The poly(rC) binding protein (PCBP) is a cellular protein required for poliovirus replication. PCBP specifically interacts with two domains of the poliovirus 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), the 5' cloverleaf structure, and the stem-loop IV of the internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Using footprinting analysis and site-directed mutagenesis, we have mapped the RNA binding site for this cellular protein within the stem-loop IV domain. A C-rich sequence in a loop at the top of this large domain is required for PCBP binding and is crucial for viral translation. PCBP binds to stem-loop IV RNA with six-times-higher affinity than to the 5' cloverleaf structure. However, the binding of the viral protein 3CD (precursor of the viral protease 3C and the viral polymerase 3D) to the cloverleaf RNA dramatically increases the affinity of PCBP for this RNA element. The viral protein 3CD binds to the cloverleaf RNA but does not interact directly with stem-loop IV nor with other RNA elements of the viral IRES. Our results indicate that the interactions of PCBP with the poliovirus 5'UTR are modulated by the viral protein 3CD. 相似文献

Poly(rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2) is one of several cellular proteins that interact specifically with a major stem-loop domain in the poliovirus internal ribosome entry site. HeLa cell extracts subjected to stem-loop IV RNA affinity chromatography were depleted of all detectable PCBP2. Such extracts were unable to efficiently translate poliovirus RNA, although extracts recovered from control columns of matrix unlinked to RNA retained full translation activity. Both translation and production of infectious progeny virus were restored in the PCBP2-depleted extracts by addition of recombinant PCBP2, but not by PCBP1, which is a closely related member of the protein family. The data show that PCBP2 is an essential factor, which is required for efficient translation of poliovirus RNA in HeLa cells. 相似文献

The limited coding capacity of picornavirus genomic RNAs necessitates utilization of host cell factors in the completion of an infectious cycle. One host protein that plays a role in both translation initiation and viral RNA synthesis is poly(rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2). For picornavirus RNAs containing type I internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements, PCBP2 binds the major stem-loop structure (stem-loop IV) in the IRES and is essential for translation initiation. Additionally, the binding of PCBP2 to the 5'-terminal stem-loop structure (stem-loop I or cloverleaf) in concert with viral protein 3CD is required for initiation of RNA synthesis directed by poliovirus replication complexes. PCBP1, a highly homologous isoform of PCBP2, binds to poliovirus stem-loop I with an affinity similar to that of PCBP2; however, PCBP1 has reduced affinity for stem-loop IV. Using a dicistronic poliovirus RNA, we were able to functionally uncouple translation and RNA replication in PCBP-depleted extracts. Our results demonstrate that PCBP1 rescues RNA replication but is not able to rescue translation initiation. We have also generated mutated versions of PCBP2 containing site-directed lesions in each of the three RNA-binding domains. Specific defects in RNA binding to either stem-loop I and/or stem-loop IV suggest that these domains may have differential functions in translation and RNA replication. These predictions were confirmed in functional assays that allow separation of RNA replication activities from translation. Our data have implications for differential picornavirus template utilization during viral translation and RNA replication and suggest that specific PCBP2 domains may have distinct roles in these activities. 相似文献

The human poly(rC)-binding protein (PCBP) 2 is known to interact with enteroviral RNA. Here, the interaction of PCBP2 with RNA target sequences at the 5′ end of the coxsackievirus B3 genome was investigated. Using the electrophoretic mobility shift assay and the yeast three-hybrid system, a short oligo(rC) tract connecting cloverleaf and IRES is demonstrated to contribute to PCBP2 binding. This oligo(rC) tract is conserved among entero- and rhinoviruses. In absence of the viral 3C proteinase, an extended cloverleaf RNA (nt 1-105) containing the oligo(rC) tract interacts with PCBP2 whereas the cloverleaf (nt 1-87) lacking the oligo(rC) tract does not. In the presence of 3C proteinase, cloverleaf RNA (1-87) interacts with PCBP2. 相似文献

