Virology2011; 412(2); 366-377; doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2011.01.025

The UL4 protein of equine herpesvirus 1 is not essential for replication or pathogenesis and inhibits gene expression controlled by viral and heterologous promoters.

Abstract: Defective interfering particles (DIP) of equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) inhibit standard virus replication and mediate persistent infection. The DIP genome is comprised of only three genes: UL3, UL4, and a hybrid gene composed of portions of the IR4 (EICP22) and UL5 (EICP27) genes. The hybrid gene is important for DIP interference, but the function(s) of the UL3 and UL4 genes are unknown. Here, we show that UL4 is an early gene activated solely by the immediate early protein. The UL4 protein (UL4P) was detected at 4hours post-infection, was localized throughout the nucleus and cytoplasm, and was not present in purified virions. EHV-1 lacking UL4P expression was infectious and displayed cell tropism and pathogenic properties in the mouse model similar to those of parental and revertant viruses. Reporter assays demonstrated that the UL4P has a broad inhibitory function, suggesting a potential role in establishing and/or maintaining DIP-mediated persistent infection.

Summary

This research investigates the role of the UL4 protein in equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1), finding it unnecessary for the virus’s replication or pathogenesis and having an inhibitory effect on gene expression.

The Role and Impact of the UL4 Protein

  • Often found in defective interfering particles (DIPs) of equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1), the UL4 protein, also known as UL4P, had an unknown function prior to this research.
  • This research reveals that UL4P acts as an early gene that is activated purely by the immediate early protein. It is detected four hours after infection and is located throughout the cellular nucleus and cytoplasm.
  • The UL4 protein was not seen in purified virions, suggesting that it is not incorporated into viral particles.

UL4 Protein and Virus Replication and Pathogenesis

  • The research demonstrates that even in the absence of UL4P expression, EHV-1 remains infectious. This indicates that UL4P is not an essential part of the virus’s replication process.
  • Even without UL4P, the virus displayed similar levels of cell tropism and pathogenic properties when examined in a mouse model, as compared to parental and revertant viruses.

Inhibitory Function of the UL4 Protein

  • The research finds that the UL4P broadly inhibits gene expression, demonstrating its operating role and effects on the virus.
  • This inhibitory function of the UL4 protein could point to a potential role it plays in establishing and/or maintaining DIP-mediated persistent infection.
  • However, the exact method and extent of this inhibitory role, especially in regard to its potential for aiding persistent infection, needs further investigation.
