Abstract
We have investigated the molecular-level structure of the Vaccinia virion in situ by protein-protein chemical crosslinking, identifying 4609 unique-mass crosslink ions at an effective FDR of 0.33%, covering 2534 unique pairs of crosslinked protein positions, 625 of which were inter-protein. The data were statistically non-random and rational in the context of known structures, and showed biological rationality. Crosslink density strongly tracked the individual proteolytic maturation products of p4a and p4b, the two major virion structural proteins, and supported the prediction of transmembrane domains within membrane proteins. A clear sub-network of four virion structural proteins provided structural insights into the virion core wall, and proteins VP8 and A12 formed a strongly-detected crosslinked pair with an apparent structural role. A strongly-detected sub-network of membrane proteins A17, H3, A27 and A26 represented an apparent interface of the early-forming virion envelope with structures added later during virion morphogenesis. Protein H3 seemed to be the central hub not only for this sub-network but also for an 'attachment protein' sub-network comprising membrane proteins H3, ATI, CAHH(D8), A26, A27 and G9. Crosslinking data lent support to a number of known interactions and interactions within known complexes. Evidence is provided for the membrane targeting of genome telomeres. In covering several orders of magnitude in protein abundance, this study may have come close to the bottom of the protein-protein crosslinkome of an intact organism, namely a complex animal virus.

Abstract
High-lateral-resolution secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) has the potential to provide functional and depth resolved information from small biological structures, such as viral particles (virions) and phage, but sputter rate and sensitivity are not characterized at shallow depths relevant to these structures. Here we combine stable isotope labeling of the DNA of vaccinia virions with correlated SIMS imaging depth profiling and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to develop a nonlinear, nonequilibrium sputter rate model for the virions and validate the model on the basis of reconstructing the location of the DNA within individual virions. Our experiments with a Cs+ beam show an unexpectedly high initial sputter rate (∼100 um2·nm·pA-1·s-1) with a rapid decline to an asymptotic rate of 0.7 um2·nm·pA-1·s-1 at an approximate depth of 70 nm. Correlated experiments were also conducted with glutaraldehyde-fixed virions, as well as O- and Ga+ beams, yielding similar results. Based on our Cs+ sputter rate model, the labeled DNA in the virion was between 50 and 90 nm depth in the virion core, consistent with expectations, supporting our conclusions. Virion densification was found to be a secondary effect. Accurate isotopic ratios were obtained from the initiation of sputtering, suggesting that isotopic tracers could be successfully used for smaller virions and phage.

Abstract
Vaccinia virus was treated in a controlled manner with various combinations of nonionic detergents, reducing agents, and proteolytic enzymes, and successive products of the reactions were visualized using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Following removal of the outer lipid/protein membrane, a layer 20 to 40 nm in thickness was encountered that was composed of fibrous elements which, under reducing conditions, rapidly decomposed into individual monomers on the substrate. Beneath this layer was the virus core and its prominent lateral bodies, which could be dissociated or degraded with proteases. The core, in addition to the lateral bodies, was composed of a thick, multilayered shell of proteins of diverse sizes and shapes. The shell, which was readily etched with proteases, was thoroughly permeated with pores, or channels. Prolonged exposure to proteases and reductants produced disgorgement of the viral DNA from the remainders of the cores and also left residual, flattened, protease-resistant sacs on the imaging substrate. The DNA was readily visualized by AFM, which revealed some regions to be "soldered" by proteins, others to be heavily complexed with protein, and yet other parts to apparently exist as bundled, naked DNA. Prolonged exposure to proteases deproteinized the DNA, leaving masses of extended, free DNA. Estimates of the interior core volume suggest moderate but not extreme compaction of the genome.

Abstract
Poxviruses comprise a large family of viruses characterized by a large, linear dsDNA genome, a cytoplasmic site of replication and a complex virion morphology. The most notorious member of the poxvirus family is variola, the causative agent of smallpox. The laboratory prototype virus used for the study of poxviruses is vaccinia, the virus that was used as a live, naturally attenuated vaccine for the eradication of smallpox. Both the morphogenesis and structure of poxvirus virions are unique among viruses. Poxvirus virions apparently lack any of the symmetry features common to other viruses such as helical or icosahedral capsids or nucleocapsids. Instead poxvirus virions appear as "brick shaped" or "ovoid" membrane-bound particles with a complex internal structure featuring a walled, biconcave core flanked by "lateral bodies." The virion assembly pathway involves a remarkable fabrication of membrane-containing crescents and immature virions, which evolve into mature virions in a process that is unparalleled in virology. As a result of significant advances in poxvirus genetics and molecular biology during the past 15 years, we can now positively identify over 70 specific gene products contained in poxvirus virions, and we can describe the effects of mutations in over 50 specific genes on poxvirus assembly. This review summarizes these advances and attempts to assemble them into a comprehensible and thoughtful picture of poxvirus structure and assembly.

