Far-upstream element-binding protein 2 (FBP2) is an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) trans-acting factor (ITAF) that negatively regulates enterovirus 71 (EV71) translation. This study shows that EV71 infection cleaved FBP2. Live EV71 and the EV71 replicon (but not UV-inactivated virus particles) induced FBP2 cleavage, suggesting that viral replication results in FBP2 cleavage. The results also showed that virus-induced proteasome, autophagy, and caspase activity co-contribute to EV71-induced FBP2 cleavage. Using FLAG-fused FBP2, we mapped the potential cleavage fragments of FBP2 in infected cells. We also found that FBP2 altered its function when its carboxyl terminus was cleaved. This study presents a mechanism for virus-induced cellular events to cleave a negative regulator for viral IRES-driven translation.
远上游元件结合蛋白 2(FBP2)是一种内部核糖体进入位点(IRES)反式作用因子(ITAF),可负调控肠道病毒 71(EV71)翻译。本研究表明,EV71 感染可裂解 FBP2。活 EV71 和 EV71 复制子(而非 UV 失活的病毒颗粒)诱导 FBP2 裂解,提示病毒复制导致 FBP2 裂解。结果还表明,病毒诱导的蛋白酶体、自噬和半胱天冬酶活性共同促成 EV71 诱导的 FBP2 裂解。利用 FLAG 融合的 FBP2,我们在感染细胞中定位了 FBP2 的潜在裂解片段。我们还发现 FBP2 的羧基末端被切割后改变了其功能。本研究提出了一种机制,即病毒诱导的细胞事件可切割病毒 IRES 驱动翻译的负调控因子。
