ABSTRACT The abundant nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) functions in DNA damage surveillance and repair and at the decision between apoptosis and necrosis. Here we show that PARP binds to simian virus 40 (SV40) capsid proteins VP1 and VP3. Furthermore, its enzymatic activity is stimulated by VP3 but not by VP1. Experiments with purified mutant proteins demonstrated that the PARP binding domain in VP3 is localized to the 35 carboxy-terminal amino acids, while a larger peptide of 49 amino acids was required for full stimulation of its activity. The addition of 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB), a known competitive inhibitor of PARP, demonstrated that PARP participates in the SV40 life cycle. The titer of SV40 propagated on CV-1 cells was reduced by 3-AB in a dose-dependent manner. Additional experiments showed that 3-AB did not affect viral DNA replication or capsid protein production. PARP did not modify the viral capsid proteins in in vitro poly(ADP-ribosylation) assays, implying that it does not affect SV40 infectivity. On the other hand, it greatly reduced the magnitude of the host cytopathic effects, a hallmark of SV40 infection. Additional experiments suggested that the stimulation of PARP activity by VP3 leads the infected cell to a necrotic pathway, characterized by the loss of membrane integrity, thus facilitating the release of mature SV40 virions from the cells. Our studies identified a novel function of the minor capsid protein VP3 in the recruitment of PARP for the SV40 lytic process.

With the murine retinoblastoma (RB) cDNA, a series of RB mutants were expressed in COS-1 cells and the pRB products were assessed for their ability (i) to bind to large T antigen (large T), (ii) to become modified by phosphorylation, and (iii) to localize in the nucleus. All point mutations and deletions introduced into regions previously defined as contributing to binding to large T abolished pRB-large T complex formation and prevented hyperphosphorylation of the RB protein. In contrast, a series of deletions 5' to these sites did not interfere with binding to large T. While some of the 5' deletion mutants were clearly phosphorylated in a cell cycle-dependent manner, one, delta Pvu, failed to be phosphorylated depsite binding to large T. pRB with mutations created at three putative p34cdc2 phosphorylation sites in the N-terminal region behaved similarly to wild-type pRB, whereas the construct delta P5-6-7-8, mutated at four serine residues C terminal to the large T-binding site, failed to become hyperphosphorylated despite retaining the ability to bind large T. All of the mutants described were also found to localize in the nucleus. These results demonstrate that the domains in pRB responsible for binding to large T are distinct from those recognized by the relevant pRB-specific kinase(s) and/or those which contain cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation sites. Furthermore, these data are consistent with a model in which cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation of pRB requires complex formation with other cellular proteins.

We located and characterized a downstream transcriptional regulatory element in the human gastrin gene by transferring the gastrin gene 3' fragment, from which the polyadenylation signal sequence was deleted, into the shuttle vector pSCAT10 at a site located immediately downstream from the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene and upstream from the simian virus 40 polyadenylation region. Study of CAT RNA derived from the hybrid plasmids, indicated regulation of transcription on the gastrin gene fragment. Analysis of deletion mutants generated from the 5' region of the fragment by CAT assay and by S1 nuclease mapping of mRNAs indicated the possible involvement of an oligothymidylate-rich sequence in transcription regulation. Mapping of gastrin gene RNA 3' ends to the 5' side proximal to the oligothymidylate-rich sequence clearly demonstrated that this sequence is a transcriptional terminator element. This unique sequence, interspersed with one or two adenines, which also functions in an orientation-dependent manner, is located 192 nucleotides downstream from the gastrin gene polyadenylation site, and serves as a transcriptional termination signal.

Seven simian virus 40 (SV40)-hepatocyte cell lines were characterized with respect to the ability to express eight liver acute-phase genes. cDNA clones corresponding to albumin, serum amyloid A, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, haptoglobin, alpha-, beta-, and gamma-fibrinogen, and alpha 1-major-acute-phase protein mRNAs were used in Northern (RNA) or slot blot analyses. In the noninduced state, six of the seven cell lines showed significant (i.e., liverlike) levels of constitutive expression of all genes examined except that expression of haptoglobin mRNA was considerable lower than in the normal liver. To examine whether these immortalized liver cells can respond appropriately to inflammatory mediators, cells were treated with conditioned medium from activated human monocytes or mixed lymphocyte cultures. Results showed that these SV40-hepatocyte cell lines responded to the conditioned media in culture by down-regulating albumin gene expression and up-regulating other acute-phase genes in a time- and dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that the SV40-hepatocytes retained not only the ability to express a number of acute-phase genes but also the ability to respond to external stimuli. The usefulness of these cell lines for analysis of the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of these acute-phase genes is discussed.

