Vesicular Stomatitis

Previously, it has been shown that 1-cinnamoyl-3,11-dihydroxymeliacarpin (CDM), a natural compound isolated from leaf extracts of Melia azedarach L., inhibits the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) multiplication cycle when added before or after infection. Here, we have established that the lack of VSV protein synthesis in CDM pre-treated Vero cells is ascribed to the inhibition of an initial step during virus multiplication, although indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) studies confirmed that the binding and uptake of [35S]methionine-labelled VSV was not affected by CDM pre-treatment. Instead, our findings revealed that this compound impedes the uncoating of VSV nucleocapsids in pre-treated Vero cells, since the antiviral action of CDM was partially reversed by inducing VSV direct fusion at the plasma membrane, and VSV M protein fluorescence was confined to the endosomes, even 2 h post-internalization. Furthermore, CDM induced cytoplasmic alkalinization, as shown by acridine orange staining, consistent with the inhibition of virus uncoating. Although VSV proteins are synthesized when CDM is added after infection, IFI studies revealed that G protein was absent from the surface of infected cells and co-localized with a Golgi marker. Therefore, CDM inhibits the transport of G protein to the plasma membrane. Taken together, these findings indicate that CDM exerts its antiviral action on the endocytic and exocytic pathways of VSV by pre- or post-treatment, respectively.

ABSTRACT Many plasma membrane components are organized into detergent-resistant membrane microdomains referred to as lipid rafts. However, there is much less information about the organization of membrane components into microdomains outside of lipid rafts. Furthermore, there are few approaches to determine whether different membrane components are colocalized in microdomains as small as lipid rafts. We have previously described a new method of determining the extent of organization of proteins into membrane microdomains by analyzing the distribution of pairwise distances between immunogold particles in immunoelectron micrographs. We used this method to analyze the microdomains involved in the incorporation of the T-cell antigen CD4 into the envelope of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). In cells infected with a recombinant virus that expresses CD4 from the viral genome, both CD4 and the VSV envelope glycoprotein (G protein) were found in detergent-soluble (nonraft) membrane fractions. However, analysis of the distribution of CD4 and G protein in plasma membranes by immunoelectron microscopy showed that both were organized into membrane microdomains of similar sizes, approximately 100 to 150 nm. In regions of plasma membrane outside of virus budding sites, CD4 and G protein were present in separate membrane microdomains, as shown by double-label immunoelectron microscopy data. However, virus budding occurred from membrane microdomains that contained both G protein and CD4, and extended to approximately 300 nm, indicating that VSV pseudotype formation with CD4 occurs by clustering of G protein- and CD4-containing microdomains.

Current model propose that in nonpolarized cells, transport of plasma membrane proteins to the surface occurs by default. In contrast, compelling evidence indicates that in polarized epithelial cells, plasma membrane proteins are sorted in the TGN into at least two vectorial routes to apical and basolateral surface domains. Since both apical and basolateral proteins are also normally expressed by both polarized and nonpolarized cells, we explored here whether recently described basolateral sorting signals in the cytoplasmic domain of basolateral proteins are recognized and used for post TGN transport by nonpolarized cells. To this end, we compared the inhibitory effect of basolateral signal peptides on the cytosol-stimulated release of two basolateral and one apical marker in semi-intact fibroblasts (3T3), pituitary (GH3), and epithelial (MDCK) cells. A basolateral signal peptide (VSVGp) corresponding to the 29-amino acid cytoplasmic tail of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSVG) inhibited with identical potency the vesicular release of VSVG from the TGN of all three cell lines. On the other hand, the VSVG peptide did not inhibit the vesicular release of HA in MDCK cells not of two polypeptide hormones (growth hormone and prolactin) in GH3 cells, whereas in 3T3 cells (influenza) hemagglutinin was inhibited, albeit with a 3x lower potency than VSVG. The results support the existence of a basolateral-like, signal-mediated constitutive pathway from TGN to plasma membrane in all three cell types, and suggest that an apical-like pathway may be present in fibroblast. The data support cargo protein involvement, not bulk flow, in the formation of post-TGN vesicles and predict the involvement of distinct cytosolic factors in the assembly of apical and basolateral transport vesicles.

Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to construct chimeric cDNAs that encode the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (G) linked to the cytoplasmic domain of either the immunoglobulin mu membrane heavy chain, the hemagglutinin glycoprotein of influenza virus, or the small glycoprotein (p23) of infectious bronchitis virus. Biochemical analyses and immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that these hybrid genes were correctly expressed in eukaryotic cells and that the hybrid proteins were transported to the plasma membrane. The rate of transport to the Golgi complex of G protein with an immunoglobulin mu membrane cytoplasmic domain was approximately sixfold slower than G protein with its normal cytoplasmic domain. However, this rate was virtually identical to the rate of transport of micron heavy chain molecules measured in the B cell line WEHI 231. The rate of transport of G protein with a hemagglutinin cytoplasmic domain was threefold slower than wild type G protein and G protein with a p23 cytoplasmic domain, which were transported at similar rates. The combined results underscore the importance of the amino acid sequence in the cytoplasmic domain for efficient transport of G protein to the cell surface. Also, normal cytoplasmic domains from other transmembrane glycoproteins can substitute for the G protein cytoplasmic domain in transport of G protein to the plasma membrane. The method of constructing precise hybrid proteins described here will be useful in defining functions of specific domains of viral and cellular integral membrane proteins.

