Analysis of the interactions of low-risk human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV11) L2 with karyopherin beta (Kap beta) nuclear import receptors revealed that L2 interacted with Kap beta 1, Kap beta 2, and Kap beta 3 and formed a complex with the Kap alpha 2 beta 1 heterodimer. HPV11 L2 contains two nuclear localization signals (NLSs)-in the N terminus and the C terminus-that could mediate its nuclear import via a classical pathway. Each NLS was functional in vivo, and deletion of both of them abolished L2 nuclear localization. Both NLSs interacted with the viral DNA. Thus, HPV11 L2 can interact with several karyopherins and the viral DNA and may enter the nucleus via multiple pathways. 相似文献

The positively charged termini of L2 minor capsid protein required for bovine papillomavirus infection function separately in nuclear import and DNA binding 下载免费PDF全文
During the papillomavirus (PV) life cycle, the L2 minor capsid protein enters the nucleus twice: in the initial phase after entry of virions into cells and in the productive phase to mediate encapsidation of the newly replicated viral genome. Therefore, we investigated the interactions of the L2 protein of bovine PV type 1 (BPV1) with the nuclear import machinery and the viral DNA. We found that BPV1 L2 bound to the karyopherin alpha2 (Kap alpha2) adapter and formed a complex with Kap alpha2beta1 heterodimers. Previous data have shown that the positively charged termini of BPV1 L2 are required for BPV1 infection after the binding of the virions to the cell surface. We determined that these BPV1 L2 termini function as nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Both the N-terminal NLS (nNLS) and the C-terminal NLS (cNLS) interacted with Kap alpha2, formed a complex with Kap alpha2beta1 heterodimers, and mediated nuclear import via a Kap alpha2beta1 pathway. Interestingly, the cNLS was also the major DNA binding site of BPV1 L2. Consistent with the promiscuous DNA encapsidation by BPV1 pseudovirions, this DNA binding occurred without nucleotide sequence specificity. Moreover, an L2 mutant encoding a scrambled version of the cNLS, which supports production of virions, rescued the DNA binding but not the Kap alpha2 interaction. These data support a model in which BPV1 L2 functions as an adapter between the viral DNA via the cNLS and the Kaps via the nNLS and facilitates nuclear import of the DNA during infection. 相似文献

The expression of albumin binding proteins (ABP, 31 and 18 kDa peptides) in various organs as a function of their ontogenic development was investigated in fetuses (20 days old), neonates (1 day old) and adult rabbits. At each of these stages, tissue extracts of brain, lung, thymus, heart, skeletal muscle and liver as well as whole embryos (11 days old) were examined by ligand blotting and quantitative immunoblot assays. Blots were either incubated with [125I]albumin followed by autoradiography and radioassay or exposed to a radioiodinated antibody raised against affinity-isolated 31 kDa peptide. Anti-31 kDa IgG cross-reacted with both 31 and 18 kDa peptides. Both methods used revealed that ABP are well expressed in embryos and in all fetal organs investigated. By comparison, in neonates, the ABP expression was diminished (by approximately 2-fold) in brain, heart and skeletal muscle. These changes were even more pronounced in the adult rabbit brain, heart, skeletal muscle and liver; no significant modification was detected in the lung. Prompted by these results, which inferred a high level of ABP in actively proliferating/differentiating tissues, we checked for the presence of ABP in other adult cells and tissues. In bone marrow cells, thymocytes and splenocytes, the 31 and 18 kDa peptides represented the major sodium dodecyl sulfate-urea extracted proteins, whereas in mature circulating white blood cells they were moderately expressed. The results indicate that ABP 1) are present early in embryogenesis, 2) are particularly well expressed in organs (fetal or adult) and cells characterized by active proliferation and differentiation, and 3) are not tissue specific.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
