The alphaherpesvirus tegument protein VP22 has been characterized with multiple traits including microtubule reorganization, nuclear localization, and nonclassical intercellular trafficking. However, all these data were derived from studies using herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and may not apply to VP22 homologs of other alphaherpesviruses. We compared subcellular attributes of HSV-1 VP22 (HVP22) with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) VP22 (BVP22) using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fused VP22 expression vectors. Fluorescence microscopy of cell lines transfected with these constructs revealed differences as well as similarities between the two VP22 homologs. Compared to that of HVP22, the BVP22 microtubule interaction was much less pronounced. The VP22 nuclear interaction varied, with a marbled or halo appearance for BVP22 and a speckled or nucleolus-bound appearance for HVP22. Both VP22 homologs associated with chromatin at various stages of mitosis and could traffic from expressing cells to the nuclei of nonexpressing cells. However, distinct qualitative differences in microtubule, nuclear, and chromatin association as well as trafficking were observed. The differences in VP22 homolog characteristics revealed in this study will help define VP22 function within HSV-1 and BHV-1 infection.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
