Influenza A Virus M1 Protein Non-Specifically Deforms Charged Lipid Membranes and Specifically Interacts with the Raft Boundary. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:76. [PMID: 36676883 PMCID: PMC9864314 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13010076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Topological rearrangements of biological membranes, such as fusion and fission, often require a sophisticated interplay between different proteins and cellular membranes. However, in the case of fusion proteins of enveloped viruses, even one molecule can execute membrane restructurings. Growing evidence indicates that matrix proteins of enveloped viruses can solely trigger the membrane bending required for another crucial step in virogenesis, the budding of progeny virions. For the case of the influenza A virus matrix protein M1, different studies report both in favor and against M1 being able to produce virus-like particles without other viral proteins. Here, we investigated the physicochemical mechanisms of M1 membrane activity on giant unilamellar vesicles of different lipid compositions using fluorescent confocal microscopy. We confirmed that M1 predominantly interacts electrostatically with the membrane, and its ability to deform the lipid bilayer is non-specific and typical for membrane-binding proteins and polypeptides. However, in the case of phase-separating membranes, M1 demonstrates a unique ability to induce macro-phase separation, probably due to the high affinity of M1's amphipathic helices to the raft boundary. Thus, we suggest that M1 is tailored to deform charged membranes with a specific activity in the case of phase-separating membranes.

Abstract
Measles virus, Nipah virus, and multiple other paramyxoviruses cause disease outbreaks in humans and animals worldwide. The paramyxovirus matrix (M) protein mediates virion assembly and budding from host cell membranes. M is thus a key target for antivirals, but few high-resolution structures of paramyxovirus M are available, and we lack the clear understanding of how viral M proteins interact with membrane lipids to mediate viral assembly and egress that is needed to guide antiviral design. Here, we reveal that M proteins associate with phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] at the plasma membrane. Using x-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, and molecular dynamics, we demonstrate that PI(4,5)P2 binding induces conformational and electrostatic changes in the M protein surface that trigger membrane deformation, matrix layer polymerization, and virion assembly.

Abstract
Over the past few years, the attention of the whole world has been riveted to the emergence of new dangerous strains of viruses, among which a special place is occupied by coronaviruses that have overcome the interspecies barrier in the past 20 years: SARS viruses (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), as well as a new coronavirus infection (SARS-CoV-2), which caused the largest pandemic since the Spanish flu in 1918. Coronaviruses are members of a class of enveloped viruses that have a lipoprotein envelope. This class also includes such serious pathogens as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis, Ebola virus, influenza, etc. Despite significant differences in the clinical picture of the course of disease caused by enveloped viruses, they themselves have a number of characteristic features, which determine their commonality. Regardless of the way of penetration into the cell—by endocytosis or direct fusion with the cell membrane—enveloped viruses are characterized by the following stages of interaction with the target cell: binding to receptors on the cell surface, interaction of the surface glycoproteins of the virus with the membrane structures of the infected cell, fusion of the lipid envelope of the virion with plasma or endosomal membrane, destruction of the protein capsid and its dissociation from the viral nucleoprotein. Subsequently, within the infected cell, the newly synthesized viral proteins must self-assemble on various membrane structures to form a progeny virion. Thus, both the initial stages of viral infection and the assembly and release of new viral particles are associated with the activity of viral proteins in relation to the cell membrane and its organelles. This review is devoted to the analysis of physicochemical mechanisms of functioning of the main structural proteins of a number of enveloped viruses in order to identify possible strategies for the membrane activity of such proteins at various stages of viral infection of the cell.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an enveloped paramyxovirus. The matrix protein of the virus (M-NDV) has an innate propensity to produce virus-like particles budding from the plasma membrane of the expressing cell without recruiting other viral proteins. The virus predominantly infects the host cell via fusion with the host plasma membrane or, alternatively, can use receptor-mediated endocytic pathways. The question arises as to what are the mechanisms supporting such diversity, especially concerning the assembling and membrane binding properties of the virus protein scaffold under both neutral and acidic pH conditions. Here, we suggest a novel method of M-NDV isolation in physiological ionic strength and employ a combination of small-angle X-ray scattering, atomic force microscopy with complementary structural techniques, and membrane interaction measurements to characterize the solution behavior/structure of the protein as well as its binding to lipid membranes at pH 4.0 and pH 7.0. We demonstrate that the minimal structural unit of the protein in solution is a dimer that spontaneously assembles in a neutral milieu into hollow helical oligomers by repeating the protein tetramers. Acidic pH conditions decrease the protein oligomerization state to the individual dimers, tetramers, and octamers without changing the density of the protein layer and lipid membrane affinity, thus indicating that the endocytic pathway is a possible facilitator of NDV entry into a host cell through enhanced scaffold disintegration.IMPORTANCE The matrix protein of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is one of the most abundant viral proteins that regulates the formation of progeny virions. NDV is an avian pathogen that impacts the economics of bird husbandry due to its resulting morbidity and high mortality rates. Moreover, it belongs to the Avulavirus subfamily of the Paramyxoviridae family of Mononegavirales that include dangerous representatives such as respiratory syncytial virus, human parainfluenza virus, and measles virus. Here, we investigate the solution structure and membrane binding properties of this protein at both acidic and neutral pH to distinguish between possible virus entry pathways and propose a mechanism of assembly of the viral matrix scaffold. This work is fundamental for understanding the mechanisms of viral entry as well as to inform subsequent proposals for the possible use of the virus as an adequate template for future drug or vaccine delivery.

