We have characterized the restriction mechanism for RD114 virus replication in embryonic feline cells (FeF). By comparing growth properties of the virus in FeF cells with its behavior in a fetal feline glial cell line (G355) permissive for RD114, we showed that both cell lines were readily infectible by virus grown in permissive cells and that no significant differences in viral integration or viral RNA expression could be detected. However, analysis of viral protein expression revealed differences in viral env gene processing in the two cell types. Envelope precursor pR85 was produced, but the expected processed gp70 product was detectable only in permissive (G355) cells. An envelope product of 85 kDa was packaged into virions produced by FeF cells, while virions produced by G355 cells contained the expected RD114 gp70. While the gp85 env-containing virions were infectious for permissive G355 cells, they were unable to infect FeF cells. The block to infection by the gp85-containing particles in FeF cells could be abrogated by treatment with the glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin. Our results indicate that restriction of RD114 virus involves a novel mechanism dependent on two factors: altered glycosylation of the envelope to a gp85 form and an altered RD114 receptor in FeF cells.
