Abstract
Duck enteritis virus (DEV), the causative agent of duck viral enteritis, causes a contagious, lethal viral disease in Anseriformes (waterfowls). In virus infection, host-virus interaction plays a crucial role in virus replication and pathogenesis. In our previous study, mRFP was fused with the C-terminus of DEV glycoprotein C (gC) to construct a fluorescent-tag DEV virus rgCRFP. In the current study, fluorescent fusion protein (gC-mRFP) was used as the proteomic probe. Co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometric analysis of proteins from rgCRFP-infected chicken embryo fibroblasts using commercial anti-RFP antibody led to the identification of a total of 21 gC interacting host proteins. Out of these 21 proteins, the interaction of seven host proteins (GNG2, AR1H1, PPP2CA, UBE2I, MCM5, NUBP1, HN1) with DEV gC protein was validated using membrane-bound split-ubiquitin yeast two-hybrid system (MbYTH) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) analyses. It indicated direct interaction between these proteins with DEV gC protein. This study has furthered the current understanding of DEV virus infection and pathogenesis. SIGNIFICANCE: gC is an crucial glycoprotein of duck enteritis virus that plays an important role in the viral life cycle. Uncovering the interaction between virus-host is very important to elucidate the pathogenic mechanism of the virus. In this study, host factors interacting with DEV gC have been discerned. And seven host proteins (GNG2, AR1H1, PPP2CA, UBE2I, MCM5, NUBP1, HN1) have been further validated to interact with DEV gC using MbYTH and BiFC analyses. These outcomes could shed light on how DEV manipulates the cellular machinery, which could further our understanding of DEV pathogenesis.

Abstract
Mucin-like regions, characterized by a local high density of O-linked glycosylation, are found on the viral envelope glycoproteins of many viruses. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), for example, exhibits a mucin-like region on its glycoprotein gC, a viral protein involved in initial recruitment of the virus to the cell surface via interaction with sulfated glycosaminoglycans. So far, this mucin-like region has been proposed to play a key role in modulating the interactions with cellular glycosaminoglycans, and in particular to promote release of HSV-1 virions from infected cells. However, the molecular mechanisms and the role as a pathogenicity factor remains unclear. Using single virus particle tracking, we show that the mobility of chondroitin sulfate-bound HSV-1 virions is decreased in absence of the mucin-like region. This decrease in mobility correlates with an increase in HSV-1-chondroitin sulfate binding forces as observed using atomic force microscopy-based force spectroscopy. Our data suggest that the mucin-like region modulates virus-glycosaminoglycan interactions by regulating the affinity, type, and number of glycoproteins involved in the virus-glycosaminoglycan interaction. This study therefore presents new evidence for a role of the mucin-like region in balancing the interaction of HSV-1 with glycosaminoglycans and provides further insights into the molecular mechanisms used by the virus to ensure both successful cell entry and release from the infected cell.

Abstract
Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) has haemagglutination (HA) activity toward equine red blood cells (RBCs), but the identity of its haemagglutinin is unknown. To identify the haemagglutinin of EHV-1, the major glycoproteins of EHV-1 were expressed in 293T cells, and the cells or cell lysates were mixed with equine RBCs. The results showed that only EHV-1 glycoprotein C (gC)-producing cells adsorbed equine RBCs, and that the lysate of EHV-1 gC-expressing cells agglutinated equine RBCs. EHV-1 lacking gC did not show HA activity. HA activity was inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for gC, but not by antibodies directed against other glycoproteins. In addition, HA activity was not inhibited by the addition of heparin. These results indicate that EHV-1 gC can bind equine RBCs irrespective of heparin, in contrast to other herpesvirus gC proteins.