Abstract
Minigenomes (MGs) are complementary DNAs of the synthetic analogs of genomic RNA. MGs are widely used to study the life cycle of the Paramyxoviridae family of viruses. MG-based studies have provided valuable insights into the mechanisms of viral replication and transcription in this family, including the roles of viral proteins, the location and boundaries of the cis-acting elements, the functional domains of trans-acting proteins, techniques for the measurement of neutralizing antibody, virus-host interactions, and the structure and function of viral RNA. This article provides a brief overview of the principle and application of MG technology in studies involving members of the Paramyxoviridae family. The advantages, potential limitations, and future scope of MG technology are also discussed.

Abstract
Virus-like particles (VLPs) released from avian cells expressing the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain AV proteins NP, M, HN (hemagglutinin-neuraminidase), and F were characterized. The VLP-associated HN and F glycoproteins directed the attachment of VLPs to cell surfaces and fusion of VLP membranes with red blood cell membranes, indicating that they were assembled into VLPs in an authentic conformation. These particles were quantitatively prepared and used as an immunogen, without adjuvant, in BALB/c mice. The resulting immune responses, detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), virus neutralization, and intracellular cytokine staining, were comparable to the responses to equivalent amounts of inactivated NDV vaccine virus. HN and F proteins from another strain of NDV, strain B1, could be incorporated into these VLPs. Foreign peptides were incorporated into these VLPs when fused to the NP or HN protein. The ectodomain of a foreign glycoprotein, the Nipah virus G protein, fused to the NDV HN protein cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains was incorporated into ND VLPs. Thus, ND VLPs are a potential NDV vaccine candidate. They may also serve as a platform to construct vaccines for other pathogens.

Abstract
The matrix protein (M) of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the prototype viral member of the Pneumovirinae (family Paramyxoviridae, order Mononegavirales), has been crystallized and the structure determined to a resolution of 1.6 A. The structure comprises 2 compact beta-rich domains connected by a relatively unstructured linker region. Due to the high degree of side-chain order in the structure, an extensive contiguous area of positive surface charge covering approximately 600 A(2) can be resolved. This unusually large patch of positive surface potential spans both domains and the linker, and provides a mechanism for driving the interaction of the protein with a negatively-charged membrane surface or other virion components such as the nucleocapsid. This patch is complemented by regions of high hydrophobicity and a striking planar arrangement of tyrosine residues encircling the C-terminal domain. Comparison of the RSV M sequence with other members of the Pneumovirinae shows that regions of divergence correspond to surface exposed loops in the M structure, with the majority of viral species-specific differences occurring in the N-terminal domain.