The G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus, implanted into the apical plasma membrane of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, is rapidly transcytosed to the basolateral membrane. In this and the accompanying paper (Pesonen, M., R. Bravo, and K. Simons, 1984, J. Cell Biol. 99:803-809.) we have studied the intracellular route by which the G protein traverses during transcytosis. Using Percoll density gradient centrifugation and free flow electrophoresis we could demonstrate that the G protein is endocytosed into a nonlysosomal compartment with a density of approximately 1.05 g/cm3, which has many of the characteristics of endosomes. Transcytosis to the basolateral membrane appeared to occur from this compartment. No direct evidence for the involvement of lysosomes in the transcytotic route could be obtained. No G protein was detected in the lysosomes when transcytosis of G protein was occurring. Moreover, at 21 degrees C when passage of G protein to the lysosomes was shown to be arrested, transcytosis of G protein could still be demonstrated.

Two Stages

The G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is transported from its site of synthesis in the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane via the Golgi apparatus. Pulse-chase experiments suggest that G is transported to the cell surface in two successive waves of clathrin-coated vesicles. The oligosaccharides of G protein carried in the early wave are of the "high-mannose" (G1) form, whereas the oligosaccharides in the second, later wave are of the mature "complex" (G2) form. the early wave is therefore proposed to correspond to transport of G in coated vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus, and the succeeding wave to transport from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. The G1- and G2-containing coated vesicles appear to be structurally distinct, as judged by their differential precipitation by anticoated vesicle serum.

Using monoclonal antibodies and indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, we investigated the distribution of the M protein in situ in vesicular stomatitis virus-(VSV) infected MDCK cells. M protein was observed free in the cytoplasm and associated with the plasma membrane. Using the ts045 mutant of VSV to uncouple the synthesis and transport of the VSV G protein we demonstrated that this distribution was not related to the presence of G protein on the cell surface. Sections of epon-embedded infected cells labeled with antibody to the M protein and processed for indirect horseradish peroxidase immunocytochemistry revealed that the M protein was associated specifically with the basolateral plasma membrane. The G and M proteins of VSV have therefore evolved features which bring them independently to the basolateral membrane of polarized epithelial cells and allow virus to bud specifically from that membrane.

ABSTRACT Immunogold electron microscopy and analysis were used to determine the organization of the major structural proteins of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) during virus assembly. We determined that matrix protein (M protein) partitions into plasma membrane microdomains in VSV-infected cells as well as in transfected cells expressing M protein. The sizes of the M-protein-containing microdomains outside the virus budding sites (50 to 100 nm) were smaller than those at sites of virus budding (approximately 560 nm). Glycoprotein (G protein) and M protein microdomains were not colocalized in the plasma membrane outside the virus budding sites, nor was M protein colocalized with microdomains containing the host protein CD4, which efficiently forms pseudotypes with VSV envelopes. These results suggest that separate membrane microdomains containing either viral or host proteins cluster or merge to form virus budding sites. We also determined whether G protein or M protein was colocalized with VSV nucleocapsid protein (N protein) outside the budding sites. Viral nucleocapsids were observed to cluster in regions of the cytoplasm close to the plasma membrane. Membrane-associated N protein was colocalized with G protein in regions of plasma membrane of approximately 600 nm. In contrast to the case for G protein, M protein was not colocalized with these areas of nucleocapsid accumulation. These results suggest a new model of virus assembly in which an interaction of VSV nucleocapsids with G-protein-containing microdomains is a precursor to the formation of viral budding sites.

Transferrin is taken up by receptor-mediated endocytosis into intracellular vesicles and tubules, and then recycles rapidly to the plasma membrane (diacytosis). We applied double-label cytochemistry to study whether the recycling structures containing transferrin fuse with the intracellular membranous structures that deliver newly synthesized membrane glycoproteins from the ER to the plasma membrane (exocytosis) or whether they remain independent. KB and Vero cells were infected with the temperature-sensitive transport mutant 0-45 of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Temperature-regulated exocytosis of membrane glycoprotein "G" occurred simultaneously with diacytosis of transferrin. The exocytic "G" protein, as detected by immunoperoxidase electron microscopy, passed through the cisternal Golgi stacks and vacuolar, tubular, vesicular, and pit-like structures of the Golgi system. A transferrin-ferritin conjugate used in ultrastructural double-label experiments was detected in diacytic vesicles and tubules that accumulated in the proximal (trans-reticular) Golgi area of the cell. The ferritin-labeled vesicles/tubules were often close to and intermixed with the VSV-"G" containing membranous structures, but in most cases at early times (15-20 min) the transferrin and VSV-"G" containing vesicular structures remained distinct. At later times (30-45 min), the two labels were occasionally found in the same structures. These results indicate that rapid recycling of endocytosed materials and exocytosis of membrane glycoproteins to the cell surface usually occur in distinct vesicles, possibly along the same general morphologic exit pathway.
