چکیده

A complex of five human cytomegalovirus virus (HCMV) proteins, gH, gL, UL128, UL130, and UL131 (gH/gL/UL128-131), is essential for virus entry into epithelial cells. We previously showed that gH/gL/UL128-131 expressed in epithelial cells interferes with subsequent HCMV entry into cells. There was no interference with only gH/gL or gB. We concluded that the expression of gH/gL/UL128-131 causes a mislocalization or downregulation of epithelial cell proteins that HCMV requires for entry. In contrast, gH/gL/UL128-131 expression in fibroblasts did not produce interference, suggesting a different mechanism for entry. Here, we show that the coexpression of another HCMV glycoprotein, gO, with gH/gL in human fibroblasts interferes with HCMV entry into fibroblasts but not epithelial cells. However, the coexpression of gO with gH/gL did not increase the cell surface expression level of gH/gL and did not enhance cell-cell fusion, a process that depends upon cell surface gH/gL. Instead, gO promoted the export of gH/gL from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the accumulation of gH/gL in the trans-Golgi network. Thus, interference with gH/gL or gH/gL/gO, i.e., the mislocalization or blocking of entry mediators, occurs in cytoplasmic membranes and not in cell surface membranes of fibroblasts. Together, the results provide additional support for our hypotheses that epithelial cells express putative gH/gL/UL128-1331 receptors important for HCMV entry and that fibroblasts express distinct gH/gL receptors.

HCMV gH/gL/UL128-131 interferes with virus entry into epithelial cells: evidence for cell type-specific receptors.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) forms two different membrane protein complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128/UL130/UL131, that function in different cell types. gH/gL/gO appears to be important for HCMV entry into or spread between fibroblasts, processes that occur at neutral pH. We demonstrated that HCMV entry into epithelial and endothelial cells requires gH/gL/UL128-131 and involves endocytosis and...

Structural and biochemical studies of HCMV gH/gL/gO and Pentamer reveal mutually exclusive cell entry complexes.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in transplant patients and the leading viral cause of birth defects after congenital infection. The glycoprotein complexes gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128/UL130/UL131A (Pentamer) are key targets of the human humoral response against HCMV and are required for HCMV entry into fibroblasts and endothelial/epithelial cells, respective...

Human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein complex gH/gL/gO uses PDGFR-α as a key for entry

Herpesvirus gH/gL envelope glycoprotein complexes are key players in virus entry as ligands for host cell receptors and by promoting fusion of viral envelopes with cellular membranes. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has two alternative gH/gL complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128,130,131A which both shape the HCMV tropism. By studying binding of HCMV particles to fibroblasts, we could for the first t...

Characterization of the human cytomegalovirus gH/gL/UL128-131 complex that mediates entry into epithelial and endothelial cells.

The entry of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) into biologically relevant epithelial and endothelial cells involves endocytosis followed by low-pH-dependent fusion. This entry pathway is facilitated by the HCMV UL128, UL130, and UL131 proteins, which form one or more complexes with the virion envelope glycoprotein gH/gL. gH/gL/UL128-131 complexes appear to be distinct from the gH/gL/gO complex, whic...

The Viral Chemokine MCK-2 of Murine Cytomegalovirus Promotes Infection as Part of a gH/gL/MCK-2 Complex

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) forms two gH/gL glycoprotein complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/pUL(128,130,131A), which determine the tropism, the entry pathways and the mode of spread of the virus. For murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), which serves as a model for HCMV, a gH/gL/gO complex functionally homologous to the HCMV gH/gL/gO complex has been described. Knock-out of MCMV gO does impair, but not ab...
