Abstract

Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) UL11 is a 74-amino-acid (aa) protein encoded by ORF51. UL11 is modified by acylation including myristoylation and palmitoylation. Myristoylation of EHV-1 UL11 is assumed to occur on the N-terminal glycine, while palmitoylation is assumed to occur on the seventh and ninth cysteines. ORF51, which encodes the first 24 aa, overlaps ORF50 encoding UL12. We previously demonstrated that UL11 was essential for EHV-1 replication in cultured cells and that UL11 was localized at the Golgi apparatus where herpesviruses obtain their final envelope. It is unclear whether the acylation is related to the localization of EHV-1 UL11 and viral replication. In this study, we investigated the role of UL11 acylation in the intracellular localization and viral growth and replication of EHV-1. We constructed seven UL11 acylation mutant plasmids and seven UL11 acylation mutant BAC DNAs; then, we analysed the localizations of the mutant UL11s and attempted virus rescue. We found that both the N-terminal glycine and the seventh or ninth cysteine, especially N-terminal glycine, were involved in the localization of UL11 and viral replication. Taken together, these results suggest that EHV-1 viral growth requires that UL11 is modified by myristoylation of an N-terminal glycine and by palmitoylation of at least one of the cysteines, and that UL11 is localized at the Golgi apparatus. This study shows that a single amino acid in EHV-1 can determine the fate of viral replication.
