Ouabain, which inhibits specifically membrane-bound ATPase activity, also inhibits the establishment of the antiviral state induced by interferon. Once the antiviral state is established, ouabain is ineffective. This inhibitory effect is reversed by adding Na/K ions to the cells. On the contrary, interferon production is unaffected by the same concentrations of ouabain. It is of interest that in such interferon-yielding cells, ouabain decreases the antiviral state.

Exogenous interferon may affect SV40 T-antigen expression, depending on the chromosomal complement, time of treatment, and biological factors in human cells. However, no evidence was found for endogenous interferon response to SV40 infection in the regulation of T-antigen expression.

Dynamin was initially identified in calf brain tissue as a protein of relative molecular mass 100,000 which induced nucleotide-sensitive bundling of microtubules. Purified dynamin showed only trace ATPase activity. But in combination with an activating factor removed during the purification, it exhibited microtubule-activated ATPase activity and dynamin-induced bundles showed evidence of ATP-dependent force production. Dynamin is the product of the Drosophila gene shibire, which has been implicated in synaptic vesicle recycling and, more generally, in the budding of endocytic vesicles from the plasma membrane. Dynamin also shows extensive homology with proteins that participate in vacuolar protein sorting and spindle pole-body separation in yeast, and in interferon-induced viral resistance in mammals. All members of this family contain consensus sequence elements consistent with GTP binding near their amino termini, although none has been shown to have GTPase activity. We report here that dynamin is a specific GTPase which can be stimulated to very high levels of activity by microtubules.

The effect of interferon treatment on interaction of Shigella flexneri with in vitro cultured cells was investigated. Pretreatment of HEp-2 cells with human interferons had no effect on the susceptibility of cells to S. flexneri, measured by invasiveness and adhesiveness. Human leukocyte interferon and human recombinant interferon-alpha-A reduced adhesiveness, intracellular multiplication and invasiveness of S. flexneri in HEp-2 cells preinfected with coxsackie B1 virus. Also non-receptor mediated-phagocytosis was reduced by interferon treatment in virus infected cells. The interferon effects were dependent on continuous protein synthesis, because they were not expressed when cycloheximide or abrin was added to the virus infected cell cultures. No effect of interferon was detected on intracellular content of Na+ or K+, Na(+)-K+ activated ATPase activity or cytoplasma membrane polarity, in virus infected or control cell cultures. The interferon effect on bacterial invasiveness seems to be dependent on an interferon receptor interaction on cytoplasma membrane level because directly microinjected interferon showed no effect.

Binding of interferons (IFNs) to their cell surface receptors stimulates rapid translocation of cytoplasmic proteins to the nucleus and the expression of a variety of cellular genes within minutes. Translocated proteins subsequently bind to the interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) located in the promoters of all IFN-activated cellular genes. We report here that ouabain, a specific inhibitor of the Na/K ATPase, selectively inhibited transcription of several IFN-alpha-induced cellular RNAs under conditions in which some other well-described signal transduction pathways remained intact. The latter included induction of human metallothionein 2A (HMT2A) by phorbol ester and induction of IP-10 RNA by IFN-gamma. Ouabain itself induced RNA of the protooncogene c-fos which conversely was inhibited by IFN-alpha. Specificity of the ouabain effects on IFN alpha-induced RNAs with respect to a direct action on the Na/K ATPase was shown with a transfected monkey CV-1 cell line which expresses the ouabain-insensitive rat alpha 1 subunit. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) using nuclear extracts from ouabain-treated cells demonstrated that ouabain decreased IFN alpha-induced binding of the ISGF3 complex to the ISRE. Reconstitution experiments showed that this effect of ouabain is not due to the inhibition of IFN alpha activation of the ISGF3 alpha subcomponent, which occurs in the cytoplasm, but a selective depletion of the ISGF3 gamma factor which in concert with activated ISGF3 alpha induces interferon-stimulated gene (54 kDa) transcription. These findings imply that intracellular ion balance can selectively regulate the half-life of the ISGF3 gamma protein or the ability of this protein to complex with ISGF3 alpha to activate IFN alpha-regulated cellular genes.

A complementary DNA encoding the D100 polypeptide of rat brain dynamin--a force-producing, microtubule-activated nucleotide triphosphatase--has been cloned and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence includes a guanine nucleotide-binding domain that is homologous with those of a family of antiviral factors, inducible by interferon and known as Mx proteins, and with the product of the essential yeast vacuolar protein sorting gene VPS1. These relationships imply the existence of a new family of GTPases with physiological roles that may include microtubule-based motility and protein sorting.

