Pavulraj S, Stout RW, Paulsen DB, Chowdhury SI. A Quadruple Gene-Deleted Live BoHV-1 Subunit RVFV Vaccine Vector Reactivates from Latency and Replicates in the TG Neurons of Calves but Is Not Transported to and Shed from Nasal Mucosa. Viruses 2024; 16:1497. [PMID: 39339973 PMCID: PMC11437494 DOI: 10.3390/v16091497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2024] [Revised: 09/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/16/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) establishes lifelong latency in trigeminal ganglionic (TG) neurons following intranasal and ocular infection in cattle. Periodically, the latent virus reactivates in the TG due to stress and is transported anterogradely to nerve endings in the nasal epithelium, where the virus replicates and sheds. Consequently, BoHV-1 is transmitted to susceptible animals and maintained in the cattle population. Modified live BoHV-1 vaccine strains (BoHV-1 MLV) also have a similar latency reactivation. Therefore, they circulate and are maintained in cattle herds. Additionally, they can regain virulence and cause vaccine outbreaks because they mutate and recombine with other circulating field wild-type (wt) strains. Recently, we constructed a BoHV-1 quadruple mutant virus (BoHV-1qmv) that lacks immune evasive properties due to UL49.5 and glycoprotein G (gG) deletions. In addition, it also lacks the gE cytoplasmic tail (gE CT) and Us9 gene sequences designed to make it safe, increase its vaccine efficacy against BoHV-1, and restrict its anterograde neuronal transport noted above. Further, we engineered the BoHV-1qmv-vector to serve as a subunit vaccine against the Rift Valley fever virus (BoHV-1qmv Sub-RVFV) (doi: 10.3390/v15112183). In this study, we determined the latency reactivation and nasal virus shedding properties of BoHV-1qmv (vector) and BoHV-1qmv-vectored subunit RVFV (BoHV-1qmv sub-RVFV) vaccine virus in calves in comparison to the BoHV-1 wild-type (wt) following intranasal inoculation. The real-time PCR results showed that BoHV-1 wt- but not the BoHV-1qmv vector- and BoHV-1qmv Sub-RVFV-inoculated calves shed virus in the nose following dexamethasone-induced latency reactivation; however, like the BoHV-1 wt, both the BoHV-1qmv vector and BoHV-1qmv Sub-RVFV viruses established latency, were reactivated, and replicated in the TG neurons. These results are consistent with the anterograde neurotransport function of the gE CT and Us9 sequences, which are deleted in the BoHV-1qmv and BoHV-1qmv Sub-RVFV.

BoHV-1-Vectored BVDV-2 Subunit Vaccine Induces BVDV Cross-Reactive Cellular Immune Responses and Protects against BVDV-2 Challenge. Vaccines (Basel) 2021; 9:vaccines9010046.

