RESUMO
We report on the replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and viral glycoprotein processing in RicR14 cells, a mutant ricin-resistant cell line defective in N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase I activity. In these cells HSV-1(MP) and (F) replicated to yields very similar to those in parental BHK cells. The kinetics of HSV-1 adsorption in mutant and in parent cells was also essentially identical. Progeny virions from ricin-resistant and wild-type cells displayed comparable specific infectivities. However, in the mutant cells the efficiency of plating of progeny virus from both RicR14 and BHK cells was reduced. HSV-1(MP) failed to induce syncytia in RicR14 cells either in a plaque assay or after a high-multiplicity infection. Moreover, the fully glycosylated forms of glycoproteins (gB, gC, and gD) were totally absent, and only the partially glycosylated precursors (pgC, pgD. and a triplet in the gB-gA region) accumulated in HSV-1-infected ricin-resistant cells and in herpesvirions made in these cells. Consistent with these results analysis of pronase glycopeptides from cells labeled with [14C]glucosamine showed a strong decrease of sialylated complex-type oligosaccharides and a dramatic accumulation of the neutral mannose-rich chains. The latter chains predominate in partially glycosylated precursors, whereas the complex acidic chains predominate in the fully processed forms of HSV glycoproteins. These results taken together indicate that (i) host-cell N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase I participates in the processing of HSV glycoproteins; and (ii) infectivity of herpesvirions does not necessarily require the mature form of gB. The absence of HSV-1(MP)-induced fusion in RicR14 cells is discussed.
