Abstract
A biotinylation assay was used to detect the envelope glycoprotein of the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) envelope glycoprotein expressed by a recombinant vaccinia virus on the surface of HeLa T4 cells. The relationship between the detection of the envelope glycoprotein on the cell surface and its secretion from the cell was examined. It was found that much more gp120 was released into the culture medium than could be accounted for by shedding of the biotinylated SIV envelope protein from the cell surface. Treatment with the ionophore monensin showed that this drug did not block the secretion of gp120 into the culture medium even though the expression of gp120 on the cell surface was strongly downregulated. Similar results were observed for the secretion of gp120 in HUT78 cells infected with SIVmac251 virus. Brefeldin A, on the other hand, inhibited both the detection of gp120 on the cell surface and its secretion into the culture medium. On the basis of these results, we propose that gp120 can be secreted into the culture medium via at least two pathways. One pathway involves the dissociation of gp120 from membrane-associated gp41-gp120 complexes on the cell surface. However, the major pathway involves the secretion of gp120 without its transitory appearance on the cell surface as part of a gp41-gp120 complex.