Abstract
The bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) remains a major problem for both beef and dairy cattle industries worldwide. BRDC frequently involves an initial viral respiratory infection resulting in immunosuppression, which creates a favorable condition for fatal secondary bacterial infection. Current polyvalent modified live vaccines against bovine herpesvirus type 1(BoHV-1) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) have limitations concerning their safety and efficacy. To address these shortcomings and safety issues, we have constructed a quadruple gene mutated BoHV-1 vaccine vector (BoHV-1 QMV), which expresses BVDV type 2, chimeric E2 and Flag-tagged Erns-fused with bovine granulocyte monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) designated here as QMV-BVD2*. Here we compared the safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy of QMV-BVD2* vaccination in calves against BVDV-2 with Zoetis Bovi-shield Gold 3 trivalent (BoHV-1, BVDV types 1 and 2) vaccine. The QMV-BVD2* prototype subunit vaccine induced the BoHV-1 and BVDV-2 neutralizing antibody responses along with BVDV-1 and -2 cross-reactive cellular immune responses. Moreover, after a virulent BVDV-2 challenge, the QMV-BVD2* prototype subunit vaccine conferred a more rapid recall BVDV-2-specific neutralizing antibody response and considerably better recall BVDV types 1 and 2-cross protective cellular immune responses than that of the Zoetis Bovi-shield Gold 3.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus envelope glycoprotein E (gE) and, in particular, the gE cytoplasmic tail (CT) is a virulence determinant in cattle. Also, the gE CT contributes to virus cell-to-cell spread and anterograde neuronal transport. In this study, our goal was to map the gE CT sub-domains that contribute to virus cell-to-cell spread property. A panel of gE-CT specific mutant viruses was constructed and characterized, in vitro, with respect to their plaque phenotypes, gE recycling and gE basolateral membrane targeting. The results revealed that disruption of the tyrosine-based motifs, 467YTSL470 and 563YTVV566, individually produced smaller plaque phenotypes than the wild type. However, they were slightly larger than the gE CT-null virus plaques. The Y467A mutation affected the gE endocytosis, gE trans-Golgi network (TGN) recycling, and gE virion incorporation properties. However, the Y563A mutation affected only the gE basolateral cell-surface redistribution function. Notably, the simultaneous Y467A/Y563A mutations produced gE CT-null virus-like plaque phenotypes.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV1) and 5 (BoHV5) are genetically and antigenically related alphaherpesviruses. Infection with one virus induces protective immunity against the other. However, disease associated with BoHV1 and BoHV5 varies significantly; whereas BoHV1 infection is usually associated with rhinotracheitis and abortion, BoHV5 causes encephalitis in cattle. BoHV5 outbreaks are sporadic and mainly restricted to the South American countries. We report BoHV5 infection for the first time from aborted cattle in India. Based on the characteristic cytopathic effects in MDBK cells, amplification of the viral genome by PCR, differential PCR for BoHV1/BoHV5, nucleotide sequencing and restriction endonuclease patterns, identity of the virus was confirmed as BoHV5 subtype A. Serum samples from the aborted cattle strongly neutralized both BoHV1 and BoHV5 suggesting an active viral infection in the herd. Upon UL27, UL44 and UL54 gene-based sequence and phylogenetic analysis, the isolated virus clustered with BoHV5 strains and showed highest similarity with the Brazilian BoHV5 strains.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus types 1 (BoHV-1) and 5 (BoHV-5) are two closely related alphaherpesviruses. BoHV-1 causes several syndromes in cattle, including respiratory disease and sporadic cases of encephalitis, whereas BoHV-5 is responsible for meningoencephalitis in calves. Although both viruses are neurotropic, they differ in their neuropathogenic potential. This review summarizes the findings on the specific mechanisms and pathways known to modulate the pathogenesis of BoHV-1 and BoHV-5, particularly in relation to respiratory and neurological syndromes, which characterize BoHV-1 and BoHV-5 infections, respectively.

Bovine Herpesvirus 1 U L49.5 Interacts with gM and VP22 To Ensure Virus Cell-to-Cell Spread and Virion Incorporation: Novel Role for VP22 in gM-Independent U L49.5 Virion Incorporation. J Virol 2018; 92:JVI.00240-18. [PMID: 29669828 PMCID: PMC6002714 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00240-18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2018] [Accepted: 04/04/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Alphaherpesvirus envelope glycoprotein N (gN) and gM form a covalently linked complex. Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) UL49.5 (a gN homolog) contains two predicted cysteine residues, C42 and C78. The C42 is highly conserved among the alphaherpesvirus gN homologs (e.g., herpes simplex virus 1 and pseudorabies virus). To identify which cysteine residue is required for the formation of the UL49.5/gM complex and to characterize the functional significance of the UL49.5/gM complex, we constructed and analyzed C42S and C78S substitution mutants in either a BHV-1 wild type (wt) or BHV-1 UL49.5 cytoplasmic tail-null (CT-null) virus background. The results demonstrated that BHV-1 UL49.5 residue C42 but not C78 was essential for the formation of the covalently linked functional UL49.5/gM complex, gM maturation in the Golgi compartment, and efficient cell-to-cell spread of the virus. Interestingly, the C42S and CT-null mutations separately did not affect mutant UL49.5 virion incorporation. However, when both of the mutations were introduced simultaneously, the UL49.5 C42S/CT-null protein virion incorporation was severely reduced. Incidentally, the anti-VP22 antibody coimmunoprecipitated the UL49.5 C42S/CT-null mutant protein at a noticeably reduced level compared to that of the individual UL49.5 C42S and CT-null mutant proteins. As expected, in a dual UL49.5 C42S/VP22Δ virus with deletion of VP22 (VP22Δ), the UL49.5 C42S virion incorporation was also severely reduced while in a gMΔ virus, UL49.5 virion incorporation was affected only slightly. Together, these results suggested that UL49.5 virion incorporation is mediated redundantly, by both UL49.5/gM functional complex and VP22, through a putative gM-independent novel UL49.5 and VP22 interaction.IMPORTANCE Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) envelope protein UL49.5 is an important virulence determinant because it downregulates major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I). UL49.5 also forms a covalently linked complex with gM. The results of this study demonstrate that UL49.5 regulates gM maturation and virus cell-to-cell spread since gM maturation in the Golgi compartment depends on covalently linked UL49.5/gM complex. The results also show that the UL49.5 residue cysteine 42 (C42) mediates the formation of the covalently linked UL49.5-gM interaction. Furthermore, a C42S mutant virus in which UL49.5 cannot interact with gM has defective cell-to-cell spread. Interestingly, UL49.5 also interacts with the tegument protein VP22 via its cytoplasmic tail (CT). The putative UL49.5 CT-VP22 interaction is essential for a gM-independent UL49.5 virion incorporation and is revealed when UL49.5 and gM are not linked. Therefore, UL49.5 virion incorporation is mediated by UL49.5-gM complex interaction and through a gM-independent interaction between UL49.5 and VP22.

