Serotype-specific differences in the capacity of reovirus strains to inhibit proliferation of murine L929 cells correlate with the capacity to induce apoptosis. The prototype serotype 3 reovirus strains Abney (T3A) and Dearing (T3D) inhibit cellular proliferation and induce apoptosis to a greater extent than the prototype serotype 1 reovirus strain Lang (T1L). We now show that reovirus-induced inhibition of cellular proliferation results from a G2/M cell cycle arrest. Using T1L × T3D reassortant viruses, we found that strain-specific differences in the capacity to induce G2/M arrest, like the differences in the capacity to induce apoptosis, are determined by the viral S1 gene. The S1 gene is bicistronic, encoding the viral attachment protein sigma 1 and the nonstructural protein sigma 1s. A sigma 1s-deficient reovirus strain, T3C84-MA, fails to induce G2/M arrest, yet retains the capacity to induce apoptosis, indicating that sigma 1s is required for reovirus-induced G2/M arrest. Expression of sigma 1s in C127 cells increases the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, supporting a role for this protein in reovirus-induced G2/M arrest. Inhibition of reovirus-induced apoptosis failed to prevent virus-induced G2/M arrest, indicating that G2/M arrest is not the result of apoptosis related DNA damage and suggests that these two processes occur through distinct pathways.
