The functional cooperation of equine herpesvirus I (EHV-1) glycoprotein NI (gM) and the gene 10 (UL49.5) product was analyzed. Transient-transfection experiments using gM and UL49.5 expression plasmids as well as RK13 cell lines constitutively expressing UL49.5 (RK49.5) or gM (RKgM) demonstrated that the endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo If)-resistant mature form of gM was detectable only after coexpression of the two proteins. Deletion of the EHV-1 UL49.5-homologous gene 10 in strain KyA resulted in a small-plaque phenotype and up to 190-fold-reduced virus titers. The growth defects of the mutant KyADelta49.5 virus, which were very similar to those of a gM-negative KyA virus, could be completely compensated for by growth of the mutant virus on RK49.5 cells or by repairing the deletion of gene 10 in the revertant virus KyADelta49.5R. Analysis of cells infected with the UL49.5-negative EHV-1 demonstrated that gM was not transported to the trans-Golgi network in the absence of the UL49.5 product. In contrast, gM was efficiently transported and processed to the endo H-resistant mature form in KyADelta49.5-infected RK49.5 cells. Furthermore, radioimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that gM maturation was observed only if a 10,000-M-r protein was coprecipitated with gM in KyA- or KyADelta49.5R-infected cells or virions. This protein was absent in cells infected with KyDelta49.5 or KyADeltagM, suggesting that it was the EHV-1 UL49.5 product. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the expression of the EHV-1 UL49.5 product is necessary and sufficient for gM processing and that it is required for efficient virus replication.
