The 206-kDa protein of turnip yellow mosaic virus belongs to an expanding group of proteins containing a domain which includes the consensus nucleotide binding site GxxxxGKS/T. A portion of this protein (amino acids [aa] 916 to 1259) was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by affinity chromatography to near homogeneity. In the absence of any other viral factors, it exhibited ATPase and GTPase activities in vitro. A mutant protein with a single amino acid substitution in the consensus nucleotide binding site (Lys-982 to Ser) exhibited only low levels of both activities, implying that Lys-982 is important for nucleoside triphosphatase activity. The protein also possessed nonspecific RNA binding capacity. Deletion mutants revealed that an N-terminal domain (aa 916 to 1061) and a C-terminal domain (aa 1182 to 1259) participate in RNA binding. The results presented here provide the first experimental evidence that turnip yellow mosaic virus encodes nucleoside triphosphatase and RNA binding activities.

Autotaxin (ATX) is an extracellular enzyme and an autocrine motility factor that stimulates pertussis toxin-sensitive chemotaxis in human melanoma cells at picomolar to nanomolar concentrations. This 125-kDa glycoprotein contains a peptide sequence identified as the catalytic site in type I alkaline phosphodiesterases (PDEs), and it possesses 5'-nucleotide PDE (EC 3.1.4.1) activity (Stracke, M. L., Krutzsch, H. C., Unsworth, E. J., Arestad, A., Cioce, V., Schiffmann, E., and Liotta, L. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 2524-2529; Murata, J., Lee, H. Y., Clair, T., Krutsch, H. C., Arestad, A. A., Sobel, M. E., Liotta, L. A., and Stracke, M. L. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 30479-30484). ATX binds ATP and is phosphorylated only on threonine. Thr210 at the PDE active site of ATX is required for phosphorylation, 5'-nucleotide PDE, and motility-stimulating activities (Lee, H. Y., Clair, T., Mulvaney, P. T., Woodhouse, E. C., Aznavoorian, S., Liotta, L. A., and Stracke, M. L. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 24408-24412). In this article we report that the phosphorylation of ATX is a transient event, being stable at 0 degrees C but unstable at 37 degrees C, and that ATX has adenosine-5'-triphosphatase (ATPase; EC 3.6.1.3) and ATP pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.8) activities. Thus ATX catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond on either side of the beta-phosphate of ATP. ATX also catalyzes the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP and GMP, of either AMP or PPi to Pi, and the hydrolysis of NAD to AMP, and each of these substrates can serve as a phosphate donor in the phosphorylation of ATX. ATX possesses no detectable protein kinase activity toward histone, myelin basic protein, or casein. These results lead to the proposal that ATX is capable of at least two alternative reaction mechanisms, threonine (T-type) ATPase and 5'-nucleotide PDE/ATP pyrophosphatase, with a common site (Thr210) for the formation of covalently bound reaction intermediates threonine phosphate and threonine adenylate, respectively.

The UL5, UL8, and UL52 genes of herpes simplex virus type 1 encode a multisubunit assembly that possesses primase, DNA helicase, and DNA-dependent nucleoside triphosphatase activities. A subassembly consisting of the UL5 and UL52 gene products retains these activities. The nucleoside triphosphatase activity of the UL5/UL52 subassembly is strongly stimulated by both homo- and heteropolymeric single-stranded DNA. Double-stranded DNA has little ability to stimulate the ATPase activity. The subassembly binds both double and single-stranded DNA. Nucleotides are not required for DNA-binding. The minimum length of single-stranded DNA that is bound and that stimulates enzymatic activity is about 12 nucleotides. The kinetic parameters of the ATPase activity of the subassembly are affected by the length of the oligonucleotide coeffector. The Km decreases as the coeffector length is increased up to a length of about 20 nucleotides and then remains independent of coeffector length. The first order rate constant for ATPase activity exhibits a quasihyperbolic dependence on the length of the DNA coeffector and is maximal for coeffectors of 20 nucleotides and longer.

