In herpes simplex virus type 1-infected African green monkey kidney Vero cells, reorganization of microfilaments was observed .apprx. 4 h postinfection. Conversion of F (filamentous) actin to G (globular) actin, as assessed by a DNase I inhibition assay, was continuous over the next 12-16 h, at which time a level of G actin of about twice that observed in uninfected cells was measured. Fluorescent localization of F actin, using 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD)-phallacidin, demonstrated that microfilament fibers began to diminish at .apprx. 16-18 h postinfection, roughly corresponding to the time that G actin levels peaked and virus-induced cytopathology was first observable. In measles virus-infected cells, no such disassembly of microfilaments occurred. Rather, there was a modest decrease in G actin levels. Fluorescent localization of F actin showed that measles virus-infected Vero cells maintained a complex microfilament network characterized by fibers which spanned the entire length of the newly formed giant cells. Disruption of microfilaments with cytochalasin B, which inhibits measles virus-specific cytopathology, was not inhibitory to measles virus production at high multiplicities of infection (MOI) but was progressively inhibitory as the MOI was lowered. The carbobenzoxy tripeptide SV-4814, which inhibits the ability of Vero cells to fuse after measles virus infection, like cytochalasin B, inhibited measles virus production at low MOI but not at high MOI. Thus, it appears that agents which affect the ability of Vero cells to fuse after measles virus infection may be inhibitory to virus production and that the actin network is essential to this process.
