A role for 3- O-sulfotransferase isoform-4 in assisting HSV-1 entry and spread
Many heparan sulfate (HS) 3- O-sulfotransferase (3- OST) isoforms generate cellular receptors for herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD). Interestingly, the ability of 3- OST-4 to mediate HSV-1 entry and cell-to-cell fusion has not been determined, although it is predominantly expre...

Zusammenfassung: | Many heparan sulfate (HS) 3-
O-sulfotransferase (3-
OST) isoforms generate cellular receptors for herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD). Interestingly, the ability of 3-
OST-4 to mediate HSV-1 entry and cell-to-cell fusion has not been determined, although it is predominantly expressed in the brain, a primary target of HSV-1 infections. We report that expression of 3-
OST-4 can render Chinese hamster ovary K1 (CHO-K1) cells susceptible to entry of wild-type and a mutant (Rid1) strain of HSV-1. Evidence for generation of gD receptors by 3-
OST-4 was suggested by gD-mediated interference assay and the ability of 3-
OST-4 expressing CHO-K1 cells to preferentially bind HSV-1 gD, which could be reversed by prior treatment of cells with HS lyases (heparinases-II/III). In addition, 3-
OST-4 expressing CHO-K1 cells acquired the ability to fuse with cells-expressing HSV-1 glycoproteins. Demonstrating specificity, the cell fusion was inhibited by soluble 3-O-sulfated forms of HS, but not unmodified HS. Taken together our results suggest a role of 3-
OST-4 in HSV-1 pathogenesis. |
