Enhancement of aquareovirus infectivity by treatment with proteases: mechanism of action.

T H McPhillips1, D Dinan, K Subramanian, S K Samal.   

Abstract

The effects of protease digestion on the polypeptide composition and on the infectivity of striped bass virus, an aquareovirus, were examined. Both trypsin and chymotrypsin enhanced the infectivity of the virus. Enhancement of infectivity was correlated with the digestion of the outer capsid protein, VP7. These studies support the assertion that VP7 is the outermost capsid protein and suggest that VP4 and VP5 are exposed on the outer surface of infectious particles. The possible role of VP7 in the variation in virulence observed among aquareovirus isolates is discussed.