Abstract
The shape of enveloped viruses depends critically on an internal protein matrix, yet it remains unclear how the matrix proteins control the geometry of the envelope membrane. We found that matrix proteins purified from Newcastle disease virus adsorb on a phospholipid bilayer and condense into fluidlike domains that cause membrane deformation and budding of spherical vesicles, as seen by fluorescent and electron microscopy. Measurements of the electrical admittance of the membrane resolved the gradual growth and rapid closure of a bud followed by its separation to form a free vesicle. The vesicle size distribution, confined by intrinsic curvature of budding domains, but broadened by their merger, matched the virus size distribution. Thus, matrix proteins implement domain-driven mechanism of budding, which suffices to control the shape of these proteolipid vesicles.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus is the major respiratory pathogen of infants and children worldwide, with no effective treatment or vaccine available. Steady progress has been made in understanding the respiratory syncytial virus life cycle and the consequences of infection, but many areas of respiratory syncytial virus biology remain poorly understood, including the role of subcellular localisation of respiratory syncytial virus gene products such as the matrix protein in the infected host cell. The matrix protein plays a central role in viral assembly and, intriguingly, has been observed to traffic into and out of the nucleus at specific times during the respiratory syncytial virus infectious cycle. Further, the matrix protein has been shown to be able to inhibit transcription, which may be a key to respiratory syncytial virus pathogenesis. This review will focus on the role of the matrix protein in respiratory syncytial virus infection and what is known of its nucleocytoplasmic trafficking, the understanding of which may lead to new therapeutic approaches to combat respiratory syncytial virus, and/or vaccine development.

Abstract
Cellular tubulin has been shown to activate in vitro transcription with Sendai virus (SeV) particles. In this study, the molecular basis for the transcriptional activation by tubulin was investigated. We showed that tubulin dissociates viral matrix (M) protein, which acts as a negative regulator for transcription, from viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) consisting of L, P, N proteins, and the genome RNA. Both alpha and beta subunits of human tubulin, which were expressed as GST fusion proteins, were found to stimulate viral mRNA synthesis similar to native alpha/beta-heterodimer tubulin. Pull-down assay using GST-tubulin subunits demonstrated that M protein is released from the RNP as a complex with each tubulin subunit. In vitro-binding analyses revealed that M protein directly interacts with tubulin as well as microtubules. These findings suggest that interaction of M protein with tubulin may have an important role in the regulation of SeV transcription.

Abstract
Negative-strand RNA virus particles are formed by a process that includes the assembly of viral components at the plasma membranes of infected cells and the subsequent release of particles by budding. Here, we review recent progress that has been made in understanding the mechanisms of negative-strand RNA virus assembly and bud- ding. Important topics for discussion include the key role played by the viral matrix proteins in assembly of viruses and viruslike particles, as well as roles played by additional viral components such as the viral glycoproteins. Various interactions that contribute to virus assembly are discussed, including interactions between matrix proteins and membranes, interactions between matrix proteins and glycoproteins, interactions between matrix proteins and nucleocapsids, and interactions that lead to matrix protein self-assembly. Selection of specific sites on plasma membranes to be used for virus assembly and budding is described, including the asymmetric budding of some viruses in polarized epithelial cells and assembly of viral components in lipid raft microdomains. Evidence for the involvement of cellular proteins in the late stages of rhabdovirus and filovirus budding is discussed as well as the possible involvement of similar host factors in the late stages of budding of other negative-strand RNA viruses.

Abstract
The interaction of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) Matrix (M) protein with the plasma membrane was investigated using polyclonal and monoclonal antisera raised against recombinant M expressed in bacteria. M bound mainly to the plasma membrane, although a significant proportion bound to internal membranes. However, no localisation of M with the Golgi was observed, suggesting that transport of M to the plasma membrane was independent of the transport mechanism for the viral glycoproteins. Expression from a recombinant baculovirus demonstrated the ability of M to bind membranes in the absence of viral glycoprotein expression. When cell-surface expression of the viral glycoproteins was prevented using Brefeldin A, M was still found in association with the plasma membrane, but the characteristics of M's membrane-binding ability were different to that found in untreated infected cells. In the presence of normal glycoprotein expression, M was sorted into lipid rafts and, in addition, formed structures that could only be disrupted by treatment with high salt buffers, a feature suggesting an interaction with the cytoskeleton or the formation of strong intramolecular associations. Brefeldin A prevented M from being sorted into lipid rafts or from forming strong intramolecular associations. Brefeldin A also affected the stability of M bound to the plasma membrane, as M was more readily dissociated in the presence of the inhibitor. Coexpression of M and F resulted in the incorporation of M into lipid rafts but did not cause the formation of the strong intramolecular bonds, suggesting that additional factors are required for this phenomena.