Abstract
We constructed a recombinant bovine herpesvirus type 1 triple mutant virus (BoHV-1 tmv) that lacks UL49.5 residues 30-32 and 80-96, gE cytoplasmic tail (gE CT) residues 452-575 and the entire 435 bp long Us9 ORF. To develop a gE CT-specific blocking ELISA test that is necessary to distinguish the BoHV-1 tmv vaccinated calves from the wild-type (wt) virus-infected calves, a mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2H8F3 was generated by using the Escherichia coli expressed gE CT residues 452-575. Further, by performing a PEPSCAN analysis of 12 mer overlapping peptides spanning the entire gE CT, the epitope sequence recognized by the mAb2H8F3 was mapped within the gE CT residues 499SDDDGPASN507. A blocking ELISA test was then developed for detecting antibodies in wild-type BoHV-1 infected calves against the gE CT epitope specified by 499SDDDGPASN507. The assay is based on the use of HRP conjugated mAb2H8F3 and the E. coli expressed gE CT protein as an indicator antibody and a coating antigen, respectively. In this assay, serum from entire gE-deleted and BoHV-1 tmv-infected calves scored negative, whereas serum from calves infected with BoHV-1 wt scored positive. Therefore, the gE CT-ELISA, based on the mAb2H8F3 and E. coli expressed gE CT protein, is suitable for differentiating the wt virus-infected and BoHV-1 tmv-vaccinated cattle.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) causes respiratory infections and abortions in cattle, and is an important component of bovine respiratory disease complex, which causes a considerable economic loss worldwide. Several efforts have been made to produce safer and more effective vaccines. One of these vaccines is a glycoprotein E (gE)-deleted marker vaccine which is currently mandated for use in EU countries. In the present study, we have constructed a three-gene-mutated BoHV-1 vaccine virus (UL49.5 luminal domain residues 30-32 and cytoplasmic tail residues 80-96 deleted, gE cytoplasmic tail- and entire Us9-deleted) and compared its protective vaccine efficacy in calves after intranasal vaccination with that of a gE-deleted virus. Following vaccination, both the triple mutant and gE-deleted vaccine virus replicated well in the nasal epithelium of the calves. The vaccinated calves did not show any clinical signs. Four weeks post-vaccination, the animals were challenged intranasally with a virulent BoHV-1 wild-type virus. Based on clinical signs, both the gE-deleted and triple mutant group were protected equally against the virulent BoHV-1 challenge. However, based on the quantity and duration of nasal viral shedding, virus neutralizing antibody and cellular immune responses, the triple mutant virus vaccine induced a significantly better protective immune response than the gE-deleted virus vaccine. Notably, after the virulent BoHV-1 challenge, the triple mutant virus vaccinated group cleared the challenge virus three days earlier than the BoHV-1 gE-deleted virus vaccinated group.

