The induction of phosphorylation of both protein P1 and protein synthesis initiation factor eIF-2 alpha and the inhibition of virus replication were examined in mouse L929 fibroblasts treated with either natural mouse or individual cloned human interferons (IFN). Natural mouse IFN synthesized in Newcastle disease virus-induced L929 cells and two cloned human leukocyte IFN subspecies synthesized in Escherichia coli, IFN-alpha D and IFN-alpha A/D, possessed antiviral activity in L929 cells as measured by single cycle virus yield reduction with both vesicular stomatitis virus and reovirus. Natural L929 IFN and cloned IFNs, alpha D and alpha A/D, also induced the protein kinase that catalyzed the phosphorylation of endogenous ribosome-associated protein P1 and the alpha subunit of purified initiation factor eIF-2. Two other cloned human IFNs, alpha A and alpha D/A, were poor inducers of both the antiviral state and the phosphorylation of P1 and eIF-2 alpha in mouse L929 cells. The ability of individual human IFN-alpha subspecies to induce P1 and eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation in mouse L929 cells correlated with their ability to induce an antiviral state. Furthermore, the detailed kinetics of induction, in mouse L929 cells, of P1 and eIF-2 alpha phosphorylation and of the antiviral state by the heterologous cloned human IFN-alpha A/D were equivalent to the kinetics of induction by the homologous natural mouse L929 IFN. These results suggest that different subspecies of biologically active IFN induce equivalent antiviral activities and biochemical changes in mouse L929 cells, and that protein phosphorylation may play a major role in the antiviral mechanism of IFN action in mouse L929 fibroblasts.

The kinetics of decay of the antiviral state and protein phosphorylation induced with natural mouse interferon (IFN) and with cloned human IFN were examined in monolayer cultures of mouse Ll929 fibroblast cells. The antiviral state measured by single cycle virus yield reduction with either vesicular stomatitis virus or reovirus decayed significantly within 2 to 3 days following removal of IFN and by 5 to 8 days virus yields had returned to the level of untreated control cells. Trypsinization of IFN-treated cells did not detectably alter the rate of decay of the antiviral state; however, the decay occurred slightly more rapidly in actively growing as compared to stationary cell cultures. The decay of the IFN-induced protein kinase which catalyzes the phosphorylation of endogenous protein P1 and purified initiation factor eIF-2 alpha correlated with the decay of the antiviral state. The decay rates of the antiviral state and protein kinase observed in mouse L929 cells that had been treated with natural mouse IFN synthesized in Newcastle disease virus-induced L929 cells were comparable to the decay rates observed in L929 cells that had been treated with recombinant human IFN-alpha A/D synthesized in Escherichia coli. The induction and decay of the antiviral state and protein kinase following treatment with a single dose of IFN did not significantly affect the sensitivity of the cell population to a subsequent treatment with a single dose of IFN. However, continuous treatment of L929 cells with natural mouse IFN or recombinant human IFN prevented the decay of both the antiviral state and protein kinase but also ultimately lead to cell death. The results suggest that protein phosphorylation may play an important role in the mechanism of IFN action in mouse L929 fibroblasts.

Infectious leukemia virus production by two chronically infected NIH/MOL lines was strongly inhibited by interferon treatment of the cells. The corresponding degree of inhibition in JLSV-11 cells was much lower. Multiplication of encephalomyocarditis virus in all three cell lines was barely affected by interferon treatment. Replication of vesicular stomatitis virus, on the other hand, was highly sensitive to interferon in the JLSV-11 line and in one NIH/MOL line but was practically insensitive in the other NIH/MOL line. Anticellular actions of interferon were more pronounced in the JLSV-11 line than in the others. In response to interferon treatment, 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase activity was induced to a high level in JLSV-11 cells and to lower levels in the NIH/MOL lines. We failed to detect any 2',5'-oligoadenylate-dependent endonuclease activity in extracts of these cells. Double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activity was present in extracts of interferon-treated NIH/MOL cells, but it was barely detectable in extracts of interferon-treated JLSV-11 cells. The above studies demonstrated that interferon could differentially affect the replication of three different viruses in three different cell lines, including two seemingly identical NIH/MOL lines, and that certain tentative conclusions can be drawn regarding the roles of different interferon-inducible enzyme markers in the different antiviral actions of interferons.