Abstract
The matrix protein VP40 of Ebola virus is believed to play a central role in viral assembly as it targets the plasma membrane of infected cells and subsequently forms a tightly packed layer on the inner side of the viral envelope. Expression of VP40 in Escherichia coli and subsequent proteolysis yielded two structural variants differing by a C-terminal truncation 114 amino acid residues long. As indicated by chemical cross-linking studies and electron microscopy, the larger polypeptide was present in a monomeric form, whereas the truncated one formed hexamers. When analyzed for their in vitro binding properties, both constructs showed that only monomeric VP40 efficiently associated with membranes containing negatively charged lipids. Membrane association of truncated, hexameric VP40 was inefficient, indicating a membrane-recognition role for the C-terminal part. Based on these observations we propose that assembly of Ebola virus involves the formation of VP40 hexamers that is mediated by the N-terminal part of the polypeptide.

Abstract
Enveloped viruses mature by budding at cellular membranes. It has been generally thought that this process is driven by interactions between the viral transmembrane proteins and the internal virion components (core, capsid, or nucleocapsid). This model was particularly applicable to alphaviruses, which require both spike proteins and a nucleocapsid for budding. However, genetic studies have clearly shown that the retrovirus core protein, i.e., the Gag protein, is able to form enveloped particles by itself. Also, budding of negative-strand RNA viruses (rhabdoviruses, orthomyxoviruses, and paramyxoviruses) seems to be accomplished mainly by internal components, most probably the matrix protein, since the spike proteins are not absolutely required for budding of these viruses either. In contrast, budding of coronavirus particles can occur in the absence of the nucleocapsid and appears to require two membrane proteins only. Biochemical and structural data suggest that the proteins, which play a key role in budding, drive this process by forming a three-dimensional (cage-like) protein lattice at the surface of or within the membrane. Similarly, recent electron microscopic studies revealed that the alphavirus spike proteins are also engaged in extensive lateral interactions, forming a dense protein shell at the outer surface of the viral envelope. On the basis of these data, we propose that the budding of enveloped viruses in general is governed by lateral interactions between peripheral or integral membrane proteins. This new concept also provides answers to the question of how viral and cellular membrane proteins are sorted during budding. In addition, it has implications for the mechanism by which the virion is uncoated during virus entry.

Abstract
A panel of 15 monoclonal antibodies (MABs) against matrix (M) protein of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was obtained and the specificity towards the M protein was proven by radioimmunoprecipitation assay and antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Further studies were directed to antigenic epitope mapping of the M protein by means of this panel. The epitope characterization was performed by competitive antibody-binding assay by means of labelling each MAB with biotin [3]. At least three clear non-overlapping and two partially overlapping groups were determined, each including four, one, eight, one, and one MAB, respectively. All the above MABs appeared to be induced by structural epitopes formed in conditions of tertiary structure of the native M antigen. Twelve reference and 51 recently isolated local NDV strains have been studied by means of this MAB panel, several lineages having been revealed. The high stability of some epitopes and different variability of the others was demonstrated. No correlation between the above lineages and some other properties of the studied NDV strains (host specificity, date and place of isolation) has been found.

Abstract
The interferon (IFN)-inducing capacities of intact NDV virions, beta-propiolactone-inactivated particles and several structural components were compared, using human PBML as the IFN producing cells. Intact and inactivated virions as well as the nucleocapsid fraction did not differ significantly in their IFN-inducing capacity. In contrast, genomic RNA as well as M protein fraction and envelopes induced IFN titres to a level of about 10% of those achieved with virions. NDV-induced IFN production could be blocked specifically by incubation with polyclonal anti-NDV-monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and with two of three anti-HN-mAbs, but not with anti-NDV-mAbs directed against the F, M or NP protein. In addition, IFN induction by fixed MDBK cells, expressing NDV surface proteins after infection with NDV Ulster, was inhibited by one of two anti-F-mAbs. The results suggest that the induction of IFN synthesis in human PBML is a complex process involving not only the HN protein but also the uncleaved F protein precursor, a component of the M protein fraction and--once having entered the cell--the genomic RNA.

Abstract
We have analyzed the mechanism by which M protein interacts with components of the viral envelope during Sendai virus assembly. Using recombinant vaccinia viruses to selectively express combinations of Sendai virus F, HN, and M proteins, we have successfully reconstituted M protein-glycoprotein interaction in vivo and determined the molecular interactions which are necessary and sufficient to promote M protein-membrane binding. Our results showed that M protein accumulates on cellular membranes via a direct interaction with both F and HN proteins. Specifically, our data demonstrated that a small fraction (8 to 16%) of M protein becomes membrane associated in the absence of Sendai virus glycoproteins, while > 75% becomes membrane bound in the presence of both F and HN proteins. Selective expression of M protein together with either F or HN protein showed that each viral glycoprotein is individually sufficient to promote efficient (56 to 73%) M protein-membrane binding. Finally, we observed that M protein associates with cellular membranes in a time-dependent manner, implying a need for either maturation or transport before binding to glycoproteins.

