“…All enveloped viruses have hijacked this system to deliver their glycoproteins to the correct membranes to envelop their capsid structures (52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63). In at least one instance, the Nipah virus F protein requires endocytic recycling to activate its F protein in the late endosome/lysosome by either cathepsin B or cathepsin L (26,64,65).…”

All live attenuated respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines that have advanced to clinical trials have been produced in Vero cells. The attachment (G) glycoprotein in virions produced in these cells is smaller than that produced in other immortalized cells due to cleavage. These virions are 5-fold less infectious for primary well-differentiated human airway epithelial (HAE) cell cultures. Because HAE cells are isolated directly from human airways, Vero cell-grown vaccine virus would very likely be similarly inefficient at initiating infection of the nasal epithelium following vaccination, and therefore, a larger inoculum would be required for effective vaccination. We hypothesized that Vero cell-derived virus containing an intact G protein would be more infectious for HAE cell cultures. Using protease inhibitors with increasing specificity, we identified cathepsin L to be the protease responsible for cleavage. Our evidence suggests that cleavage occurs in the late endosome or lysosome during endocytic recycling. Cathepsin L activity was 100-fold greater in Vero cells than in HeLa cells. In addition, cathepsin L was able to cleave the G protein in Vero cell-grown virions but not in HeLa cell-grown virions, suggesting a difference in G-protein posttranslational modification in the two cell lines. We identified by mutagenesis amino acids important for cleavage, and these amino acids included a likely cathepsin L cleavage site. Virus containing a modified, noncleavable G protein produced in Vero cells was 5-fold more infectious for HAE cells in culture, confirming our hypothesis and indicating the value of including such a mutation in future live attenuated RSV vaccines. IMPORTANCEWorldwide, RSV is the second leading infectious cause of infant death, but no vaccine is available. Experimental live attenuated RSV vaccines are grown in Vero cells, but during production the virion attachment (G) glycoprotein is cleaved. Virions containing a cleaved G protein are less infectious for primary airway epithelial cells, the natural RSV target. In the study described here we identified the protease responsible, located the cleavage site, and demonstrated that cleavage likely occurs during endocytic recycling. Moreover, we showed that the infectivity of Vero cell-derived virus for primary airway epithelial cells is increased 5-fold if the virus contains a mutation in the G protein that prevents cleavage. The blocking of cleavage should improve RSV vaccine yield, consequently reducing production costs. Posttranslational cleavage of the fusion glycoprotein of many viruses plays an essential role in activation; however, cleavage of the RSV G protein is a novel example of a detrimental effect of cleavage on virus infectivity. In adults and teenagers, most respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections produce upper respiratory tract infection and symptoms. However, in infants, the immunocompromised, and the elderly, RSV has the potential to cause life-threatening lower respiratory tract infection (1-4). Worldwide, in 2010 ...

“…Rab11 is involved in trafficking proteins and vesicles between the trans-Golgi network (TGN), recycling endosome, and the plasma membrane (9, 49, 50) as well as playing a role in actin remodeling, cytokinesis, and abscission (27,41,55). Apical recycling endosome (ARE) trafficking is of particular interest in the context of viral infection as other negative-sense RNA viruses have been shown to assemble and/or traffic virion components through the ARE prior to final assembly and budding at the plasma membrane (4,44,51). Rab11 function is modulated and targeted through interactions with Rab11 family interacting proteins (Rab11-FIPs) that direct it to specific subcellular locations (23,25,26) by binding to actin or microtubule-based motor proteins (24, 26, 47).…”

Influenza A virus buds through the apical plasma membrane, forming enveloped virus particles that can take the shape of pleomorphic spheres or vastly elongated filaments. For either type of virion, the factors responsible for separation of viral and cell membranes are not known. We find that cellular Rab11 (a small GTP-binding protein involved in endocytic recycling) and Rab11-family interacting protein 3 ([FIP3] which plays a role in membrane trafficking and regulation of actin dynamics) are both required to support the formation of filamentous virions, while Rab11 is additionally involved in the final budding step of spherical particles. Cells transfected with Rab11 GTP-cycling mutants or depleted of Rab11 or FIP3 content by small interfering RNA treatment lost the ability to form virus filaments. Depletion of Rab11 resulted in up to a 100-fold decrease in titer of spherical virus released from cells. Scanning electron microscopy of Rab11-depleted cells showed high densities of virus particles apparently stalled in the process of budding. Transmission electron microscopy of thin sections confirmed that Rab11 depletion resulted in significant numbers of abnormally formed virus particles that had failed to pinch off from the plasma membrane. Based on these findings, we see a clear role for a Rab11-mediated pathway in influenza virus morphogenesis and budding.Influenza A virus is a highly infectious respiratory pathogen, causing 3 to 5 million severe cases yearly while the recent H1N1 pandemic has spread to over 200 countries and resulted in over 15,000 WHO-confirmed deaths since its emergence in March 2009 (57). Influenza virus particles are enveloped structures that contain nine identified viral polypeptides. The lipid envelope is derived by budding from the apical plasma membrane and contains the viral integral membrane proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) as well as the M2 ion channel. Internally, virus particles contain a matrix protein (M1), small quantities of the NS2/NEP polypeptide, and eight genomic segments of negative-sense RNA that are separately encapsidated into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles by the viral nucleoprotein (NP) and tripartite polymerase complex (PB1, PB2, and PA). M1 is thought to form a link between the RNPs and the cytoplasmic tails of the viral membrane proteins though M2 may also play a role (39). The minimal viral protein requirements for budding are disputed; while initial studies suggested that M1 was the main driver of budding (21, 34), more recent work proposes that the glycoproteins HA and NA are responsible (8).Further complicating the analysis of influenza A virus budding is the observation that most strains of the virus form two distinct types of virions: spherical particles approximately 100 nm in diameter and much longer filamentous particles up to 30 m in length (38). Of the viral proteins, M1 is the primary determinant of particle shape (3, 17) although other virus genes also play a role. It is also likely that host factors are involved in the process ...

West Nile virus (WNV) particles assemble at and bud into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are secreted from infected cells through the secretory pathway. However, the host factor related to these steps is not fully understood. Rab proteins, belonging to the Ras superfamily, play essential roles in regulating many aspects of vesicular trafficking. In this study, we sought to determine which Rab proteins are involved in intracellular trafficking of nascent WNV particles. RNAi analysis revealed that Rab8b plays a role in WNV particle release. We found that Rab8 and WNV antigen were colocalized in WNV-infected human neuroblastoma cells, and that WNV infection enhanced Rab8 expression in the cells. In addition, the amount of WNV particles in the supernatant of Rab8b-deficient cells was significantly decreased compared with that of wild-type cells. We also demonstrated that WNV particles accumulated in the recycling endosomes in WNV-infected cells. In summary, these results suggest that Rab8b is involved in trafficking of WNV particles from recycling endosomes to the plasma membrane.