Abstract
Human parainfluenza virus type 1 (HPIV-1) is the most common cause of croup in infants. The aim of this study was to describe molecular mechanisms associated with IL-8 production during HPIV-1 infection and the role of viral replication in MAPK synthesis and activation. An in vitro model of HPIV-1 infection in the HEp-2 and A549 cell lines was used; a kinetic-based ELISA for IL-8 detection was also used, phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) was identified by Western blot analysis, and specific inhibitors for each kinase were used to identify which MAPK was involved. Inactivated viruses were used to assess whether viral replication is required for IL-8 production. Results revealed a gradual increase in IL-8 production at different selected times, when phosphorylation of MAPK was detected. The secretion of IL-8 in the two cell lines infected with the HPIV-1 is related to the phosphorylation of the MAPK as well as viral replication. Inhibition of p38 suppressed the secretion of IL-8 in the HEp-2 cells. No kinase activation was observed when viruses were inactivated.

Abstract
The first contact a virus makes with cells is an important determinant of its tropism. Murid Herpesvirus-4 (MuHV-4) is highly dependent on glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) for cell binding. Its first contact is therefore likely to involve a GAG-binding virion glycoprotein. We have previously identified two such proteins, gp70 and gp150. Gp70 binds strongly to GAGs. However, deleting it makes little difference to MuHV-4 cell binding or GAG-dependence. Deleting gp150, by contrast, frees MuHV-4 from GAG dependence. This implies that GAGs normally displace gp150 to allow GAG-independent cell binding. But the gp150 GAG interaction is weak, and so would seem unlikely to make an effective first contact. Since neither gp70 nor gp150 matches the expected profile of a first contact glycoprotein, our understanding of MuHV-4 GAG interactions must be incomplete. Here we relate the seemingly disconnected gp70 and gp150 GAG interactions by showing that the MuHV-4 gH/gL also binds to GAGs. gH/gL-blocking and gp70-blocking antibodies individually had little effect on cell binding, but together were strongly inhibitory. Thus, there was redundancy in GAG binding between gp70 and gH/gL. Gp150-deficient MuHV-4 largely resisted blocks to gp70 and gH/gL binding, consistent with its GAG independence. The failure of wild-type MuHV-4 to do the same argues that gp150 is normally engaged only down-stream of gp70 or gH/gL. MuHV-4 GAG dependence is consequently two-fold: gp70 or gH/gL binding provides virions with a vital first foothold, and gp150 is then engaged to reveal GAG-independent binding.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) commonly participate in herpesvirus entry. They are thought to provide a reversible attachment to cells that promotes subsequent receptor binding. Murine gamma-herpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) infection of fibroblasts and epithelial cells is highly GAG-dependent. This is a function of the viral gp150, in that gp150-deficient mutants are much less GAG-dependent than wild-type. Here we show that the major MHV-68 GAG-binding protein is not gp150 but gp70, a product of ORF4. Surprisingly, ORF4-deficient MHV-68 showed normal cell binding and was more sensitive than wild-type to inhibition by soluble heparin rather than less. Thus, the most obvious viral GAG interaction made little direct contribution to infection. Indeed, a large fraction of the virion gp70 had its GAG-binding domain removed by post-translational cleavage. ORF4 may therefore act mainly to absorb soluble GAGs and prevent them from engaging gp150 prematurely. In contrast to gp70, gp150 bound poorly to GAGs, implying that it provides little in the way of adhesion. We hypothesize that it acts instead as a GAG-sensitive switch that selectively activates MHV-68 entry at cell surfaces.

Abstract
During an asexual growth cycle of Babesia parasites in a natural host, the extracellular merozoites invade (i.e., attach to, penetrate, and internalize) the host erythrocytes (RBC) via multiple adhesive interactions of several protozoan ligands with the target receptors on the host cell surface. After internalizing the host RBC, they asexually multiply, egress from the RBC by rupturing the host cells, and then invade the new RBC again. In the invasion stage, several surface-coating molecules of merozoites might be involved in the initial attachment to the RBC, while proteins secreted from apical organelles (rhoptry, microneme, and spherical body) are proposed to play roles mainly in erythrocyte penetration or internalization. On the other hand, several components located on the surface of the RBC, such as sialic acid residues, protease-sensitive proteins, or sulphated glycosaminoglycans, are identified or suspected as the host receptors of erythrocyte invasion by Babesia parasites. The detailed molecular interactions between Babesia merozoites and the host RBC are incompletely understood. In this review, these identified or suspected molecules (protozoan ligands/erythrocyte receptors) are described by especially focusing on Babesia bovis.

