Glycosylation and effect of protein transport inhibitors in the release of sGP3. (A) sGP3 was immunoprecipitated from the medium of AdCMV5/ORF3-infected and [35S]methionine-labelled 293 cells with α3 antiserum. The immunoprecipitates were left untreated (U) or were treated with either Endo H (H), Endo β (B), neuraminidase (N), and neuraminidase plus O-glycosidase (N+O). (B) 293 cells were infected with AdCMV5/ORF3 virus, in the absence of any drug (UNT) or in the presence of either TUN, BFA, or MNS. The culture medium was then processed for radioimmunoprecipitation with α3 antiserum. Positions and sizes of 14C-radiolabelled marker proteins are on the right. sP3 refers to the nonglycosylated released form of GP3.
