6、embly. One of its functions is to mediate the incorporation of the spikes into the viral envelope. Heterotypic interactions between M and the spike (S) protein can be demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation and by immunofl uorescence colocalization, after coexpression of their genes in eukaryotic cell
7、s. Using these assays in a mutagenetic approach, we have mapped the domains in the M protein that are involved in complex formation between M and S. It appeared that the 25-residue luminally exposed amino-terminal domain of the M protein is not important for M-S interaction. A 15-residue deletion, t
8、he insertion of a His tag, and replacement of the ectodomain by that of another coronavirus M protein did not affect the ability of the M protein to associate with the S protein. However, complex formation was sensitive to changes in the transmembrane domains of this triple-spanning protein. Deletio
9、n of either the fi rst two or the last two transmembrane domains, known not to affect the topology of the protein, led to a considerable decrease in complex formation, but association was not completely abrogated. Various effects of changes in the part of the M protein that is located at the cytopla
10、smic face of the membrane were observed. Deletions of the extreme carboxy-terminal tail appeared not to interfere with M-S complex formation. However, deletions in the amphipathic domain severely affected M-S interaction. Inter- estingly, changes in the amino-terminal and extreme carboxy-terminal do
11、mains of M, which did not disrupt the interaction with S, are known to be fatal to the ability of the protein to engage in virus particle formation (C. A. M. de Haan, L. Kuo, P. S. Masters, H. Vennema, and P. J. M. Rottier, J. Virol. 72:68386850, 1998). Apparently, the structural requirements of the
12、 M protein for virus particle assembly differ from the require- ments for the formation of M-S complexes. Enveloped viruses contain a nucleocapsid (NC) surrounded by a lipid bilayer which accommodates the viral membrane proteins. This envelope is formed by budding of the NC through cellular membrane
13、s. For most viruses, the viral enve- lope proteins are incorporated effi ciently while host proteins are excluded. The specifi city of the virus assembly process is determined by interactions between the viral membrane pro- teins and with NC or matrix proteins. Coronaviruses, positive-strand RNA vir
14、uses, acquire their envelope by budding of the helical NC into the intermediate compartment between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi complex (11, 12, 35). The coronavirus envelope con- tains three or four viral proteins. The membrane (M) glyco- protein is the most abundant envelope prote
15、in. It is a triple- spanning membrane protein with a short amino-terminal domain on the outside of the virus (or in the lumen of intra- cellular organelles) and a long carboxy-terminal domain on the inside (or in the cytoplasm) (reviewed by Rottier 27). The spike (S) glycoprotein, trimers of which f
16、orm the virion peplomers, is another major structural protein. It is involved in binding of virions to the host cell and in virus-cell and cell-cell fusion (reviewed by Cavanagh 3). Some, but not all, corona- viruses contain a third major envelope protein, the hemagglu- tinin esterase (HE) (reviewed by Brian et al. 2). Finally, the small envelope (E) protein is a minor, poorly characterized but essential structural component (7, 30, 37). Lateral interactions between the coronav
