Abstract

The DNA sequence was determined for a region of the pseudorabies virus (PRV) genome to which a mutation defining resistance to a monoclonal antibody has been mapped (M. W. Wathen and L. M. K. Wathen, J. Virol., 51:57-62, 1984). This sequence was found to contain an open reading frame that did not include an amino acid sequence directing N-linked glycosylation. This open reading frame was expressed in uninfected Chinese hamster ovary cells to produce the PRV glycoprotein gp50. When PRV-infected Vero cells were incubated in the presence of tunicamycin, the gp50 that was produced had an identical molecular weight to that produced in the absence of drug. When infected cells were incubated in the presence of monensin, the molecular weight of gp50 was reduced from 60,000 to 45,000, but was not sensitive to endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. These observations led to the conclusion that gp50 does not contain N-linked carbohydrate, as predicted from the DNA sequence. A region of the amino acid sequence and the positions of the cysteine residues of PRV gp50 are homologous to glycoprotein D of herpes simplex virus.