The anti-proliferative effect of interferons (IFNs) was investigated, focusing on the physiological activities of membrane-associated proteins involved in the progress of cell proliferation. In preliminary screening of the inhibitory effect of IFNs against the cell growth of various human hematopoietic tumor cells, Daudi cell was the most sensitive to rIFN-alpha 2a. SDS-PAGE followed by autoradiography detected that treatment of Daudi cells with rIFN-alpha 2a significantly reduced phosphorylation of the membrane-associated Mr 98,000 and 70,000 polypeptides. To determine the physiological significance of these phosphorylating polypeptides in mediation of the IFN effects, they were purified from Daudi cells. It was found that the molecular weight of the purified polypeptides was approximately 330,000 and it (designated 330-kDa protein) was consist of two distinct subunits [alpha-subunit (Mr 98,000) and beta-subunit (Mr 70,000)]. The biochemical properties, such as subunit structure, subunit phosphorylation, requirements for phosphorylating activity and protease sensitivity of the 330-kDa protein were similar to those reported for Na+, K(+)-ATPase. Evidence provided here suggests that the anti-proliferative action of IFNs may, at least in part, be implicated in the IFN-induced physiological impairment of the membrane-associated 330-kDa protein.

In this study we have examined if resistance of vaccinia virus to interferon (IFN) correlates with virus-induced alterations of the 2-5A system. We have shown that in various IFN-treated vaccinia virus infected cells of mouse, monkey and human origins, the intracellular levels of 2-5A are low early in infection but exhibit a sharp rise late in infection. In spite of the presence of 2-5A, activation of the 2-5A dependent RNase, as measured by the rRNA cleavage assay, does not occur or is delayed in the course of virus infection. However, when cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis is added at the time of virus infection, extensive cleavage or rRNA is observed in IFN-treated, infected cells. If cycloheximide is added at various times after virus infection, rRNA cleavage is gradually prevented and a virus-induced inhibitor of the 2-5A system can be detected between 1-2 hr post infection. A function encoded by a ts 22 mutant of vaccinia virus blocked rRNA cleavage. Restriction of rRNA cleavage during virus infection correlated with dephosphorylation of 2-5A. Our findings suggest that modulation of the 2-5A system by vaccinia virus involves the production of an activator and simultaneous synthesis of an inhibitor(s). Viral ds-RNA is likely to be the activator while a function encoded by ts 22 mutant is involved in inhibition of the 2-5A system. Other viral functions (ATPase and phosphatase) may also be involved in modifications of the 2-5A system by regulating 2-5A levels and altering the integrity of 2-5A. Modifications of the 2-5A system, during vaccinia virus infection might contribute to the resistance of this cytoplasmic DNA virus to IFN.

Treatment of African green monkey kidney CV-1 cells with human alpha interferons before infection with simian virus 40 (SV40) inhibited the accumulation of SV40 mRNAs and SV40 T-antigen (Tag). This inhibition persisted as long as the interferons were present in the medium. SV40-transformed human SV80 cells and mouse SV3T3-38 cells express Tag, and interferon treatment of these cells did not affect this expression. SV80 and SV3T3-38 cells which had been exposed to interferons were infected with a viable SV40 deletion mutant (SV40 dl1263) that codes for a truncated Tag. Exposure to interferons inhibited the accumulation of the truncated Tag (specified by the infecting virus) but had no significant effect on the accumulation of the endogenous Tag (specified by the SV40 DNA integrated into the cellular genome). The level of Tag in SV40-transformed mouse SV101 cells was not significantly decreased by interferon treatment. SV40 was rescued from SV101 cells and used to infect interferon-treated and control African green monkey kidney Vero cells. Tag accumulation was inhibited in the cells which had been treated with interferons before infection. Our data demonstrate that even within the same cell the interferon system can discriminate between expression of a gene in the SV40 viral genome and expression of the same gene integrated into a host chromosome.

The Friend murine erythroleukemia cell system and the Daudi Burkitt's lymphoma cell system were used to study the effect of growth-inhibitory concentrations of interferon on membrane functions. Experiments with Friend-cell clones sensitive and resistant to interferon indicated that a number of changes in membrane transport occur rapidly after the addition of interferon to sensitive cells. While no change was observed in the activity of the (Na+/K+) ATPase in Friend cells sensitive or resistant to interferon, a piretanide-inhibitable Na+,K+, 2Cl- co-transport system was specifically inhibited after interferon treatment of sensitive cells. In contrast, treatment of Daudi cells with purified molecularly cloned or standard preparations of human leukocyte interferon gave rise to no early changes in the transport of amino acids, 32Pi, sugars, or 86Rb+. The major change observed in Daudi cells was a marked reduction in the uptake and incorporation of thymidine, which begins to decrease after 8-10 h of exposure to interferon.
