The expression of viral envelope proteins on the plasma membrane domains of the epithelial cell line, MDCK, is polar. Influenza virus infection of these cells leads to expression of the viral hemagglutinin and neuraminidase glycoproteins on the apical domain of the plasma membrane while vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection yields basolateral expression of the sialic acid-bearing G protein. The ability of the influenza neuraminidase to desialate the G protein of VSV was exploited to test for contact between these proteins during their intracellular transport to separate plasma membrane domains. VSV-G protein expression was selected for in doubly-infected cells because VSV protein production was accelerated in cells pre-infected with influenza virus. During double infection of the envelope proteins of both viruses displayed the same polar localization as during single infection but the VSG-G protein was undersialated due to the action of the influenza neuraminidase. Incubation of singly-infected cells at 20.degree. C blocked the transport of VSV-G protein to the cell surface and resulted in increased sialation of the protein over that seen at 37.degree. C. G protein is evidently held in contact with the sialyl transferase at this temperature. 20.degree. C incubations of doubly-infected cells also produced the undersialated G protein characteristic of interaction with the neuraminidse. Most of the newly synthesized basolaterally-directed G protein is in physical contact with the majority of the neuraminidase through the terminal steps of Golgi processing.
