Abstract
Viruses exploit cellular machinery to gain entry and initiate their replication cycle within host cells. The development of methods to visualize virus entry in live cells has provided new insights to the cellular processes involved in virus entry and the intracellular locations where viral payloads are deposited. The use of fluorescently labeled virus and high-resolution microscopy is currently the method of choice to study virus entry in live cells. While fluorescent protein fusions (e.g. viral proteins fused to GFP) have been used, the labeling of viral proteins that contain a small tetracysteine (tc) tag with biarsenical fluorescent compounds (e.g. FlAsH, ReAsH, Lumio-x) offers several advantages over conventional xFP-fusion constructs. This article describes methods for generating fluorescently labeled viruses encoding tc-tagged proteins that are suitable for the study of virus entry in live cells by fluorescence microscopy. Critical parameters required to quantify fluorescence signals from the labeled, tc-tagged proteins in individual virus particles during the entry process and the subsequent fate of the labeled viral proteins after virus uncoating are also described.

Abstract
Rhabdoviruses are a diverse, widely-distributed group of enveloped viruses that assemble and bud from the plasma membrane of host cells. Recent advances in the identification of domains on both the envelope glycoprotein and the matrix protein of rhabdoviruses that contribute to virus assembly and release have allowed us to refine current models of rhabdovirus budding and to describe in better detail the interplay between both viral and cellular components involved in the budding process. In this review we discuss the steps involved in rhabdovirus assembly beginning with genome encapsidation and the association of nucleocapsid-matrix protein pre-assembly complexes with the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, how condensation of these complexes may occur, how microdomains containing the envelope glycoprotein facilitate bud site formation, and how multiple forms of the matrix protein may participate in virion extrusion and release.

Abstract
Membrane proteins, including viral envelope glycoproteins, may be organized into areas of locally high concentration, commonly referred to as membrane microdomains. Some viruses bud from detergent-resistant microdomains referred to as lipid rafts. However, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) serves as a prototype for viruses that bud from areas of plasma membrane that are not detergent resistant. We developed a new analytical method for immunoelectron microscopy data to determine whether the VSV envelope glycoprotein (G protein) is organized into plasma membrane microdomains. This method was used to quantify the distribution of the G protein in microdomains in areas of plasma membrane that did not contain budding sites. These microdomains were compared to budding virus envelopes to address the question of whether G protein-containing microdomains were formed only at the sites of budding. At early times postinfection, most of the G protein was organized into membrane microdomains outside of virus budding sites that were approximately 100-150 nm, with smaller amounts distributed into larger microdomains. In contrast to early times postinfection, the increased level of G protein in the host plasma membrane at later times postinfection led to distribution of G protein among membrane microdomains of a wider variety of sizes, rather than a higher G protein concentration in the 100- to 150-nm microdomains. VSV budding occurred in G protein-containing microdomains with a range of sizes, some of which were smaller than the virus envelope. These microdomains extended in size to a maximum of 300-400 nm from the tip of the budding virion. The data support a model for virus assembly in which G protein organizes into membrane microdomains that resemble virus envelopes prior to formation of budding sites, and these microdomains serve as the sites of assembly of internal virion components.

Abstract
We derived recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) expressing either influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) or neuraminidase (NA) glycoproteins from extra genes inserted in the viral genome. The HA protein was expressed from a site downstream of the VSV glycoprotein (G) gene, while NA protein was expressed from a site upstream of the VSV G gene. The HA protein was expressed at lower levels than the VSV G protein, while the NA protein was expressed at higher levels, as expected from the gradient of VSV transcription that follows the gene order. The HA and NA proteins were transported to the cell surface and were functional as demonstrated by hemadsorption, hemolysis, and NA assays. Biochemical analysis showed that both HA and NA proteins were incorporated into VSV particles at high levels, although there was a preference for incorporation of the VSV G protein over either of the influenza virus proteins. Immunoelectron microscopy of the recombinants showed that the particles derived from the recombinants were mosaics carrying both the VSV G protein and the influenza virus membrane glycoproteins. These results extend earlier studies showing incorporation of the cellular glycoprotein CD4 and two other viral glycoproteins into VSV particles. Our results indicate that there is significant space in the VSV membrane that can accommodate foreign membrane proteins and that the foreign protein can represent as much as 35% of the total protein in the viral envelope. Incorporation of foreign proteins into VSV virions can, in many cases, occur passively in the absence of specific incorporation signals.

