Antagonistic effects of cellular poly(C) binding proteins on vesicular stomatitis virus gene expression.
Immunoprecipitation and subsequent mass spectrometry analysis of the cellular proteins from cells expressing the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) P protein identified the poly(C) binding protein 2 (PCBP2) as one of the P protein-interacting proteins. To investigate the role of PCBP2 in the viral life cycle, we examined the effects of depletion or overexpression of this protein on VSV growth. Sm...
متن کاملInduction of stress granule-like structures in vesicular stomatitis virus-infected cells.
Previous studies from our laboratory revealed that cellular poly(C) binding protein 2 (PCBP2) downregulates vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) gene expression. We show here that VSV infection induces the formation of granular structures in the cytoplasm containing cellular RNA-binding proteins, including PCBP2, T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen 1 (TIA1), and TIA1-related protein (TIAR). Dep...
متن کاملSpecific antiviral activity of a poly(L-lysine)-conjugated oligodeoxyribonucleotide sequence complementary to vesicular stomatitis virus N protein mRNA initiation site.
Antisense oligonucleotides represent an interesting tool for selective inhibition of gene expression, but their efficient introduction within intact cells proved to be difficult to realize. As a step toward this goal, small (13- or 15-mer) synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides have been coupled at their 3' ends to epsilon-amino groups of lysine residues of poly(L-lysine) (Mr, 14,000). A 15-mer ol...
متن کاملOver Expression of Biologically Active Interferon Beta Using Synthetic Gene in E. coli
In this study, our previously reported novel synthetic gene encoding 166 residues of interferon-? was used for an efficient expression of IFN-?. The synthetic gene was cloned into pET21a expression vector and transferred into E. coli. Recombinant protein was over-expressed in the E. coli. Identity of the recombinant protein was confirmed by western blot analysis. The recombinant protein was bio...
متن کاملEffect of vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein on transcription directed by host RNA polymerases I, II, and III.
The matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) functions in virus assembly and inhibits host-directed gene expression independently of other viral components. Experiments in this study were carried out to determine the ability of M protein to inhibit transcription directed by each of the three host RNA polymerases (RNA polymerase I [RNAPI], RNAPII, and RNAPIII). The effects of wild-...
