For viruses that mature by a budding process, the envelope
glycoproteins are considered the major determinants for the site of
virus release from polarized epithelial cells. Viruses are usually
released from that membrane domain where the viral surface glycoproteins are transported to. We here report that measles virus has
developed a different maturation strategy. Measles virus was found to
be released from the apical membrane domain of polarized epithelial
cells, though the surface glycoproteins H and F were transported in a
nonpolarized fashion and to the basolateral membrane domain,
respectively.