Abstract
HS (heparan sulphate) has hitherto not been found on human red blood cells (RBCs, erythrocytes). However, malarial-parasite (Plasmodium falciparum)-infected RBCs adhere to uninfected RBCs via HS-like receptors. In the present paper we demonstrate that human RBCs carry epitopes for an anti-HS antibody. Glycans isolated from RBC membranes reacted to HS-specific degradations and adhered to an HS-binding malaria antigen. Additionally, an HS core protein was identified. This suggests that HS is present on human RBCs.

Abstract
We examined the inhibitory effects of three heparins on the growth of Babesia parasites. The multiplication of Babesia bovis, B. bigemina, B. equi, and B. caballi in in vitro cultures and that of B. microti in vivo were significantly inhibited in the presence of heparins, as determined by light microscopy. Treatment with various concentrations of heparin showed complete clearance of the intracellular parasites. Interestingly, a higher percentage of abnormally multidividing B. bovis parasites was observed in the presence of low concentrations of heparin. Furthermore, fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled heparin was preferably found on the surfaces of extracellular merozoites, as detected by confocal laser scanning microscopy. These findings indicate that the heparin covers the surfaces of babesial merozoites and inhibits their subsequent invasion of erythrocytes.

Abstract
Swine kidney derived CPK cells were resistant to swine complement attack in vitro while rabbit kidney derived RK13 cells were destroyed by swine complement. To rabbit complement, RK13 cells were resistant but CPK cells were sensitive. This phenomenon was known as homologous restriction (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78 (1981) 5118). The gC deletion mutant of pseudorabies virus (PRVdlgC) grown in CPK cells was resistant to swine complement while the same virus grown in RK13 cells was neutralized by swine complement. PRVdlgC grown in RK13 cells was more resistant to rabbit complement than the virus grown in CPK cells. Hence, the sensitivity of PRVdlgC to swine or rabbit complement was similar to that of the cells in which the virus was grown. It would appear that cell derived factors were present on the virion and they were protective against homologous complement but not against heterologous complement. The expression of gC rendered PRV more resistant to swine or rabbit complement, but the protective effect of gC was much less than that of cell derived factors. The best protection against complement was obtained when gC and cell derived factors were coexistent on the virion.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate (HS) has been identified as a receptor molecule for numerous microbial pathogens, including herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). To further define the major HS-binding domain of the HSV-1 attachment protein, i.e. glycoprotein C (gC), virus mutants carrying alterations of either two neighbouring basic amino acid residues or a single hydrophobic amino acid residue within the N-terminal domain of the protein (residues 26-227) were constructed. In addition, a mutant lacking the Asn148 glycosylation site was included in the study. Binding of purified mutated gC proteins to isolated HS chains showed that viruses with mutations at residues Arg(129,130), Ile142, Arg(143,145), Arg(145,147), Arg(151,155) and Arg(155,160) had significantly impaired HS binding, in contrast to the other mutations, including Asn148. Impairment of the HS-binding activity of gC by these mutations had profound consequences for virus attachment and infection of cells in which amounts of HS exposed on the cell surface had been reduced. It is suggested that basic and hydrophobic residues localized at the Cys127-Cys144 loop of HSV-1 gC constitute a major HS-binding domain, with the most active amino acids situated near the C-terminal region of the two cysteines.