To study the role of the RNA polymerase domain (3D) in the proteinase substrate recognition and RNA binding properties of poliovirus polypeptide 3CD, we generated recombinant 3C and 3CD polypeptides and purified them to near homogeneity. By using these purified proteins in in vitro cleavage assays with structural and non-structural viral polyprotein substrates, we found that 3CD processes the poliovirus structural polyprotein precursor (P1) 100 to 1000 times more efficiently than 3C processes P1. We also found that trans-cleavage of other 3CD molecules and sites within the non-structural P3 precursor is more efficiently mediated by 3CD than 3C. However, 3C and 3CD appear to be equally efficient in the processing of a non-structural polyprotein precursor, 2C3AB. Four mutated 3CD polyproteins with site-directed lesions in the 3D domain of the proteinase were analyzed for their ability to process viral polyprotein precursors and to form a ternary complex with RNA sequences encoded in the 5' terminus of the viral genome. Analysis of mutated 3CD polypeptides revealed that specific mutations within the 3D amino acid sequences of 3CD confer differential effects on 3CD activity. All four mutated 3CD proteins tested were able to process the P1 structural precursor with wild type or near wild type efficiency. However, three of the mutated enzymes demonstrated an impaired ability to process some sites within the P3 non-structural precursor, relative to wild type 3CD. One of the mutant 3CD polypeptides, 3CD-3DK127A, also displayed a defect in its ability to form a ternary ribonucleoprotein complex with poliovirus 5' RNA sequences. 相似文献

The poliovirus-encoded, membrane-associated polypeptide 2C is believed to be required for initiation and elongation of RNA synthesis. We have expressed and purified recombinant, histidine-tagged 2C and examined its ability to bind to the first 100 nucleotides of the poliovirus 5' untranslated region of the positive strand and its complementary 3'-terminal negative-strand RNA sequences. Results presented here demonstrate that the 2C polypeptide specifically binds to the 3'-terminal sequences of poliovirus negative-strand RNA. Since this region is believed to form a stable cloverleaf structure, a number of mutations were constructed to examine which nucleotides and/or structures within the cloverleaf are essential for 2C binding. Binding of 2C to the 3'-terminal cloverleaf of the negative-strand RNA is greatly affected when the conserved sequence, UGUUUU, in stem a of the cloverleaf is altered. Mutational studies suggest that interaction of 2C with the 3'-terminal cloverleaf of negative-strand RNA is facilitated when the sequence UGUUUU is present in the context of a double-stranded structure. The implication of 2C binding to negative-strand RNA in viral replication is discussed. 相似文献

Poliovirus (PV) mRNA is unusual because it possesses a 5'-terminal monophosphate rather than a 5'-terminal cap. Uncapped mRNAs are typically degraded by the 5' exonuclease XRN1. A 5'-terminal cloverleaf RNA structure interacts with poly(rC) binding proteins (PCBPs) to protect uncapped PV mRNA from 5' exonuclease (K. E. Murray, A. W. Roberts, and D. J. Barton, RNA 7:1126-1141, 2001). In this study, we examined de novo polysome formation using HeLa cell-free translation-replication reactions. PV mRNA formed polysomes coordinate with the time needed for ribosomes to traverse the viral open reading frame (ORF). Nascent PV polypeptides cofractionated with viral polysomes, while mature PV proteins were released from the polysomes. Alterations in the size of the PV ORF correlated with alterations in the size of polysomes with ribosomes present every 250 to 500 nucleotides of the ORF. Eukaryotic initiation factor 4GI (eIF4GI) was cleaved rapidly as viral polysomes assembled and the COOH-terminal portion of eIF4GI cofractionated with viral polysomes. Poly(A) binding protein, along with PCBP 1 and 2, also cofractionated with viral polysomes. A C24A mutation that inhibits PCBP-5'-terminal cloverleaf RNA interactions inhibited the formation and stability of nascent PV polysomes. Kinetic analyses indicated that the PCBP-5' cloverleaf RNA interaction was necessary to protect PV mRNA from 5' exonuclease immediately as ribosomes initially traversed the viral ORF, before viral proteins could alter translation factors within nascent polysomes or contribute to ribonucleoprotein complexes at the termini of the viral mRNA. 相似文献

