Alterations in the structure of the oligosaccharide of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein by swainsonine.

Abstract：

:Swainsonine, an inhibitor of glycoprotein processing, inhibits the formation of the normal oligosaccharide chain of the G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus. Thus, when vesicular stomatitis virus was grown in baby hamster kidney cells in the presence of swainsonine (15 to 500 ng/ml) and labeled with [2-(3)H]mannose, the oligosaccharide portion of the G protein was completely susceptible to the action of endoglucosaminidase H. However, the normal viral glycoprotein is not susceptible to this enzyme. Various enzymatic treatments and methylation studies of the mannose-labeled oligosaccharides suggest that swainsonine causes the formation of a hybrid-type oligosaccharide having an oligomannosyl core (Man(5)GlcNAc(2)-Asn) characteristic of neutral oligosaccharides plus the branch structure (NeuNAc-Gal-GlcNAc) characteristic of the complex oligosaccharides. A structure for this hybrid oligosaccharide is proposed. Swainsonine had no effect on the incorporation of [(14)C]leucine into viral proteins, nor did it change the number of PFU produced in these cultures. It did, however, slightly decrease the incorporation of [(3)H]glucosamine and increase the incorporation of [(3)H]mannose. Vesicular stomatitis virus raised in the presence of swainsonine bound much more tightly to columns of concanavalin A-Sepharose than did control virus. Swainsonine had to be added within the first 4 or 5 h of virus infection to be effective. Thus, when 100 ng of the alkaloid per ml was added at any time within the first 3 h of infection, essentially all of the glycoprotein was susceptible to digestion by endoglucosaminidase H. However, when swainsonine was added 4 h after the start of infection, 30% of the glycopeptides became resistant to endoglucosaminidase H; at 5 h, 70% were resistant. The effect of swainsonine was reversible since removal of the alkaloid allowed the cells to form the normal complex glycoproteins. However, the time of removal was critical in terms of oligosaccharide structure.
