PIV5 M protein interaction with host protein angiomotin-like 1

Paramyxovirus matrix (M) proteins organize virus assembly, functioning as adapters that link together viral ribonucleoprotein complexes and viral glycoproteins at infected cell plasma membranes. M proteins may also function to recruit and manipulate host factors to assist virus budding, similar to retroviral Gag proteins. By yeast two-hybrid screening, angiomotin-like 1 (AmotL1) was identified as a host factor that interacts with the M protein of parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5). AmotL1-M protein interaction was observed in yeast, in transfected mammalian cells, and in virus-infected cells. Binding was mapped to a 83-amino acid region derived from the C-terminal portion of AmotL1. Overexpression of M-binding AmotL1-derived polypeptides potently inhibited production of PIV5 VLPs and impaired virus budding. Expression of these polypeptides moderately inhibited production of mumps VLPs, but had no effect on production of Nipah VLPs. siRNA-mediated depletion of AmotL1 protein reduced PIV5 budding, suggesting that this interaction is beneficial to paramyxovirus infection.

Kinesin-2 mediates physical and functional interactions between polycystin-2 and fibrocystin

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in PKD1, encoding polycystin-1 (PC1), or PKD2 (polycystin-2, PC2). Autosomal recessive PKD (ARPKD) is caused by mutations in PKHD1, encoding fibrocystin/polyductin (FPC). No molecular link between ADPKD and ARPKD has been determined. Here, we demonstrated, by yeast two-hybrid and biochemical assays, that KIF3B, a motor subunit of kinesin-2, associates with PC2 and FPC. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) and inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells and human kidney revealed that PC2 and KIF3B, FPC and KIF3B and, furthermore, PC2 and FPC are endogenously in the same complex(es), though no direct association between the PC2 and FPC intracellular termini was detected. In vitro binding and Far Western blot experiments demonstrated that PC2 and FPC are in the same complex only if KIF3B is present, presumably by forming a PC2-KIF3B-FPC complex. This was supported by our observation that altering KIF3B level in IMCD cells by over-expression or siRNA significantly affected complexing between PC2 and FPC. Immunofluorescence experiments showed that PC2, FPC and KIF3B partially co-localized in primary cilia of over-confluent and perinuclear regions of sub-confluent cells. Furthermore, KIF3B mediated functional modulation of purified PC2 channels by FPC in a planer lipid bilayer electrophysiology system. The FPC C-terminus substantially stimulated PC2 channel activity in the presence of KIF3B, whereas FPC or KIF3B alone had no effect. Taken together, we discovered that kinesin-2 is a linker between PC2 and FPC and mediates the regulation of PC2 channel function by FPC. Our study may be important for elucidating common molecular pathways for PKD of different genotypes.     

Identification of a novel receptor-like protein kinase that interacts with a geminivirus nuclear shuttle protein

Despite extensive studies in plant virus-host interactions, the molecular mechanisms of geminivirus movement and interactions with host components remain largely unknown. A tomato kinase protein and its soybean homolog were found to interact specifically with the nuclear shuttle protein (NSP) of Tomato golden mosaic virus (TGMV) and Tomato crinkle leaf yellows virus (TCrLYV) through yeast two-hybrid screening and in vitro protein binding assays. These proteins, designated LeNIK (Lycopersicon esculentum NSP-Interacting Kinase) and GmNIK (Glycine max NIK), belong to the LRR-RLK (leucine rich-repeat receptor-like kinase) family that is involved in plant developmental processes and/or resistance response. As such, NIK is structurally organized into characteristic domains, including a serine/threonine kinase domain with a nucleotide binding site at the C-terminal region, an internal transmembrane segment and leucine-rich repeats (LRR) at the N-terminal portion. The potential significance of the NSP-NIK interaction is discussed.     

