The synthesis of glycoproteins was investigated in cultured human melanoma cells before and after infection with varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The glycosylated polypeptides were labeled with tritiated precursors of the sugar moiety and were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When the electrophoretic profiles of uninfected and infected cell lysates were compared, a marked reduction in host cell glycoprotein synthesis was evident during the late phase of viral infection. At least 3 infected-cell specific (ICS) glycosylated polypeptides were detected. After immune precipitation of [3H]glucosamine-labeled VZV cell extracts with human and rabbit VZV antisera, 5 ICS glycoproteins were identified and designated gp 45, gp 62, gp 88, gp 98 and gp 118 according to their apparent MW (.times. 103). Four of the 5 polypeptides (but not gp 88) were visualized after immune precipitation of infected cell extracts labeled with [3H]fucose. The ICS glycopeptides corresponded in MW to [35S]methionine-labeled polypeptides detected in a virus-enriched fraction obtained by centrifugation of sonically disrupted infected cells in a combination density-viscosity gradient. A prominent ICS high-MW (.apprx. 150,000) nonglycosylated polypeptide was identified also in the latter fraction.