Abstract
We have examined the relative ability of Sendai virus M (matrix) protein to associate with membranes containing viral glycoproteins at three distinct stages of the exocytic pathway prior to cell surface appearance. By the use of selective low-temperature incubations or the ionophore monensin, the transport of newly synthesized viral glycoproteins was restricted to either the pre-Golgi intermediate compartment (by incubation at 15 degrees C), the medial Golgi (in the presence of monensin), or the trans-Golgi network (by incubation at 20 degrees C). All three of these treatments resulted in a marked accumulation of the M protein on perinuclear Golgi-like membranes which in each case directly reflected the distribution of the viral F protein. Subsequent redistribution of the F protein to the plasma membrane by removal of the low-temperature (20 degrees C) block resulted in a concomitant redistribution of the M protein, thus implying association of the two components during intracellular transit. The extent of M protein-glycoprotein association was further examined by cell fractionation studies performed under each of the three restrictive conditions. Following equilibrium sedimentation of membranes derived from monensin-treated cells, approximately 40% of the recovered M protein was found to cofractionate with membranes containing the viral glycoproteins. Also, by flotation analyses, a comparable subpopulation of M protein was found to be membrane associated whether viral glycoproteins were restricted to the trans-Golgi network, the medial Golgi, or the pre-Golgi intermediate compartment. Additionally, transient expression of M protein alone from cloned cDNA showed that neither membrane association nor Golgi localization occurs in the absence of Sendai virus glycoproteins.

Abstract
The matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a major structural component of the virion which is generally believed to bridge between the membrane envelope and the ribonucleocapsid (RNP) core. To investigate the interaction of M protein with cellular membranes in the absence of other VSV proteins, we examined its distribution by subcellular fractionation after expression in HeLa cells. Approximately 90% of M protein, expressed without other viral proteins, was soluble, whereas the remaining 10% was tightly associated with membranes. A similar distribution in VSV-infected cells has been observed previously. Conditions known to release peripherally associated membrane proteins did not detach M protein from isolated membranes. Membrane-associated M protein was soluble in the detergent Triton X-114, whereas soluble M protein was not, suggesting a chemical or conformational difference between the two forms. Membranes containing associated M protein were able to bind RNP cores, whereas membranes lacking M protein were not. We suggest that this membrane-bound M fraction constitutes a functional subset of M protein molecules required for the attachment of RNP cores to membranes during normal virus budding.

Abstract
The completed sequence of the arenavirus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, revealed a new gene encoding a small protein with a single zinc-binding domain. The cDNA for this gene has been expressed in E. coli to produce fusion protein that has been used to raise antisera. The antisera facilitated the positive identification of the p11 'Z' gene product as a structural component of the virion. A related arenavirus, Tacaribe, has a comparable p11 gene product. The abundance of the p11 Z protein relative to other virion components has been determined by metabolic labeling. Triton X-114 extraction and dimethyl suberimidate-HCl crosslinking indicate that the p11 Z protein is a hydrophobic protein associated with the nucleocapsid of the virion core.

