Failure to cleave measles virus fusion protein in lymphoid cells. A possible mechanism for viral persistence in lymphocytes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The host-directed cleavage of measles virus fusion protein on infected lymphoid cells was studied to understand the mechanism of viral persistence in lymphoid cells in vivo. Several lymphoblastoid cell lines were infected with measles virus, and the viral glycoproteins expressed on the cell's surface were radiolabeled and analyzed for cleavage of fusion (F(0)) to F(1) by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Daudi and Ramos lymphoblastoid cells were deficient in their ability to cleave measles virus fusion protein and correspondingly produced low titers of infectious measles virus, Daudi cells being more defective than Ramos cells. In contrast, other lymphoblastoid cells studied, Victor, Raji, Wi-L2, RPMI 8866, and Seraphine, cleaved the fusion polypeptide and made significantly more infectious virus. Despite their defect in cleaving F protein, Daudi cells were able to assemble and release (noninfectious) measles virus particles into the fluid phase. The deficit in Daudi cells was corrected by fusing infected Daudi cells with cleavage-competent cells such as Victor or Raji. Furthermore, the cleavage event performed by competent cells could be mimicked at the plasma membrane by treating infected Daudi cells with trypsin, implicating the role of a plasma membrane enzyme in cleaving F(0) to F(1) during measles virus infection. Hence, lymphoid cells deficient in the plasma membrane enzyme required to cleave F protein are permissive for measles virus, maintain viral gene products, produce mostly noninfectious virus, and fail to place the biologic activity F(1) protein on their surfaces.

Background:In the recent decade, the reverse genetics method has been broadly used for rescue of negative-stranded RNA viruses from cDNA or viral minigenomes. This technique has been applied to study different steps in virus replication and virus-host interactions. Reverse genetics could also be implemented for design of new vaccines. The T7 RNA polymerase activity as well as virus (nucleocapsi...

Production of monoclonal antibody against recombinant NS3 protein of bovine viral diarrhea virus (NADL strain)
Bovine Viral Diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important viral pathogen of cattle causing several clinical syndromes. There are usually no pathognomonic clinical signs of BVDV infection. Diagnostic investigations therefore rely on serological detection and virus isolation. Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3) as immunogenic protein of BVDV is genetically and antigenically conserved among different isolates....