Identification of actin binding protein, ABP-280, as a binding partner of human Lnk adaptor protein

Human Lnk (hLnk) is an adaptor protein with multiple functional domains that regulates T cell activation signaling. In order to identify cellular Lnk binding partners, a yeast two-hybrid screening of human spleen cDNA library was carried out using human hLnk as bait. A polypeptide sequence identical to the C-terminal segment of the actin binding protein (ABP-280) was identified as a hLnk binding protein. The expressed hLnk and the FLAG tagged C-terminal 673 amino acid residues of ABP-280 or the endogenous ABP-280 in COS-7 cells could be co-immunoprecipitated using antibodies either to hLnk, FLAG or ABP-280, respectively. Furthermore, immunofluorescence confocal microscope showed that hLnk and ABP-280 co-localized at the plasma membrane and at juxtanuclear region of COS-7 cells. In Jurkat cells, the endogenous hLnk also associates with the endogenous ABP-280 indicating that the association of these two proteins is physiological. The interacting domains of both proteins were mapped using yeast two-hybrid assays. Our results indicate that hLnk binds to the residues 2006-2454 (repeats 19-23C) of ABP-280. The domain in hLnk that associates with ABP-280 was mapped to an interdomain region of 56 amino acids between pleckstrin homology and Src homology 2 domains. These results suggest that hLnk may exert its regulatory role through its association with ABP-280.     

Molecular basis of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD)

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a serious genetic disease characterized by cystic changes in the collecting ducts of the kidney and bile ducts within the liver. The gene for ARPKD (PKHD1) is located on chromosome 6p12 and encodes a protein called fibrocystin/polyductin (FPC), 1 of many proteins that are normally present at the primary cilia of the renal tubules and intrahepatic bile ducts. The severity of the clinical disease depends on the type of genetic mutations. Although exact function of FPC is not fully known, it is generally felt that like many of the other ciliary proteins, it plays a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity of organs such as kidney and liver, by modulating important cellular functions, including proliferation, secretion, apoptosis, and terminal differentiation. FPC probably works in conjunction with cellular proteins involved in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease that is, polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, which are also located in the primary cilia. Genetic abnormalities in PKHD1 may result in structural and functional abnormalities of FPC, leading to cystic phenotype.     

Hepatitis C virus core protein interacts with a human DEAD box protein DDX3.

Several studies have implicated hepatitis C virus (HCV) core in influencing the expression of host genes. To identify cellular factors with a possible role in HCV replication and pathogenesis, we looked for cellular proteins that interact with the viral core protein. A human liver cDNA library was screened in a yeast two-hybrid assay to identify cellular proteins that bind to core. Several positive clones were isolated, one of which encoded the C-terminal 253 amino acids of a putative RNA helicase, a DEAD box protein designated DDX3. Bacterially expressed glutathione-S-transferase-DDX3 fusion protein specifically pulled down in vitro translated and radiolabeled HCV core, confirming a direct interaction. Immunofluorescent staining of HeLa cells with a polyclonal antiserum showed that DDX3 is located predominantly in nuclear speckles and at low levels throughout the cytoplasm. In cells infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus expressing HCV structural proteins (core, E1, and E2), DDX3 and core colocalized in distinct spots in the perinuclear region of the cytoplasm. The regions of the proteins involved in binding were found by deletion analysis to be the N-terminal 59 amino acid residues of core and a C-terminal RS-like domain of DDX3. The human DDX3 is a putative RNA helicase and a member of a highly conserved DEAD box subclass that includes murine PL10, Xenopus An3, and yeast Ded1 proteins. Their role in RNA metabolism or gene expression is unknown. The significance of core-helicase interaction in HCV replication and pathogenesis is discussed.     

Epstein-Barr virus-encoded nuclear protein EBNA-3 interacts with the epsilon-subunit of the T-complex protein 1 chaperonin complex

OBJECTIVE: To find cellular proteins that associate with EBNA-3 (also called EBNA-3A), one of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded growth transformation-associated nuclear proteins. METHODS: Screening human cDNA libraries in the yeast two-hybrid system and performing an analysis of interaction in vitro as well as in cell lysates. RESULTS: EBNA-3 binds to the epsilon subunit of the chaperonin containing T-complex protein 1 (epsilon-TCP-1) in the yeast two-hybrid system. The cDNA clone isolated from a human lymphocyte library was found to encode the middle and C-terminal part of epsilon-TCP-1. The interaction was confirmed by showing that a GST fusion protein specifically precipitated EBNA-3 from CV1 cells infected with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing EBNA-3. The interacting region was mapped to the putative apical domain of epsilon-TCP-1. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that large, virus-encoded transforming proteins such as EBNA-3 may receive help for their initial folding by chaperonin complexes. The recognition of the chaperonin complex likely occurs through specific interaction with one of the subunits. We suggest that nascent EBNA-3 may recognize the TCP-1 complex by interacting with the apical region of the epsilon subunit.
