To evaluate the importance of the Na+,K+pump and ionic gradients in virus-induced cell fusion, we investigated the effects of melittin, a 26 amino acid bioactive peptide found in honey bee venom, on cell fusion caused by HSV-1 syncytial mutants. Melittin inhibited fusion of Vero cells caused by HSV-1 mutant viruses mP(MP), KOS (syn20) and KOS (FFV3) containing the syncytial mutationsyn1 in glycoprotein K. However, it did not affect cell fusion caused by mutants HFEM(tsB5) or KOSamb1511-7 with mutations in glycoprotein B. Melittin caused specific reversion ofsyn1 mutant virus plaques tosyn+(wild-type) plaque morphology, and inhibited virus adsorption and penetration. It also inhibited the Na+,K+pump activity, and the binding of3H-ouabain to the Na+,K+pump of infected Vero cells. The Na+,K+pump activity of infected Vero cells in comparison to mock-infected cells was significantly decreased. Ouabain, a specific inhibitor of the Na+,K+pump, inhibited fusion of Vero cells caused by all syncytial virus strains.
