Vaccinia virus H2 protein is an essential component of a complex involved in virus entry and cell-cell fusion.

Abstract:

:The vaccinia virus H2R gene (VACWR 100) is conserved in all sequenced members of the poxvirus family and encodes a protein with a predicted transmembrane domain and four invariant cysteines. A recombinant vaccinia virus, in which expression of the H2 protein is stringently regulated, was unable to replicate without inducer. However, under nonpermissive conditions, all stages of virus morphogenesis appeared normal and extracellular virions were detected at the tips of actin tails. Nevertheless, virus did not spread to neighboring cells nor did syncytia form after low-pH treatment. Purified -H2 and +H2 virions from cells infected in the absence or presence of inducer, respectively, were indistinguishable in microscopic appearance and contained the same complement of major proteins, though only +H2 virions were infectious. The -H2 virions bound to cells, but their cores did not penetrate into the cytoplasm. In addition, exogenously added -H2 virions were unable to mediate the formation of syncytia after low-pH treatment. In contrast, virions lacking the A27 (p14) protein, which was previously considered to have an essential role in fusion, penetrated cells and induced extensive syncytia. The properties of H2, however, are very similar to those recently reported for the A28 protein. Moreover, coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicated an interaction between H2 and A28. Therefore, H2 and A28 are the only proteins presently known to be specifically required for vaccinia virus entry and are likely components of a fusion complex.