Bleomycin, vincristine, or mitomycin C, when added to HeLa cells simultaneously with human fibroblast interferon (IFN-beta), caused a decrease in cell density and inhibited DNA synthesis compared with HeLa cells treated with IFN-beta alone. However, the IFN-beta-induced antiviral processes were unaffected by the presence of these drugs as determined by in vitro enzyme assays and the development of the antiviral state in the intact HeLa cell. HeLa cells treated with IFN-beta alone or with IFN-beta in combination with bleomycin, vincristine, or mitomycin C were able to induce the double-stranded RNA-dependent adenosine triphosphate:2',5'-oligoadenylic acid adenyltransferase (EC 2.2.2.-) and the double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase. Furthermore, the antiviral state as measured by the reduction of plaque-forming units after infection of treated cells (with IFN-beta alone or with IFN-beta plus drugs) with vesicular stomatitis virus was not affected. These results indicate that, under these experimental conditions, the double-stranded RNA-dependent adenosine triphosphate:2',5'-oligoadenylic acid adenyltransferase and protein kinase can be induced by IFN-beta in cells treated with bleomycin, vincristine, or mitomycin C. These cells also develop the antiviral state. These experiments could provide a basis for a careful examination of the effects of interferon on the development of the antiviral state when testing potentially active antineoplastic agents. The possibility that IFN-beta potentiates the cytotoxic effects of bleomycin and mitomycin C on HeLa cells is also discussed.

RD-114 is a human sarcoma-derived cell line which is chronically infected with the RD-114 retrovirus. In a previous study, we found that treatment of these cells with human interferon-alpha or human interferon-gamma causes a marked inhibition of RD-114 virus production, but that the replication of exogenous vesicular stomatitis or encephalomyocarditis virus is not impaired. In the present study, we report that neither type of interferon has strong inhibitory effects on DNA synthesis or on multiplication of the cells. We also failed to detect a double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activity in extracts of both interferon-treated and untreated cells. However, a low level of 2',5'-oligoadenylate [2,5(A)] synthetase activity was detectable in extracts of interferon-treated cells. 2,5(A)-dependent endonuclease L activity was detectable in extracts of both untreated and interferon-treated cells. This was probably responsible for the inhibition of protein synthesis observed upon introduction of 2,5(A) to RD-114 cells. In many cells, interferon has been found to induce synthesis of several proteins demonstrable by autoradiographic analysis of slab gels on which extracts of interferon-treated and radiolabelled cells are separated. Using a similar method, no such induced protein synthesis was detectable in interferon-treated RD-114 cells. Our results indicate that RD-114 cells are resistant to most known actions of interferons except for the antiretroviral action to which they are as sensitive as any other cell line.

Ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) were fractionated by column chromatography through Fractogel TSK HW-55F and by centrifugation through KCl sucrose. Analyses of fractions for protein content and for protein kinase activity indicated that the major peak of kinase activity did not correspond exactly with any of the VSV-specific proteins. Neither anti-NS nor anti-M IgG preparations inhibited protein kinase activity, and IgG did not act as an exogenous phosphate acceptor. Reconstitution of an RNP-enzyme complex did not result in a restoration of protein kinase activity. In vitro translation of VSV-specific poly(A)-containing RNA did not result in any detectable production of kinase activity. Thus, the major RNP-associated kinase is a host cell protein which is tightly bound to the RNP particle.