Abstract
Vesicular stomatitis virus is an enveloped virus with an external glycoprotein G and a nucleocapsid that form, together with the M protein, a tight helically coiled structure: the skeleton. Negative staining and immunoelectron microscopy studies on skeleton preparations were performed to determine the localization of the M protein. These studies have resulted in a new model for the structure of rhabdoviruses in which the nucleocapsid is wound around a core containing the M protein. This model predicts contact between M and lipid only at the extreme ends of the skeleton, which is confirmed by skeleton-liposome binding studies.

Abstract
The membrane-reactive, photoactivatable probe 125I-TID [3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-[125I]iodophenyl)-3H-diazirine] was found to label the M protein of vesicular stomatitis virus about 40% as much as G protein in intact virions, in agreement with labeling studies with other probes. By analyzing limited tryptic digestion and specific chemical cleavage products, the label was essentially entirely localized within the first 19, and probably within the first 5 to 10, amino acid residues at the N terminus, identifying this short amphipathic segment as the likely site of interaction of M protein with the viral bilayer.

Abstract
The infectivity of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) was found to be markedly reduced by treating virions with the tertiary amine local anesthetics lidocaine, dibucaine and tetracaine. These treatments induced a characteristic shift in the buoyant density of the HSV-1 particles from a "light" to a "heavy" population. HSV-1 virions were unstable at alkaline pH, and alkali treatment caused the same shift in buoyant density. Ca2+ stabilized the "light" population. These results suggest that the physicochemical status of the HSV-1 envelope which is sensitive to the treatments described above plays an important role for the integrity of the virion.

Abstract
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
Oligodeoxyribonucleoside methylphosphonates which have sequences complementary to the initiation codon regions of N, NS, and G vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) mRNAs were tested for their ability to inhibit translation of VSV mRNA in a cell-free system and in VSV-infected mouse L cells. In a rabbit reticulocyte lysate cell-free system, the oligomers complementary to N (oligomer I) and NS (oligomer II) mRNAs inhibited translation of VSV N and NS mRNAs whereas oligomer III had only a slight inhibitory effect on N protein synthesis. At 100 and 150 microM, oligomer I specifically inhibited N protein synthesis in the lysate. In contrast, at 150 microM, oligomer II inhibited both N and NS protein synthesis. This reduced specificity of inhibition may be due to the formation of partial duplexes between oligomer II and VSV N mRNA. The oligomers had little or no inhibitory effects on the synthesis of globin mRNA in the same lysate system. Oligomers I-III specifically inhibited the synthesis of all five viral proteins in VSV-infected cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The oligomers had no effects on cellular protein synthesis in uninfected cells nor on cell growth. An oligothymidylate which forms only weak duplexes with poly(rA) had just a slight effect on VSV protein synthesis and yield of virus. Oligomers I-III have extensive partial complementarity with the coding regions of L mRNA. The nonspecific inhibition of viral protein synthesis in infected cells may reflect the role of N, NS, and/or L proteins in the replication and transcription of viral RNA or result from duplex formation between the oligomers and complementary, plus-strand viral RNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) appears to function as a bridge between the ribonucleocapsid (RNP) core and the envelope in assembly of the virion. Two such properties would necessitate at least one site for interaction with the nucleocapsid and one with the envelope. In this study M protein was found to mediate the in vitro binding to RNP cores of phospholipid vesicles, representing membrane structures. The M protein could bind initially to either the vesicles or the RNP cores to promote RNP-vesicle association. A trypsin-resistant fragment (MT) of M protein, missing the initial 43 amino acids from its amino terminus, reconstituted with acidic phospholipid vesicles with the same binding efficiency as did whole M protein, suggesting that the carboxy-terminal 81% retained those regions of the M protein which interact with a lipid bilayer. The MT protein, however, was considerably less efficient than intact M protein as an inhibitor of in vitro virus transcription; almost 2.5-fold more MT protein than intact M protein was required for 50% inhibition of VSV transcription, indicating that a site for interaction with the RNP core may have been lost. A monoclonal antibody which is able to reverse the in vitro inhibition of transcription by M protein did not react by immunoblotting with MT protein. Partial tryptic digests of the M protein probed with this monoclonal antibody indicated that epitope 1 lies between amino acid residues 18 and 43. This region appears to be a site that promotes interaction of the M protein with the RNP core of VSV. Monoclonal antibodies to epitopes 2 and 3, which exhibit some overlap in binding to M protein but do not reverse transcription inhibition, were mapped by cleavage with N-chlorosuccinimide at regions in a carboxy direction from epitope 1.

