Deleting UL49.5 in duck plague virus causes attachment, entry and spread defects. Vet Microbiol 2023; 280:109707.

Abstract
Duck plague is a disease with high morbidity and mortality rates, and it causes great losses for the duck breeding industry. Duck plague virus (DPV) is the causative agent of duck plague, and DPV UL49.5 protein (pUL49.5) is homologue of glycoprotein N (gN), which is conserved in herpesviruses. UL49.5 homologues are known to be involved in processes such as immune escape, virus assembly, viral fusion, transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) inhibition and degradation, and maturation and incorporation of glycoprotein M. However, few studies have focused on the role of gN in the early stage of virus infection cells. In this study, we determined that DPV pUL49.5 was distributed in the cytoplasm and colocalized with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Moreover, we found that DPV pUL49.5 was a virion component and nonglycosylated protein. To better explore its function, BAC-DPV-ΔUL49.5 was constructed, and its attachment was only approximately 25 % of the revertant virus. Additionally, the penetration ability of BAC-DPV-ΔUL49.5 has only reached 73 % of the revertant virus. The plaque sizes produced by the UL49.5-deleted virus were approximately 58 % smaller than those produced by the revertant virus. Deleting UL49.5 mainly resulted in attachment and cell-to-cell-spread defects. Taken together, these findings suggest important roles for DPV pUL49.5 in viral attachment, penetration and spread.

Molecular association of herpes simplex virus type 1 glycoprotein E with membrane protein Us9. Arch Virol 2016; 161:3203-13.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein E (gE), glycoprotein I (gI), and Us9 promote efficient anterograde axonal transport of virus from the neuron cytoplasm to the axon terminus. HSV-1 and PRV gE and gI form a heterodimer that is required for anterograde transport, but an association that includes Us9 has not been demonstrated. NS-gE380 is an HSV-1 mutant that has five amino acids inserted after gE residue 380, rendering it defective in anterograde axonal transport. We demonstrated that gE, gI and Us9 form a trimolecular complex in Vero cells infected with NS-gE380 virus in which gE binds to both Us9 and gI. We detected the complex using immunoprecipitation with anti-gE or anti-gI monoclonal antibodies in the presence of ionic detergents. Under these conditions, Us9 did not associate with gE in cells infected with wild-type HSV-1; however, using a nonionic detergent, TritonX-100, an association between Us9 and gE was detected in immunoprecipitates of both wild-type and NS-gE380-infected cells. The results suggest that the interaction between Us9 and gE is weak and disrupted by ionic detergents in wild-type infected cells. We postulate that the tight interaction between Us9 and gE leads to the anterograde spread defect in the NS-gE380 virus.

Abstract
Canine herpesvirus is a widespread alphaherpesvirus that causes a fatal haemorrhagic disease of neonatal puppies. We have used high-throughput methods to determine the genome sequences of three viral strains (0194, V777 and V1154) isolated in the United Kingdom between 1985 and 2000. The sequences are very closely related to each other. The canine herpesvirus genome is estimated to be 125 kbp in size and consists of a unique long sequence (97.5 kbp) and a unique short sequence (7.7 kbp) that are each flanked by terminal and internal inverted repeats (38 bp and 10.0 kbp, respectively). The overall nucleotide composition is 31.6% G+C, which is the lowest among the completely sequenced alphaherpesviruses. The genome contains 76 open reading frames predicted to encode functional proteins, all of which have counterparts in other alphaherpesviruses. The availability of the sequences will facilitate future research on the diagnosis and treatment of canine herpesvirus-associated disease.

Abstract
Anterograde neuronal spread (i.e., spread from the neuron cell body toward the axon terminus) is a critical component of the alphaherpesvirus life cycle. Three viral proteins, gE, gI, and Us9, have been implicated in alphaherpesvirus anterograde spread in several animal models and neuron culture systems. We sought to better define the roles of gE, gI, and Us9 in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) anterograde spread using a compartmentalized primary neuron culture system. We found that no anterograde spread occurred in the absence of gE or gI, indicating that these proteins are essential for HSV-1 anterograde spread. However, we did detect anterograde spread in the absence of Us9 using two independent Us9-deleted viruses. We confirmed the Us9 finding in different murine models of neuronal spread. We examined viral transport into the optic nerve and spread to the brain after retinal infection; the production of zosteriform disease after flank inoculation; and viral spread to the spinal cord after flank inoculation. In all models, anterograde spread occurred in the absence of Us9, although in some cases at reduced levels. This finding contrasts with gE- and gI-deleted viruses, which displayed no anterograde spread in any animal model. Thus, gE and gI are essential for HSV-1 anterograde spread, while Us9 is dispensable.

