Abstract

The UL20 open reading frame is positionally conserved in different alphaherpesvirus genomes and is predicted to encode an integral membrane protein. A previously described UL20- mutant of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) exhibited a defect in egress correlating with retention of virions in the perinuclear space (J. D. Baines, P. L. Ward, G. Campadelli-Fiume, and B. Roizman, J. Virol. 65:6414-6424, 1991). To analyze UL20 function in a related but different herpesvirus, we constructed a UL20- pseudorabies virus (PrV) mutant by insertional mutagenesis. Similar to HSV-1, UL20- PrV was found to be severely impaired in both cell-to-cell spread and release from cultured cells. The severity of this defect appeared to be cell type dependent, being more prominent in Vero than in human 143TK- cells. Surprisingly, electron microscopy revealed the retention of enveloped virus particles in cytoplasmic vesicles of Vero cells infected with UL20- PrV. This contrasts with the situation in the UL20- HSV-1 mutant, which accumulated virions in the perinuclear cisterna of Vero cells. Therefore, the UL20 gene products of PrV and HSV-1 appear to be involved in distinct steps of viral egress, acting in different intracellular compartments. This might be caused either by different functions of the UL20 proteins themselves or by generally different egress pathways of PrV and HSV-1 mediated by other viral gene products.
