Discrimination of Mumps Virus Small Hydrophobic Gene Deletion Effects from Gene Translation Effects on Virus Virulence

Abstract: Deletion of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein of certain paramyxoviruses has been found to result in attenuation, suggesting that the SH protein is a virulence factor. To investigate the role of the mumps virus (MuV) SH protein in virulence, multiple stop codons were introduced into the open reading frame (ORF) of a MuV molecular clone (r88-1961 SHstop ), preserving genome structure but precluding production of the SH protein. No differences in neurovirulence were seen between the wild-type and the SH stop vi… Show more

“…We did not observe MuV SH to have a severe impact on virus replication in cell culture, which is in line with previous findings by Malik et al (33). In a neurotoxicity test involving intracerebral injection of MuV into the brain of newborn rats (54), rMuV lacking the entire SH gene was shown to be attenuated, while rMuV deficient in SH due to additional stop codons was not (33). However, effects on NF-B signaling might become evident only in a more physiological setting, i.e., during MuV infection via the respiratory tract.…”

“…Efficient paramyxovirus replication is dependent on a well-balanced gradient of viral mRNAs, provided by the order and the number of viral genes on the single-stranded RNA genome (31), as well as on a hexameric genome length (rule of six) for promoter recognition and viral editing (32). In order to generate rMuV deficient in SH with the least possible effect on virus replication, we introduced three stop codons into the SH gene (similar to Malik et al [33]). To allow the detection of SH in infected cells, we additionally fused a FLAG epitope coding sequence to the SH gene while complying with the rule of six.…”

“…The related MuV SH protein is a 57-residue integral membrane protein, which due to sequence variability has been used as marker to identify MuV isolates [27]. MuV lacking an SH gene induced levels of cytokine responses higher than WT and was attenuated in an animal model system [28], although the effect of the SH gene deletion on the gradient of viral gene transcription also likely contributes to these results [29]. …”

“…The functions of V and SH are less well understood [2][3][4][5]. The SH gene sequence is variable and is therefore used as the basis of MuV genotyping [6][7][8].…”
