional domain within the AMV CP. The observation that nuclear and nucleolar import signals mask RNA-binding properties of AMV CP, essential for viral replication and translation, supports a model in which viral expression is carefully modulated by a cytoplasmic/nuclear balance of CP accumulation.  相似文献

From an analysis of electron micrographs of Alfalfa Mosaic Virus (AMV), evidence has been obtained which favors a cylindrical P6 lattice for the protein coat of the virus. For the analysis use was made of optical diffraction and computer processing of electron images of negatively stained virus particles. The virus coat exhibits polymorphism. Two kinds of structure were found: a stacked and a helical type. In the stacked type of lattice the unit cells are arranged in staggered rings in such a way that two rings comprise a repeat distance of the structure. The selection rule for the optical diffraction patterns of the stacked form is 1 = n + 2m, in which n is an integer multiple of 3. The layerlines are equally spaced at a distance of approximately 1/80 Å?1. In the helical type of lattice these rings of unit cells are transformed into turns of a double helix. The selection rule derived in this case is 1 = 6n ? 17m, in which n is an integer multiple of 2. The repeat of the structure is approximately 440 Å.  相似文献

We describe an assay procedure to quantitate relative DI resistance of a variety of DI particle resistant (Sdi?) mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). We show that numerous diverse Sdi? mutants of VSV are selected continuously in a stepwise manner during persistent infections, and also during serial undiluted lytic passages initiated with cloned virus. Concurrently with the successive appearance and disappearance of different Sdi? mutants of infectious VSV, new DI particle types with altered interference properites also appear and disappear, resulting in rapid “coevolution” of virus and DI particle populations. Complementation tests with Sdi? mutants indicate that mutations in at least two different virus factors (presumably associated with replication-encapsidation) can give rise to Sdi? mutants. Interference studies with chimeric DI particles indicate that DI particle template RNA rather than DI particle protein determines the interference properties of DI particles interacting with Sdi? and Sdi+ mutants of helper virus.  相似文献
