The measles virus (MV) phosphoprotein (P) and V proteins block the interferon (IFN) response by impeding phosphorylation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) by the Janus kinase 1 (JAK1). We characterized how STAT1 mutants interact with P and JAK1 phosphorylation. Certain mutants of the linker, the Src-homology 2 domain (SH2), or the transactivation domain had reduced or abolished phosphorylation through JAK1 after IFN treatment. Other mutants, mainly localized in the linker, failed to interact with P as documented by the lack of interference with nuclear translocation. Thus the functional footprint of P on STAT1 localizes mainly to the linker domain; there is also some overlap with the STAT1 phosphorylation functional footprint on the SH2 domain. Based on these observations, we discuss how the MV-P might operate to inhibit the JAK/STAT pathway.
麻疹病毒(MV)的磷蛋白(P)和 V 蛋白通过阻碍 Janus 激酶 1(JAK1)对信号转导和转录激活子 1(STAT1)的磷酸化来阻断干扰素(IFN)反应。我们研究了 STAT1 突变体与 P 和 JAK1 磷酸化的相互作用方式。连接子、Src 同源性 2 结构域(SH2)或反式激活结构域的某些突变体在 IFN 处理后通过 JAK1 的磷酸化减少或丧失。其他突变体主要定位于连接子,缺乏与 P 的相互作用,这可通过缺乏核易位的干扰来证明。因此,P 对 STAT1 的功能足迹主要定位于连接子结构域;在 SH2 结构域上,STAT1 磷酸化的功能足迹也有一些重叠。基于这些观察结果,我们讨论了 MV-P 如何抑制 JAK/STAT 途径。