Abstract
AbstractBovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) causes a variety of diseases and is globally distributed. It infects via mucosal epithelium, leading to rapid lytic replication and latent infection, primarily in sensory ganglia. Large amounts of virus can be excreted by the host on primary infection or upon recrudescence of latent infection, resulting in disease spread. The bovine immune response to BHV-1 is rapid, robust, balanced, and long-lasting. The innate immune system is the first to respond to the infection, with type I interferons (IFNs), inflammatory cytokines, killing of infected host cells, and priming of a balanced adaptive immune response. The virus possesses a variety of immune evasion strategies, including inhibition of type I IFN production, chemokine and complement binding, infection of macrophages and neutrophils, and latency. BHV-1 immune suppression contributes to the severity of its disease manifestations and to the bovine respiratory disease complex, the leading cause of cattle death loss in the USA.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) envelope protein U(L)49.5 inhibits transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) and down-regulates cell-surface expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules to promote immune evasion. Earlier, we have constructed a BHV-1U(L)49.5Δ30-32 CT-null virus and determined that in the infected cells, TAP inhibition and MHC-I down regulation properties of the virus are abolished. In this study, we compared the pathogenicity and immune responses in calves infected with BHV-1U(L)49.5Δ30-32 CT-null and BHV-1 wt viruses. Following primary infection, both BHV-1 wt and BHV-1U(L)49.5Δ30-32 CT-null virus replicated in the nasal epithelium with very similar yields. BHV-1 antigen-specific CD8+ T cell proliferation as well as CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity in calves infected with the BHV-1U(L)49.5Δ30-32 CT-null virus peaked by 7 dpi (P<0.05) which is 7 days earlier than that of BHV-1 wt-infected calves. Further, virus neutralizing antibody (VN Ab) titers and IFN-γ producing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in the U(L)49.5 mutant virus-infected calves, also peaked 7 days (IFN-γ; P<0.05) and 14 days (VN Ab; P<0.05) earlier, respectively. Therefore, relative to wt in the BHV-1U(L)49.5 mutant virus-infected calves, primary neutralizing antibody and cellular immune responses were induced significantly more rapidly.

We have constructed a BHV-1 UL49.5 cytoplasmic tail (CT) null and several UL49.5 luminal domain mutants in the backbone of wild-type BHV-1 or BHV-1 UL49.5 CT- null viruses and determined their relative TAP mediated peptide transport inhibition and MHC-1 down-regulation properties compared with BHV-1 wt. Based on our results, the UL49.5 luminal domain residues 30–32 and UL49.5 CT residues, together, promote efficient TAP inhibition and MHC-I down-regulation functions. In vitro, BHV-1 UL49.5 Δ30–32 CT-null virus growth property was similar to that of BHV-1 wt and like the wt UL49.5, the mutant UL49.5 was incorporated in the virion envelope and it formed a complex with gM in the infected cells.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the functional role of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) Us9 acidic domain residues 83-90 in the anterograde axonal transport of the virus in calves (natural host), rabbits, and in cultured neurons. A mutant virus strain lacking Us9 residues 83-90 (BHV-1 Us9 Δ83-90) and the rescued virus (BHV-1 Us9 R83-90) replicated efficiently in the nasal and ocular epithelium during primary infection and established latency in the trigeminal ganglia (TG). However, upon reactivation from latency, only the BHV-1 Us9 R83-90 virus was detected in nasal and ocular swabs of animals. In compartmentalized, rabbit primary dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neuron cultures, the Us9-deleted BHV-1, BHV-1 Us9 Δ83-90 and BHV-1 Us9 R83-90 viruses were transported efficiently in the retrograde direction. However, only the BHV-1 Us9 R83-90 virus was transported in an anterograde direction. These studies suggested that the Us9 acidic domain residues located between 83 and 90 were required for axonal anterograde transport.

Abstract
The membrane protein encoded by the US9 gene of alphaherpesviruses plays an important role during virion assembly and transport in neurons. Here, we demonstrate that in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) strain KOS, due to base substitutions, the predicted TATA-box of US9 is mutated, and a premature stop is present at codon 58 of US9, which contains 91 codons in other HSV-1 strains. The TATA-box mutation also removes the native stop codon of the adjacent US8A gene, leading to extension of the coding region from 160 to 191 codons. Northern blot analyses revealed reduced transcription of US9 in cells infected with HSV-1 KOS. Moreover, a US9-specific antiserum did not detect any gene products in Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses of KOS-infected cells, indicating that the truncated protein is not stable. In contrast, Western blot reactions of a pUS8A-specific antiserum confirmed enlargement of this protein in HSV-1 KOS.