A cDNA clone encoding the 3CD proteinase (3CDpro) of poliovirus type 2 (Sabin), the precursor to proteinase 3Cpro and RNA polymerase 3Dpol, was expressed in bacteria by using a T7 expression system. Site-specific mutagenesis of the 3C/3D cleavage site was performed to generate active proteolytic precursors impaired in their ability to process themselves to 3Cpro and 3Dpol. Of these mutations, the exchange of the Thr residue at the P4 position of the 3C/3D cleavage site for a Lys residue (3CDpro T181K) resulted in a mutant polypeptide exhibiting the smallest amount of autoprocessing. This mutant was purified to 86% homogeneity and used for subsequent proteolytic studies. Purified 3CDproM (M designates the cleavage site mutant 3CDpro T181K) was capable of cleaving the P1 capsid precursor, a peptide representing the 2BC cleavage site, and the 2BC precursor polypeptide. Purified 3CDproM demonstrated the same detergent sensitivity in processing experiments with the capsid precursor as was observed by using P1 and crude extracts of poliovirus-infected HeLa cell lysates. Purified 3CDproM did not have any detectable RNA polymerase activity, whereas 3Dpol, separated from 3CDproM by gel filtration in the last step of purification, did. We conclude that 3CDproM can process both structural and nonstructural precursors of the poliovirus polyprotein and that it is active against a synthetic peptide substrate. Moreover, cleavage of 3CD to 3Dpol is needed to activate the 3D RNA polymerase. 相似文献

Purification and properties of a HeLa cell enzyme able to remove the 5'-terminal protein from poliovirus RNA 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Using a rapid phenol extraction assay, an enzyme was purified from uninfected HeLa cells that can cleave the 5'-terminal protein (VPg) from poliovirus RNA. Both cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts had enzymes with similar behavior. A polypeptide of molecular weight 27,000 was the major one present in the purified preparation. Assuming that this protein is the enzyme, a very low turnover number was calculated for it. The purified enzyme would cleave the tyrosine-phosphate bond linking VPg to poliovirus RNA with minimal degradation of the RNA or of VPg. If the RNA was first treated with proteinase K to degrade VPg, leaving a small peptide on the RNA, this peptide could also be removed by the enzyme. If the RNA was degraded with T1 RNase, leaving VPg attached to a nonanucleotide, the enzyme still would cleave off VPg, although incompletely. If the RNA was degraded completely, leaving either pUp or pU attached to VPg, the enzyme would not remove the nucleotides from the protein. Thus, for the enzyme to be active requires some length of polynucleotide attached to the protein but only a short peptide need be present for the enzyme to act. 相似文献

Poly(A) binding protein, C-terminally truncated by the hepatitis A virus proteinase 3C, inhibits viral translation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Proteolytic cleavage of translation initiation factors is a means to interfere with mRNA circularization and to induce translation arrest during picornaviral replication or apoptosis. It was shown that the regulated cleavages of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4G and poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) by viral proteinases correlated with early and late arrest of host cap-dependent and viral internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-dependent translation, respectively. Here we show that in contrast to coxsackievirus, eIF4G is not a substrate of proteinase 3C of hepatitis A virus (HAV 3Cpro). However, PABP is cleaved by HAV 3Cpro in vitro and in vivo, separating the N-terminal RNA-binding domain (NTD) of PABP from the C-terminal protein-interaction domain. In vitro, NTD has a dominant negative effect on HAV IRES-dependent translation and an enhanced binding affinity to the RNA structural element pY1 in the 5′ nontranslated region of the HAV RNA that is essential for viral genome replication. The results point to a regulatory role of PABP cleavage in RNA template switching of viral translation to RNA synthesis. 相似文献