Abstract
Viral assembly was studied by viewing platinum replicas of cytoplasmic and outer plasma membrane surfaces of baby hamster kidney cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. Replicas of the cytoplasmic surface of the basilar plasma membrane revealed nucleocapsids forming bullet-shaped tight helical coils. The apex of each viral nose cone was anchored to the membrane and was free of uncoiled nucleocapsid, whereas tortuous nucleocapsid was attached to the base of tightly coiled structures. Using immunoelectron microscopy, we identified the nucleocapsid (N) viral protein as a component of both the tight-coil and tortuous nucleocapsids, whereas the matrix (M) protein was found only on tortuous nucleocapsids. The M protein was not found on the membrane. Using immunoreagents specific for the viral glycoprotein (G protein), we found that the amount of G protein per virion varied. The G protein was consistently localized at the apex of viral buds, whereas the density of G protein on the shaft was equivalent to that in the surrounding membrane. These observations suggest that G-protein interaction with the nucleocapsid via its cytoplasmic domain may be necessary for the initiation of viral assembly. Once contact is established, nucleocapsid coiling proceeds with nose cone formation followed by formation of the helical cylinder. M protein may function to induce a nucleocapsid conformation favorable for coiling or may cross-link adjacent turns in the tight coil or both.

Abstract
Dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy was used to perform mass analyses of purified vesicular stomatitis virions, pronase-treated virions, and nucleocapsids, leading to a complete self-consistent account of the molecular composition of vesicular stomatitis virus. The masses obtained were 265.6 +/- 13.3 megadaltons (MDa) for the native virion, 197.5 +/- 8.4 MDa for the pronase-treated virion, and 69.4 +/- 4.9 MDa for the nucleocapsid. The reduction in mass effected by pronase treatment, which corresponds to excision of the external domains (spikes) of G protein, leads to an average of 1,205 molecules of G protein per virion. The nucleocapsid mass, after compensation for the RNA (3.7 MDa) and residual amounts of other proteins, yielded a complement of 1,258 copies of N protein. Calibration of the amounts of M, NS, and L proteins relative to N protein by biochemical quantitation yielded values of 1,826, 466, and 50 molecules, respectively, per virion. Assuming that the remaining virion mass is contributed by lipids in the viral envelope, we obtained a value of 56.1 MDa for its lipid content. In addition, four different electron microscopy procedures were applied to determine the nucleocapsid length, which we conclude to be 3.5 to 3.7 micron. The nucleocapsid comprises a strand of repeating units which have a center-to-center spacing of 3.3 nm as measured along the middle of the strand. We show that these repeating units represent monomers of N protein, each of which is associated with 9 +/- 1 bases of single-stranded RNA. From scanning transmission electron microscopy images of negatively stained nucleocapsids, we inferred that N protein has a wedge-shaped, bilobed structure with dimensions of approximately 9.0 nm (length), approximately 5.0 nm (depth), and approximately 3.3 nm (width, at the midpoint of its long axis). In the coiled configuration of the in situ nucleocapsid, the long axis of N protein is directed radially, and its depth corresponds to the pitch of the nucleocapsid helix.

Abstract
The traffic among the cellular compartments is thought to be mediated by membrane vesicles, which bud from one compartment and fuse with the next. Despite the continuous exchange of membrane components among them, the organelles maintain their characteristic protein and lipid compositions such that the traffic remains selective, thus, avoiding intermixing of components. This membrane traffic recycles components from the cell surface to the interior of the cell and back to the cell surface again. The membrane traffic between the ER and the cell surface involves a major sorting problem. Little is known of how the animal cell has solved this problem in molecular terms. One experimental tool in this direction is provided by some enveloped animal viruses, which mature at the cell surface of infected cells. Such viruses include influenza virus, Semliki Forest virus (SFV), Sindbis virus, and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). They are extremely simple in makeup and hence are very well characterized. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the use of the enveloped viruses as tools in the study of membrane traffic in the animal cell. This is done in the context of the life cycle of the virus in the host cell. The article will be concerned mainly with Semliki Forest virus (SFV), which is the virus that has been worked upon in the chapter. SFV belongs to the alphaviruses, a genus of the togavirus family.

Abstract
This study demonstrates that the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus clusters in the plasma membrane of infected Chinese hamster lung cells during morphogenesis and suggests that viral nucleocapsids are required for this clustering. A mutant virus (ts E-1) which is temperature sensitive for the synthesis of viral nucleocapsids but not viral membrane proteins was used. The surface distribution of the viral glycoprotein in cells infected by this virus was determined by a specific indirect immunoferritin stain. Early in infection at permissive temperatures, the glycoprotein was randomly distributed on membrane ghosts. Later, clusters of ferritin the size and shape of virus particles were seen. In contrast, ghosts prepared from virus-infected cells maintained at a restrictive temperature always had a random distribution of viral glycoprotein.
