We generated a recombinant influenza A virus (Mmut) that produced low levels of matrix (M1) and M2 proteins in infected cells. Mmut virus propagated to significantly lower titers than did wild-type virus in cells infected at low multiplicity. By contrast, virion morphology and incorporation of viral proteins and vRNAs into virus particles were similar to those of wild-type virus. We propose that a threshold amount of M1 protein is needed for the assembly of viral components into an infectious particle and that budding is delayed in Mmut virus-infected cells until sufficient levels of M1 protein accumulate at the plasma membrane.
我们构建了一种重组甲型流感病毒(Mmut),该病毒在感染细胞中产生低水平的基质(M1)蛋白和M2蛋白。在低感染复数感染的细胞中,Mmut病毒增殖至显著低于野生型病毒的滴度。相比之下,病毒粒子形态以及病毒蛋白和病毒RNA掺入病毒粒子的情况与野生型病毒相似。我们提出,病毒成分组装成感染性粒子需要一定阈值量的M1蛋白,并且在Mmut病毒感染的细胞中出芽延迟,直到足够水平的M1蛋白在质膜上积累。