Abstract
Three-dimensional "deep-etch" electron microscopy (DEEM) resolves a longstanding controversy concerning poxvirus morphogenesis. By avoiding fixative-induced membrane distortions that confounded earlier studies, DEEM shows that the primary poxvirus envelope is a single membrane bilayer coated on its external surface by a continuous honeycomb lattice. Freeze fracture of quick-frozen poxvirus-infected cells further shows that there is only one fracture plane through this primary envelope, confirming that it consists of a single lipid bilayer. DEEM also illustrates that the honeycomb coating on this envelope is completely replaced by a different paracrystalline coat as the poxvirus matures. Correlative thin section images of infected cells freeze substituted after quick-freezing, plus DEEM imaging of Tokuyasu-type cryo-thin sections of infected cells (a new application introduced here) all indicate that the honeycomb network on immature poxvirus virions is sufficiently continuous and organized, and tightly associated with the envelope throughout development, to explain how its single lipid bilayer could remain stable in the cytoplasm even before it closes into a complete sphere.

Abstract
Vaccinia virus, the basis of the smallpox vaccine, is one of the largest viruses to replicate in humans. We have used in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) to directly visualize fully hydrated, intact intracellular mature vaccinia virus (IMV) virions and chemical and enzymatic treatment products thereof. The latter included virion cores, core-enveloping coats, and core substructures. The isolated coats appeared to be composed of a highly cross-linked protein array. AFM imaging of core substructures indicated association of the linear viral DNA genome with a segmented protein sheath forming an extended approximately 16-nm-diameter filament with helical surface topography; enclosure of this filament within a 30- to 40-nm-diameter tubule which also shows helical topography; and enclosure of the folded, condensed 30- to 40-nm-diameter tubule within the core by a wall covered with peg-like projections. Proteins observed attached to the 30- to 40-nm-diameter tubules may mediate folding and/or compaction of the tubules and/or represent vestiges of the core wall and/or pegs. An accessory "satellite domain" was observed protruding from the intact core. This corresponded in size to isolated 70- to 100-nm-diameter particles that were imaged independently and might represent detached accessory domains. AFM imaging of intact virions indicated that IMV underwent a reversible shrinkage upon dehydration (as much as 2.2- to 2.5-fold in the height dimension), accompanied by topological and topographical changes, including protrusion of the satellite domain. As shown here, the chemical and enzymatic dissection of large, asymmetrical virus particles in combination with in situ AFM provides an informative complement to other structure determination techniques.

Abstract
In 1968 it was proposed that the first membrane structures that assemble in vaccinia virus-infected cells, the crescents, are formed by a unique viral mechanism in which a single membrane bilayer is synthesized de novo. 25 years later it was suggested that the vaccinia membranes are derived from an organelle that is part of the host cell's secretory pathway, the intermediate compartment (IC), and that the viral crescents are made of two tightly apposed membranes rather than a single bilayer. Several independent studies have subsequently shown that membrane proteins of the intracellular mature virus (IMV) insert co-translationally into endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes, and are targeted to and retained in the IC, the compartment from which the virus acquires its membranes. Furthermore, a recent study on the entry of both the IMV and extracellular enveloped virus (EEV) suggests that these viruses do not enter by a simple fusion mechanism, consistent with the idea that both are surrounded by more than one lipid bilayer.

Abstract
Single living cells were studied in growth medium by atomic force microscopy at a high--down to one image frame per second--imaging rate over time periods of many hours, stably producing hundreds of consecutive scans with a lateral resolution of approximately 30-40 nm. The cell was held by a micropipette mounted onto the scanner-piezo as shown in Häberle, W., J. K. H. Hörber, and G. Binnig. 1991. Force microscopy on living cells. J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B9:1210-0000. To initiate specific processes on the cell surface the cells had been infected with pox viruses as reported earlier and, most likely, the liberation of a progeny virion by the still-living cell was observed, hence confirming and supporting earlier results (Häberle, W., J. K. H. Hörber, F. Ohnesorge, D. P. E. Smith, and G. Binnig. 1992. In situ investigations of single living cells infected by viruses. Ultramicroscopy. 42-44:1161-0000; Hörber, J. K. H., W. Häberle, F. Ohnesorge, G. Binnig, H. G. Liebich, C. P. Czerny, H. Mahnel, and A. Mayr. 1992. Investigation of living cells in the nanometer regime with the atomic force microscope. Scanning Microscopy. 6:919-930). Furthermore, the pox viruses used were characterized separately by AFM in an aqueous environment down to the molecular level. Quasi-ordered structural details were resolved on a scale of a few nm where, however, image distortions and artifacts due to multiple tip effects are probably involved--just as in very high resolution (<15-20 nm) images on the cells. Although in a very preliminary manner, initial studies on the mechanical resonance properties of a single living (noninfected) cell, held by the micropipette, have been performed. In particular, frequency response spectra were recorded that indicate elastic properties and enough stiffness of these cells to make the demonstrated rapid scanning of the imaging tip plausible. Measurements of this kind, especially if they can be proven to be cell-type specific, may perhaps have a large potential for biomedical applications. Images of these living cells were also recorded in the widely known (e.g., Radmacher, M., R. W. Tillmann, and H. E. Gaub. 1993. Imaging viscoelasticity by force modulation with the atomic force microscope. Biophys. J. 64:735-742) force modulation mode, yet at one low modulation frequency of approximately 2 kHz. (Note: After the cells were attached to the pipette by suction, they first deformed significantly and then reassumed their original spherical shape, which they also acquire when freely suspended in solution, to a great extent with the exception of the portion adjusting to the pipette edge geometry after approximately 0.5-1 h, which occurred in almost the same manner with uninfected cells, and those that had been infected several hours earlier. This seems to be a process which is at least actively supported by the cellular cytoskeleton, rather than a mere osmotic pressure effect induced by electrolyte transport through the membrane. Furthermore, several hours postinfection (p.i.) infected cells developed many optically visible refraction effects, which appeared as small dark spots in the light microscope, that we believed to be the regions in the cell plasma where viruses are assembled; this is known from the literature on electron microscopy on pox-infected cells and referred to there as "virus factories" (e.g., Moss, B. 1986. Replication of pox viruses. In Fundamental Virology, B. N. Fields and D. M. Knape, editors. Raven Press, New York. 637-655). Therefore, we assume that the cells stay alive during imaging, in our experience for approximately 30-45 h p.i.).

