Abstract

The herpes simplex virus type 1 ICP35 assembly protein is involved in the formation of viral capsids. ICP35 is encoded by the UL26.5 gene and is specifically processed by the herpes simplex virus type 1 protease encoded by the UL26 gene. To better understand the functions of ICP35 in infected cells, we have isolated and characterized an ICP35 mutant virus, delta ICP35. The mutant virus was propagated in complementing 35J cells, which express wild-type ICP35. Phenotypic analysis of delta ICP35 shows that (i) mutant virus growth in Vero cells was severely restricted, although small amounts of progeny virus was produced; (ii) full-length ICP35 protein was not produced, although autoproteolysis of the protease still occurred in mutant-infected nonpermissive cells; (iii) viral DNA replication of the mutant proceeded at wild-type levels, but only a very small portion of the replicated DNA was processed to unit length and encapsidated; (iv) capsid structures were observed in delta ICP35-infected Vero cells by electron microscopy and by sucrose sedimentation analysis; (v) assembly of VP5 into hexons of the capsids was conformationally altered; and (vi) ICP35 has a novel function which is involved in the nuclear transport of VP5.