Abstract
Many viruses have evolved to exploit cell-surface glycosaminoglycans (GAG), particularly heparan sulfate, to facilitate their attachment and infection of host cells. Here, the case for the involvement of heparan sulfate GAG in cellular infection by human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) compared with herpes simplex virus Type 1 (HSV-1) is re-examined. It is shown that HIV-1 infection is facilitated by heparan sulfate GAG in only one of three highly permissive cell lines tested, whereas HSV-1 infection is facilitated to varying extents in all three. To evaluate the physiological relevance of these findings, primary peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), the physiological host for HIV-1, were examined. It was found that treatment of PBL with heparitinase, to remove any traces of heparan sulfate GAG, did not alter their sensitivity to infection by either lymphocyte-tropic, X4-type strain HIV-1IIIB, nor the monocyte-tropic, R5-type strain, HIV-1Ba-L. It is concluded that heparan sulfate GAG has little physiological role in the infection of lymphocytes by HIV-1 and that evidence derived from studies on immortalized cell lines suggesting a significant role must be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
Rosetting, the adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to uninfected erythrocytes, is a virulent parasite phenotype associated with the occurrence of severe malaria, e.g., cerebral malaria. Compounds with specific anti-rosetting activity are potential therapeutic agents. Glycosaminoglycans and sulfated glycoconjugates were found to disrupt rosettes in a strain- and isolate-specific manner. Rosette disruption was strongly connected to the presence of N-sulfate groups in heparin/heparan sulfate as demonstrated by modified heparin preparations. This finding was corroborated by the disruption of rosettes with mono- and disaccharides derived from heparin/heparan sulfate that contained N-sulfated glucosamine. Furthermore, heparinase III treatment of erythrocyte cultures infected by FCR3S1 (and to some extent TM 284) P. falciparum strains abolished rosetting. Heparinase III treatment of the uninfected erythrocytes prior to mixing with the infected culture impeded formation of rosettes, indicating that the rosetting receptors at least partially are of glycosaminoglycan nature.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody, B1C1, binding to an epitope of antigenic site II of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein gC-1, is a potent inhibitor of two important biological functions of gC-1: its binding to cell surface heparan sulfate and its binding to the receptor for complement factor C3b. Here, we have analyzed a B1C1-resistant HSV-1 variant (HSV-12762/B1C1B4.2), obtained after passage of wild type HSV-1 (HSV-12762) in the presence of high concentrations of B1C1. The transport of newly synthesized mutant gC-1 to the cell surface was comparable to that of wild type glycoprotein, but no binding of surface-associated mutant gC-1 to B1C1 was detected. However, mutant and wild type gC-1 bound equally well to other site II Mabs. Attachment of wild type but not mutant virus was inhibited by B1C1. Sequencing of the mutant gC-1 gene revealed only one nucleotide change, resulting in replacement of Thr150 by an Ile, in turn destroying an N-glycosylation site at Asn148. Loss of one complex type N-linked glycan was confirmed by endoglycosidase digestion and subsequent SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Circular dichroism analysis of purified gC-1 from cells infected with mutant or wild type virus did not reveal any difference in secondary structure between mutant and wild type gC-1. It was not possible to obtain a B1C1-resistant phenotype by nucleotide-directed mutagenesis of gC-1 where Asn148 was changed to a glutamine. These data demonstrated that the threonine of the glycosylation site and not the N-linked glycan in itself was essential for B1C1 binding

Abstract
Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) is a causative agent of feline viral rhinotracheitis and belongs to the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae of the family Herpesviridae. Since first isolated in 1958 by Crandell and Maurer, FHV-1 is distributed worldwide and is the most clinically significant agent for respiratory infections in cats. In this review, we describe the recent findings with properties and functions of FHV-1 glycoproteins, especially hemagglutinins.

Abstract
A new optical biosensor technique based on the resonant mirror was used to characterize Helicobacter pylori strains according to their sialic acid binding, demonstrating the suitability of using intact bacteria in real-time measurements and classifying strains based on their binding abilities. Results obtained from both competition and displacement assays using different glycoconjugates confirmed that several, but not all, H.pylori strains express sialic acid-binding adhesin(s), specific for alpha-2,3-sialyllactose. The adhesin, removable from the bacterial surface by water extraction, is not related to other reported H.pylori cell surface proteins with binding ability to sialylated compounds such as sialylglycoceramides.

