Glycoprotein gIII of pseudorabies virus is multifunctional

Abstract: One of the major glycoproteins of pseudorabies virus, gIII, is nonessential for growth in cell culture. Mutants defective in gIII, however, consistently yield lower titers of infectious virus (3to 20-fold) than does wild-type virus. The interactions of gIImutants with their host cells were compared with those of wild-type virus in an attempt to uncover the functions of glll. We show that gIII plays a major role in the stable adsorption of the virus to its host cell; in the absence of gUI, the rate of adsorptio… Show more

“…Evidence that heparan sulfate also serves as receptor for these animal viruses comes from findings that heparin inhibits infection and that treatment of cells with heparitinase or heparinase reduces the binding of virus to the cells and renders the cells at least partially resistant to virus infection (41,46,53) . In addition, both of these animal viruses encode glycoproteins that are related to HSV gC and, for both viruses, the gC homolog has heparin-binding activity and is principally responsible for the binding of virus to cells (40,41,46,53,54,64,70) . These similarities among HSV, pseudorabies virus, and bovine herpesvirus type 1 are consistent with the similarities in biological properties and pathogenesis of the viruses (despite their propensity to infect different animal species) .…”

“…Despite the similarities among the various herpesviruses, though, differences have emerged. For example, virions of pseudorabies virus (PRV) lacking or containing mutant forms of gC (formerly gIII) are readily removed from cell surfaces by washing infected monolayers with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (6,29). The virions that do manage to infect cells do so independently of heparan sulfate (6,17).…”

“…At that time, a large number of viral antigen-positive plaques were found in the nasal mucosa. The reason for the detection of a low number of free viruses in the nasal mucus can be sought in the defect of the virus to produce gE and gC, two glycoproteins which both play an important role in virus release (Schreurs et al, 1988;Zsak et al, 1989). From a safety point of view, Kaplan gE − gC − is preferred to Kaplan gE − gI − .…”
