Abstract

In a previous study, it was reported that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) strain F contains a transcribed open reading frame situated in the inverted repeats of the L component between the terminal a sequence and the open reading frame that encodes the alpha 0 gene (J. Chou and B. Roizman, J. Virol. 57: 629-637, 1986). By means of an antibody to repeats of the trimer Ala-Thr-Pro predicted to be specified by the open reading frame, it was shown that the open reading frame specifies a protein (M. Ackermann, J. Chou, M. Sarmiento, R. A. Lerner, and B. Roizman, J. Virol. 58: 843-850, 1986). This open reading frame is absent from the reported sequence of HSV-1(17)syn+ (D. J. McGeoch, M. A. Dalrymple, A. J. Davison, A. Dolan, M. C. Frame, D. McNab, L. J. Perry, J. E. Scott, and P. Taylor, J. Gen. Virol. 69: 1531-1574, 1988; L. J. Perry and D. J. McGeoch, J. Gen. Virol. 69: 2831-2846, 1988). To define the extent of variability in this open reading frame, we compared the sequences of the ICP34.5-encoding open reading frames of the genomes of three strains characterized by limited passage in cell culture with that of the HSV-1(17)syn+ strain. Furthermore, to establish unambiguously that the antibody to the Ala-Thr-Pro repeats reacts with the product of this open reading frame, we inserted a short sequence that encodes a known epitope in frame at the 5' terminus of the coding domain. Our results indicate that with minor variations, the open reading frame is conserved in the three HSV-1 genomes analyzed but not in HSV-1(17)syn+. Thus, two strains contain an inserted amino acid and one strain, isolated from a case of human encephalitis, lacks a seven-amino-acid sequence. The recombinant virus carrying the foreign epitope expressed a slightly slower-migrating protein which reacted with both the rabbit polyclonal antibody to the Ala-Thr-Pro trimer repeats and the monoclonal antibody to the inserted epitope. The implications of the results are discussed.
