RESUMO
The three structural proteins of Semliki Forest virus--i.e., the capsid, p62, and E1 proteins--were expressed in baby hamster kidney cells from cloned DNA transcribed from the virus-specific 4.1-kilobase mRNA. The cDNA was engineered into an expression vector developed by others [Mulligan, R. C. & Berg, P. (1980) Science 209, 1422--1427] downstream from the simian virus 40 early promoter and was introduced into cell nuclei by microneedle injection. Immunofluorescence analysis of injected cells showed that the capsid protein was located in the cell cytoplasm, whereas the membrane proteins were associated with cellular membranes. The p62 protein was shown to be transported from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane, whereas the E1 protein remained in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
