We developed a system to identify the viral proteins required for the packaging and passage of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) by reconstructing these events with cDNA-encoded components. Plasmids encoding individual RSV proteins, each under the control of a T7 promoter, were cotransfected in various combinations together with a plasmid containing a minigenome into cells infected with a vaccinia virus recombinant expressing T7 RNA polymerase. Supernatants from these cells were passaged onto fresh cells which were then superinfected with RSV. Functional reconstitution of RSV-specific packaging and passage was detected by expression of the reporter gene carried on the minigenome. As expected, the four nucleocapsid proteins N, P, L, and M2-1 failed to direct packaging and passage of the minigenome. Passage was achieved by further addition of plasmids expressing three membrane-associated proteins, M, G, and F; inclusion of the fourth envelope- associated protein, SH, did not alter passage efficiency. Passage was reduced 10- to 20-fold by omission of G and was abrogated by omission of either M or F. Coexpression of the nonstructural NS1 or NS2 protein had little effect on packaging and passage except through indirect effects on RNA synthesis in the initial transfection. The M2-1 transcription elongation factor was not required for the generation of passage-competent particles. However, addition of increasing quantities of M2-1 to the transfection mediated a dose-dependent inhibition of passage which was alleviated by coexpression of the putative negative regulatory factor M2-2. Omission of the L plasmid reduced passage 10- to 20-fold, most likely due to reduced availability of encapsidated minigenomes for packaging. However, the residual level of passage indicated that neither L protein nor the process of RSV-specific RNA synthesis is required for the production and passage of particles. Omission of N or P from the transfection abrogated passage. Thus, the minimum RSV protein requirements for packaging and passaging a minigenome are N, P, M, and F, although the efficiency is greatly increased by addition of L and G.