Abstract
We report the complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of nine genes of an Australian isolate of canine herpesvirus (CHV). Four of them are located in the unique short (US) region: glycoprotein (g) genes gG, gD and gI, and the protein kinase gene. Five are in the unique long (UL) region: the thymidine kinase gene, gB, gC, gH, and gene homologue UL24. Partial sequence was determined for four genes, two in the UL region (UL21 and virion protein) and two in the US region (US2 and gE). A repeat sequence of 382 nt with unknown function was identified in the 615 nt intergenic region between gH and UL21. A total of 16.93 kb was sequenced and compared with sequences from CHV isolates from the USA, France, Japan and Australia. Only minor nt and/or amino acid (aa) differences were observed.

Abstract
Canine herpesvirus (CHV) ORF2, located downstream of the glycoprotein C (gC) gene, has homologues with some of the alphaherpesviruses. To characterize CHV OFR2, a recombinant CHV carrying a LacZ gene in the ORF2 locus, and recombinant vaccinia virus expressing ORF2 protein were constructed. Northern blot analysis revealed ORF2 and a gamma2 class late gene, and its protein product was detectable in CHV-infected cells reacted with ORF2 protein antiserum. Tunicamycin and N-glycosidase F treatment revealed that the ORF2 protein was modified by N-linked glycosylation. Fractionation and immune fluorescence analyses of the CHV-infected cells showed the ORF2 as a membrane protein transportable to the surface of infected cells. In vitro, the ORF2 protein did not affect viral replication and cell-to-cell viral spreading. Present findings represent the first evidence pointing to the CHV ORF2 as a membrane protein modified by an N-linked glycosylation.

Abstract
Glycoproteins gE and gG of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) are involved in viral cell-to-cell transmission. We have compared the subcellular localizations of gE and gG and examined the cell-to-cell adherence of bovine kidney (MDBK) cells infected with BHV-1 mutants lacking gE or gG. In BHV-1-infected MDBK cells, gE was observed at cell junctions but did not localize at apical or basal plasma membranes. BHV-1 gG was primarily found in the cytoplasm and was also observed at boundaries among infected cells. During the infection with wild-type or gE-negative BHV-1, the filamentous actin and the adherent junctional proteins accumulated at the cell junctions. In contrast, cell junctions of MDBK cells infected with gG-negative BHV-1 were loosened, and the junctional proteins and BHV-1 gE were distributed in the cytoplasm. These data indicate that BHV-1 gG facilitates viral cell-to-cell spread by maintaining the cell-to-cell junctions among the infected cells.

Abstract
In order to identify the role of the equine herpesvirus type 4 (EHV-4) glycoprotein I (gI) and E (gE) genes in determining viral virulence and their affect on the infection cycle, we constructed an EHV-4 recombinant strain containing a deletion in both gI and gE genes and its revertant. The recombinant was assayed in vitro in order to compare its growth kinetics with the parent and revertant viruses. Our results indicated that a deletion in the genes encoding gI and gE affected cell-to-cell spread of the virus in vitro. In order to assess the pathogenicity and vaccine efficacy of the recombinant in a natural host, colostrum-deprived foals were inoculated intranasally with the recombinant. Clinical signs obtained in foals upon the inoculation with the recombinant were milder than that for the revertant. This suggests that intact gI and/or gE genes are important factors in the expression of virulence in EHV-4 as in seen in the case of other herpesviruses. In addition, full protection against challenge infection was observed in foals, which had undergone a previous inoculation of the recombinant.

Abstract
A recombinant canine herpesvirus (CHV) which expressed glycoprotein B (gB) of pseudorabies virus (PrV) was constructed. The antigenicity of the PrV gB expressed by the recombinant CHV is similar to that of the native PrV. The expressed PrV gB was shown to be transported to the surface of infected cells as judged by an indirected immunofluorescence test. Antibodies raised in mice immunized with the recombinant CHV neutralized the infectivity of PrV in vitro. It is known that the authentic PrV gB exists as a glycoprotein complex, which consists of gBa, gBb and gBc. In MDCK cells, PrV gB expressed by the recombinant CHV was processed like authentic PrV gB, suggesting that the cleavage mechanism of PrV gB depends on a functional cleavage domain from PrV gB gene and protease from infected cells.

Abstract
In cells infected with canine herpesvirus (CHV), the mature form of glycoprotein E (gE) had a molecular weight of 94 kDa, and that of glycoprotein I (gI) had a broad range of molecular weights of 55-62 kDa. gE and gI formed a complex like gE and gI of other alphaherpesviruses. When cells were infected with the gI minus mutant of CHV (gI/Z), the mature form of the 94 kDa gE was not formed, but a 76 kDa gE polypeptide was found. Similarly, no mature gI was formed in cells infected with the gE minus mutant of CHV (gE/Z), but a 40 kDa gI polypeptide was formed. When cells were coinfected with gE/Z and gI/Z, the molecular masses of gE and gI were increased from 76 to 94 kDa and from 40 to 55-62 kDa, respectively. We constructed vaccinia virus recombinants which expressed CHV gE or CHV gI. Only when cells were coinfected with both the vaccinia recombinant which expressed gE and the vaccinia recombinant which expressed gI, gE and gI were processed into their mature forms. Our results suggest that the presence of both gE and gI is necessary for efficient processing of the precursors of gE and gI to their mature forms.
