Epstein-Barr virus protein EB2 stimulates translation initiation of mRNAs through direct interactions with both PABP and eIF4G


ABSTRACT: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) expresses several mRNAs produced from intronless genes that could be unfavorably translated in front of cellular spliced mRNAs. To overpass these limitations, the virus encodes a RNA-binding protein (RBP), EB2, which is already known to facilitate nuclear mRNAs export and to increase their translational yield. Here we show that EB2 binds both nuclear and cytoplasmic cap-binding complexes (respectively, CBC and eIF4F), and the poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) to enhance translation initiation of a given mRNP. Interestingly, such effect can be obtained only if EB2 was initially bound to the native mRNPs in the nucleus. We also demonstrate that the EB2-eIF4F-PABP association renders the translation of these mRNPs less sensitive to inhibitors of initiation. Taken together, our new data suggest that EB2 binds and stabilizes cap-binding complexes to increase mRNP translation and demonstrate the importance of the mRNP assembly process in the nucleus to promote translation in the cytoplasm.
