| Abstract | Glycoproteins gE and gI of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) are type I transmembrane proteins that can form a complex that is involved in cell-to-cell spread mechanisms. The extracellular domains of both proteins have cysteine-rich regions that are also found in the homologous proteins of other alphaherpesviruses. The extracellular domain of gE has two conserved cysteine-rich regions: C1 and C2. The other conserved regions in gE are located between C2 and transmembrane region and in the cytoplasmic domain of gE. We studied the complex formation between gE and gI using a series of truncated gE proteins and a full length form and a secreted form of gI. All proteins were expressed in recombinant baculoviruses. To analyse the complex formation between these polypeptides we used monoclonal antibodies (MAbs 67 and 75) that specifically react with the gE/gI complex and not with separately expressed glycoproteins gE and gI alone. This analysis showed that the BHV-1 gE/gI complex can be formed in insect cells after a co-infection with baculoviruses expressing gE and gI in their full length form. When secreted forms of gE and gI were expressed after co-infection, the gE/gI complex was still formed and could also be detected in the tissue culture medium. This gE/gI complex was also formed after mixing the tissue culture media of insect cells expressing the secreted form or gE or gI separately. The smallest part of gE that still formed a complex is encoded by the first 246 residues of gE. This extracellular domain contains only the C1 region, showing that the C2 region is not essential for gE/gI complex formation. Shorter forms of gE encoding the C1 region did not form a detectable complex. We also found that the formation of gE/gI complex is not sufficient for normal cell-to-cell spread of BHV-1. A recombinant BHV-1 gE TM-virus, expressing a truncated glycoprotein E from which the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain were removed, forms plaques as small as a gE null mutant. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