Abstract
Several biochemical properties and the sequence of the fusion glycoprotein (F) have indicated that turkey rhinotracheitis virus (TRTV) is a pneumovirus, subfamily Pneumovirinae of the Paramyxoviridae family. As TRTV was known to generate polycistronic mRNAs, cDNA was generated from TRTV strain UK/3BV/85-infected Vero cell mRNAs using an oligonucleotide primer corresponding to a region of the F gene. Sequencing of four cDNAs revealed that the gene adjacent to the beginning (3' end) of the F gene was that for the matrix (M) protein, i.e., that TRTV had the partial gene order 3'-M-F-5'. This was unexpected as human respiratory syncytial (RS) virus, the type species of the genus Pneumovirus, has the partial gene order 3'-M-SH-G-F-5', where SH and G are the small hydrophobic protein and attachment glycoprotein, respectively. Instead TRTV resembled the Morbillivirus and Paramyxovirus genera of the Paramyxoviridae (subfamily Paramyxovirinae) which have the partial gene order 3'-M-F-5'. Two further oligonucleotides, one corresponding to a sequence near the end of the M gene and the other (oligo B) to a sequence near the beginning of the F gene, with their 5' ends spaced 300 nucleotides apart on the basis of the cDNA sequence, were used in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using genomic RNA as template. Only a PCR product of 0.3 kb was obtained. The same sized product was also obtained using these oligonucleotides and genomic RNA from three other TRTV strains (SA/91/78, UK/8544/85, and SA/2381/88) which had been grown in chicken tracheal organ cultures. In addition PCR was performed using genomic RNA from TRTV-3BV and SA/2381/88 with oligo B and another oligonucleotide near the 5' end of the gene upstream from M, spaced 1141 nucleotides apart on the basis of the sequence data. Only a 1.14-kb PCR product was obtained. Larger products would have been expected if another gene had been situated between M and F. The absence of such larger products, plus the demonstration that infected cells contained M-F dicistronic mRNAs, supported the conclusion that in the TRTV genome the M gene is adjacent to the F gene in the order 3'-M-F-5'. The 5' termini of the M and F mRNAs were confirmed by mRNA mapping. The TRTV M gene encoded a protein of 254 amino acids, very similar to that of RS virus (256 residues; 37% amino acid identity) but very different from that of the morbilliviruses and paramyxoviruses (approximately 350 residues).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Enveloped viruses, of which the orthomyxo- and paramyxoviruses are members, are known to be uncoated by nonionic detergents in a salt concentration-dependent manner. In this study we have shown that detergent uncoating of myxoviruses depends not only on salt concentration but also on pH. Treatment of orthomyxoviruses with Nonidet-P40 or Triton N-101 at low salt concentrations results in solubilization of surface virion glycopolypeptides in alkaline and neutral pH (9.0-6.5), but in acidic pH (6.0-5.0) the viral matrix protein M1 is also removed, and the viral ribonucleoprotein complex is released. Conversely, the paramyxovirus matrix protein M is more completely solubilized in alkaline pH (pH 9.0) than in neutral and acidic pH 7.4-5.0. The described pH-dependent differences are discussed in terms of orthomyxo- and paramyxovirus uncoating in target cells.

Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of the membrane (M) protein gene of the paramyxovirus simian virus 5 (SV5) was determined from cDNA clones of viral mRNAs. The M gene boundaries were determined by (i) primer extension sequencing on M mRNA; (ii) nuclease S1 analysis; and (iii) primer extension sequencing on viral genomic RNA. The M gene mRNA consisted of 1371 templated nucleotides. It contains a single large open reading frame that can encode a protein of 377 amino acids with a predicted Mr = 42,253. The authenticity of the predicted M protein coding sequence was confirmed by synthesis of the M protein from mRNA synthesized from cDNA. The predicted M amino acid sequence indicated it is an overall hydrophobic protein carrying a net positive charge. Alignment of the SV5 protein amino acid sequence with the M protein sequences of other paramyxoviruses indicated that these viruses fall into the following two groups: (1) SV5, mumps virus, and Newcastle disease virus; or (2) Sendai, parainfluenza virus type 3, measles virus, and canine distemper virus, with mumps virus M sequence being the most closely related to SV5.

Abstract
The peripheral membrane M protein of vesicular stomatitis virus purified by detergent extraction of virions and ion-exchange chromatography was determined to be a monomer in the absence of detergent at high salt concentrations. Reduction of the ionic strength below 0.2 M resulted in a rapid aggregation of M protein. This self-association was reversible by the detergent Triton X-100 even in low salt. However, aggregation was not reversible by high salt concentration alone. M protein is initially synthesized as a soluble protein in the cytosol of infected cells, thus raising the question of how the solubility of M protein is maintained at physiological ionic strength. Addition of radiolabeled M protein purified from virions to unlabeled cytosol from either infected or uninfected cells inhibited the self-association reaction. Cytosolic fractions from infected or uninfected cells were equally effective at preventing the self-association of M protein. Self-association could also be prevented by an irrelevant protein such as bovine serum albumin. Sedimentation velocity analysis indicated that most of the newly synthesized M protein is monomeric, suggesting that the solubility of M protein in the cytosol is maintained by either low-affinity interaction with macromolecules in the cytosol or interaction of a small population of M-protein molecules with cytosolic components.
