The glycoproteins of measles are involved in a number of biological activities, including infectivity and cell fusion. In order to study the role of carbohydrates in the function of viral glycoproteins, tunicamycin (TM) was used to inhibit the addition of sugars to glycoproteins. One microgram per milliliter of the drug, administered 2 hr postinfection to cell cultures infected with virus, caused a 103–104reduction in the production of infectious progeny virus. This inhibition occurred at either 33 or 37° and affected both the Edmonston and Joy wild-type measles strains. The release of material with the density of virions was inhibited 85–90%. Synthesis of the nonglycosylated viral proteins (L, P, NP, M) appeared to be normal in the presence of the drug, while changes were observed in the synthesis of H, the large viral glycoprotein, and F1a component of the fusion protein. Particles released from TM-treated cultures lacked the normal H and F1proteins. Virion preparations contained a polypeptide, termed p90, which migrated more slowly than H on SDS-PAGE and was also found in preparations of particles released from cultures infected in the presence of 2-deoxy-d-glucose. Normal cultures pulsed for 2 hr with [35S]methionine late in infection released virions that had incorporated the label into the L, p90, P, NP, and M polypeptides.
