Axonal sorting, the controlled passage of specific cargoes from the cell soma into the axon compartment, is critical for establishing and maintaining the polarity of mature neurons. To delineate axonal sorting events, we took advantage of two neuroinvasive alpha-herpesviruses. Human herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus of swine (PRV; suid herpesvirus 1) have evolved as robust cargo of axonal sorting and transport mechanisms. For efficient axonal sorting and subsequent egress from axons and presynaptic termini, progeny capsids depend on three viral membrane proteins (Us7 (gI), Us8 (gE), and Us9), which engage axon-directed kinesin motors. We present evidence that Us7-9 of the veterinary pathogen pseudorabies virus (PRV) form a tripartite complex to recruit Kif1a, a kinesin-3 motor. Based on multi-channel super-resolution and live TIRF microscopy, complex formation and motor recruitment occurs at the trans-Golgi network. Subsequently, progeny virus particles enter axons as enveloped capsids in a transport vesicle. Artificial recruitment of Kif1a using a drug-inducible heterodimerization system was sufficient to rescue axonal sorting and anterograde spread of PRV mutants devoid of Us7-9. Importantly, biophysical evidence suggests that Us9 is able to increase the velocity of Kif1a, a previously undescribed phenomenon. In addition to elucidating mechanisms governing axonal sorting, our results provide further insight into the composition of neuronal transport systems used by alpha-herpesviruses, which will be critical for both inhibiting the spread of infection and the safety of herpesvirus-based oncolytic therapies. Author summary Alpha-herpesviruses represent a group of large, enveloped DNA viruses that are capable to establish a quiescent (also called latent) but reactivatable form of infection in the peripheral nervous system of their hosts. Following reactivation of latent genomes, virus progeny is formed in the soma of neuronal cells and depend on sorting into the axon for anterograde spread of infection to mucosal sites and potentially new host. We studied two alpha-herpesviruses (the veterinary pathogen pseudorabies virus (PRV) and human herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1)) and found viral membrane proteins Us7, Us8, and Us9 form a complex, which is able to recruit kinsin-3 motors. Motor recruitment facilitates axonal sorting and subsequent transport to distal egress sites. Complex formation occurs at the trans-Golgi network and mediates efficiency of axonal sorting and motility characteristics of egressing capsids. We also used an artificial kinesin-3 recruitment system, which allows controlled induction of axonal sorting and transport of virus mutants lacking Us7, Us8, and Us9. Overall, these data contribute to our understanding of anterograde alpha-herpesvirus spread and kinesin-mediated sorting of vesicular axonal cargoes.