Abstract
The requirement of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BoHV-1) envelope protein gE (Us8 homolog) for establishment of latency and reactivation in trigeminal ganglia (TG) was examined. Although BHV-1 gE-rescued and gE-deleted viruses were isolated from nasal or ocular swabs during primary infection, only the gE-rescued virus was isolated following dexamethasone-induced reactivation. Furthermore, gC protein expression, which requires viral DNA replication for its expression, was detected in TG of calves infected with either virus following reactivation. These studies suggest that gE is required for anterograde transport of BoHV-1 from neuronal cell bodies in the TG to their nerve processes.

Abstract
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) Us9 is a small, tail-anchored (TA) membrane protein that is essential for axonal sorting of viral structural proteins and is highly conserved among other members of the alphaherpesvirus subfamily. We cloned the Us9 homologs from two human pathogens, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), as well as two veterinary pathogens, equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) and bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1), and fused them to enhanced green fluorescent protein to examine their subcellular localization and membrane topology. Akin to PRV Us9, all of the Us9 homologs localized to the trans-Golgi network and had a type II membrane topology (typical of TA proteins). Furthermore, we examined whether any of the Us9 homologs could compensate for the loss of PRV Us9 in anterograde, neuron-to-cell spread of infection in a compartmented chamber system. EHV-1 and BHV-1 Us9 were able to fully compensate for the loss of PRV Us9, whereas VZV and HSV-1 Us9 proteins were unable to functionally replace PRV Us9 when they were expressed in a PRV background.

Abstract
Vários aspectos da biologia do herpesvírus bovino tipo 5 (BoHV-5) têm sido estudados em coelhos, que desenvolvem infecção aguda e doença neurológica após inoculação experimental. A infecção aguda é seguida pelo estabelecimento de infecção latente, que pode ser reativada natural ou artificialmente. Os primeiros experimentos nesta espécie estabeleceram um protocolo de inoculação e monitoramento da infecção, e caracterizaram os principais aspectos virológicos, clínicos e patológicos da infecção aguda. A patogenia da infecção aguda, desde a replicação viral nos sítios de inoculação, vias e cinética de transporte viral até o encéfalo, distribuição e replicação viral no sistema nervoso central (SNC), tropismo celular e tecidual, manifestações clínicas e patologia no SNC foram detalhadamente estudados nestes animais. Posteriormente, vários aspectos biológicos e moleculares da infecção latente também foram elucidados a partir de inoculações de coelhos. Os coelhos também têm sido utilizados para estudar o fenótipo (neuroinvasividade, neurovirulência) de isolados de campo e de cepas vacinais recombinantes, proteção por imunidade passiva, proteção vacinal, eficácia de drogas anti-virais e terapêuticas de suporte da infecção neurológica. Este modelo experimental também foi utilizado para o estudo da origem e distribuição dos estímulos elétricos produzidos durante as convulsões - uma característica da infecção neurológica pelo BoHV-5 -, e para testes de medicamentos anti-convulsivantes. Ressalvadas as diferenças que certamente existem entre bovinos - os hospedeiros naturais - e coelhos, as observações oriundas deste modelo experimental tem contribuído sobremaneira para o conhecimento da biologia do BoHV-5. O presente trabalho apresenta uma coletânea de resultados e observações, publicadas ou não pelo grupo, ao longo de mais de uma década, envolvendo inoculações de coelhos para estudar diversos aspectos da infecção pelo BoHV-5.

Abstract
The pseudorabies virus (PRV) Us9 protein plays a central role in targeting viral capsids and glycoproteins to axons of dissociated sympathetic neurons. As a result, Us9 null mutants are defective in anterograde transmission of infection in vivo. However, it is unclear how Us9 promotes axonal sorting of so many viral proteins. It is known that the glycoproteins gB, gC, gD and gE are associated with lipid raft microdomains on the surface of infected swine kidney cells and monocytes, and are directed into the axon in a Us9-dependent manner. In this report, we determined that Us9 is associated with lipid rafts, and that this association is critical to Us9-mediated sorting of viral structural proteins. We used infected non-polarized and polarized PC12 cells, a rat pheochromocytoma cell line that acquires many of the characteristics of sympathetic neurons in the presence of nerve growth factor (NGF). In these cells, Us9 is highly enriched in detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs). Moreover, reducing the affinity of Us9 for lipid rafts inhibited anterograde transmission of infection from sympathetic neurons to epithelial cells in vitro. We conclude that association of Us9 with lipid rafts is key for efficient targeting of structural proteins to axons and, as a consequence, for directional spread of PRV from pre-synaptic to post-synaptic neurons and cells of the mammalian nervous system.