Abstract
Severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria is characterized by excessive sequestration of infected and uninfected erythrocytes in the microvasculature of the affected organ. Rosetting, the adhesion of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes to uninfected erythrocytes is a virulent parasite phenotype associated with the occurrence of severe malaria. Here we report on the identification by single-cell reverse transcriptase PCR and cDNA cloning of the adhesive ligand P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). Rosetting PfEMP1 contains clusters of glycosaminoglycan-binding motifs. A recombinant fusion protein (Duffy binding-like 1-glutathione S transferase; Duffy binding-like-1-GST) was found to adhere directly to normal erythrocytes, disrupt naturally formed rosettes, block rosette reformation, and bind to a heparin-Sepharose matrix. The adhesive interactions could be inhibited with heparan sulfate or enzymes that remove heparan sulfate from the cell surface whereas other enzymes or similar glycosaminoglycans of a like negative charge did not affect the binding. PfEMP1 is suggested to be the rosetting ligand and heparan sulfate, or a heparan sulfate-like molecule, the receptor both for PfEMP1 binding and naturally formed erythrocyte rosettes.

Abstract
A clinical isolate of herpes simplex virus 1 (TN-1) from a stromal keratitis patient was found to be defective in the glycoprotein C (gC) gene (UL44), thus resulting in the production of truncated gC upon infection. To study the pathogenetic role of truncated gC, we prepared a recombinant LTN-8 derived from TN-1 with deletions of the 1.5 kilobase pairs of the gC gene including the initiation codon. A penetration assay revealed LTN-8 to be less efficient in its penetration ability than TN-1, the laboratory strain KOS and RTN-1-20-3, a recombinant derived from TN-1 with the KOS gC gene. The penetration of LTN-8 was facilitated by the addition of TN-1-infected culture medium. TN-1 virus preparations had no hemagglutinating activity. However, the animals infected with TN-1 did develop hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibodies. The LTN-8-infected animals did not develop HI antibodies. The pathogenicity in BALB/c mice following either corneal, intraperitoneal or intracerebral inoculation did not significantly differ among TN-1, RTN-1-20-3 or LTN-8. Our results indicate that truncated gC was sufficient for the induction of HI antibodies and was also able to facilitate penetration in vitro. Although truncated gC might be a virulence factor acting as a decoy, both truncated gC and intact gC had little effect on the outcome following intracerebral, intraperitoneal or corneal inoculation.

Abstract
The gene encoding the canine herpesvirus (CHV) glycoprotein C (gC) homologue has been identified by sequence homology analyses with other well studied herpesviruses. Previously, we have identified three CHV glycoproteins, gp145/112, gp80 and gp47 using a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). To determine which CHV glycoprotein corresponds to gC, a recombinant baculovirus which contains the putative CHV gC structural gene under the baculovirus polyhedrin promoter was constructed. The recombinant baculovirus expressed gC-related polypeptides (44-62 kDa), which reacted only with MAbs against CHV gp80, indicating that the previously identified CHV gp80 is the translation product of the gC gene. The baculovirus expressed gC was glycosylated and transported to the surface of infected cells. At least seven neutralizing epitopes were conserved on the gC produced in insect cells. It was found that the recombinant baculovirus infected cells adsorbed murine erythrocytes as is the case for CHV-infected cells. The hemadsorption activity was inhibited by heparin, indicating that the CHV gC binds to heparan sulfate on the surface of murine erythrocytes. Mice immunized with the recombinant gC produced strong neutralizing antibodies. Our results suggest that CHV gC produced in insect cells may be useful as a subunit vaccine to control CHV infections.

Abstract
Adherence to mammalian host tissues is an important virulence trait in microbial pathogenesis, yet little is known about the adherence mechanisms of mycobacteria. Here, we show that binding of mycobacteria to epithelial cells but not to macrophages can be specifically inhibited by sulfated carbohydrates. Using heparin-Sepharose chromatography, a 28-kD heparin-binding protein was purified from culture supernatants and cell extracts of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This protein, designated heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA), promotes the agglutination of rabbit erythrocytes, which is specifically inhibited by sulfated carbohydrates. HBHA also induce mycobacterial aggregation, suggesting that it can mediate bacteria-bacteria interactions as well. Hemagglutination, mycobacterial aggregation, as well as attachment to epithelial cells are specifically inhibited in the presence of anti-HBHA antibodies. Immunoelectron microscopy using anti-HBHA monoclonal antibodies revealed that the protein is surface exposed, consistent with a role in adherence. Immunoblot analyses using antigen-specific antibodies indicated that HBHA is different from the fibronectin-binding proteins of the antigen 85 complex and p55, and comparison of the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of purified HBHA with the protein sequence data bases did not reveal any significant similarity with other known proteins. Sera from tuberculosis patients but not from healthy individuals were found to recognize HBHA, indicating its immunogenicity in humans during mycobacterial infections. Identification of putative mycobacterial adhesins, such as the one described in this report, may provide the basis for the development of new therapeutic and prophylactic strategies against mycobacterial diseases.

