The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded replication proteins that account for the basic reactions at the replication fork are thought to be the EBV Pol holoenzyme, consisting of the BALF5 Pol catalytic and the BMRF1 Pol accessory subunits, the putative helicase-primase complex, comprising the BBLF4, BSLF1, and BBLF2/3 proteins, and the BALF2 single-stranded DNA-binding protein. Immunoprecipitation analyses using anti-BSLF1 or anti-BBLF2/3 protein-specific antibody with clarified lysates of B95-8 cells in a viral productive cycle suggested that the EBV Pol holoenzyme physically interacts with the BBLF4-BSLF1-BBLF2/3 complex to form a large complex. Although the complex was stable in 500 mM NaCl and 1% NP-40, the BALF5 protein became dissociated in the presence of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Experiments using lysates from insect cells superinfected with combinations of recombinant baculoviruses capable of expressing each of viral replication proteins showed that not the BMRF1 Pol accessory subunit but rather the BALF5 Pol catalytic subunit directly interacts with the BBLF4-BSLF1-BBLF2/3 complex. Furthermore, double infection with pairs of recombinant viruses revealed that each component of the BBLF4-BSLF1-BBLF2/3 complex makes contact with the BALF5 Pol catalytic subunit. The interactions of the EBV DNA polymerase with the EBV putative helicase-primase complex warrant particular attention because they are thought to coordinate leading- and lagging-strand DNA synthesis at the replication fork. 相似文献

A recombinant baculovirus containing the complete sequence for the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA polymerase catalytic subunit, BALF5 gene product, under the control of the baculovirus polyhedrin promoter was constructed. Insect cells infected with the recombinant virus produced a protein of 110 kDa, recognized by anti-BALF5 protein-specific polyclonal antibody. The expressed EBV DNA polymerase catalytic polypeptide was purified from the cytosolic fraction of the recombinant virus-infected insect cells. The purified protein exhibited both DNA polymerase and 3'-to-5' exonuclease activities, which were neutralized by the anti-BALF5 protein-specific antibody. These results indicate that the 3'-to-5' exonuclease activity associated with the EBV DNA polymerase (T. Tsurumi, Virology 182:376-381, 1991) is an inherent feature of the polymerase catalytic polypeptide. The DNA polymerase and the exonuclease activities of the EBV DNA polymerase catalytic subunit were sensitive to ammonium sulfate in contrast to those of the polymerase complex purified from EBV-producing lymphoblastoid cells, which were stimulated by salt. Furthermore, the template-primer preference for the polymerase catalytic subunit was different from that for the polymerase complex. These observations strongly suggest that the presence of EBV DNA polymerase accessory protein, BMRF1 gene product, does influence the enzymatic properties of EBV DNA polymerase catalytic subunit. 相似文献

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA polymerase catalytic subunit (BALF5 protein) and its accessory subunit (BMRF1 protein) have been independently overexpressed and purified (T. Tsurumi, A. Kobayashi, K. Tamai, T. Daikoku, R. Kurachi, and Y. Nishiyama, J. Virol. 67:4651-4658, 1993; T. Tsurumi, J. Virol. 67:1681-1687, 1993). In an investigation of the molecular basis of protein-protein interactions between the subunits of the EBV DNA polymerase holoenzyme, we compared the DNA polymerase activity catalyzed by the BALF5 protein in the presence or absence of the BMRF1 polymerase accessory subunit in vitro. The DNA polymerase activity of the BALF5 polymerase catalytic subunit alone was sensitive to high ionic strength on an activated DNA template (80% inhibition at 100 mM ammonium sulfate). Addition of the polymerase accessory subunit to the reaction greatly enhanced DNA polymerase activity in the presence of high concentrations of ammonium sulfate (10-fold stimulation at 100 mM ammonium sulfate). Optimal stimulation was obtained when the molar ratio of BMRF1 protein to BALF5 protein was 2 or more. The DNA polymerase activity of the BALF5 protein along with the BMRF1 protein was neutralized by a monoclonal antibody to the BMRF1 protein, whereas that of the BALF5 protein alone was not, suggesting a specific interaction between the BALF5 protein and the BMRF1 protein in the reaction. The processivity of nucleotide polymerization of the BALF5 polymerase catalytic subunit on singly primed M13 single-stranded DNA circles was low (approximately 50 nucleotides). Addition of the BMRF1 polymerase accessory subunit resulted in a strikingly high processive mode of deoxynucleotide polymerization (> 7,200 nucleotides). These findings strongly suggest that the BMRF1 polymerase accessory subunit stabilizes interaction between the EBV DNA polymerase and primer template and functions as a sliding clamp at the growing 3'-OH end of the primer terminus to increase the processivity of polymerization. 相似文献

