Human cytomegalovirus-infected fibroblasts are resistant to the induction of apoptosis by superinfection with a mutant adenovirus unable to produce the viral E1B 19-kDa protein that normally causes an E1A protein-mediated apoptotic response. Two cytomegalovirus gene products that block apoptosis were identified. The IE1 and IE2 proteins each inhibit the induction of apoptosis by tumor necrosis factor alpha or by the E1B 19-kDa-protein-deficient adenovirus but not by irradiation with UV light. Our results suggest a new physiological role for the IE1 and IE2 proteins in the human cytomegalovirus replication cycle.
人巨细胞病毒感染的成纤维细胞对一种突变腺病毒的超感染诱导凋亡具有抗性,该突变腺病毒无法产生通常会引起E1A蛋白介导的凋亡反应的病毒E1B 19-kDa蛋白。鉴定出了两种阻止凋亡的巨细胞病毒基因产物。IE1和IE2蛋白各自抑制肿瘤坏死因子α或E1B 19-kDa蛋白缺陷型腺病毒诱导的凋亡,但不抑制紫外线照射诱导的凋亡。我们的结果提示了IE1和IE2蛋白在人巨细胞病毒复制周期中的一种新的生理作用。
