We investigated the effects of the protein phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and microcystin-LR upon transport of newly synthesized proteins through the exocytic pathway. Treatment of CHO cells with 1 microM okadaic acid rapidly inhibited movement of a marker protein (vesicular stomatitis virus G protein) from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi compartment. Both okadaic acid and microcystin-LR also inhibited transport in an in vitro assay reconstituting movement to the Golgi compartment, at concentrations equivalent to those required to inhibit phosphorylase phosphatase activity. Inhibition both in vivo and in vitro could be antagonized by protein kinase inhibitors, suggesting that protein phosphorylation was directly responsible for this effect. An early stage in the transport reaction associated with vesicle formation or targeting was inhibited by protein phosphorylation, which could be reversed by fractions enriched in protein phosphatase 2A. Protein kinase antagonists did not inhibit transport between sequential compartments of the exocytic pathway in vitro, suggesting that protein phosphorylation is not itself required for vesicular transport. During mitosis, vesicular transport is inhibited simultaneous to the activation of maturation-promoting factor. It is proposed that the inhibition caused by okadaic acid and microcystin-LR involves a similar mechanism to that responsible for the mitotic arrest of vesicular transport.

Protein kinase activities associated with a highly purified transcriptionally active ribonucleoprotein complex from the virions of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) were isolated and characterized. Based upon several biochemical and immunological criteria, the protein kinase activity, which phosphorylated the bacterially expressed unphosphorylated (Po) protein, was shown to be cellular casein kinase II (CKII). These studies included inhibition of the protein kinase by specific inhibitors, phosphorylation of mutant phosphoproteins (P), immunoprecipitation by CKII antibody and Western blot analyses, and finally its ability to activate Po to synthesize RNA in a transcription-reconstitution reaction. The P protein is phosphorylated intracellularly by cellular CKII. The present study demonstrates that VSV specifically packages CKII which remains strongly associated with the ribonucleoprotein complex during morphogenesis.

Proteasome activity is an important part of viral replication. In this study, we examined the effect of proteasome inhibitors on the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and poliovirus. We found that the proteasome inhibitors significantly suppressed VSV protein synthesis, virus accumulation, and protected infected cells from toxic effect of VSV replication. In contrast, poliovirus replication was delayed, but not diminished in the presence of the proteasome inhibitors MG132 and Bortezomib. We also found that inhibition of proteasomes stimulated stress-related processes, such as accumulation of chaperone hsp70, phosphorylation of eIF2alpha, and overall inhibition of translation. VSV replication was sensitive to this stress with significant decline in replication process. Poliovirus growth was less sensitive with only delay in replication. Inhibition of proteasome activity suppressed cellular and VSV protein synthesis, but did not reduce poliovirus protein synthesis. Protein kinase GCN2 supported the ability of proteasome inhibitors to attenuate general translation and to suppress VSV replication. We propose that different mechanisms of translational initiation by VSV and poliovirus determine their sensitivity to stress induced by the inhibition of proteasomes. To our knowledge, this is the first study that connects the effect of stress induced by proteasome inhibition with the efficiency of viral infection.