Abstract
Infection of cattle by bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) can lead to upper respiratory tract disorders, conjunctivitis, genital disorders and immune suppression. BHV-1-induced immune suppression initiates bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), which costs the US cattle industry approximately 3 billion dollars annually. BHV-1 encodes at least three proteins that can inhibit specific arms of the immune system: (i) bICP0 inhibits interferon-dependent transcription, (ii) the UL41.5 protein inhibits CD8+ T-cell recognition of infected cells by preventing trafficking of viral peptides to the surface of the cells and (iii) glycoprotein G is a chemokine-binding protein that prevents homing of lymphocytes to sights of infection. Following acute infection of calves, BHV-1 can also infect and induce high levels of apoptosis of CD4+ T-cells. Consequently, the ability of BHV-1 to impair the immune response can lead to BRDC. Following acute infection, BHV-1 establishes latency in sensory neurons of trigeminal ganglia (TG) and germinal centers of pharyngeal tonsil. Periodically BHV-1 reactivates from latency, virus is shed, and consequently virus transmission occurs. Two viral genes, the latency related gene and ORF-E are abundantly expressed during latency, suggesting that they regulate the latency-reactivation cycle. The ability of BHV-1 to enter permissive cells, infect sensory neurons and promote virus spread from sensory neurons to mucosal surfaces following reactivation from latency is also regulated by several viral glycoproteins. The focus of this review is to summarize the biology of BHV-1 and how this relates to BRDC.

Abstract
In this study, the authors examined the role of bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) Us9 in the anterograde transport of the virus from trigeminal ganglia (TG) to nose and eye upon reactivation from latency. During primary infection, both BHV-1 Us9-deleted and BHV-1 Us9-rescued viruses replicated efficiently in the nasal and ocular epithelium. However, upon reactivation from latency, only the BHV-1 Us9-rescued virus could be isolated in the nasal and ocular shedding. By real-time polymerase chain reaction, comparable DNA copy numbers were detected in the TGs during latency and reactivation for both the viruses. Therefore, Us9 is essential for reactivation of the virus in the TG and anterograde axonal transport from TG to nose and eye.

Abstract
Bovine herpesvirus 5 (BHV-5) is a neurovirulent alpha-herpesvirus that causes fatal encephalitis in calves. We previously demonstrated that deletion of a glycine-rich epitope in the gE ectodomain dramatically reduced BHV-5 neurovirulence. To investigate the role of gE cytoplasmic tail sequences in the neuropathogenesis of BHV-5 in rabbits, we constructed a BHV-5gE recombinant virus with a short residual cytoplasmic domain lacking the YXXL motifs and the acidic (BHV-5gEAm480). In vitro, BHV-5gEAm480 produced on the average smaller plaques, compared with wild-type BHV-5, but it produced on the average substantially larger plaques than the gE ORF-deleted BHV-5. The truncated gE was not phosphorylated, and was not endocytosed from the cell surface. Importantly, the truncated gE was not incorporated into enveloped infectious virions, but its glycosylation and interaction with gI were not affected. In a rabbit model of infection, the BHV-5gEAm480 remained highly virulent, while the gE-null virus was avirulent. The gEAm480 mutant virus invaded most of the central nervous system (CNS) structures that are invaded by the wild-type BHV-5. The number of neurons infected by BHV-5gEAm480 was very similar to the number infected by BHV-5 wild-type and gEAm480-rescued viruses. Collectively, the results suggest that gE functions in transsynaptic transmission of BHV-5 and neurovirulence without being a structural component of the virion particle.

Abstract
Many membranous organelles and protein complexes are normally transported anterograde within axons to the presynaptic terminal, and details of the motors, adaptors and cargoes have received significant attention. Much less is known about the transport in neurons of non-membrane bound particles, such as mRNAs and their associated proteins. We propose that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV) can be used to study the detailed mechanisms regulating long distance transport of particles in axons. A critical step in the transmission of HSV from one infected neuron to the next is the polarized anterograde axonal transport of viral DNA from the host infected nerve cell body to the axon terminal. Using the in vivo mouse retinal ganglion cell model infected with wild type virus or a mutant strain that lacks the protein Us9, we found that Us9 protein was necessary for long distance anterograde axonal transport of viral nucleocapsid (DNA surrounded by capsid proteins), but unnecessary for transport of virus envelope. Thus, we conclude that nucleocapsid can be transported independently down axons via a Us9-dependent mechanism.
