| Research Abstract |
I.Expression, purification and crystallization of Arabidopsis thaliana translation initiation factor eIF(iso)4E and turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) genome-linked protein (VPg).
Expression and purification of A.thaliana eIF(iso)4E and TuMV VPg were established by using E.coli - pET vector system. Crystallization of A.thaliana eIF(iso)4E and TuMV VPg have been still investigating and three-dimensional of A.thaliana eIF(iso)4E was generated by using the X-ray structure of human eIF4E (Tomoo, K.et al., Biochim Biophys Acta, 2005) as the template.
II.Binding analyses for the interaction between plant virus VPg and plant translational initiation factors.
Affinity chromatography on m^7GTP-Sepharose showed that bound A.thaliana eIF(iso)4E was eluted with crude TuMV VPg. Further column studies with purified VPg and other A.thaliana eIF4E isoforms showed that VPg preferentially bound eIF(iso)4E. Structural data implicate Trp-46 and Trp-92 in eIF(iso)4E in cap recognition. When Trp-46 or Trp-92 were chan

ged to Leu, eIF(iso)4E lost the ability to form a complex with both VPg and m^7GTP-Sepharose. This suggests that the VPg-binding site is located in or near the cap-recognition pocket on eIF(iso)4E. Affinity constants for the interactions with eIF(iso)4E of VPg and capped RNA oligomer were determined using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The K_D values showed that the binging affinity of VPg for eIF(iso)4E is stronger than that of capped RNA. This suggests that viral VPg can interfere with formation of a translational initiation complex on host plant cellular mRNA by sequestering eIF(iso)4E. Further experiments with affinity chromatography showed that VPg forms a ternary complex with eIF(iso)4E and eIF(iso)4G. Thus, VPg may participate in viral translational initiation by functioning as an alternative cap-like structure (Miyoshi, H.et al., Biochimie, 2006).
Furthermore, kinetic analysis for the interaction between TuMV VPg and wheat eIF(iso)4E was investigated by fluorescence titration collaborating with Prof.D.J Goss (The City University of New York). Scatchard analysis revealed the binding affinity (K_a) and average binding sites (n) for VPg were 25.14x10^6 M^<-1> and 0.85,respectively. Addition of eIFiso4G to the eIFiso4E increases 1.5 times the binding affinity with VPg as compared to the eIFiso4E alone. However, eIFiso4G alone did not bind with VPg. Addition of m^7G cap to the eIFiso4E-VPg or eIFiso4E-iso4G-VPg complex further increased the binding affinity. The van't Hoff analyses showed that VPg binding is enthalpy-driven and entropy favorable with a large negative ΔH°(-28.34 kJmole^<-1>), and positive ΔS°(38.40 Jmole^<-1>K^<-1>). These results suggest that the VPg binding site is located on or near the cap recognition pocket on eIFiso4E. Further, the formation of a cap binding complex containing VPg suggests the possibility of direct participation of VPg in the translation of the viral genome (ASBMB Annual Meeting 2006). Less
