Ebola virus VP35 induces high-level production of recombinant TPL-2–ABIN-2–NF-κB1 p105 complex in co-transfected HEK-293 cells

چکیده
Activation of PKR (double-stranded-RNA-dependent protein kinase) by DNA plasmids decreases translation, and limits the amount of recombinant protein produced by transiently transfected HEK (human embryonic kidney)-293 cells. Co-expression with Ebola virus VP35 (virus protein 35), which blocked plasmid activation of PKR, substantially increased production of recombinant TPL-2 (tumour progression locus 2)-ABIN-2 [A20-binding inhibitor of NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) 2]-NF-κB1 p105 complex. VP35 also increased expression of other co-transfected proteins, suggesting that VP35 could be employed generally to boost recombinant protein production by HEK-293 cells.

The MKK1/2 kinase tumour progression locus 2 (TPL-2) is critical for the production of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) in innate immune responses and a potential anti-inflammatory drug target. Several earlier pharmaceutical company screens with the isolated TPL-2 kinase domain have identified small-molecule inhibitors that specifically block TPL-2 signalling in cells, but none of these have...
متن کاملNF-κB1 Inhibits TLR-Induced IFN-β Production in Macrophages Through TPL-2-dependent ERK Activation1
Although NF-κB1 p50/p105 has critical roles in immunity, the mechanism by which NF-κB1 regulates inflammatory responses is unclear. Here, we analyzed the gene expression profile of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Nfkb1−/− macrophages that lack both p50 and p105. Deficiency of p50/p105 selectively increased the expression of interferon (IFN)-responsive genes, which correlated with increased ...

متن کاملTLR and TNF-R1 activation of the MKK3/MKK6–p38α axis in macrophages is mediated by TPL-2 kinase
Previous studies suggested that Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation of the p38α MAP kinase (MAPK) is mediated by transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) activation of MAPK kinases, MKK3, MKK4 and MKK6. We used quantitative mass spectrometry to monitor tumour progression locus 2 (TPL-2)-dependent protein phosphorylation following TLR4 stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, comparin...

Background: Pilot and large-scale production of recombinant proteins requires the presence of stable clones capable of producing large quantities of recombinant proteins. Not only the process of selecting stable clones is time consuming, but also the continuous culturing of clones in large-scale production may cause loss of incoming plasmid and recombinant genes. Thus, considering the advanceme...
