Mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus blocked at different stages in maturation of the viral glycoprotein 总被引:49,自引:0,他引:49
Maturation of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) glycoprotein (G) to the cell surface is blocked at the nonpermissive temperature in cells infected with temperature-sensitive mutants in the structural gene encoding for G. We show here that these mutants fall into two discrete classes with respect to the stage of post-translational processing at which the block occurs. In all cases the mutant glycoproteins are inserted normally into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, receive the two-high-mannose oligosaccharides, and apparently lose the NH2-terminal signal sequence of 16 amino acids. In cells infected with one class of mutants, no further processing of the glycoprotein occurs, and we conclude that the mutant protein is blocked at a pre-Golgi stage. In cells infected with ts L511(V), however, addition of the terminal sugars galactose and sialic acid occurs normally. Thus the maturation of G proceeds through several Golgi functions but is blocked before its appearance on the cell surface. The oligosaccharide chain of ts L511(V) G, accumulated at either the permissive (where surface maturation occurs) or the nonpermissive temperature, lacks one saccharide residue, probably fucose. In addition, no fatty acid residues are added to the ts L511(V) G protein at the nonpermissive temperature, although addition does occur under permissive conditions. 相似文献

Nine temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 selected for their inability to render cells susceptible to immune cytolysis after infection at the nonpermissive temperature have been characterized genetically and phenotypically. The mutations in four mutants were mapped physically by marker rescue and assigned to functional groups by complementation analysis. In an effort to determine the molecular basis for cytolysis resistance, cells infected with each of the nine mutants were monitored for the synthesis of viral glycoprotein in total cell extracts and for the presence of these glycoproteins in plasma membranes. The four mutants whose ts mutations were mapped were selected with polypeptide-specific antiserum to glycoproteins gA and gB; however, three of the four mutations mapped to DNA sequences outside the limits of the structural gene specifying these glycoproteins. Combined complementation and phenotypic analysis indicates that the fourth mutation also lies elsewhere. The ts mutations in five additional cytolysis-resistant mutants could not be rescued with single cloned DNA fragments representing the entire herpes simplex virus type 1 genome, suggesting that these mutants may possess multiple mutations. Complementation tests with the four mutants whose ts lesions had been mapped physically demonstrated that each represents a new viral gene. Examination of mutant-infected cells at the nonpermissive temperature for the presence of viral glycoproteins in total cell extracts and in membranes at the cell surface demonstrated that (i) none of the five major viral glycoproteins was detected in extracts of cells infected with one mutant, suggesting that this mutant is defective in a very early function; (ii) cells infected with six of the nine mutants exhibited greatly reduced levels of all the major viral glycoproteins at the infected cell surface, indicating that these mutants possess defects in the synthesis or processing of viral glycoproteins; and (iii) in cells infected with one mutant, all viral glycoproteins were precipitable at the surface of the infected cell, despite the resistance of these cells to cytolysis. This mutant is most likely mutated in a gene affecting a late stage in glycoprotein processing, leading to altered presentation of glycoproteins at the plasma membrane. The finding that the synthesis of both gB and gC was affected coordinately in cells infected with six of the nine mutants suggests that synthesis of these two glycoproteins, their transport to the cell surface, or their insertion into plasma membranes is coordinately regulated. 相似文献

We have investigated virus-lymphocyte interactions by using cloned subpopulations of interleukin-2-dependent effector lymphocytes maintained in vitro. Cloned lines of H-2-restricted hapten- or virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and alloantigen-specific CTL were resistant to productive infection by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). In contrast, cloned lines of natural killer (NK) cells were readily and persistently infected by VSV, a virus which is normally highly cytolytic. VSV-infected NK cells continued to proliferate, express viral surface antigen, and produce infectious virus. Furthermore, persistently infected NK cells showed no marked alteration of normal cellular morphology and continued to lyse NK-sensitive target cells albeit at a slightly but significantly reduced level. The persistence of VSV in NK cells did not appear to be caused by the generation of temperature-sensitive viral mutants, defective interfering particles, or interferon. Consequently, studies comparing the intracellular synthesis and maturation of VSV proteins in infected NK and mouse L cells were conducted. In contrast to L cells, in which host cell protein synthesis was essentially totally inhibited by infection, the infection of NK cells caused no marked diminution in the synthesis of host cell proteins. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates of viral proteins from infected cells showed that the maturation rate and size of VSV surface G glycoprotein were comparable in L cells and NK cells. Nucleocapsid (N) protein synthesis also appeared to be unaffected in NK cells. In contrast, the viral proteins NS and M appeared to be selectively degraded in NK cell extracts. Mixing experiments suggested that a protease in NK cells was responsible for the selective breakdown of VSV NS protein. Finally, VSV-infected NK cells were resistant to lysis by virus-specific CTL, suggesting that persistently infected NK cells may harbor virus and avoid cell-mediated immune destruction in an immunocompetent host. 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

