Abstract
AbstractDuck plague virus (DPV), a member of the alphaherpesviruses subfamily, causes massive ducks death and results in a devastating hit to duck industries in China. It is of great significance for us to analyze the functions of DPV genes for controlling the outbreak of duck plague. Thus, glycoproteins E (gE) of DPV, which requires viral cell-to-cell spreading and the final envelopment in herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus (PRV), was chosen herein. The gE mutant virus BAC-CHv-ΔgE was constructed by using a markerless two-step Red recombination system implemented on the DPV genome cloned into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC). Viral plaques on duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) cells of BAC-CHv-ΔgE were on average approximately 60% smaller than those produced by BAC-CHv virus. Viral replication kinetics showed that BAC-CHv-ΔgE grew to lower titers than BAC-CHv virus did in DEF cells. Electron microscopy confirmed that deleting of DPV gE resulted in a large number of capsids accumulating around vesicles and very few of them could bud into vesicles. The drastic inhibition of virion formation in the absence of the DPV gE indicated that it played an important role in virion morphogenesis before the final envelopment of intracytoplasmic nucleocapsids.
