Mechanism of interferon action. Expression of vesicular stomatitis virus G gene in transfected COS cells is inhibited by interferon at the level of protein synthesis

The effect of interferon on the expression of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein G gene was examined in simian COS cells transfected with the expression vector pSVGL containing the G gene under the control of the SV40 late promoter. When COS cells were treated with interferon 24 h after transfection, the synthesis of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein was inhibited by about 80% as compared to that in untreated controls. By contrast, under the same conditions, neither the plasmid copy number nor the G gene mRNA levels were detectably affected by interferon treatment. Likewise, the synthesis of simian virus 40 large T-antigen was not inhibited by interferon treatment of transfected COS cells even though the synthesis of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein was markedly inhibited. The residual G protein synthesized in transfected, interferon-treated COS cells appeared to be normally glycosylated.     

Construction and properties of a cell line constitutively expressing the herpes simplex virus glycoprotein B dependent on functional alpha 4 protein synthesis.

We report the construction of a cell line constitutively expressing the glycoprotein B (gB) of herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1. The cell line was constructed in two steps. In the first, a baby hamster kidney cell line was transfected with the DNA of a plasmid containing the neomycin phosphotransferase gene that confers resistance to the antibiotic G418 and the gene specifying a temperature-sensitive (ts-) alpha 4 protein of HSV-1, the major viral regulatory protein. A clonal cell line, alpha 4/c113, selected for resistance to the antibiotic G418, expressed high levels of alpha 4 protein constitutively. Superinfection of these cells with HSV-2 resulted in twofold induction of the resident HSV-1 alpha 4 gene. In the second step, alpha 4/c113 cells were transfected with the DNA of a plasmid carrying the gB gene and the mouse methotrexate resistance dihydrofolate reductase gene. A clonal cell line, alpha 4/c113/gB, selected for methotrexate resistance expressed gB constitutively. Expression of both gB and alpha 4 continued unabated for at least 32 serial passages. Cells passaged serially in medium containing both methotrexate and G418 after passage 10 contained a higher copy number of the alpha 4 gene and produced larger amounts of both gB and alpha 4 proteins than did cells maintained in medium containing methotrexate alone. Expression of gB was dependent on the presence of functional alpha 4 protein inasmuch as expression of gB ceased on shift up to nonpermissive temperatures, when shifted to permissive temperatures, the cell line reinitiated expression of gB after a delay commensurate with the length of incubation at the nonpermissive temperature, and the cell-resident HSV-1 gB gene was expressed at the nonpermissive temperature in cells infected with a recombinant expressing a ts+ alpha 4 protein and an HSV-2 gB. The properties of the alpha 4/c113 cell line suggest that it may express other viral genes induced by alpha 4 protein constitutively, provided that the product is not toxic to the cells.

Expression from cloned cDNA of cell-surface secreted forms of the glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus in eucaryotic cells

A cDNA clone of the mRNA encoding the glycoprotein (G) of vesicular stomatitis virus was inserted into plasmid vectors under the control of either the SV40 early promoter (pSV2G) or the SV40 late promoter (pSVGL). Synthesis of G protein was observed in mouse L cells injected with pSV2G DNA or in COS1 cells transfected with pSVGL DNA. Immunofluorescent staining of G protein produced in both cell types showed a pattern of internal and cell-surface staining indistinguishable from that seen in cells infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. The G protein produced in transfected COS1 cells was the size of normal G protein and was glycosylated. Expression of a G protein lacking 79 amino acids from the COOH terminus was also examined. This G protein lacks the transmembrane domain and the hydrophilic COOH terminus, which, we postulated, anchor G protein in the lipid bilayer. This “anchorless” protein is glycosylated and is secreted, albeit slowly.

风疹病毒包膜糖蛋白E1中二硫键对其细胞融合活性的影响

Expression of a G protein subunit, alpha i-1, in Balb/c 3T3 cells leads to agonist-specific changes in growth regulation

Cellular receptors for many hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors are coupled to intracellular effector enzymes or ion channels through a set of heterotrimeric G proteins. In order to determine whether isoforms of G protein alpha subunits contribute differentially to mitogenic responses, we introduced an alpha subunit isoform, alpha i-1, into Balb/c 3T3 cells that normally lack this subtype. Balb/c 3T3 cells transfected with a plasmid containing cDNA encoding alpha i-1 expressed the alpha i-1 protein as judged both by the appearance of immunoreactive alpha i-1 protein on Western blots and by two-dimensional analysis of the proteins [32P]ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin. The amount of alpha i-1 expressed is less than the amount of alpha subunits endogenously present in these cells. Expression of alpha i-1 in the transfected cells slightly blunts stimulation of adenylylcyclase by GTP, guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate, or forskolin, but has no major effect on the ability of thrombin to inhibit the enzyme. In contrast, the expression of alpha i-1 has significant effects on cell growth and on the mitogenic response to thrombin. The alpha i-1-transfected cells have a doubling time that is twice as long as control cells transfected with the same plasmid without a cDNA insert. Despite their slower growth, thymidine incorporation in response to thrombin is greater in transfected than in control cells. Thrombin-stimulated DNA synthesis is sensitive to inhibition by pertussis toxin and is 5-fold more sensitive to inhibition by pertussis toxin in transfected cells than in control cells. The changes are receptor-specific since the mitogenic response to platelet-derived growth factor is indistinguishable between control and transfected cells. These studies suggest that the alpha i subunit composition of the cell may have profound effects on its growth and its response to stimulation through a specific cell surface receptor.

