Purified avian infectious bronchitis virus was digested with bromelain (0.7 mg/ml), and the surface projections were removed. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the polypeptides from these bromelain-treated particles showed that VP1, VP2, and VP5 were missing from the seven polypeptides. VP1 to VP7, that were present in untreated virus preparations. Milder bromelain treatment (0.07 mg/ml) left visible surface projections and polypeptides comprising VP1 and VP2 intact, but removed VP5. Thus, there are apparently two types of surface projections on the virus particle. The ribonucleoprotein complex was released from virus particles disrupted with 1% Nonidet P-40. The proportion of VP6 in such preparations was greatly reduced, implying that VP6 is the structural polypeptide of the ribonucleoprotein. Polypeptides VP1, VP2, VP4, and VP5 are glycosylated, but none of the polypeptides contains lipid.

Purification of egg-grown infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) by sucrose density gradient centrifugation alone, or sucrose density gradient centrifugation plus pH 8.0 treatment, concanavalin A precipitation or metrizamide density gradient centrifugation, failed to produce any differences in the virus polypeptide pattern following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of SDS(SDS-PAGE). SDS-PAGE of purified IBV on 7.5% acrylamide gels separated 16 polypeptides which were detectable by staining with Coomassie blue or measurement of radioactivity following electrophoresis of (3H)-leucine labelled IBV. The molecular weights of the polypeptides were within the range 15,000-135,000. The polypeptides of egg and chick kidney (CK) cell-grown IBV were identical in both size and number but quantitative differences were detected. In particular the relative proportion of the major 52,000 molecular weight polypeptide was greatly reduced in IBV grown in CK cells. SDS-PAGE of purified IBV and staining with Schiff's reagent to detect carbohydrate revealed four.bands with molecular weights of 128,000, 86,000, 67,500 and 37,000. The 128,000 band did not correspond to any of the detected polypeptides. Use of 5% acrylamide gels for SDS-PAGE of IBV failed to resolve all the minor polypeptides and only seven bands were detected.

Molecular weights of six major polypeptides of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) are: 1. 75,000; 2. 50,000; 3. 45,000; 4. 35,000; 5. 28,000 or 24,000, and 6. 22,000 dalton. According to the mobility of protein 5 the polypeptide patterns of IBV serotypes fall into two main categories.

Subgenomic mRNA from a virulent field isolate of porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), strain FS772/70, was used to produce cDNA. The cDNA from three overlapping clones was sequenced by the chain termination method and two open reading frames (ORFs) were identified. The largest ORF, 4350bp, encoded a polypeptide of 1449 amino acids of relative molecular mass (Mr) 159811, which contained 33 potential N-linked glycosylation sites, a cysteine-rich region, and a potential transmembrane region. The C-terminal half of this ORF showed homology to the S proteins of four other coronaviruses. The other ORF consisted of the 3'-end of a gene with homology to the carboxyl terminus of the F2 subunit of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) RNA polymerase.

Nucleotide sequences from the third open reading frame of mRNA D (D3) of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) were expressed in bacteria as part of a fusion protein with beta-galactosidase. Antiserum raised in rabbits against this fusion protein immunoprecipitated from IBV-infected chick kidney or Vero cells a polypeptide of 12.4K, the size expected for a D3-encoded product. The D3 polypeptide is apparently non-glycosylated, and appears to be associated with the membrane fraction of infected cells, as judged by cell fractionation and immunofluorescence.

The gene encoding the spike glycoprotein of the human coronavirus HCV 229E has been cloned and sequenced. This analysis predicts an S polypeptide of 1173 amino acids with an Mr of 128,600. The polypeptide has 30 potential N-glycosylation sites. A number of structural features typical of coronavirus S proteins can be recognized, including a signal sequence, a membrane anchor, heptad repeat structures and a carboxy-terminal cysteine cluster. A detailed, computer-aided comparison with the S proteins of infectious bronchitis virus, feline infectious peritonitis virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus and murine hepatitis virus, strain JHM is presented. We have also done a Northern blot analysis of viral RNAs in HCV 229E-infected cells using synthetic oligonucleotides. On the basis of this analysis, and by analogy to the replication strategy of other coronaviruses, we are able to propose a model for the organization and expression of the HCV 229E genome.

The antigenic diversity of ten strains of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) was examined by Western blot analyses using polyclonal antisera specific for the Massachusetts 41 (M41), Gray, Arkansas DPI (Ark DPI), Connecticut (Conn) and Australian T (Aust T) serotypes. Although antigenic variation was found in all three structural viral proteins, the matrix protein appeared to be antigenically the most highly variable. Four distinct antigenic groups, which did not correspond to virulence or pathotype, could be defined according to the variations observed in the matrix protein. Somewhat less variation was seen in the spike polypeptide. The only variation in the nucleocapsid protein was indicated by the lack of a detectable reaction between the Aust T antiserum and the Ark DPI nucleocapsid protein. Antisera made against M41 had the broadest reactivity while antisera against Aust T, the only strain tested which was exotic to the U.S.A., had the greatest specificity.

A cDNA clone of the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) spike protein gene has been recombined into vaccinia virus. Cells infected with the recombinant virus synthesized IBV spike antigen which was recognized by antibody raised against purified spike protein. Immunofluorescence showed that the IBV spike antigen was transported to the infected cell surface membrane and immunoprecipitation showed the presence of the glycosylated 180K mol. wt. polypeptide precursor of the two spike subunits S1 and S2 that comigrated with this antigen from IBV-infected cells. Vaccinated mice produced antibody that recognized the IBV spike antigen by ELISA and which neutralized IBV infectivity as shown by ciliostasis tests on tracheal organ cultures.

cDNAs prepared from viral genomic RNA purified from two strains of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) (Beaudette and M41) have been cloned into pBR322. Three of these clones, which contain the complete sequences of mRNA A for both strains, except for the leader sequences which are only present on the subgenomic messenger RNAs, have been sequenced using the dideoxy method. The sequences are similar for both strains, each containing a single long open reading frame of 1227 bases which predicts a polypeptide of molecular weight approximately 45 000. The genome position and size of this predicted polypeptide are consistent with it being the gene for the nucleocapsid protein. The amino acid sequence shows considerable homology with those of the nucleocapsids of murine hepatitis virus strains A59 and JHM. The major difference between the sequences determined for the two IBV strains is that the 3' non-coding region of the Beaudette strain contains a 184 base segment which is not present in the M41 strain.

RNA sequences encoding the surface projection (spike) of the coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus, strain Beaudette, have been cloned into pBR322 using cDNA primed with a specific oligonucleotide. A 5.3 kilobase viral insert in the clone pMB179 has been identified. The region of this clone coding for the spike gene has been sequenced by the chain termination method, and we present here the first report of DNA sequence data for a coronavirus spike protein, the protein which forms the characteristic 'corona' after which the group is named. The amino acid sequence of the primary translation product, deduced from the DNA sequence, predicts a polypeptide of 1162 amino acids with a molecular weight of 127 006. This has many interesting features which confirm and extend our knowledge of this recently characterized membrane glycoprotein. The polypeptide is subsequently cleaved to S1 and S2, and partial amino acid analysis of the amino-terminus of the S1 polypeptide has been employed to locate the position of this terminus of S1 within the large open reading frame. The amino acid analysis also reveals the presence of an 18 amino acid putative signal sequence on the primary translation product which is not present on the mature S1 polypeptide.