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) generated in mice against a particular serotype of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) were previously shown to cross-reactively lyse syngeneic target cells infected with serologically distinct types of VSV. To analyze the antigenic basis of this T cell cross-reactivity, we generated CTL against VSV-Indiana (VSV-Ind) and established them by limiting dilution as cloned in vitro cell lines. The cells continuously proliferate in medium containing concanavalin A-induced T cell growth factors. All of the cells are Thy-1.2+ and Lyt-2.2+. Lysis by these cells is H-2Dd-restricted, no natural killer cell activity is detectable, and all the clones cross-reactively lyse target cells infected with either VSV-Ind or VSV-New Jersey (VSV-NJ). In addition, no specific blocking of primary, secondary, or cloned anti-VSV CTL was achieved with the use of several monoclonal antibodies specific for the glycoprotein of VSV and capable of neutralizing either VSV-Ind or VSV-NJ. These results suggest that VSV serotype-specific neutralizing antibodies may recognize immunodominant determinants of VSV glycoprotein that are distinct from those recognized by the majority of VSV-specific CTL. 相似文献

A fluorescence photobleaching study of vesicular stomatitis virus infected BHK cells. Modulation of G protein mobility by M protein 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The mobility of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein on the surface of infected BHK cells was studied by using the technique of fluorescence photobleaching recovery. The fraction of surface G protein that was mobile in that time scale of the measurement (minutes) was at least 75%, a relatively high value among cell surface proteins so far observed. For studies of the effect of an internal viral protein (M protein) on G protein mobility, cells infected with wild-type VSV were compared with those infected with temperature-sensitive VSV mutants of complementation group III, which contains lesions in the M protein. At the permissive temperature, a pronounced decrease in the mobile fraction of surface G was observed for each of three mutants studied, while mobility of surface G at the nonpermissive temperature was indistinguishable in mutant and wild-type infected cells. A significantly lower mobile fraction of G protein was also observed in SV40 transformed 3T3 cells infected with wild-type VSV, but not in 3T3 or chick embryo fibroblast cells similarly infected. None of the variables tested had a measurable effect on the lateral diffusion coefficient of the mobile G protein. These results are interpreted as modulation of the mobility of a specific cell surface protein by a specific intracellular protein. 相似文献

We have analyzed the distribution of enveloped viral infections in multinucleated L6 muscle cells. A temperature-sensitive vesicular stomatitis virus (mutant VSV ts045) was utilized at the nonpermissive temperature (39 degrees C). As expected, the glycoprotein (G protein) of this mutant was restricted to the ER when the multinucleated cells were maintained at 39 degrees C. We demonstrate that this G protein remained localized when the infection was performed at low dose. By 4 h after infection the G protein patches spanned an average of 220 microns. The localization was independent of nuclear positions, showing that the ER was a peripheric structure. Thus, the infection did not recognize nuclear domains characteristic of nuclearly encoded proteins. After release of the 39 degrees C block, transport through a perinuclear compartment into a restricted surface domain lying above the internal G protein patch occurred. Accordingly, the transport pathway was locally restricted. After a 16-h infection the G protein spanned 420 microns, while the matrix protein occupied 700-800 microns of the myotube length. Double infection of multinucleated L6 muscle cells with Semliki Forest virus and VSV at high multiplicities showed that the glycoprotein of each virus occupied intracellular domains which were devoid of the other respective glycoprotein. Taken together, these findings indicate that the viral glycoproteins did not range far from their site of synthesis within the ER or other intracellular membrane compartments in these large cells. This result also suggests that relocation of viral RNA synthesis occurred slowly. 相似文献

