The central conserved cystine noose of the attachment G protein of human respiratory syncytial virus is not required for efficient viral infection in vitro or in vivo.

Abstract:

:The G glycoprotein of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was identified previously as the viral attachment protein. Although we and others recently showed that G is not essential for replication in vitro, it does affect the efficiency of replication in a cell type-dependent fashion and is required for efficient replication in vivo. The ectodomain of G is composed of two heavily glycosylated domains with mucin-like characteristics that are separated by a short central region that is relatively devoid of glycosylation sites. This central region contains a 13-amino acid segment that is conserved in the same form among RSV isolates and is overlapped by a second segment containing four cysteine residues whose spacings are conserved in the same form and which create a cystine noose. The conserved nature of the cystine noose and flanking 13-amino acid segment suggested that this region likely was important for attachment activity. To test this hypothesis, we constructed recombinant RSVs from which the region containing the cysteine residues was deleted together with part or all of the conserved 13-amino acid segment. Surprisingly, each deletion had little or no effect on the intracellular synthesis and processing of the G protein, the kinetics or efficiency of virus replication in vitro, or sensitivity to neutralization by soluble heparin in vitro. In addition, neither deletion had any discernible effect on the ability of RSV to infect the upper respiratory tract of mice and both resulted in a 3- to 10-fold reduction in the lower respiratory tract. Thus, although the G protein is necessary for efficient virus replication in vivo, this activity does not require the central conserved cystine noose region.

  • A structured viroid RNA serves as a substrate for dicer-like cleavage to produce biologically active small RNAs but is resistant to RNA-induced silencing complex-mediated degradation.

    abstract::RNA silencing is a potent means of antiviral defense in plants and animals. A hallmark of this defense response is the production of 21- to 24-nucleotide viral small RNAs via mechanisms that remain to be fully understood. Many viruses encode suppressors of RNA silencing, and some viral RNAs function directly as silenc...