Abstract
Heparan sulfate binding proteins (HSBPs) of Helicobacter pylori facilitate bacterial phagocytosis by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). H. pylori 25 strain which demonstrates a strong heparan sulfate binding activity was found to be attached to/ingested by PMNs in greater numbers than H. pylori strain 17874 bacteria which lacked this activity. Moreover, heparin inhibited the uptake of cells of H. pylori strain 25 but not of cells of H. pylori strain 17874 by PMNs.

Abstract
The pathogenic bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which causes active, chronic type B gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, and increases the risk for development of gastric cancer, could tentatively interfere with growth factors and growth factor receptors of importance for the gastroduodenal mucosa, e.g. heparin-binding FGFs (fibroblast growth factors). H. pylori binds FGF with an extremely strong affinity (3.8 x 10(-12)M), and also heparan sulfate and heparin with higher affinity (Kd 9 x 10(-9)M) than FGFs bind to heparin (10(-8) - 10(-9)M). FGF receptors are also dependent on heparin for their activation. Heparan sulfate binding proteins (HSBP) are exposed on and shed from the surface of H. pylori, which often are localised close to the epithelial stem cells in the gastroduodenal glands. H. pylori could thus efficiently interfere with growth factors and growth factor receptors, tentatively resulting in disturbance of the delicate balance that control the renewal, maintenance and repair of the gastroduodenal mucosa. This mode of action has previously not been considered, but may constitute part of its pathogenic mechanisms. Such a dynamic mode of action of H. pylori may explain the reason for that infected victims may either suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms or lack clinical evidence of disease or discomfort.

Abstract
A mutant with deletion of the glycoprotein gIII gene was produced from a Japanese isolate of pseudorabies virus (PrV) and characterized. Viral titers of the mutant propagated in PK-15 cells were always lower than those of the parental virus. The parental virus agglutinated BALB/c mouse erythrocytes, whereas the deletion mutant showed no hemagglutinating activity. Pigs inoculated with the parental virus produced not only neutralizing but also hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies. On the other hand, the mutant induced high titers of neutralizing antibody comparable to the parental virus but no hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody in inoculated pigs, suggesting that glycoprotein gIII is an essential component for hemagglutination of PrV. Finally, no evidence that the deletion mutant lost virulence for mice was obtained.

Abstract
Cell surface proteoglycans, in particular those carrying heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans, play a major role in primary attachment of herpesviruses to target cells. In pseudorabies virus (PrV), glycoprotein gC has been shown to represent the major heparan sulfate-binding virion envelope protein (T. C. Mettenleiter, L. Zsak, F. Zuckermann, N. Sugg, H. Kern, and T. Ben-Porat, J. Virol. 64:278-286, 1990). Since PrV gC is nonessential for viral infectivity in vitro and in vivo, either the interaction between virion envelope and cellular heparan sulfate is not necessary to mediate infection or other virion envelope proteins can substitute as heparan sulfate-binding components in the absence of gC. To answer these questions, we analyzed the infectivity of isogenic gC+ and gC- PrV on mouse L-cell derivatives with defects in glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, using a rapid and sensitive fluorescence-based beta-galactosidase assay and single-cell counting in a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Our data show that (i) in the virion, glycoprotein gC represents the only proteoglycan-binding envelope protein, and (ii) cellular proteoglycans are not essential for infectivity of PrV. Attachment studies using radiolabeled virions lacking either gC or the essential gD confirmed these results and demonstrated that PrV gD mainly contributes to binding of Pr virions to cell surface components other than proteoglycans. These data demonstrate the presence of a proteoglycan-independent mode of attachment for Pr virions leading to infectious entry into target cells.