We have analyzed the requirement for the expression of the major surface glycoprotein (G protein) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) on target cells for recognition and lysis by anti-VSV cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). In addition, we have attempted to determine if the carbohydrate moieties on the G protein are required for recognition and lysis by anti-VSV CTL. When VSV (Orsay) is grown at 30 degrees C in the presence of tunicamycin (TM), glycosylation of G protein is inhibited; however, nonglycosylated G protein is found on the surface of the cell and active virus particles are produced. In contrast, VSV (Orsay) grown at 39 degrees C in the presence of TM produces low titers of virus and the presence of G protein on the surface of cells is not detectable. The susceptibility of these target cells to lysis by anti-VSV CTL was analyzed. The results suggest that expression of the G protein is required for target cell lysis by anti-VSV CTL. However, the presence of the carbohydrate moieties on the G protein are nt an absolute requirement for recognition by anti-VSV CTL. VSV-infected target cells incubated in the presence of TM were lysed by anti-VSV CTL up to 50 to 80% of the infected target cell control. This result suggests either that some clones of anti-VSV CTL recognize carbohydrate moieties or that carbohydrate moieties play some as yet undefined nonantigenic role in the recognition of the target antigen by the CTL receptor. 相似文献

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are unique T lymphocytes that recognize CD1d-bound lipid antigens and play an important role in both innate and acquired immune responses against infectious diseases and tumors. We have already shown that a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection results in the rapid inhibition of murine CD1d-mediated antigen presentation to NKT cells. In the present study, it was found that the VSV matrix (VSV-M) protein is an important element in this decrease in antigen presentation postinfection. The VSV-M protein altered the intracellular distribution of murine CD1d molecules, resulting in qualitative (but not quantitative) changes in cell surface CD1d expression. The M protein was distributed throughout the infected cell, and it was found to activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 very early postinfection. Infection of CD1d+ cells with a temperature-sensitive VSV-M mutant at the nonpermissive temperature both substantially reversed the inhibition of antigen presentation by CD1d and delayed the activation of p38. Thus, the VSV-M protein plays an important role in permitting the virus to evade important components of the innate immune response by regulating specific MAPK pathways. 相似文献

The cellular mutant B812 isolated from a Fisher rat cell line shows temperature sensitivity of focus formation induced by various retroviruses such as recombinant murine retrovirus containing the middle T gene of polyomavirus (PyMLV), Kirsten murine sarcoma virus, Moloney murine sarcoma virus, and recombinant murine retrovirus containing the src gene of Rous sarcoma virus. B812 cells, however, show normal ability to proliferate and synthesize protein at the nonpermissive temperature, suggesting that their mutation is in a gene specifically concerned with the process of transformation by retroviruses. In this work, experiments with hybrids of mutant and wild-type cells showed that the temperature-dependent defect of this mutant was complemented by wild-type cells. To determine the step of transformation that is restricted at the nonpermissive temperature in B812, we examined the expressions of the oncogene (middle T antigen) in no. 7 (wild-type cells) and B812 cultures infected with PyMLV (the chimeric retrovirus containing the middle T gene of polyomavirus) at the permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. Middle T-associated protein kinase activity, the expression of middle T antigen, and PyMLV-specific mRNA were reduced at the nonpermissive temperature in B812 cultures infected with PyMLV. However, integration of PyMLV into the chromosomal DNA of the mutant was not affected at the nonpermissive temperature. These results suggest that B812 cells have a mutation affecting the expression of viral mRNAs from integrated proviral DNA at the nonpermissive temperature. 相似文献

A temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), tsG31, produces a prolonged central nervous system disease in mice with pathological features similar to those of slow viral diseases. tsG31 and the subsequent virus recovered from the central nervous system (tsG31BP) of mice infected with tsG31 were compared with the parental wild-type (WT) VSV for plaque morphology, growth kinetics, thermal sensitivity of the virions, and viral protein synthesis and maturation. Several properties of the central nervous system isolate distinguished this virus from the original tsG31 and the WT VSV. The WT VSV produced clear plaques with complete cell lysis, and the tsG31 produced diffuse plaques and incomplete cell lysis, whereas the tsG31BP had clear plaques similar to those of the WT VSV. Although plaque morphology suggested that tsG31BP virus was a revertant to the WT, growth kinetics in either BHK-21 or neuroblastoma (N-18) cells indicated that this virus was similar to tsG31, with a productive cycle at 31 degrees C and no infectious virus at 39 degrees C. At 37 degrees C, however, the tsG31BP matured much slower than did the original tsG31 (and produced only 1% of the yield measured at 31 degrees C). WT VSV produced similar quantities of infectious virions at 31, 37, and 39 degrees C. The lack of infectious virions at 39 degrees C for the ts mutants was presumably not due to a greater rate of inactivation at 39 degrees C. Unlike WT VSV, which synthesized viral proteins equally well at all three temperatures, tsG31 had a reduced synthesis of all the structural proteins at 37 and 39 degrees C, compared with that at 31 degrees C; the formation of the M protein was most temperature sensitive. In addition, fractionation of the infected cells indicated that the incorporation of the M and N proteins into the cellular membranes was also disrupted at the higher, nonpermissive temperatures. Several characteristics of protein synthesis during tsG31BP infection at 39 degrees C distinguished this virus from tsG31: (i) no mature viral proteins were detected at 39 degrees C; (ii) several host proteins were [ill], suggesting that the virus was incapable of completely depressing host macromolecular synthesis; and (iii) a great proportion of the incorporated radioactivity was found in unusually high-molecular-weight proteins. In addition, at 37 degrees C, the tsG31BP virus showed a decreased synthesis of viral proteins and reduced assembly of the viral structural proteins. 相似文献

We have evaluated the efficacy of mitogen (LPS/DxSO4)-activated B cells (B lymphoblasts) to function as antigen-presenting cells (APC) for vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Our studies revealed that B lymphoblasts induced potent cytotoxic thymus (T)-derived lymphocyte (CTL) activity in VSV-immune splenic T cells depleted of adherent accessory cells. Dose-response curves indicated that B lymphoblasts were approximately 15-20 times more efficient APC than spleen cells for CTL induction against VSV. There was little evidence of reprocessing of viral antigens by the responder population because only CTL activity restricted to the parental haplotype of the B lymphoblast was generated following stimulation of VSV-immune F1 T cells. B lymphoblasts activated VSV-specific memory CTL which expressed the Lyt-1-23+, AsGM1+ phenotype without activating natural killer and/or lymphokine-activated killer cells. The ability of B lymphoblasts to function as efficient APC was not related to enhanced viral replication in these cells because potent VSV-specific proliferative and class I-restricted CTL responses were induced by B lymphoblasts infected with VSV rendered noninfectious by exposure to ultraviolet (uv) light. This indicates that activated B cells can efficiently process and present input virion protein. Purified splenic B cells that were not activated by mitogen stimulation did not function as APC for VSV even at high multiplicities of infection. The failure of B cells to function as APC for VSV was related to inefficient uptake of VSV and their inability to provide accessory cell signals required for T-cell proliferation; both these functions developed following mitogen stimulation. These data suggest that activated B cells may function as a potent APC population for virus independent of the specificity of their immunoglobulin antigen receptor. 相似文献

