Adenovirus Protein VI Mediates Membrane Disruption following Capsid Disassembly

Abstract

In contrast to enveloped viruses, the mechanisms involved in membrane penetration by nonenveloped viruses are not as well understood. In these studies, we determined the relationship between adenovirus (Ad) capsid disassembly and the development of membrane lytic activity. Exposure to low pH or heating induced conformational changes in wild-type Ad but not in temperature-sensitive Ad ( ts 1) particles that fail to escape the early endosome. Wild-type Ad but not ts 1 particles permeabilized model membranes (liposomes) and facilitated the cytosolic delivery of a ribotoxin. Alterations in wild-type Ad capsids were associated with the exposure of a pH-independent membrane lytic factor. Unexpectedly, this factor was identified as protein VI, a 22-kDa cement protein located beneath the peripentonal hexons in the viral capsid. Recombinant protein VI and preprotein VI, but not a deletion mutant lacking an N-terminal amphipathic α-helix, possessed membrane lytic activity similar to partially disassembled virions. A new model of Ad entry is proposed based on our present observations of capsid disassembly and membrane penetration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
