Composition of pseudorabies virus particles lacking tegument protein US3, UL47, or UL49 or envelope glycoprotein E.

Abstract：

:Proteins located in the tegument layer of herpesvirus particles play important roles in the replicative cycle at both early and late times after infection. As major constituents of the virion, they execute important functions in particular during formation of progeny virions. These functions have mostly been elucidated by construction and analysis of mutant viruses deleted in single or multiple tegument protein-encoding genes (reviewed in the work of T. C. Mettenleiter, Virus Res. 106:167-180, 2004). However, since tegument proteins have been shown to be involved in numerous protein-protein interactions, the impact of single protein deletions on the composition of the virus particle is unknown, but they could impair correct interpretation of the results. To analyze how the absence of single virion constituents influences virion composition, we established a procedure to assay relative amounts of virion structural proteins in deletion mutants of the alphaherpesvirus Pseudorabies virus (PrV) in comparison to wild-type particles. The assay is based on the mass spectrometric quantitation of virion protein-derived peptides carrying stable isotope mass tags. After deletion of the US3, UL47, UL49, or glycoprotein E gene, relative amounts of a capsid protein (UL38), a capsid-associated protein (UL25), several tegument proteins (UL36 and UL47, if present), and glycoprotein H were unaffected, whereas the content of other tegument proteins (UL46, UL48, and UL49, if present) varied significantly. In the case of the UL48 gene product, a specific increase in incorporation of a smaller isoform was observed after deletion of the UL47 or UL49 gene, whereas a larger isoform remained unaffected. The cellular protein actin was enriched in virions of mutants deficient in any of the tegument proteins UL47, UL49, or US3. By two-dimensional gel electrophoresis multiple isoforms of host cell-derived heat shock protein 70 and annexins A1 and A2 were also identified as structural components of PrV virions.