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA polymerase catalytic subunit, BALF5 gene product, possesses an intrinsic 3'-to 5' proofreading exonuclease activity in addition to 5'-to-3' DNA polymerase activity (T. Tsurumi, A. Kobayashi, K. Tamai, T. Daikoku, R. Kurachi, and Y. Nishiyama, J. Virol. 67:4651-4658, 1993). The exonuclease hydrolyzed both double-and single-stranded DNA substrates with 3'-to-5' directionality, releasing deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphates. The double-strand exonucleolytic activity catalyzed by the BALF5 polymerase catalytic subunit was very sensitive to high ionic strength, whereas the single-strand exonucleolytic activity was moderately resistant. The addition of the BMRF1 polymerase accessory subunit to the reaction enhanced the double-strand exonucleolytic activity in the presence of high concentrations of ammonium sulfate (fourfold stimulation at 75 mM ammonium sulfate). Optimal stimulation was obtained when the molar ratio of BMRF1 protein to BALF5 protein was 2 and higher, identical to the values required for reconstituting the optimum DNA polymerizing activity (T. Tsurumi, T. Daikoku, R. Kurachi, and Y. Nishiyama, J. Virol. 67:7648-7653, 1993). Furthermore, product size analyses revealed that the polymerase catalytic subunit alone excised a few nucleotides from the 3' termini of the primer hybridized to template DNA and that the addition of the BMFR1 polymerase accessory subunit stimulated the nucleotide excision several times. In contrast, the hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA by the BALF5 protein was not affected by the addition of the BMRF1 polymerase accessory subunit at all. These observations suggest that the BMRF1 polymerase accessory subunit forms a complex with the BALF5 polymerase catalytic subunit to stabilize the interaction of the holoenzyme complex with the 3'-OH end of the primer on the template DNA during exonucleolysis. On the other hand, challenger DNA experiments revealed that the BALF5 polymerase catalytic subunit alone stably binds to the primer terminus in a stationary state, whereas the reconstituted polymerase holoenzyme is unstable. The instability of the initiation complex of the EBV DNA polymerase would allow the rapid removal of the EBV DNA polymerase holoenzyme from the lagging strand after it has replicated up to the previous Okazaki fragment. This feature of the EBV DNA polymerase holoenzyme in a stationary state is in marked contrast to the moving holoenzyme complex tightly bound to the primer end during polymerization and exonucleolysis. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) productive DNA replication occurs at discrete sites, called replication compartments, in nuclei. In this study we performed comprehensive analyses of the architecture of the replication compartments. The BZLF1 oriLyt binding proteins showed a fine, diffuse pattern of distribution throughout the nuclei at immediate-early stages of induction and then became associated with the replicating EBV genome in the replication compartments during lytic infection. The BMRF1 polymerase (Pol) processivity factor showed a homogenous, not dot-like, distribution in the replication compartments, which completely coincided with the newly synthesized viral DNA. Inhibition of viral DNA replication with phosphonoacetic acid, a viral DNA Pol inhibitor, eliminated the DNA-bound form of the BMRF1 protein, although the protein was sufficiently expressed in the cells. These observations together with the findings that almost all abundantly expressed BMRF1 proteins existed in the DNA-bound form suggest that the BMRF1 proteins not only act at viral replication forks as Pol processive factors but also widely distribute on newly replicated EBV genomic DNA. In contrast, the BALF5 Pol catalytic protein, the BALF2 single-stranded-DNA binding protein, and the BBLF2/3 protein, a component of the helicase-primase complex, were colocalized as distinct dots distributed within replication compartments, representing viral replication factories. Whereas cellular replication factories are constructed based on nonchromatin nuclear structures and nuclear matrix, viral replication factories were easily solubilized by DNase I treatment. Thus, compared with cellular DNA replication, EBV lytic DNA replication factories would be simpler so that construction of the replication domain would be more relaxed. 相似文献