Coinfection with vaccinia virus rescues vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) from the inhibitory effects of interferon (IFN) in mouse L cells. While vaccinia infection does not significantly affect VSV RNA synthesis, coinfection with vaccinia dramatically increases VSV protein synthesis in IFN-treated cells. Evidence is provided that vaccinia inhibits the activity of the IFN-induced dsRNA-dependent protein kinase.

We constructed a molecular clone encoding the N-terminal 379 amino acids of the polyomavirus middle-size tumor antigen, followed by the C-terminal 60 amino acids of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein G. This hybrid gene contained the coding region for the C-terminal hydrophobic membrane-spanning domain of the G protein in place of the C-terminal hydrophobic domain of the middle-size tumor antigen. The hybrid gene was expressed in COS-1 cells under the control of the simian virus 40 late promoter. The hybrid protein was located in cell membranes and was associated with a tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity, as was the middle-size tumor antigen. Plasmids encoding the hybrid protein failed to transform mouse NIH 3T3 or rat F2408 cells.

HIV-1 Vpu is a small transmembrane phosphoprotein of 16 kDa which performs critical roles in CD4 proteolysis and virus release. Previous studies have demonstrated that Vpu-induced degradation of CD4 occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and that the proteolytic process is sequence specific requiring both the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of CD4. In the present study, we investigated the effects of Vpu expression on the intracellular membrane trafficking pathway of mammalian cells. In singly transfected cells, the HIV envelope glycoproteins and vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV G) were properly transported to the cell surface undergoing oligosaccharide modifications characteristic of their movement through the Golgi complex. In contrast, the cell surface delivery of glycoproteins was severely impeded in cells expressing Vpu. Biochemical analyses revealed that Vpu expression blocked the transfer of proteins from the ER-Golgi complex to the plasma membrane in a dose- and protein-dependent manner. Soluble gp120 exhibited extreme transport defects in the presence of Vpu, whereas transmembrane proteins (e.g., gp160, VSV) responded only moderately to wild-type Vpu. To gain insight into Vpu-mediated transport inhibition, we performed mutational analysis of the CK-2 phosphorylation sites (serines at 52 and 56) in the Vpu protein. CK-2 phosphorylation of Vpu has been shown to regulate the activity of the protein in reactions that involve the proteolysis of CD4 in the ER. We demonstrate here that the phosphorylation mutant is defective in both sequence-specific degradation of VRE-containing substrates and the transport inhibition of gp120 and VSV-G in the secretory pathway. Thus, these experiments have revealed that Vpu-mediated proteolysis and transport inhibition are mechanistically coupled requiring the same structural elements of the Vpu protein in both processes. We propose that the primary effect of Vpu expression is to impede the secretion process and then access glycoproteins bearing the VRE for Vpu-mediated proteolysis in the ER of mammalian cells.

It was previously shown that the phosphoprotein (P) of vesicular stomatitis virus must undergo phosphorylation-dependent multimerization to become transcriptionally active. Phosphorylation at S-60 and/or T-62 by casein kinase II or substitution of these residues by D is required for multimer formation. We now find that substitution of either one of these residues by A prevents phosphorylation by casein kinase II and multimer formation. The binding of multimeric P to the other two transcriptional components of vesicular stomatitis virus (L protein and the N-RNA template) has been characterized by using P immobilized on beads through its poly(His) tag to facilitate recovery of bound complexes. Multimerization of P was absolutely required for binding to both L and template. Multimeric P combined with the polymerase enzyme (L) in a stoichiometric 1:1 complex, which bound to the N-RNA template much more strongly than multimeric P alone. Substitution of S-227 and S-233 by A residues had no effect on multimerization or binding of L to P but prevented binding of both P and L to template and abolished transcriptional activity. In contrast, substitution of these residues with D residues had no effect on template binding or activity. However, substitution at these sites by either D or A largely abolished phosphorylation by L-associated kinases, thus identifying S-227 and S-233 as the major sites targeted by these kinases and confirming that phosphorylation of P protein by L-associated kinases is without transcriptional effect.