The cellular protein, poly(rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2), is known to function in picornavirus cap-independent translation. We have further examined the RNA binding properties and protein-protein interactions of PCBP2 necessary for translation. We have studied its putative multimerization properties utilizing the yeast two-hybrid assay and in vitro biochemical methods, including glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays and gel filtration. Through genetic analysis, the multimerization domain has been localized to the second K-homologous (KH) RNA binding domain of the protein between amino acids 125 and 158. To examine the function of multimerization in poliovirus translation, we utilized the truncated protein, DeltaKH1-PCBP2, which is capable of multimer formation, but does not bind poliovirus stem-loop IV RNA (an interaction required for translation). Utilizing RNA binding and in vitro translation assays, this protein was shown to act as a dominant negative, suggesting that PCBP2 multimerization functions in poliovirus translation and RNA binding. Additionally, PCBP2 containing a deletion in the multimerization domain (DeltaKH2-PCBP2) was not able to bind poliovirus stem-loop IV RNA and could not rescue translation in extracts that were depleted of endogenous PCBP2. Results from these experiments suggest that the multimerization of PCBP2 is required for efficient RNA binding and cap-independent translation of poliovirus RNA. By examining the functional interactions of the cellular protein PCBP2, we have discovered a novel determinant in the mechanism of picornavirus cap-independent translation. 相似文献

We used a synthetic double-stranded oligonucleotide to introduce amino acid substitutions into the proteinase 3C region of a poliovirus type 1 cDNA clone. The six different mutant viruses recovered exhibited a small-plaque phenotype when assayed on HeLa cells. Further investigation revealed that all the mutations (with the exception of one) yielded P3 region proteins that displayed altered mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A conservative Val----Ala change at amino acid 54 of the proteinase resulted in a virus that was deficient in the production of the mature viral RNA polymerase 3D. Although this mutant achieved less than one-half of the wild-type levels of RNA synthesis during the course of infection, it still grew to nearly wild-type titers. 相似文献

The existence of a computer-predicted cloverleaf structure for the first 100 nucleotides at the 5' end of poliovirus RNA was verified by site-directed mutagenesis and by chemical and RNAase probing. Mutations that modified the cloverleaf in the positive strand but not the negative strand were lethal to the virus. This RNA cloverleaf structure binds a cellular protein and the viral proteins 3Cpro and 3Dpol. Mutations in specific regions of the RNA cloverleaf prevented this binding. Mutations in either 3Cpro or the RNA that disrupted ribonucleoprotein complex formation inhibited virus growth and selectively affected positive strand RNA accumulation. Phenotypic reversion of these mutations restored the ability to form the complex. Thus, a cloverleaf structure in poliovirus RNA plays a central role in organizing viral and cellular proteins involved in positive strand production. 相似文献

On the basis of sequence alignments and secondary structure comparisons of the first 100 nucleotides of enterovirus and rhinovirus RNAs, chimeric constructs in which this region of poliovirus type 1 Mahoney [PV1(M)] is replaced with that of human rhinovirus type 2 (HRV2) or HRV14 have been engineered. These chimeric constructs contain the internal ribosomal entry site of either poliovirus or encephalomyocarditis virus. Independent of the internal ribosomal entry site elements, only the constructs containing either the PV1(M) or HRV2 cloverleaf sequences yielded viable viruses. The secondary structures of all three cloverleaves are quite similar. However, highly purified polioviral proteins 3CDpro and 3AB together bound to the PV1(M) and HRV2 cloverleaves, albeit with different affinities, whereas the HRV14 homolog did not interact with these proteins to any appreciable extent. These results support a mechanism of poliovirus genomic replication in which the formation of a complex between the cloverleaf structure and the 3CDpro/3AB proteins of poliovirus plays an essential role. 相似文献