To further explore the localization of the N-deglycosylation involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated quality control system we studied HepG2 cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and its ts045 mutant, as in this system oligosaccharide release can be attributed solely to the VSV glycoprotein (G protein). We utilized the restricted intracellular migration of the mutant protein as well as dithiothreitol (DTT), low temperature, and a castanospermine (CST)-imposed glucosidase blockade to determine in which intracellular compartment deglycosylation takes place. Degradation of the VSV ts045 G protein was considerably greater at the nonpermissive than at the permissive temperature; this was reflected by a substantial increase in polymannose oligosaccharide release. Under both conditions these oligosaccharides were predominantly in the characteristic cytosolic form, which terminates in a single N-acetylglucosamine (OS-GlcNAc(1)); this was also the case in the presence of DTT, which retains the G protein completely in the ER. However when cells infected with the VSV mutant were examined at 15 degrees C or exposed to CST, both of which represent conditions that impair ER-to-cytosol transport, the released oligosaccharides were almost exclusively (> 95%) in the vesicular OS-GlcNAc(2) form; glucosidase blockade had a similar effect on the wild-type virus. Addition of puromycin to glucosidase-inhibited cells resulted in a pronounced reduction (> 90%) in oligosaccharide release, which reflected a comparable impairment in glycoprotein biosynthesis and indicated that the OS-GlcNAc(2) components originated from protein degradation rather than hydrolysis of oligosaccharide lipids. Our findings are consistent with N-deglycosylation of the VSV G protein in the ER and the subsequent transport of the released oligosaccharides to the cytosol where OS-GlcNAc(2) to OS-GlcNAc(1) conversion by an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase takes place. Studies with the ts045 G protein at the nonpermissive temperature permitted us to determine that it can be processed by Golgi endomannosidase although remaining endo H sensitive, supporting the concept that it recycles between the ER and cis-Golgi compartments. 相似文献

BALB/c-H-2dm2 mice (H-2KdI-AdI-EdDd), a congenic strain of BALB/c mice, have a deletion of the class I MHC Ag, H-2Ld. This gene encodes the exclusive class I MHC-restricting gene product for vesicular stomatitis virus-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes. When dm2 mice were immunized with infectious vesicular stomatitis virus, a specific CTL response was generated. These CTL lysed VSV-infected targets that expressed Iad gene products, but not VSV-infected Iad- targets. The CTL were used initially as long term cytolytic lines; 13 CTL clones were derived by limit dilution. All of the clones expressed the phenotype CD3+, CD4+, CD8-; some clones expressed TCR that are members of the V beta 8 family, others did not. The clones were restricted by class II MHC Ag, both I-Ad and I-Ed serving as restricting elements for individual clones of the panel. All of the clones derived from dm2 mice were specific for the immunizing serotype, Indiana, of VSV and did not lyse syngeneic cells infected with VSV of the New Jersey serotype. Studies using defective interfering virus particles, UV light-inactivated virus, and purified micelles of the viral glycoprotein indicated that infectious virus was not required for sensitization of target cells for immune recognition by the class II MHC-restricted CTL clones. Additional studies using recombinant vaccinia virus vectors to sensitize targets confirmed the specificity of the clones for the viral glycoprotein. These studies also demonstrated a cryptic population of class II-restricted CTL in BALB/c lines specific for VSV G. Naturally occurring variant viruses and mutant viruses, selected for escape from neutralization by mAb, were used in an effort to map the determinant(s) recognized; on the basis of patterns of target cell lysis, three groups of epitopes recognized by the clones were defined. Therefore, in the absence of the class I MHC Ag required for a CTL response to VSV, dm2 mice generated CTL with the CD4+ phenotype that recognized different epitopes on the viral glycoprotein, and lysed cells in a class II-MHC restricted, Ag-specific manner. 相似文献

When ts7, a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of influenza B/Kanagawa/73 virus, infected MDCK cells at the nonpermissive temperature (37.5 degrees C), infectious virus was produced at very low levels compared with the yield at the permissive temperature (32 degrees C) and hemagglutinating activity and enzymatic activity of neuraminidase (NA) were negligible. However, viral protein synthesis and transport of hemadsorption-active hemagglutinin to the cell surface were not affected. When the cell lysate was treated with bacterial NA, hemagglutinating activity was recovered but infectivity was not, even after further treatment with trypsin. It was found that ts7 was defective in transport of NA to the cell surface and formation of virus particles. Analysis of the genomes of non-ts recombinants obtained by crossing ts7 and UV-inactivated B/Lee showed that ts7 had the ts mutation only in RNA segment 6 coding for NA and the glycoprotein NB. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the RNA segment revealed that ts7 had four amino acid changes in the NA molecule but not in NB. We suggest that assembly or budding of influenza B virus requires the presence of NA at the plasma membrane, unlike influenza A virus. 相似文献

The soluble viral glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus efficiently sensitizes target cells for lysis by CD4+ T lymphocytes

