A novel approach for the identification of protein-protein interaction with integral membrane proteins

Protein-protein interaction plays a major role in all biological processes. The currently available genetic methods such as the two-hybrid system and the protein recruitment system are relatively limited in their ability to identify interactions with integral membrane proteins. Here we describe the development of a reverse Ras recruitment system (reverse RRS), in which the bait used encodes a membrane protein. The bait is expressed in its natural environment, the membrane, whereas the protein partner (the prey) is fused to a cytoplasmic Ras mutant. Protein-protein interaction between the proteins encoded by the prey and the bait results in Ras membrane translocation and activation of a viability pathway in yeast. We devised the expression of the bait and prey proteins under the control of dual distinct inducible promoters, thus enabling a rapid selection of transformants in which growth is attributed solely to specific protein-protein interaction. The reverse RRS approach greatly extends the usefulness of the protein recruitment systems and the use of integral membrane proteins as baits. The system serves as an attractive approach to explore novel protein-protein interactions with high specificity and selectivity, where other methods fail.

汉滩病毒G1蛋白胞质区ITAM样基序功能的研究

汉滩病毒(HTNV)的G1蛋白胞质区尾段包含保守的免疫受体酪氨酸活化基序(ITAM)样基序,该基序与许多重要的免疫受体胞质区ITAM基序同源性较高。为了研究HTNV的G1 ITAM样基序的免疫信号转导功能,首先人工合成了一段保守的酪氨酸残基磷酸化的G1 ITAM样基序多肽,应用体外蛋白激酶共沉淀实验,分别从Jur-kat细胞和Raji细胞裂解物中初筛到5~9种与该基序相互作用的磷酸化蛋白或激酶;然后通过突变体分析、体外磷酸化实验和体外激酶共沉淀-免疫印迹分析,进一步确证了G1 ITAM样基序在体外可以与Src家族蛋白酪氨酸激酶(PTK)Lyn、Fyn及其下游Syk家族激酶Syk、ZAP-70相互作用,而这种相互作用依赖于该基序中两个高度保守的酪氨酸残基的存在。上述研究表明,HTNV G1蛋白胞质区包含一个高度保守的功能性ITAM样基序,该基序在体外可以与TCR和BCR信号转导中关键的PTK相互作用,为进一步探讨HTNV G1蛋白ITAM样基序在肾综合征出血热(HFRS)免疫信号传递中的作用奠定了基础。     

Monitoring Neutralization Property Change of Evolving Hantaan and Seoul Viruses with a Novel Pseudovirus-Based Assay

The Hantaan virus(HTNV) and Seoul virus(SEOV) mutants have accumulated over time. It is important to determine whether their neutralizing epitopes have evolved, thereby making the current vaccine powerless. However, it is impossible to determine by using traditional plaque reduction neutralization test(PRNT), because it requires large numbers of live mutant strains. Pseudovirus-based neutralization assays(PBNA) were developed by employing vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV) backbone incorporated with HTNV or SEOV glycoproteins(VSVDG*-HTNVG or VSVDG*-SEOVG). 56 and 51 single amino acid substitutions of glycoprotein(GP) in HTNV and SEOV were selected and introduced into the reference plasmid. Then the mutant pseudoviruses were generated and tested by PBNA. The PBNA results were highly correlated with PRNT ones with R2 being 0.91 for VSVDG*-HTNVG and 0.82 for VSVDG*-SEOVG. 53 HTNV mutant pseudoviruses and 46 SEOV mutants were successfully generated. Importantly, by using PBNA, we found that HTNV or SEOV immunized antisera could neutralize all the corresponding 53 HTNV mutants or the 46 SEOV mutants respectively. The novel PBNA enables us to closely monitor the effectiveness of vaccines against large numbers of evolving HTNV and SEOV. And the current vaccine remains to be effective for the naturally occurring mutants.

Defining the N-linked glycosylation site of Hantaan virus envelope glycoproteins essential for cell fusion

The Hantaan virus (HTNV) is an enveloped virus that is capable of inducing low pH-dependent cell fusion. We molecularly cloned the viral glycoprotein (GP) and nucleocapsid (NP) cDNA of HTNV and expressed them in Vero E6 cells under the control of a CMV promoter. The viral gene expression was assessed using an indirect immunofluorescence assay and immunoprecipitation. The transfected Vero E6 cells expressing GPs, but not those expressing NP, fused and formed a syncytium following exposure to a low pH. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against envelope GPs inhibited cell fusion, whereas MAbs against NP did not. We also investigated the N-linked glycosylation of HTNV GPs and its role in cell fusion. The envelope GPs of HTNV are modified by N-linked glycosylation at five sites: four sites on G1 (N134, N235, N347, and N399) and one site on G2 (N928). Site-directed mutagenesis was used to construct eight GP gene mutants, including five single N-glycosylation site mutants and three double-site mutants, which were then expressed in Vero E6 cells. The oligosaccharide chain on residue N928 of G2 was found to be crucial for cell fusion after exposure to a low pH. These results suggest that G2 is likely to be the fusion protein of HTNV.     

An insertion vector for the analysis of gene expression during herpes simplex virus infection

A herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) insertion vector, pGal8, was designed for analysis of herpesvirus promoters during virus infection. This vector contains a multiple cloning site (MCS) positioned at the 5' end of the lacZ gene for the insertion of promoter sequences. The MCS and lacZ are flanked by sequences from the HSV-1 thymidine kinase encoding gene (tk) to direct homologous recombination into the tk locus of the viral genome. The utility of this vector is demonstrated by construction and comparison of recombinant viruses that express lacZ from the promoters of the genes encoding glycoprotein C, glycoprotein H and glycoprotein E.     

Biochemical characterization of baculovirus-expressed rap1A/Krev-1 and its regulation by GTPase-activating proteins.

Normal human rap1A and 35A rap1A (which encodes a protein with a Thr-35----Ala mutation) were cloned into a baculovirus transfer vector and expressed in Sf9 insect cells. The resulting proteins were purified, and their nucleotide binding, GTPase activities, and responsiveness to GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) were characterized and compared with those of Rap1 purified from human neutrophils. Recombinant wild-type Rap1A bound GTP gamma S, GTP, and GDP with affinities similar to those observed for neutrophil Rap1 protein. The rate of exchange of GTP by Rap1 without Mg2+ was much slower than that by Ras. The basal GTPase activities by both recombinant proteins were lower than that observed with the neutrophil Rap1, but the GTPase activity of the neutrophil and wild-type recombinant Rap1 proteins could be stimulated to similar levels by Rap-GAP activity in neutrophil cytosol. In contrast to wild-type Rap1A, the GTPase activity of 35A Rap was unresponsive to Rap-GAP stimulation. Neither recombinant Rap1A nor neutrophil Rap1 protein GTPase activity could be stimulated by recombinant Ras-GAP at a concentration 25-fold higher than that required to hydrolyze 50% of H-Ras-bound GTP under similar conditions. These results suggest that the putative effector domains (amino acids 32 to 40) shared between Rap1 and Ras are functionally similar and interact with their respective GAPs. However, although Rap1 and Ras are identical in this region, secondary structure or additional regions must confer the ability to respond to GAPs.
