Three drug-dependent mutants of human rhinovirus 16 (HRV16) were
characterized by sequence analyses of spontaneous mutant isolates and
were genetically reconstructed from a parental cDNA plasmid. These
mutants formed plaques in the presence but not in the absence of the
selecting antiviral drug, WIN 52035, which binds to the capsid of
wild-type virus and inhibits its attachment to the host cell. The
drug-dependent phenotype of each mutant was caused by a single amino
acid substitution in the VP1 coat protein. The three independent
mutations conferring drug dependence are M1103T, T1208A, and V1210A.
Single-step growth experiments involving rescue of one of the three
mutants (V1210A) by delayed drug addition suggested (i) that the drug
dependence lesion is at the stage of virus assembly and (ii) that one
or more components of the viral assembly pool decay in the absence of
drug. RNA accumulation and infectivity were unaffected by the absence
of drug in all three mutants, suggesting that the labile assembly
component is coat protein.