Poliovirus interactions with host cells were investigated by studying the formation of ribonucleoprotein complexes at the 3' end of poliovirus negative-strand RNA which are presumed to be involved in viral RNA synthesis. It was previously shown that two host cell proteins with molecular masses of 36 and 38 kDa bind to the 3' end of viral negative-strand RNA at approximately 3 to 4 h after infection. We tested the hypothesis that preexisting cellular proteins are modified during the course of infection and are subsequently recruited to play a role in viral replication. It was demonstrated that the 38-kDa protein, either directly or indirectly, is the product of processing by poliovirus 3CD/3C proteinase. Only the modified 38-kDa protein, not its precursor protein, has a high affinity for binding to the 3' end of viral negative-strand RNA. This modification depends on proteolytically active proteinase, and a direct correlation between the levels of 3CD proteinase and the 38-kDa protein was demonstrated in infected tissue culture cells. The nucleotide (nt) 5-10 region (positive-strand numbers) of poliovirus negative-strand RNA is important for binding of the 38-kDa protein. Deletion of the nt 5-10 region in full-length, positive-strand RNA renders the RNA noninfectious in transfection experiments. These results suggest that poliovirus 3CD/3C proteinase processes a cellular protein which then plays an essential role during the viral life cycle. 相似文献

Recombinant hnRNP K-homology (KH) domains 1 and 3 of the poly(rC)-binding protein (PCBP) 2 were purified and assayed for interaction with coxsackievirus B3 RNA in electrophoretic mobility shift assays using in vitro transcribed RNAs which represent signal structures of the 5′-nontranslated region. KH domains 1 and 3 interact with the extended cloverleaf RNA and domain IV RNA of the internal ribosome entry site (IRES). KH1 but not KH3 interacts with subdomain IV/C RNA, whereas KH3 interacts with subdomain IV/B. All in vitro results are consistent with yeast three-hybrid experiments performed in parallel. The data demonstrate interaction of isolated PCBP2 KH1 and KH3 domains to four distinct target sites within the 5′-nontranslated region of the CVB3 genomic RNA. 相似文献

Bunyamwera virus (BUNV) is the prototype of both the Orthobunyavirus genus and the Bunyaviridae family of segmented negative-sense RNA viruses. The tripartite BUNV genome consists of small (S), medium (M), and large (L) segments that are each transcribed to yield a single mRNA and are replicated to generate an antigenome that acts as a template for synthesis of further genomic strands. As for all negative-sense RNA viruses, the 3'- and 5'-terminal nontranslated regions (NTRs) of the BUNV S, M, and L segments exhibit nucleotide complementarity and, except for one conserved U-G pairing, this complementarity extends for 15, 18, and 19 nucleotides, respectively. We investigated whether the complementarity of 3' and 5' NTRs reflected a functional requirement for terminal cooperation to promote BUNV RNA synthesis or, alternatively, was a consequence of genomic and antigenomic NTRs having similar functions requiring sequence conservation. We show that cooperation between 3'- and 5'-NTR sequences is required for BUNV RNA synthesis, and our results suggest that this cooperation is due to nucleotide complementarity allowing 3' and 5' NTRs to associate through base-pairing interactions. To examine the importance of complementarity in promoting BUNV RNA synthesis, we utilized a competitive replication assay able to examine the replication ability of all possible combinations of interacting nucleotides within a defined region of BUNV 3' and 5' NTRs. We show here that maximal RNA replication was signaled when sequences exhibiting perfect complementarity within 3' and 5' NTRs were selected. 相似文献

The poly(rC)-binding proteins (PCBP1 and PCBP2) are RNA-binding proteins whose RNA recognition motifs are composed of three K homology (KH) domains. These proteins are involved in both the stabilization and translational regulation of several cellular and viral RNAs. PCBP1 and PCBP2 specifically interact with both the 5'-element known as the cloverleaf structure and the large stem-loop IV RNA of the poliovirus 5'-untranslated region. We have found that the first KH domain of PCBP2 (KH1) specifically interacts with the viral RNAs, and together with viral protein 3CD, KH1 forms a high affinity ternary ribonucleoprotein complex with the cloverleaf RNA, resembling the full-length PCBP protein. Furthermore, KH1 acts as a dominant-negative mutant to inhibit translation from a poliovirus reporter gene in both Xenopus laevis oocytes and HeLa cell in vitro translation extracts. 相似文献