We have examined the ability of simian virus 40 T antigen to stimulate transcription from the adenovirus E2 promoter. T antigen, produced from a cotransfected plasmid, stimulated chloramphenicol acetyltransferase enzyme and mRNA production from an E2 promoter-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fusion plasmid (pEC113) in monkey kidney CV-1 cells. The level of stimulation of E2 transcription by simian virus 40 T antigen was equal to that observed in cotransfections of pEC113 and the adenovirus E1A gene product. Deletion mutations from the 5' end of the E2 promoter were examined for their ability to express basal, T-antigen, or E1A trans-activated promoter activity. In each case, deletion of upstream promoter sequences to -70 base pairs reduced chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression to approximately 30% of the level observed with the intact E2 promoter. Deletion to -59 base pairs resulted in chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression that was 3 to 5% of that observed with the intact E2 promoter. At saturating levels of the stimulatory proteins, the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase levels obtained in response to T antigen and adenovirus E1A were additive. COS-1 cells, which are derived from CV-1 cells and constitutively express simian virus 40 T antigen, do not support E2 promoter trans activation by T antigen. E1A trans activation of the E2 promoter is efficient in COS-1 cells. These results suggest that although promoter sequence requirements are similar, T antigen and E1A trans activate the E2 promoter by different mechanisms.

ABSTRACT During virus assembly, the capsid proteins of RNA viruses bind to genomic RNA to form nucleocapsids. However, it is now evident that capsid proteins have additional functions that are unrelated to nucleocapsid formation. Specifically, their interactions with cellular proteins may influence signaling pathways or other events that affect virus replication. Here we report that the rubella virus (RV) capsid protein binds to poly(A)-binding protein (PABP), a host cell protein that enhances translational efficiency by circularizing mRNAs. Infection of cells with RV resulted in marked increases in the levels of PABP, much of which colocalized with capsid in the cytoplasm. Mapping studies revealed that capsid binds to the C-terminal half of PABP, which interestingly is the region that interacts with other translation regulators, including PABP-interacting protein 1 (Paip1) and Paip2. The addition of capsid to in vitro translation reaction mixtures inhibited protein synthesis in a dose-dependent manner; however, the capsid block was alleviated by excess PABP, indicating that inhibition of translation occurs through a stoichiometric mechanism. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a viral protein that inhibits protein translation by sequestration of PABP. We hypothesize that capsid-dependent inhibition of translation may facilitate the switch from viral translation to packaging RNA into nucleocapsids.

ABSTRACT Transient disulfide bonding occurs during the intracellular folding and pentamerization of simian virus 40 (SV40) major capsid protein Vp1 (P. P. Li, A. Nakanishi, S. W. Clark, and H. Kasamatsu, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99:1353-1358, 2002). We investigated the requirement for Vp1 cysteine pairs during SV40 infection. Our analysis identified three Vp1 double-cysteine mutant combinations that abolished viability as assayed by plaque formation. Mutating the Cys49-Cys87 pair or the Cys87-Cys254 pair led to ineffective nuclear localization and diminished accumulation of the mutant Vp1s, and the defect extended in a dominant-negative manner to the wild-type minor capsid proteins Vp2/3 and an affinity-tagged recombinant Vp1 expressed in the same cells. Mutating the Cys87-Cys207 pair preserved the nuclear localization and normal accumulation of the capsid proteins but diminished the production of virus-like particles. Our results are consistent with a role for Cys49, Cys87, and Cys254 in the folding and cytoplasmic-nuclear trafficking of Vp1 and with a role for Cys87 and Cys207 in the assembly of infectious particles. These findings suggest that transient disulfide bond formation between certain Vp1 cysteine residues functions at two stages of SV40 infection: during Vp1 folding and oligomerization in the cytoplasm and during virion assembly in the nucleus.

UV irradiation of African green monkey cells greatly stimulated efficiency of simian virus 40 induction from simian virus 40-transformed Syrian hamster cells after cell fusion. The maximum inducing activity was observed at 15 to 20 h after irradiation but remained only transiently. The addition of cycloheximide after UV irradiation eliminated the stimulation of the activity.