The catalytic subunit of herpes simplex virus 1 DNA polymerase (HSV-1 Pol) has been extensively studied; however, its full complement of functional domains has yet to be characterized. A crystal structure has revealed a previously uncharacterized pre-NH2-terminal domain (residues 1 to 140) within HSV-1 Pol. Due to the conservation of the pre-NH2-terminal domain within the herpesvirus Pol family and its location in the crystal structure, we hypothesized that this domain provides an important function during viral replication in the infected cell distinct from 5′-3′ polymerase activity. We identified three pre-NH2-terminal Pol mutants that exhibited 5′-3′ polymerase activity indistinguishable from that of wild-type Pol in vitro: deletion mutants PolΔN43 and PolΔN52 that lack the extreme N-terminal 42 and 51 residues, respectively, and mutant PolA6, in which a conserved motif at residues 44 to 49 was replaced with alanines. We constructed the corresponding pol mutant viruses and found that the polΔN43 mutant displayed replication kinetics similar to those of wild-type virus, while polΔN52 and polA6 mutant virus infection resulted in an 8-fold defect in viral yield compared to that achieved with wild type and their respective rescued derivative viruses. Additionally, both polΔN52 and polA6 viruses exhibited defects in viral DNA synthesis that correlated with the observed reduction in viral yield. These results strongly indicate that the conserved motif within the pre-NH2-terminal domain is important for viral DNA synthesis and production of infectious virus and indicate a functional role for this domain. 相似文献

The DNA polymerase processivity factor of the Epstein-Barr virus, BMRF1, associates with the polymerase catalytic subunit, BALF5, to enhance the polymerase processivity and exonuclease activities of the holoenzyme. In this study, the crystal structure of C-terminally truncated BMRF1 (BMRF1-ΔC) was solved in an oligomeric state. The molecular structure of BMRF1-ΔC shares structural similarity with other processivity factors, such as herpes simplex virus UL42, cytomegalovirus UL44, and human proliferating cell nuclear antigen. However, the oligomerization architectures of these proteins range from a monomer to a trimer. PAGE and mutational analyses indicated that BMRF1-ΔC, like UL44, forms a C-shaped head-to-head dimer. DNA binding assays suggested that basic amino acid residues on the concave surface of the C-shaped dimer play an important role in interactions with DNA. The C95E mutant, which disrupts dimer formation, lacked DNA binding activity, indicating that dimer formation is required for DNA binding. These characteristics are similar to those of another dimeric viral processivity factor, UL44. Although the R87E and H141F mutants of BMRF1-ΔC exhibited dramatically reduced polymerase processivity, they were still able to bind DNA and to dimerize. These amino acid residues are located near the dimer interface, suggesting that BMRF1-ΔC associates with the catalytic subunit BALF5 around the dimer interface. Consequently, the monomeric form of BMRF1-ΔC probably binds to BALF5, because the steric consequences would prevent the maintenance of the dimeric form. A distinctive feature of BMRF1-ΔC is that the dimeric and monomeric forms might be utilized for the DNA binding and replication processes, respectively. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) utilizes a completely different mode of DNA replication during the lytic cycle than that employed during latency. The latency origin of replication, ori-P, which functions in the replication of the latent episomal form of the EBV genome, requires only a single virally encoded protein, EBNA-1, for its activity. During the lytic cycle, a separate origin, ori-Lyt, is utilized. Relatively little is known about the trans-acting proteins involved in ori-Lyt replication. We established a cotransfection-replication assay to identify EBV genes whose products are required for replication of ori-Lyt. In this assay, a BamHI-H plasmid containing ori-Lyt was replicated in Vero cells cotransfected with the BamHI-H target, the three EBV lytic-cycle transactivators Zta, Rta, and Mta, and the EBV genome provided in the form of a set of six overlapping cosmid clones. By removing individual cosmids from the cotransfection mixture, we found that only three of the six cosmids were necessary for ori-Lyt replication. Subcloning of the essential cosmids led to the identification of six EBV genes that encode replication proteins. These genes and their functions (either known or predicted on the basis of sequence comparison with herpes simplex virus) are BALF5, the DNA polymerase; BALF2, the single-stranded DNA-binding protein homolog; BMRF1, the DNA polymerase processivity factor; BSLF1 and BBLF4, the primase and helicase homologs; and BBLF2/3, a potential homolog of the third component of the helicase-primase complex. In addition, ori-Lyt replication in this cotransfection assay was also dependent on one or more genes provided by the EBV SalI-F fragment and on the three lytic-cycle transactivators Zta, Rta, and Mta. 相似文献