Abstract
A novel mouse L-cell mutant cell line defective in the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans was isolated by selection for cells resistant to herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. These cells, termed sog9, were derived from mutant parental gro2C cells, which are themselves defective in heparan sulfate biosynthesis and 90% resistant to HSV type 1 (HSV-1) infection compared with control L cells (S. Gruenheid, L. Gatzke, H. Meadows, and F. Tufaro, J. Virol. 67:93-100, 1993). In this report, we show that sog9 cells exhibit a 3-order-of-magnitude reduction in susceptibility to HSV-1 compared with control L cells. In steady-state labeling experiments, sog9 cells accumulated almost no [35S]sulfate-labeled or [6-3H]glucosamine-labeled glycosaminoglycans, suggesting that the initiation of glycosaminoglycan assembly was specifically reduced in these cells. Despite these defects, sog9 cells were fully susceptible to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and permissive for both VSV and HSV replication, assembly, and egress. HSV plaques formed in the sog9 monolayers in proportion to the amount of input virus, suggesting the block to infection was in the virus entry pathway. More importantly, HSV-1 infection of sog9 cells was not significantly reduced by soluble heparan sulfate, indicating that infection was glycosaminoglycan independent. Infection was inhibited by soluble gD-1, however, which suggests that glycoprotein gD plays a role in the infection of this cell line. The block to sog9 cell infection by HSV-1 could be eliminated by adding soluble dextran sulfate to the inoculum, which may act by stabilizing the virus at the sog9 cell surface. Thus, sog9 cells provide direct genetic evidence for a proteoglycan-independent entry pathway for HSV-1, and results with these cells suggest that HSV-1 is a useful reagent for the direct selection of novel animal cell mutants defective in the synthesis of cell surface proteoglycans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have recently demonstrated the ability of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) to agglutinate mouse red blood cells, and identified glycoprotein C (gC-1) as a major virus hemagglutinin. Based on this a classical hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assay was developed. OBJECTIVES Regarding significant structural differences between HSV-1 gC-1 and its herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) counterpart, gC-2, the possibility of application of a classical HI assay for the detection of HSV-1-specific antibodies was explored. STUDY DESIGN HI antibody titers were compared with those of gC-1-specific enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), and with the results of the standard gG-1- and gG-2-specific immunodot enzymatic assays for the detection of type-specific antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2 respectively. RESULTS The sensitivity of HI test was 89% and 97% of that gC-1-ELISA and gG-1-immunodot respectively. Approximately 21% of serum specimens, defined as containing antibodies specific for only HSV-2, showed low HI titers. Heterotypic reactivity with purified gC-1 antigen was also observed in both ELISA and immunoblot assays. CONCLUSION Antibodies detectable in HI assay were mainly HSV-1-specific; however, a limited degree of serologic reactivity between HSV-2-specific sera and HSV-1 hemagglutinin also occurred. Thus, our results confirmed prevalent opinion about the presence of a limited number of antigenic determinants shared by HSV-1 gC-1 and HSV-2 gC-2.

Abstract
This review is a summary of our present knowledge with respect to the structure of the virion of herpes simplex virus type 1. The virion consists of a capsid into which the DNA is packaged, a tegument and an external envelope. The protein compositions of the structures outside the genome are described as well as the functions of individual proteins. Seven capsid proteins are identified, and two of them are mainly present in precursors of mature DNA-containing capsids. The protein components of the 150 hexamers and 12 pentamers in the icosahedral capsid are known. These capsomers all have a central channel and are connected by Y-shaped triplexes. In contrast to the capsid, the tegument has a less defined structure in which 11 proteins have been identified so far. Most of them are phosphorylated. Eleven virus-encoded glycoproteins are present in the envelope, and there may be a few more membrane proteins not yet identified. Functions of these glycoproteins include attachment to and penetration of the cellular membrane. The structural proteins, their functions, coding genes and localizations are listed in table form.