The soluble glycoprotein Gs of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), at approximately 10(4) molecules per cell, sensitized target cells for lysis by clones of CD4+ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). In addition to lysis, the clones responded by proliferation and interleukin-2 release. Targets sensitized by Gs competed effectively with VSV-infected cells for recognition. Immune cytolysis by these CD4+ CTLs was restricted by class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens and was specific to VSV. The specific class II MHC antigen which was restricting for each clone remained the same whether the targets were sensitized by infection with VSV or by exogenously added soluble antigen. Sensitization by Gs appeared to require prior processing because the antigen-presenting cells that were fixed prior to exposure to Gs failed to be recognized by the CTL clones. The high efficiency of this uptake and processing was suggested by the inability of Gs at concentrations up to 10(7) per cell to block superinfection by VSV or to effect the RNA-synthetic machinery of uninfected cells. Also, Gs failed to hemolyze sheep erythrocytes when there was hemolysis by virions or an amino-terminal peptide of the VSV glycoprotein. Extrapolation of these results to viral diseases was possible because soluble viral glycoproteins were naturally synthesized during many viral infections and class II MHC antigens were inducible in cells of nonlymphoid origin. Therefore, CD4+ CTLs may be important participants in increasing virus-induced pathology, especially among adjacent uninfected cells. 相似文献

The putative envelope glycoproteins of hepatitis C virus (HCV) likely play an important role in the initiation of viral infection. Available information suggests that the genomic regions encoding the putative envelope glycoproteins, when expressed as recombinant proteins in mammalian cells, largely accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum. In this study, genomic regions which include the putative ectodomain of the E1 (amino acids 174 to 359) and E2 (amino acids 371 to 742) glycoproteins were appended to the transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) G protein. This provided a membrane anchor signal and the VSV incorporation signal at the carboxy termini of the E1 and E2 glycoproteins. The chimeric gene constructs exhibited expression of the recombinant proteins on the cell surface in a transient expression assay. When infected with a temperature-sensitive VSV mutant (ts045) and grown at the nonpermissive temperature (40.5°C), cells transiently expressing the E1 or E2 chimeric glycoprotein generated VSV/HCV pseudotyped virus. The resulting pseudotyped virus generated from E1 or E2 surprisingly exhibited the ability to infect mammalian cells and sera derived from chimpanzees immunized with the homologous HCV envelope glycoproteins neutralized pseudotyped virus infectivity. Results from this study suggested a potential functional role for both the E1 and E2 glycoproteins in the infectivity of VSV/HCV pseudotyped virus in mammalian cells. These observations further suggest the importance of using both viral glycoproteins in a candidate subunit vaccine and the potential for using a VSV/HCV pseudotyped virus to determine HCV neutralizing antibodies. 相似文献

Enveloped viruses are excellent tools for the study of the biogenesis of epithelial polarity, because they bud asymmetrically from confluent monolayers of epithelial cells and because polarized budding is preceded by the accumulation of envelope proteins exclusively in the plasma membrane regions from which the viruses bud. In this work, three different experimental approaches showed that the carbohydrate moieties do not determine the final surface localization of either influenza (WSN strain) or vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) envelope proteins in infected Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells, as determined by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy, using ferritin as a marker. Infected concanavalin A- and ricin 1-resistant mutants of MDCK cells, with alterations in glycosylation, exhibited surface distributions of viral glycoproteins identical to those of the parental cell line, i.e., influenza envelope proteins were exclusively found in the apical surface, whereas VSV G protein was localized only in the basolateral region. MDCK cells treated with tunicamycin, which abolishes the glycosylation of viral glycoproteins, exhibited the same distribution of envelope proteins as control cells, after infection with VSF or influenza. A temperature-sensitive mutant of influenza WSN, ts3, which, when grown at the nonpermissive temperature of 39.5 degrees C, retains the sialic acid residues in the envelope glycoproteins, showed, at both 32 degrees C (permissive temperature) and 39.5 degrees C, budding polarity and viral glycoprotein distribution identical to those of the parental WSN strain, when grown in MDCK cells. These results demonstrate that carbohydrate moieties are not components of the addressing signals that determine the polarized distribution of viral envelope proteins, and possibly of the intrinsic cellular plasma membrane proteins, in the surface of epithelial cells. 相似文献
