Sequences within the VP6 molecule of bluetongue virus that determine cytoplasmic and nuclear targeting of the protein
C K Yi et al. J Virol. 1996 Jul.
Abstract
Genome segment 9 of bluetongue virus serotype 10 encodes the minor protein VP6. The protein is abundant with basic residues particularly in two regions of the carboxy half of the molecule. A series of amino- and carboxy-terminal deletion mutants was expressed in mammalian cells by using a vaccinia virus T7 polymerase-driven transient expression system, and the intracellular fate of the products was monitored by both immunofluorescence staining and cell fractionation techniques. Data obtained indicated clearly that VP6 has nuclear transportation signals which may be correlated with positively charged domains of the molecule. In the intact molecule, though, these signals are masked and the protein is retained in the cytoplasm. The biochemical and immunofluorescence data obtained indicate that sequences in the region of residues 33 to 80 of the 328-amino acid protein are required for the retention of VP6 within the cell cytoplasm while amino acids 303 to 308 in the carboxy-terminal half of the molecule appear to possess nuclear localization capabilities.