A previously identified nucleoside triphosphatase activity in mammalian reovirus cores was further characterized by comparing two reovirus strains whose cores differ in their efficiencies of ATP hydrolysis. In assays using a panel of reassortant viruses derived from these strains, the difference in ATPase activity at standard conditions was genetically associated with viral genome segment L3, encoding protein lambda1, a major constituent of the core shell that possesses sequence motifs characteristic of other ATPases. The ATPase activity of cores was affected by several other reaction components, including temperature, pH, nature and concentration of monovalent and divalent cations, and nature and concentration of anions. A strain difference in the response of core ATPase activity to monovalent acetate salts was also mapped to L3/lambda1 by using reassortant viruses. Experiments with different nucleoside triphosphates demonstrated that ATP is the preferred ribonucleotide substrate for cores of both strains. Other experiments suggested that the ATPase is latent in reovirus virions and infectious subviral particles but undergoes activation during production of cores in close association with the protease-mediated degradation of outer-capsid protein mu1 and its cleavage products, suggesting that mu1 may play a role in regulating the ATPase.

The NS3 protein of hepatitis C virus contains a bipartite structure consisting of an N-terminal serine protease and a C-terminal DEAD box helicase. We show that the C-terminal domain has ATPase and panhelicase activities. The integrity of the helicase function is dependent on the conserved DEAD motif and can be abolished by a His-Ala point mutation, leaving a fully functional nucleoside triphosphatase.

The N-terminal 60 kDa (amino acids 1 to 545) of the D1 subunit of vaccinia virus mRNA capping enzyme is an autonomous bifunctional domain with triphosphatase and guanylyltransferase activities. We previously described two alanine cluster mutations, R77 to A (R77A)-K79A and E192A-E194A, which selectively inactivated the triphosphatase component. Here, we characterize the activities of 11 single alanine mutants-E37A, E39A, Q60A, E61A, T67A, T69A, K75A, R77A, K79A, E192A, and E194A-and a quadruple mutant in which four residues (R77, K79, E192, and E194) were replaced by alanine. We report that Glu-37, Glu-39, Arg-77, Glu-192, and Glu-194 are essential for gamma-phosphate cleavage. The five essential residues are conserved in the capping enzymes of Shope fibroma virus, molluscum contagiosum virus, and African swine fever virus. Probing the structure of D1(1-545) by limited V8 proteolysis suggested a bipartite subdomain structure. The essential residue Glu-192 is the principal site of V8 cleavage. Secondary cleavage by V8 occurs at the essential residue Glu-39. The triphosphatase-defective quadruple mutant transferred GMP to the triphosphate end of poly(A) to form a tetraphosphate cap structure, GppppA. We report that GppppA-capped RNA is a poor substrate for cap methylation by the vaccinia virus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNA (guanine-7) methyltransferases. The transcription termination factor activity of the D1-D12 capping enzyme heterodimer was not affected by mutations that abrogated ATPase activity. Thus, the capping enzyme is not responsible for the requirement for ATP hydrolysis during transcription termination.

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural 3 protein (NS3) contains at least two domains associated with multiple enzymatic activities; a serine protease activity resides in the N-terminal one-third of the protein, whereas RNA helicase activity and RNA-stimulated nucleoside triphosphatase activity are associated with the C-terminal portion. To study the possible mutual influence of these enzymatic activities, a full-length NS3 polypeptide of 67 kDa was expressed as a nonfusion protein in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity, and shown to retain all three enzymatic activities. The protease activity of the full-length NS3 was strongly dependent on the activation by a synthetic peptide spanning the central hydrophobic core of the NS4A cofactor. Once complexed with the NS4A-derived peptide, the full-length NS3 protein and the isolated N-terminal protease domain cleaved synthetic peptide substrates with comparable efficiency. We show that, as in the case of the isolated protease domain, the protease activity of full-length NS3 undergoes inhibition by the N-terminal cleavage products of substrate peptides corresponding to the NS4A-NS4B and NS5A-NS5B. We have also characterized and quantified the NS3 ATPase, RNA helicase, and RNA-binding activities under optimized reaction conditions. Compared with the isolated N-terminal and C-terminal domains, recombinant full-length NS3 did not show significant differences in the three enzymatic activities analyzed in independent in vitro assays. We have further explored the possible interdependence of the NS3 N-terminal and C-terminal domains by analyzing the effect of polynucleotides on the modulation of all NS3 enzymatic functions. Our results demonstrated that the observed inhibition of the NS3 proteolytic activity by single-stranded RNA is mediated by direct interaction with the protease domain rather than with the helicase RNA-binding domain.

Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) encodes a 168-amino-acid polypeptide that contains the signature motif of the superfamily of protein phosphatases that act via a covalent cysteinyl phosphate intermediate. The sequence of the AcNPV phosphatase is similar to that of the RNA triphosphatase domain of the metazoan cellular mRNA capping enzyme. Here, we show that the purified recombinant AcNPV protein is an RNA 5'-triphosphatase that hydrolyzes the gamma-phosphate of triphosphate-terminated poly(A); it also hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and GTP to GDP. The phosphatase sediments as two discrete components in a glycerol gradient: a 9.5S oligomer and 2.5S putative monomer. The 2.5S form of the enzyme releases 32Pi from 1 microM gamma-32P-labeled triphosphate-terminated poly(A) with a turnover number of 52 min-1 and converts ATP to ADP with Vmax of 8 min-1 and Km of 25 microM ATP. The 9.5S oligomeric form of the enzyme displays an initial pre-steady-state burst of ADP and Pi formation, which is proportional to and stoichiometric with the enzyme, followed by a slower steady-state rate of product formation (approximately 1/10 of the steady-state rate of the 2.5S enzyme). We surmise that the oligomeric enzyme is subject to a rate-limiting step other than reaction chemistry and that this step is either distinct from or slower than the rate-limiting step for the 2.5S enzyme. Replacing the presumptive active site nucleophile Cys-119 by alanine abrogates RNA triphosphatase and ATPase activity. Our findings raise the possibility that baculoviruses encode enzymes that cap the 5' ends of viral transcripts synthesized at late times postinfection by a virus-encoded RNA polymerase.

The baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus encodes a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is required for transcription of viral late genes. This polymerase is composed of four equimolar subunits, LEF-8, LEF-4, LEF-9, and p47. The LEF-4 subunit has guanylyltransferase activity, suggesting that baculoviruses may encode a full complement of capping enzymes. Here we show that LEF-4 is a bifunctional enzyme that hydrolyzes the gamma phosphates of triphosphate-terminated RNA and also hydrolyzes ATP and GTP to the respective diphosphate forms. Alanine substitution of five residues previously shown to be essential for vaccinia virus RNA triphosphatase activity inactivated the triphosphatase component of LEF-4 but not the guanylyltransferase domain. Conversely, mutation of the invariant lysine in the guanylyltransferase domain abolished the guanylyltransferase activity without affecting triphosphatase function. We also investigated the effects of substituting phenylalanine for leucine at position 105, a mutation that results in a virus that is temperature sensitive for late gene expression. We found that this mutation had no significant effect on the ATPase or guanylyltransferase activity of LEF-4 but resulted in a modest decrease in RNA triphosphatase activity.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cet1p catalyzes the first step of mRNA capping, the hydrolysis of the gamma phosphate of triphosphate-terminated RNA to form a 5' diphosphate end. The RNA triphosphatase activity of Cet1p is magnesium-dependent and has a turnover number of 1 s-1. Here we show that purified recombinant Cet1p possesses a robust ATPase activity (Km = 2.8 microM; Vmax = 25 s-1) in the presence of manganese. Cobalt is also an effective cofactor, but magnesium, calcium, copper, and zinc are not. Cet1p displays broad specificity in converting ribonucleoside triphosphates and deoxynucleoside triphosphates to their respective diphosphates. The manganese- and cobalt-dependent nucleoside triphosphatase of Cet1p resembles the nucleoside triphosphatase activities of the baculovirus LEF-4 and vaccinia virus D1 capping enzymes. Cet1p, LEF-4, and D1 share three collinear sequence motifs. Mutational analysis establishes that conserved glutamate and arginine side chains within these motifs are essential for the RNA triphosphatase and ATPase activities of Cet1p in vitro and for Cet1p function in vivo. These findings are in accord with the effects of single alanine mutations at analogous positions of vaccinia capping enzyme. We suggest that the metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases encoded by yeast and DNA viruses comprise a novel family of phosphohydrolase enzymes with a common active site.
