6- O - and N -Sulfated Syndecan-1 Promotes Baculovirus Binding and Entry into Mammalian Cells
2013
ABSTRACT Baculoviruses are insect-specific viruses commonly found in nature. They are not able to replicate in mammalian cells but can transduce them when equipped with an appropriate mammalian cell active expression cassette. Although the viruses have been studied in several types of mammalian cells from different origins, the receptor that baculovirus uses to enter or interact with mammalian cells has not yet been identified. Due to the wide tropism of the virus, the receptor has been suggested to be a generally found cell surface molecule. In this article, we investigated the interaction of baculovirus and mammalian cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) in more detail. Our da…

(1), we investigated the interaction ofbaculovirus and mammalian cell surface heparan sulfate pro-teoglycans (HSPG). The data show that baculovirus requiresHSPG sulfation, particularly N- and 6-O-sulfation, to bind andtransduce mammalian cells. We also show that baculovirus asso-ciates specifically with syndecan-1 (SDC-1) but not with othersyndecans or glypicans.As discussed in the article, HS has previously been shown to beinvolved in glycoprotein 64 (gp64)-mediated baculovirus bindingonto mammalian cells. Heparin and heparinase I and II treatmentof cells have also been shown to prevent the virus binding (2, 3).The role of HS in baculovirus entry was further studied in ourarticle (1). Bindi…
Cell Susceptibility to Baculovirus Transduction and Echovirus Infection Is Modified by Protein Kinase C Phosphorylation and Vimentin Organization
2013
ABSTRACT Some cell types are more susceptible to viral gene transfer or virus infection than others, irrespective of the number of viral receptors or virus binding efficacy on their surfaces. In order to characterize the cell-line-specific features contributing to efficient virus entry, we studied two cell lines (Ea.hy926 and MG-63) that are nearly nonpermissive to insect-specific baculovirus (BV) and the human enterovirus echovirus 1 (EV1) and compared their characteristics with those of a highly permissive (HepG2) cell line. All the cell lines contained high levels of viral receptors on their surfaces, and virus binding was shown to be efficient. However, in nonpermissive cells, BV and it…
