text: With more than 80 members worldwide, the Orthobunyavirus genus in the Peribunyaviridae
family is a large genus of enveloped RNA viruses, many of which are emerging pathogens
in humans and livestock. How orthobunyaviruses (OBVs) penetrate and infect mammalian
host cells remains poorly characterized. Here, we investigated the entry mechanisms
of the OBV Germiston (GERV). Viral particles were visualized by cryo-electron
microscopy and appeared roughly spherical with an average diameter of 98 nm. Labeling
of the virus with fluorescent dyes did not adversely affect its infectivity and
allowed the monitoring of single particles in fixed and live cells. Using this
approach, we found that endocytic internalization of bound viruses was asynchronous
and occurred within 30-40 min. The virus entered Rab5a+ early endosomes and, subsequently,
late endosomal vacuoles containing Rab7a but not LAMP-1. Infectious entry did
not require proteolytic cleavage, and endosomal acidification was sufficient and
necessary for viral fusion. Acid-activated penetration began 15-25 min after initiation
of virus internalization and relied on maturation of early endosomes to late endosomes.
The optimal pH for viral membrane fusion was slightly below 6.0, and penetration
was hampered when the potassium influx was abolished. Overall, our study provides
real-time visualization of GERV entry into host cells and demonstrates the importance
of late endosomal maturation in facilitating OBV penetration.