Deregulated c-myc expression abrogates the interferon- and interleukin 6-mediated G0/G1 cell cycle arrest but not other inhibitory responses in M1 myeloblastic cells.

The proliferation of M1 myeloblastic cells can be specifically restricted at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle by exposure to alpha- and beta-interferons or to interleukin 6. The latter cytokine also induces the morphological and functional differentiation of these myeloblasts toward monocytes. Each of these two different cytokines suppresses the expression of the c-myc nuclear oncogene, and the selective reduction in c-myc mRNA and protein precedes the cell cycle changes. In order to investigate whether one or more of the growth-suppressive effects of interferon and interleukin 6 are mediated by c-myc reduction, M1 cells were transfected with SV40-driven c-myc plasmid, whose expression fails to be turned off by these two cytokines. A detailed analysis of the responses to interferon and to interleukin 6 revealed that all of the myc-transfected clones have lost the cytokine-mediated G0/G1 type of growth arrest. However, not all of the growth responses to these cytokines were rescued by this specific genetic manipulation, and the cytokine-treated transfected cells stopped to proliferate in a new fashion which was not cell cycle specific. In addition, the myc-transfected cells developed the differentiated phenotype in response to interleukin 6, as determined by the morphological change, expression of Fc receptors, and cytochemical analysis, suggesting that these molecular events can occur in the monocyte cell lineage in spite of the abnormal constitutive expression of c-myc.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A DNA Construct That Encodes the Rabies Virus Consensus Glycoprotein with a Proteasome Degradation Signal Induces Antibody Production with IgG2A Subtype Predominance

The possibility of enhancing the immunogenicity of the rabies virus glycoprotein antigen encoded by a DNA vaccine has been investigated. Ubiquitin-like protein FAT10 has been attached to the N-terminus of the glycoprotein to target it to the proteasome and stimulate its presentation by MHC class I. Two forms of the protein, chimeric and original, have been detected in cells transfected with the DNA construct encoding the chimeric protein. The presence of the glycoprotein on the cell surface has been detected by immunostaining of transfected cells. The production of IgG and IgG2a antibodies has been more efficiently induced in mice immunized with the plasmid that encodes the chimeric protein than in those immunized with the plasmid that encodes unmodified glycoprotein. Moreover, the level of IgG2a antibodies exceeded the level of IgG1 antibodies, which indicates a preferential increase in the Th1 component of the immune response. The proposed DNA construct that encodes a modified glycoprotein with a proteasome degradation signal may be a promising DNA vaccine immunogen for post-exposure prophylaxis of rabies.     

Differential transport and processing of variant mouse mammary tumor virus glycoproteins.

The transport and proteolytic processing of two individual gene isolates of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) glycoprotein were compared in transfected rat HTC hepatoma cells. Plasmids were constructed such that the MMTV glycoprotein genes were constitutively expressed from the promoter within the Rous Sarcoma Virus 5' Long Terminal Repeat in the absence of other MMTV proteins. An isolate of the GR strain MMTV glycoprotein was efficiently transported and processed resulting in the localization of MMTV glycoproteins at the cell surface and in the extracellular environment. Moreover, the kinetics of acquisition of endoglycosidase H resistant oligosaccharide side chains and the rate of endoproteolytic cleavage of the glycosylated polyprotein expressed in transfected cells were virtually identical to that observed in viral-infected rat hepatoma cells. In contrast, a natural variant of the C3H strain MMTV glycoprotein expressed in transfected cells was retained in an intracellular compartment by a heavy chain binding protein (BiP)-independent pathway in an endoglycosidase H sensitive and uncleaved form. This MMTV glycoprotein isolate was retained early in the exocytic pathway and displayed a half-life of approximately 45 min in transfected cells. Only a minor fraction of the expressed C3H variant glycoprotein was detected at the cell surface but was not externalized. Our results suggest that the variant C3H MMTV glycoprotein contains one or more mutations that preclude its efficient transport through the exocytic pathway.
