Several temperature-sensitive mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus in complementation group III produce, at nonpermissive temperature, noninfectious particles which contain the viral M (matrix) and G (glycoprotein) proteins but less than 10% of the normal proportion of N protein or RNA. Since group III mutants are thought to be defective in the structural gene for the virus M protein, these findings demonstrate that an interaction between M and the nucleocapsid is of importance in virus budding. Taken together with earlier results, they suggest that M is the key protein in bud formation.
水泡性口炎病毒互补群III中的几个温度敏感突变体在非允许温度下产生非感染性颗粒,这些颗粒含有病毒的M(基质)蛋白和G(糖蛋白),但N蛋白或RNA的含量不到正常比例的10%。由于认为III组突变体在病毒M蛋白的结构基因上存在缺陷,这些发现表明M与核衣壳之间的相互作用在病毒出芽过程中很重要。结合早期结果,这些发现提示M是出芽形成中的关键蛋白。
