Enhancins are metalloproteinases that facilitate baculovirus infection in the insect midgut. They are more prevalent in granuloviruses (GVs), constituting up to 5% of the proteins of viral occlusion bodies (OBs). In nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs), in contrast, they are present in the envelope of the occlusion-derived virions (ODV). In the present study, we constructed a recombinant Autographa californica NPV (AcMNPV) that expressed the Trichoplusia ni GV (TnGV) enhancin 3 (En3), with the aim of increasing the presence of enhancin in the OBs or ODVs. En3 was successfully produced but did not localize to the OBs or the ODVs and accumulated in the soluble fraction of infected cells. As a result, increased OB pathogenicity was observed when OBs were administered in mixtures with the soluble fraction of infected cells. The mixture of OBs and the soluble fraction of Sf9 cells infected with BacPhEn3 recombinant virus was ~3- and ~4.7-fold more pathogenic than BacPh control OBs in the second and fourth instars of Spodoptera exigua, respectively. In contrast, when purified, recombinant BacPhEn3 OBs were as pathogenic as control BacPh OBs. The expression of En3 in the soluble fraction of insect cells may find applications in the development of virus-based insecticides with increased efficacy.

The glycoprotein spike (S) on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 is a determinant for viral invasion and host immune response. Herein, we characterized the site-specific N-glycosylation of S protein at the level of intact glycopeptides. All 22 potential N-glycosites were identified in the S-protein protomer and were found to be preserved among the 753 SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences. The glycosites exhibited glycoform heterogeneity as expected for a human cell-expressed protein subunit. We identified masses that correspond to 157 N-glycans, primarily of the complex type. In contrast, the insect cell-expressed S protein contained 38 N-glycans, completely of the high-mannose type. Our results revealed that the glycan types were highly determined by the differential processing of N-glycans among human and insect cells, regardless of the glycosites’ location. Moreover, the N-glycan compositions were conserved among different sizes of subunits. Our study indicate that the S protein N-glycosylation occurs regularly at each site, albeit the occupied N-glycans were diverse and heterogenous. This N-glycosylation landscape and the differential N-glycan patterns among distinct host cells are expected to shed light on the infection mechanism and present a positive view for the development of vaccines and targeted drugs.

Transferin manusia (hTf) memainkan peranan yang penting dalam fungsi bakteriostatik dan pengangkutan ferum dari bahagian penyimpanan ke sel–sel yang membiak melalui proses endositosis janaan reseptor. Sistem ekspresi bakulovirus sel serangga telah dipakai secara meluas sebagai sistem alternatif dalam penghasilan Transferin manusia rekombinan (rhTf). Kajian ini ditumpukan ke atas pengoptimuman glutamina, glukosa dan campuran lipid 1000x yang dapat meningkatkan penghasilan rhTf. Reka bentuk eksperimen yang melibatkan 17 eksperimen reka bentuk komposit berpusat (CCD) telah digunakan dan hasil kajian dianalisis oleh Statistika (Statsoft v. 5.0). Metodologi permukaan tindak balas (RSM) telah mengenalpasti nilai optimum parameterparameter yang dikaji iaitu glutamina=2211.20 mg/L, glukosa=1291.95 mg/L, dan campuran lipid 1000x=0.64 %v/v. Hasil optimasi menunjukkan peningkatan hasil rhTf sebanyak tiga kali ganda, iaitu daripada 19.89 μg/ml kepada 65.12 μg/ml. Kata kunci: Transferin manusia; bakulovirus sel serangga; reka bentuk eksperimen; reka bentuk komposit berpusat; metodologi permukaan tindak balas Human Transferrin (hTf) plays a big role in providing bacteriostatic functions as well as to transport iron from the storage part to all proliferating cells by receptor mediated endocytosis. Insect cells baculovirus expression system has been widely used as an alternative expression system for the production of recombinant human Transferrin (rhTf). This work focused mainly on the optimization of glutamine, glucose and lipid mixtures 1000x to increase rhTf yield. An experimental design involving 17 central composite design (CCD) experiments was employed and results were analyzed by Statistica (Statsoft v. 5.0). The response surface methodology (RSM) had identified the optimum values where glutamine=2211.20 mg/L, glucose=1291.95 mg/L, and lipid mixtures 1000x=0.64 %v/v. Using the optimized parameters, the studies demonstrated an increase in the rhTf yield by three–fold from 19.89 μg/ml to 65.12 μg/ml. Key words: Human transferrin; insect cells baculovirus; experimental design; central composite design; response surface methodology
