The zinc ring finger in the bICP0 protein encoded by bovine herpesvirus-1 mediates toxicity and activates productive infection Free

Abstract

The bICP0 protein encoded by bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) is believed to activate transcription and consequently productive infection. Expression of full-length bICP0 protein is toxic in transiently transfected mouse neuroblastoma cells (neuro-2A) in the absence of other viral genes. However, bICP0 does not appear to directly induce apoptosis. Although bICP0 is believed to be functionally similar to the herpes simplex virus type 1-encoded ICP0, the only protein domain that is well conserved is a CHC zinc ring finger located near the N terminus of both proteins. Site-specific mutagenesis of the zinc ring finger of bICP0 demonstrated that it was important for inducing aggregated chromatin structures in transfected cells and toxicity. The zinc ring finger was also required for stimulating productive infection in bovine cells and for -activating the thymidine kinase (TK) promoter of herpes simplex virus type 1. Deletion of amino acids spanning 356–677 of bICP0 altered subcellular localization of bICP0 and prevented -activation of the TK promoter. However, this deletion did not prevent -activation of the viral genome. Taken together, these studies indicated that bICP0 has several functional domains, including the zinc ring finger, which stimulate productive infection and influence cell survival.
