A glycoprotein M-deleted equid herpesvirus 4 is severely impaired in virus egress and cell-to-cell spread

Abstract: To analyse the function of the equid herpesvirus 4 (EHV-4) glycoprotein M homologue (gM), two different mutated viruses (E4DgM-GFP and E4DgM-w) were generated. Both gM-negative EHV-4-mutants were characterized on complementing and on non-complementing cells and compared with E4RgM, a virus where gM-expression had been repaired. It was demonstrated in virus growth kinetics that deleting gM had a more dramatic influence on EHV-4 replication than expected. Extracellular infectivity was detected 9-12 h later than … Show more

“…All gN homologs investigated so far form a complex with the transmembrane (glyco)protein M (gM) (8,15,21,23,30,34,39). The gN/gM complex is implicated in such processes as maturation of virions and control of membrane fusion (31,32,40). The immune evasion properties of UL49.5 have been found in several varicelloviruses, including pseudorabies virus and equine herpesvirus 1 in addition to BHV-1 (18).…”

“…Of the latter, those mediating viral entry, namely, gB, gD, and the gH/gL complex, are essential for the propagation of the virus (3). In contrast, the viral glycoprotein M (gM) is conserved throughout the family and typically critical for beta-and gammaherpesviruses but is not essential for most alphaherpesviruses, including HSV-1 (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Consequently, when gM is depleted from HSV-1 or the related alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus, viral yields are minimally reduced by 3-to 50-fold.…”

“…Moreover, PrV gM interacts via its cytoplasmic tail with the major tegument protein pUL49 (12). Interestingly, in the mammalian alphaherpesviruses HSV-1, PrV, and equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) deletion of gM only slightly affected replication (6,10,35,49), whereas the gM homologs of Marek's disease virus, HCMV, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EHV-4, and murine gammaherpesvirus 68 are required for efficient virus replication in cell culture (17,29,36,58,61), indicating differing requirements within the Herpesviridae also for this protein.…”