Abstract
Treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) converted the vaccinia virus strain IHD-J into particles of two types: (i) ghosts which possessed a thin-membrane vesicle derived from basement part of the virus membrane with attached lateral bodies and a membranous structure derived from the core wall and (ii) aggregates of a DNA-nucleoprotein eluted from the core. These particles lacked lipids, and all the viral phospholipids were detected in the SDS-soluble fraction. The viral membrane was composed of an SDS-soluble coat layer and the basement membrane, and the basement membrane was maintained by a mechanism other than the lipid bilayer. By comparisons of protein species in morphologically distinct subviral particles prepared by several solubilizing methods, protein compositions of viral structural elements were suggested as follows: 25,000-molecular-weight viral protein-17,000-molecular-weight viral protein ( VP25K - VP17K ), viral basement membrane; VP13 . 8K , major component of the lateral body; VP70K , VP69K , VP66K , and VP64K , minor components of the lateral body; VP61K , outer layer of core wall; VP57K - VP22K , inner layer of core wall; and VP27K - VP13K , nucleoprotein. These structural elements found in the SDS-insoluble particles dissolved in the same SDS solution under reducing conditions, indicating that the disulfide linkages seem to have a principal role in maintaining their morphological integrity. VP57K , VP27K , VP13 . 8K , and VP13K were revealed to possess affinity for DNA. Denatured calf thymus DNA and viral DNA in double- or single-stranded form associated equally well with these proteins, but RNA did not bind. Therefore, it was strongly suggested that disulfide-linked VP27K - VP13K represented the nucleoproteins of vaccinia virus. A structural model of vaccinia virus is proposed and discussed.

Abstract
Treatment of vaccinia virions with 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate in the absence of reducing agents resulted in the release of subviral particles termed "subnucleoids," which contained viral DNA in combination with four polypeptides with molecular weights of 90,000, 68,000, 58,000 and 10,000. Biochemical and electron microscopic studies showed that viral DNA in combination with these polypeptides was maintained in a superhelical configuration. When subnucleoids were "fixed" with glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde and then examined by electron microscopy, spherical particles were observed, in which the supercoiled DNA was folded into globular structures that were 20 to 60 nm in diameter and were interconnected by DNA-protein fibers resembling the nucleosome structures described for eucaryotic chromatin.

Abstract
Nucleoprotein complexes, containing proteins covalently bound to DNA, were prepared from vaccinia virions irradiated with ultraviolet light. In the electron microscope, these complexes were observed to have a spherical morphology with a densely staining central portion, apparently containing proteins cross-linked to DNA, from which loops or fibers of DNA or DNA complexed with protein emerged.

Abstract
The sequential expression of a vaccinia virus specific antigen on the surface of infected cells has been followed by 125I-labelled anti-vaccinia IgG. After an initial drop (during the first 30 minutes of infection) the amount of viral antigen at the cell surface increased steadily for the 12 hours tested. The expression of the antigen was found to depend on protein and RNA synthesis from the start, but dependent on DNA synthesis only after 4 hours. The senitivity of the phenomenon to ultraviolet light irradiation of the virus suggests that the genetic information needed for the expression of the antigen resides in the viral genome. The antigen has been identified as the virion surface tubule, a tubule-like structure on the surface of the intact virion. It is known that vaccinia virus infection of cells starts with the fusion of the virion envelope with the host plasma membrane. It is here proposed that initially tubule from input virus is detected as viral antigen on the cell surface. Subsequently, virus tubule protein synthesised de novo migrates and is detectable as the virus specific cell surface antigen.

Abstract
By 2 h postinfection, LM cells infected with vaccinia virus show a shift in their distribution when separated on a Ficoll density gradient. This shift is dependent on both time and the multiplicity of infection and is due, at least in part, to an increase in cell size. Those cells which do shift in position in the gradient represent infected members of the population. Physical changes induced in virus-infected cells can be utilized for studying early events in virus replication.