Pol γ, the only DNA polymerase found in human mitochondria, functions in both mtDNA repair and replication. During mtDNA base-excision repair, gaps are created after damaged base excision. Here we show that Pol γ efficiently gap-fills except when the gap is only a single nucleotide. Although wild-type Pol γ has very limited ability for strand displacement DNA synthesis, exo? (3′–5′ exonuclease-deficient) Pol γ has significantly high activity and rapidly unwinds downstream DNA, synthesizing DNA at a rate comparable to that of the wild-type enzyme on a primer-template. The catalytic subunit Pol γA alone, even when exo?, is unable to synthesize by strand displacement, making this the only known reaction of Pol γ holoenzyme that has an absolute requirement for the accessory subunit Pol γB. 相似文献

The mechanisms that control the fidelity of DNA replication are being investigated by a number of approaches, including detailed kinetic and structural studies. Important tools in these studies are mutant versions of DNA polymerases that affect the fidelity of DNA replication. It has been suggested that proper interactions within the core of DNA polymerase III (Pol III) of Escherichia coli could be essential for maintaining the optimal fidelity of DNA replication (H. Maki and A. Kornberg, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:4389–4392, 1987). We have been particularly interested in elucidating the physiological role of the interactions between the DnaE (α subunit [possessing DNA polymerase activity]) and DnaQ ( subunit [possessing 3′→5′ exonucleolytic proofreading activity]) proteins. In an attempt to achieve this goal, we have used the Saccharomyces cerevisiae two-hybrid system to analyze specific in vivo protein interactions. In this report, we demonstrate interactions between the DnaE and DnaQ proteins and between the DnaQ and HolE (θ subunit) proteins. We also tested the interactions of the wild-type DnaE and HolE proteins with three well-known mutant forms of DnaQ (MutD5, DnaQ926, and DnaQ49), each of which leads to a strong mutator phenotype. Our results show that the mutD5 and dnaQ926 mutations do not affect the subunit-α subunit and subunit-θ subunit interactions. However, the dnaQ49 mutation greatly reduces the strength of interaction of the subunit with both the α and the θ subunits. Thus, the mutator phenotype of dnaQ49 may be the result of an altered conformation of the protein, which leads to altered interactions within the Pol III core. 相似文献

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) BMRF1 protein is a DNA polymerase processivity factor. We have deleted the BMRF1 open reading frame from the EBV genome and assessed the DeltaBMRF1 EBV phenotype. DeltaBMRF1 viruses were replication deficient, but the wild-type phenotype could be restored by BMRF1 trans-complementation. The replication-deficient phenotype included impaired lytic DNA replication and late protein expression. DeltaBMRF1 and wild-type viruses were undistinguishable in terms of their ability to transform primary B cells. Our results provide genetic evidence that BMRF1 is essential for lytic replication of the EBV genome. 相似文献

