Cleavage of osmosensitive transcriptional factor NFAT5 by Coxsackieviral protease 2A promotes viral replication
Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5)/Tonicity enhancer binding protein (TonEBP) is a transcription factor induced by hypertonic stress in the kidney. However, the function of NFAT5 in other organs has rarely been studied, even though it is ubiquitously expressed. Indeed, although NFAT5 was reported to be critical for heart development and function, its role in infectious heart diseases...
متن کاملTargeting 2A protease by RNA interference attenuates coxsackieviral cytopathogenicity and promotes survival in highly susceptible mice.
BACKGROUND Enteroviridae such as coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) are important infectious agents involved in viral heart disease, hepatitis, and pancreatitis, but no specific antiviral therapy is available. METHODS AND RESULTS The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of RNA interference on viral replication, cytopathogenicity, and survival. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules were...
متن کاملBlocking human enterovirus 71 replication by targeting viral 2A protease.
OBJECTIVES Human enterovirus 71 (EV-71), a member of the Enterovirus genus, constitutes a major public health issue in the Asia-Pacific region, where it is associated with several severe neurological complications. There is currently no effective vaccine or antiviral against EV-71. The aim of this study was to determine whether the six amino acid peptide LVLQTM, which was previously shown to in...
متن کاملTonicity-independent regulation of the osmosensitive transcription factor TonEBP (NFAT5).
Tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein (TonEBP/nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5 [NFAT5]) is a Rel homology transcription factor classically known for its osmosensitive role in regulating cellular homeostasis during states of hypo- and hypertonic stress. A recently growing body of research indicates that TonEBP is not solely regulated by tonicity, but that it can be stimulated by vari...
متن کاملDefective RNA replication by poliovirus mutants deficient in 2A protease cleavage activity.
2A protease (2Apro) catalyzes the initial cleavage of the poliovirus polyprotein which separates the P1 structural protein precursor from the P2-P3 nonstructural protein precursor. In addition, 2Apro indirectly induces cleavage of the p220 component of eukaryotic initiation factor 4F, which is thought to contribute to the specific inhibition of host cell protein synthesis observed in virus-infe...
