Abstract

Two pools of the glycoprotein VP7 were detected in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of SA11 rotavirus-infected cells. One portion of the newly synthesized protein with VP3 composed the virus outer capsid, while the rest remained associated with the membrane. The two populations could be separated biochemically by fluorocarbon extraction or by immunological methods which used two classes of antibodies. A monoclonal antibody with neutralizing activity recognized VP7 only as displayed on intact virus particles, while a polyclonal antiserum precipitated predominantly the unassembled ER form of the protein and precipitated virus-assembled VP7 poorly. Virus-associated VP7 was localized by immunofluorescence to small punctate structures, presumably corresponding to accumulated virus particles, and to regions of the ER surrounding viroplasmic inclusions, whereas the membrane-associated molecules were distributed in an arborizing reticular pattern throughout the ER. VP3 and the nonstructural glycoprotein NCVP5 displayed a localization similar to that of virus-associated VP7. Intracellular virus particles were isolated from infected cells to determine the kinetics of assembly of VP7 and of the other structural proteins into virions. It was found that incorporation of the inner capsid proteins into single-shelled particles occurred rapidly, while VP7 and VP3 appeared in mature double-shelled particles with a lag time of 10 to 15 min. In addition, the alpha-mannosidase processing kinetics of virus-associated VP7 oligosaccharides showed a 15-min lag compared with that of the membrane-associated form, suggesting that the latter is the precursor to virion VP7. This lag may represent the time required for virus budding and outer capsid assembly.
