A Sindbis virus (SV) variant with a 6K gene partially deleted has been obtained. This SV Del6K virus is defective in the proteolytic processing of virus glycoprotein precursor, transport of glycoproteins to the plasma membrane, and plaque phenotype. A revertant virus (SV Del6K-revQ21L) containing a point mutation in the deleted 6K gene was isolated and characterized. SV Del6K-revQ21L has corrected the defects of proteolytic processing and transport of virus glycoproteins to the plasma membrane, but it still remains attenuated compared to wild-type (wt) SV, exhibiting defects in virus budding. Neither mutant nor revertant viruses are complemented by the coexpression in trans of a wt SV 6K gene.
已获得一种6K基因部分缺失的辛德毕斯病毒(SV)变体。这种SV Del6K病毒在病毒糖蛋白前体的蛋白水解加工、糖蛋白向质膜的转运以及蚀斑表型方面存在缺陷。分离并鉴定了一种在缺失的6K基因中含有一个点突变的回复病毒(SV Del6K-revQ21L)。SV Del6K-revQ21L已纠正了病毒糖蛋白的蛋白水解加工和向质膜转运的缺陷,但与野生型(wt)SV相比仍表现出减毒,在病毒出芽方面存在缺陷。野生型SV 6K基因的反式共表达均不能互补突变病毒和回复病毒。
