Background/Objectives: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection expands early endosomes (EEs) into tubular extensions that may contribute to the control of virus replication and virion assembly. Sequential recruitment of protein coats and sorting nexins (SNXs) creates membrane zones at the EEs that serve as scaffolds for membrane tubulation and retrieval of cargo proteins, including host cell signaling proteins and viral glycoproteins. This study aims to investigate whether the SNX3-dependent zone of EEs contributes to CMV replication and assembly. Methods: Protein localization was analyzed by confocal imaging and expression by Western blot. The contribution of SNX3 to murine CMV (MCMV) replication, assembly compartment (AC) formation, and virion release was analyzed by siRNA and shRNA depletion. The impact of other downstream SNXs that act in EE tubulation was investigated by combined siRNA knockdowns of SNX1, SNX2, SNX4, SNX17, and SNX27 on cell lines expressing shRNA for SNX3. Results: The SNX3-162 isoform acting at EEs was efficiently knocked down by siRNA and shRNA. The SNX3-dependent EE zone recruited SNX27 and contributed to Rab10-dependent tubulation within the pre-AC. SNX3 was not essential for MCMV replication but contributed to the SNX27-, SNX17- and SNX4-dependent release of virions. Silencing SNX3 further reduced the release of virions after silencing SNX27, SNX4, and SNX17, three SNXs that control recycling to the plasma membrane. Conclusions: SNX3 contributes to the formation of pre-AC and MCMV assembly. It acts sequentially with SNX27, SNX4, and SNX17 along the recycling pathway in the process of the production and release of infection virions, suggesting that multiple membrane sources may contribute to the secondary envelopment of MCMV virions.
