Figure 1 with 1 supplement
Inhibition of NEC-mediated budding by UL25 constructs.

(a) The UL25 structure and a diagram of domain organization is shown along with a multiple sequence alignment of UL25 residues 45–74 from five alphaherpesviruses. Sequence alignment was generated …

Figure 1—source data 1

Raw data and background values collected for GUV budding assays of NEC220 in the presence of either UL25∆44 Q72A, UL25∆58 Q72A or UL25∆73.

The reported biological replicate average values (%) are the points presented in Figure 1.

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
NEC-UL25 binding studies.

SPR binding of UL25Δ44 Q72A (a) and UL25Δ73 (b) to NEC220-His indicating UL25 can bind the NEC if the NEC is able to form a type of scaffold. (c) ITC of NEC220 and UL25Δ44 showing these two proteins …

eGFP-UL25∆50 inhibits NEC budding while eGFP-UL25∆73 does not.

(a) Quantification of NEC budding in the presence of either eGFP-UL25∆50 or eGFP-UL25∆73. Each construct (except in the absence of NEC220) was tested in at least two biological replicates, each …

Figure 2—source data 1

Raw data and background values collected for GUV budding assays of NEC220 in the presence of either UL25∆50 Q72A, eGFP-UL25∆50 Q72A or eGFP-UL25∆73.

Confocal image of GUVs (red) and eGFP-UL25∆50 Q72A (green) showing that eGFP-UL25∆50 Q72A does not bind GUV membranes.

Both the ATTO-594 and eGFP channels are shown. The scale bar represents 5 μm.

UL25 inhibits NEC220-CBM budding to a lesser extent.

(a) NEC220-CBM budding is not inhibited to the same extent as NEC220 budding by either UL25Δ44 Q72A or eGFP-UL25Δ50 Q72A. Budding was tested at 1:1, 1:6 and 1:10 NEC220-CBM:UL25 molar ratios for …

Figure 3—source data 1

Raw data and background values collected for GUV budding assays of NEC220-CBM in the presence of either UL25∆44 Q72A or GFP-UL25∆50 Q72A.

The reported biological replicate average values (%) are the points presented in Figure 3.

Figure 4 with 2 supplements
CryoEM shows UL25∆44 Q72A inhibits NEC220 budding while UL25∆73 does not.

(a) UL25∆44 Q72A bound to the NEC220 on the outside of the unbudded lipid vesicles, forming a fence-like array (~17 nm). In the presence of UL25∆73, three scenarios have been observed: (b) NEC220 …

Figure 4—figure supplement 1
Incomplete distribution of NEC-UL25 around vesicles.

Slices of selected tomograms of NEC220/UL25∆44 Q72A-bound vesicles used to generate cryoET averages in Figure 5. Regions of either protein binding or lack of protein binding are indicated by pink …

Figure 4—figure supplement 2
Slices of selected tomograms of NEC220/UL25∆73-bound vesicles.

Selected regions of UL25∆73 aggregation are indicated by brackets along with the corresponding measurements of each selection. Scale bars represent 200 nm.

Figure 5 with 1 supplement
CryoET of UL25-mediated inhibition of NEC budding.

(a) CryoET averages of NEC220 in the presence of UL25Δ44 Q72A (top and side views). Corresponding 3D models are shown with NEC220 (pink) and UL25Δ44 Q72A (green). The vesicle bilayer is shown in …

Figure 5—figure supplement 1
CryoET averages of NEC220 in the presence of UL25Δ44 Q72A (top and side views) prior to applying five-fold symmetry.

Corresponding 3D models are shown with NEC220 (pink) and UL25Δ44 Q72A (green). The vesicle bilayer is shown in beige. The models show the UL25 layer coating the NEC layer in five-pointed stars on …

Models of UL25/UL25 and UL25/NEC interactions in vitro and in vivo.

(a) A schematic representation of the pentagonal HSV-1 CATC [two copies of UL25 (green and purple), two copies of C-terminal UL36 (peach and blue) and one copy of UL17 (lime green)] arrangement at …

A model of NEC-mediated budding in the absence and presence of UL25, in vitro.

(a) NEC-mediated budding requires only the NEC, which vesiculates membranes by forming hexagonal coats (pink) that, potentially, contain irregular defects to achieve curvature. (b) UL25∆44 Q72A …

A model of NEC-mediated budding in HSV-1 infected cells.

Capsid-bound UL25 induces the formation of pentagonal insertions (purple pentamers) within the NEC coat (pink hexamers and white monomers) as it is forming, which enables the formation of an NEC …