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic transactivator Rta activates promoters through direct binding to cognate DNA sites termed Rta response elements (RREs). Rta also activates promoters that apparently lack Rta binding sites, notably Zp and Rp. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of endogenous Rta expressed during early replication in B95-8 cells was performed to identify Rta binding sites in the EBV genome. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis showed strong enrichment for known RREs but little or no enrichment for Rp or Zp, suggesting that the Rta ChIP approach enriches for direct Rta binding sites. Rta ChIP combined with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) identified most known RREs and several novel Rta binding sites. Rta ChIP-seq peaks were frequently upstream of Rta-responsive genes, indicating that these Rta binding sites are likely functioning as RREs. Unexpectedly, the BALF5 promoter contained an Rta binding peak. To assess whether BALF5 might be activated by an RRE-dependent mechanism, an Rta mutant (Rta K156A), deficient for DNA binding and RRE activation but competent for Zp/Rp activation, was used. Rta K156A failed to activate BALF5p, suggesting this promoter can be activated by an RRE-dependent mechanism. Rta binding to late gene promoters was not seen at early time points but was specifically detected at later times within the Rta-responsive BLRF2 and BFRF3 promoters, even when DNA replication was inhibited. Our results represent the first characterization of Rta binding to the EBV genome during replication, identify previously unknown RREs, such as one in BALF5p, and highlight the complexity of EBV late gene promoter activation by Rta. 相似文献

In Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-carrying nonproducer Raji cells, the induction of the viral replicative cycle by chemical treatment is limited to only the early stage and viral DNA synthesis is totally inhibited. We previously showed the absence of two messenger RNAs that are encoded by the BamHI-A fragment of the EBV genome and that correspond to open reading frames BALF2 and BARF1 in chemically induced Raji cells. Since the BALF2 gene encodes a 135-kDa DNA-binding protein which was immunoprecipitated by antibody against ICP8 protein, a key protein in herpes simplex virus replication, we asked whether the lack of productive cycle in Raji cells is due to the absence of expression of the BALF2 gene. We transfected the Raji cell line with the BALF2 gene. After chemical induction, the BALF2-transfected cells expressed not only early antigens but also late antigens. In these cultures, the viral particles were detected by electron microscopy. The expression of late antigens was completely inhibited by arabinofuranosylthymine, which is a specific inhibitor of viral DNA replication. The BALF2 gene might play an essential role in the induction of the EBV-lytic cycle. 相似文献

The human DNA polymerase ε catalytic subunit consists of a 140-kDa N‐terminal domain that contains the catalytic activity and a 120-kDa C-terminal domain that binds to the other subunits and to exogenous peptides, including PCNA and MDM2. We report here that recombinant human MDM2 purified from insect cells or Escherichia coli stimulated the activity of DNA polymerase ε up to 10- and 40-fold, respectively, but not those of DNA polymerase β or Klenow fragment of E.coli DNA polymerase I. Kinetic studies indicated that MDM2 increased the maximum velocity of the reaction, but did not change substrate affinities. The stimulation depended upon the interaction of the N‐terminal 166 amino acid residues of MDM2 with the C-terminal domain of the full-length catalytic subunit, since the deletion of 166 amino acids from N‐terminal of MDM2 or the removal of the C-terminal domain of DNA polymerase ε by trypsin digestion or competition for binding to it by the addition of excess C-terminal fragment eliminated the stimulation. Since DNA polymerase ε appears to be involved in DNA replication, recombination and repair synthesis, we suggest that MDM2 binding to DNA polymerase ε might be part of a reconfiguration process that allows DNA polymerase ε to associate with repair/recombination proteins in response to DNA damage. 相似文献

Single-stranded DNA binding (SSB) protein binds to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) at the lagging strand of the replication fork in Escherichia coli cells. This protein is essential for the survival of the E.coli cell, presumably because it shields the ssDNA and holds it in a suitable conformation for replication by DNA polymerase III. In this study we undertook a biophysical analysis of the interaction between the SSB protein of E.coli and the χ subunit of DNA polymerase III. Using analytical ultracentrifugation we show that at low salt concentrations there is an increase in the stability in the physical interaction between χ and an EcoSSB/ssDNA complex when compared to that of χ to EcoSSB alone. This increase in stability disappeared in high salt conditions. The sedimentation of an EcoSSB protein lacking its C-terminal 26 amino acids remains unchanged in the presence of χ, showing that χ interacts specifically with the C-terminus of EcoSSB. In DNA melting experiments we demonstrate that χ specifically enhances the ssDNA stabilization by EcoSSB. Thus, the binding of EcoSSB to χ at the replication fork prevents premature dissociation of EcoSSB from the lagging strand and thereby enhances the processivity of DNA polymerase III. 相似文献
