Release of fatty acids from virus glycoproteins by hydroxylamine
Abstract
The fatty acids bound to the glycoproteins of Sindbis and vesicular stomatitis viruses can be released by treating the protein with 1 M hydroxylamine at pH 8.0, but the rates of release vary greatly among the three proteins. The most labile fatty acyl bonds were in the Sindbis virus PE2/E2 proteins and the most stable were in the E1 protein. Some of the fatty acids in Sindbis virus glycoproteins were reduced to the alcohol after treatment with sodium borohydride, indicating that protein-bound fatty acids could be in thiolester linkage. Sindbis virus PE2/E2 has several cysteine residues near the carboxy terminus, a region of the protein postulated to be localized on the inside (cytoplasmic face) of the bilayer, and protease digestion of microsomal membranes containing E2 protein removed a small portion of this cytoplasmic tail as well as significant amounts of the fatty acid. For the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein, the sensitivity of fatty acid hydrolysis appeared to depend on the conformation of the protein and a significant fraction of G protein was converted to a disulfide-linked dimer by hydroxylamine. These data implicate cysteinyl groups on these proteins as sites involved in fatty acid acylation.
