Penetration of Semliki Forest virus from acidic prelysosomal vacuoles
Abstract
To identify and characterize the intracellular site from which the penetration of Semliki Forest virus (SFV) to the cytosolic compartment of the host cell occurs, we determined the time course and temperature dependence of nucleocapsid uncoating and infection in BHK-21 cells. At 37 degrees C the genome release to the cytosol was detected within 5-7 min after virus endocytosis, whereas delivery of the virus particles to secondary lysosomes occurred within 15-20 min. At temperatures of 15 degrees -20 degrees C virus particles were internalized by endocytosis, but they were not delivered to the secondary lysosomes. Nevertheless, at 20 degrees C nucleocapsid uncoating and infection occurred, indicating that secondary lysosomes are not required for SFV penetration. We conclude that the penetration reaction occurs in prelysosomal endocytic vacuoles (endosomes). As SFV penetration by membrane fusion requires a pH less than 6 and the presence of cholesterol in the target membrane, the data indicate that endosomes are acidic and contain cholesterol.
