- W4377011867 abstract "Multiple mechanisms exist in a cell to cope with stress. Four independent stress-sensing kinases constitute the integrated stress response machinery of the mammalian cell, and they sense the stress signals and act by phosphorylating the eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) to arrest cellular translation. Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4 (eIF2AK4) is one of the four kinases and is activated under conditions of amino acid starvation, UV radiation, or RNA virus infection, resulting in shutdown of global translation. An earlier study in our laboratory constructed the protein interaction network of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) and identified eIF2AK4 as a host interaction partner of the genotype 1 (g1) HEV protease (PCP). Here, we report that PCP's association with the eIF2AK4 results in inhibition of self-association and concomitant loss of kinase activity of eIF2AK4. Site-directed mutagenesis of the 53rd phenylalanine residue of PCP abolishes its interaction with the eIF2AK4. Further, a genetically engineered HEV-expressing F53A mutant PCP shows poor replication efficiency. Collectively, these data identify an additional property of the g1-HEV PCP protein, through which it helps the virus in antagonizing eIF2AK4-mediated phosphorylation of the eIF2α, thus contributing to uninterrupted synthesis of viral proteins in the infected cells. IMPORTANCE Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute viral hepatitis in humans. It causes chronic infection in organ transplant patients. Although the disease is self-limiting in normal individuals, it is associated with high mortality (~30%) in pregnant women. In an earlier study, we identified the interaction between the genotype 1 HEV protease (PCP) and cellular eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4 (eIF2AK4). Since eIF2AK4 is a sensor of the cellular integrated stress response machinery, we evaluated the significance of the interaction between PCP and eIF2AK4. Here, we show that PCP competitively associates with and interferes with self-association of the eIF2AK4, thereby inhibiting its kinase activity. Lack of eIF2AK4 activity prevents phosphorylation-mediated inactivation of the cellular eIF2α, which is essential for initiation of cap-dependent translation. Thus, PCP behaves as a proviral factor, promoting uninterrupted synthesis of viral proteins in infected cells, which is crucial for survival and proliferation of the virus." @default.
