Knock-out of the nuclear localization in pp65 protein of Cytomegalovirus: biologic and immunologic effects

ABSTRACT: The CMVpp65 protein contains 2 bipartite nuclear localization signals (NLS) at 415-438aa and 537-561aa near the carboxy terminus of CMVpp65 and a phosphate binding site related to kinase activity at lysine-436. A mutation of pp65 having K436N (CMVpp65mII) and further deletion of aa537-561 resulted in a novel protein (pp65mIINLSKO) that is kinase-less and has markedly reduced nuclear localization. The purpose of this report was to study the biologic characterization of this protein and its immunogenicity compared to native pp65.Using RNA microarray analysis, expression of the CMVpp65mIINLSKO had less effect on cell cycle pathways than did the native CMVpp65 and a greater effect on cell surface signalling pathways involving immune activity. It is concluded that the removal of the primary NLS motif from pp65 does not impair its immunogenicity and may actually be advantageous in the design of a vaccine. Keywords: comparison of cellular response to wild-type gene expression vs a mutated gene. The MRC-5 cells were transduced in triplicate, with rAAVintA, rAAVpp65N, rAAVpp65NLSKO for 48hrs and the total RNA was purified with RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. One µg of each sample was processed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Whole Transcript Sense Target Labeling Assay. After ribosomal RNA reduction (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) to remove most of the 18S and 28S rRNAs, the GeneChip WT (whole transcript) cDNA Synthesis Kit, WT cDNA Amplification Kit, and WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA) were used for target preparation. Ten µg of cRNA (antisense RNA) were added to the second-cycle cDNA reaction followed by fragmentation and Terminal Labeling process. The hybridization cocktails containing 2.5 ug of the fragmented, end-labeled cDNA were applied to the GeneChip® Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays. The Genechip® Human Gene 1.0 ST array was chosen because it offers the whole transcript coverage consisting of 28,869 genes on the array by approximately 26 probes spread across the full length of the gene.

The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 protein contains two bipartite nuclear localization signals (NLSs) at amino acids (aa) 415 to 438 and aa 537 to 561 near the carboxy terminus of CMV pp65 and a phosphate binding site related to kinase activity at lysine-436. A mutation of pp65 with K436N (CMV pp65mII) and further deletion of aa 537 to 561 resulted in a novel protein (pp65mIINLSKO, where NLSKO indicate NLS knockout) that is kinaseless and that has markedly reduced nuclear localization.

Project description:Experiment design Type of experiment: Gene expression profiling analysis of S.cerevisiae W303-1a. Experimental factor: genetic variation (WT, gpr1 and gpa2 mutant strains). Number of hybridizations: 6. Single-colour labeling was performed for each sample. Sample preparation: Total RNA was prepared using FastRNA Pro Red Kit (BIO 101 Systems) according to the manufacturers' instructions. Labeling protocol 10 µg of total RNA was reverse transcribed using the SuperScript Choice system for cDNA synthesis (Life Technologies) according to the protocol recommended by Affymetrix. The oligonucleotide used for priming was 5’-ggccagtgaattgtaatacgactcactatagggaggcgg-(t)24-3’ (Genset Oligo). Double-stranded cDNA was cleaned by phenol:chloroform extraction and the aqueous phase removed by centrifugation through Phase-lock Gel (Eppendorf). In vitro transcription was performed on 1 µg of cDNA using the Enzo BioArray High Yield RNA transcript labelling kit (Enzo Diagnostics). The cRNA was cleaned using RNAeasy clean-up columns (Qiagen). The cRNA was fragmented by heating in 40 mM Tris-acetate pH 8.1, 100 mM KOAc, 30 mM MgOAc. Hybridization protocol 10 µg of fragmented cRNA were hybridised (45°C, 16 hours). Hybridization was controled by use of the GeneChip™ Eukaryotic Hybridization Control Kit (Affymetrix). Washing and staining was performed in a Fluidics Station 400 (Affymetrix) using the protocol EukGE-WS2v4. Measurement data, specifications and data processing Scanning was performed in an Affymetrix GeneChip scanner. Chip analysis was performed using the Affymetrix Microarray Suite v5. Changes in gene expression were assessed by looking for concordant changes between all replicates using a signed Wilcoxon rank test. The “change” p-value threshold was < 0.025 for increase and > 0.975 for decrease. Array design Microarray analysis was performed using YGS98 GeneChips™ oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix #900256) representing approximately 6000 ORFs.

Project description:Experiment on the effects of ethanol (acute oral) on induction of genes by polyinosinic polycytidylic acid (poly IC). Microarray methodology follows: cDNA for each sample was synthesized from 8.5 µg total RNA using a Superscript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in combination with a T7-(dT)24 primer. Following phenol-chloroform extraction of the cDNA, biotinylated cRNA was transcribed in vitro using the BioArray HighYield RNA Transcript Labeling Kit (ENZO Biochem, New York, NY) and purified using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Twenty micrograms of purified cRNA was fragmented by incubation in fragmentation buffer (200 mM Tris-acetate, pH 8.1, 500 mM potassium acetate, 150 mM magnesium acetate) at 94°C for 35 minutes and chilled on ice. Fifteen micrograms of fragmented biotin-labeled cRNA was hybridized to the Murine Genome U74Av2 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), interrogating a total of 12,488 murine gene cDNA probes, for 16 hr at 45°C with constant rotation (60 rpm). The arrays were washed and then stained for 10 min at 25°C with 10 µg/mL streptavidin-R phycoerythrin (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) followed by 3 µg/mL biotinylated goat anti-streptavidin antibody (Vector Laboratories) for 10 minutes at 25°C. Arrays were then stained once again with streptavidin-R phycoerythrin for 10 min at 25°C. After washing and staining, the arrays were scanned using an Agilent GeneArray Scanner (Agilent Technologies) at 570 nm. Pixel intensities were measured, expression signals were analyzed and features extracted using a commercial software package (Microarray Suite ver 5.0, Affymetrix). Data mining and statistical analyses were performed with Data Mining Tool ver 3.0 (Affymetrix) algorithms. Arrays were globally scaled to a target intensity value of 2,500 in order to compare individual experiments. The absolute call (present, marginal, absent) of 12,488 gene expressions in each sample, as well as the direction of change, and fold change of gene expressions between samples were identified using the above-mentioned software.
