Abstract

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) has been determined to play a crucial role in the replication and transcription of HBV, and its biological functions mainly depend on the interaction with other host proteins. This study aims at screening the proteins that bind to the key functional domain of HBx by integrated proteomics. Proteins that specifically bind to the transactivation domain of HBx were selected by comparing interactors of full-length HBx and HBx-D5 truncation determined by glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down assay combined with mass spectrometry (MS). The function of HBx interactor Pin1 in HBV replication was further investigated by in vitro experiments. In this study, a total of 189 proteins were identified from HepG2 cells that specifically bind to the transactivation domain of HBx by GST pull-down and subsequent MS. After gene ontology (GO) analysis, Pin1 was selected as the protein with the highest score in the largest cluster functioning in protein binding, and also classified into the cluster of proteins with the function of structural molecule activity, which is of great potential to be involved in HBV life cycle. The interaction between Pin1 and HBx has been further confirmed by Ni-NTA pulldown assay, co-immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence microscopy. HBsAg and HBeAg levels significantly decreased in Pin1 expression inhibited HepG2.2.15 cells. Besides, the inhibition of Pin1 expression in HepG2 cells impeded the restored replication of HBx-deficient HBV repaired by ectopic HBx expression. In conclusion, our study identified Pin1 as an interactor binds to the transactivation domain of HBx, and suggested the potential association between Pin1 and the function of HBx in HBV replication.

摘要

乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)X 蛋白(HBx)已被确定在 HBV 的复制和转录中发挥关键作用,其生物学功能主要依赖于与其他宿主蛋白的相互作用。本研究旨在通过整合蛋白质组学筛选与 HBx 关键功能域结合的蛋白质。通过谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶(GST)下拉测定与质谱(MS)相结合,比较全长 HBx 和 HBx-D5 截断的相互作用体,筛选出特异性结合 HBx 反式激活结构域的蛋白质。通过体外实验进一步研究了 HBx 相互作用蛋白 Pin1 在 HBV 复制中的功能。本研究通过 GST 下拉和随后的 MS,从 HepG2 细胞中鉴定出 189 种特异性结合 HBx 反式激活结构域的蛋白质。经过基因本体论(GO)分析,Pin1 被选为在蛋白质结合功能最大簇中得分最高的蛋白质,并且也被归类为具有结构分子活性功能的蛋白质簇,这极有可能参与 HBV 的生命周期。通过 Ni-NTA 下拉测定、共免疫沉淀和免疫荧光显微镜进一步证实了 Pin1 与 HBx 之间的相互作用。Pin1 表达抑制的 HepG2.2.15 细胞中 HBsAg 和 HBeAg 水平显著降低。此外,在 HepG2 细胞中抑制 Pin1 表达阻碍了由异位 HBx 表达修复的 HBx 缺失 HBV 的复制恢复。总之,本研究鉴定出 Pin1 作为与 HBx 反式激活结构域结合的相互作用蛋白,并提示了 Pin1 与 HBx 在 HBV 复制中的功能之间的潜在关联。
