Synthesis and assembly of hepatitis A virus-specific proteins in BS-C-1 cells

Abstract: To determine the mechanism for the delayed and inefficient replication of the picornavirus hepatitis A virus in cell culture, we studied the kinetics of synthesis and assembly of virus-specific proteins by metabolic labeling of infected BS-C-1 cells with L-[35SJmethionine and L-[35Slcysteine. Sedimentation, electrophoresis, and autoradiography revealed the presence of virions, provirions, procapsids, and 14S (pentameric) subunits. Virions and provirions contained VP1, VPO, VP2, and VP3; procapsids contained VP… Show more

“…These results were consistent with previous studies in our laboratory that examined cleavages following translation in vitro of HAV constructs (23), but appeared to contradict results from studies performed by others (31,38). During virus infection, cleavage of PX appears to occur only quite late in the morphogenesis pathway of virion particles (1,4,6,47); thus, the processing of VP1-2A that occurs in infected cells might require an assembled conformation of substrate, and the model reactions studied in vitro or in transfected cells may not mimic the relevant biological reaction.…”

“…Effect of HAV P3 intermediate polypeptides on the formation of viral particles. As reported elsewhere, P1-2A is the precursor polypeptide required for efficient assembly of empty HAV particles which was used as substrate for P3 and its 3Ccontaining products in cis and in trans (1,4,27). After coexpression of P1-2A with the various precursors of 3C, both the liberation of viral structural proteins as well as the assembly of particulated viral antigen were analyzed.…”

“…Compared with other picornaviruses, HAV replicates at a greatly retarded rate without inducing a shutdown of host cell macromolecular synthesis. Several steps in the infection cycle have been proposed as rate-limiting factors in HAV amplification (1,6,13). One of these factors was ascribed to HAV RNA synthesis, which was considered to be down-regulated following the initial period of replicative activity (13).…”
