Species-specific substrate interaction of picornavirus 3C proteinase suballelic exchange mutants.

چکیده
The substrate recognition properties of the polio-virus type 1 and coxsackievirus B3 3C proteinases have been examined in vitro by allelic and suballelic exchange of 3C between the cloned virus genomes. The activity of the altered 3C proteinases was examined by translation of synthetic RNA in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate/HeLa cell extract translation system. Analysis of the subsequent processing of virus polyproteins by the altered 3C proteinases showed that all of the mutant proteinases maintained some catalytic activity. The disruption of polyprotein cleavages mediated by 3C followed a distinct pattern, suggesting a specific order of events in processing the polyprotein. Differences in cleavage activity of mutant proteinases when tested on coxsackievirus or poliovirus protein substrates suggest that, although structural elements throughout the proteinase play a role in efficient substrate utilization, the carboxyl-terminal region of the 3C proteinase contains elements most important in species-specific substrate recognition.

Poliovirus thiol proteinase 3C can utilize a serine nucleophile within the putative catalytic triad.
The picornavirus 3C proteinases are substrate-specific thiol proteases that have been shown by secondary structure predictions and protein modeling studies to be similar to the trypsin-like serine proteases. We have examined several mutations of the 3C proteinase at putative active site and non-active site residues. The effect on 3C-mediated protein processing supports the model of serine prote...
متن کاملUtilization of a mammalian cell-based RNA binding assay to characterize the RNA binding properties of picornavirus 3C proteinases.
Using an assay capable of detecting sequence-specific RNA/protein interactions in mammalian cells, we demonstrate that the poliovirus and rhinovirus 3C proteinases are able to bind structured target RNA sequences derived from their respective 5' noncoding regions in vivo. Specific RNA binding by poliovirus 3C was found to be dependent on the integrity of stem-loop d of the RNA cloverleaf struct...
متن کاملSeneca Valley Virus 3C Substrate Optimization Yields Efficient Substrates for Use in Peptide-Prodrug Therapy
The oncolytic picornavirus Seneca Valley Virus (SVV-001) demonstrates anti-tumor activity in models of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), but may ultimately need to be combined with cytotoxic therapies to improve responses observed in patients. Combining SVV-001 virotherapy with a peptide prodrug activated by the viral protease 3C is a novel strategy that may increase the therapeutic potential of S...
متن کاملInsights into cleavage specificity from the crystal structure of foot-and-mouth disease virus 3C protease complexed with a peptide substrate.
Picornavirus replication is critically dependent on the correct processing of a polyprotein precursor by 3C protease(s) (3C(pro)) at multiple specific sites with related but non-identical sequences. To investigate the structural basis of its cleavage specificity, we performed the first crystallographic structural analysis of non-covalent complexes of a picornavirus 3C(pro) with peptide substrat...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of three Ljungan virus isolates reveals a new, close-to-root lineage of the Picornaviridae with a cluster of two unrelated 2A proteins.
Ljungan virus (LV) is a suspected human pathogen recently isolated from bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus). In the present study, it is revealed through comparative sequence analysis that three newly determined Swedish LV genomes are closely related and possess a deviant picornavirus-like organization: 5' untranslated region-VP0-VP3-VP1-2A1-2A2-2B-2C-3A-3B-3C-3D-3' untranslated region. The LV...
