Purified respiratory syncytial (RS) virus contains, in addition to the six to seven polypeptides previously reported (S. Levine, 1977,J. Virol.,21, 427–431), a large polypeptide (VPO), MW > 160,000. Treatment of purified virus with trypsin removes the major glycoproteins, VP1 and 2. Treatment of purified virus with 2% Triton X-100 in HBSS (equivalent to 0.15MNaCl) solubilizes the glycoproteins VP1 and 2 and a nonglycosylated protein, VP5, MW 28,000, which suggests that VP5 is an M protein. Treatment with 2% Triton X-100 in 0.4MNaCl solubilizes all the virion proteins except VPO and VP3, which are also not solubilized in 0.8MNaCl. The results suggest that VP3, MW 44,000, is the major nucleocapsid protein, and that VPO is not a superficial contaminant of the virus preparation, but instead is closely associated with the nucleocapsid. Only VP3 is present in nucleocapsids isolated from RS virus-infected cells by isopycnic centrifugation in CsCl.
