Poliovirus has evolved to maximize its genomic information by
producing multifunctional viral proteins. The P3 nonstructural proteins
harbor various activities when paired with different binding partners.
These viral polypeptides regulate host cell macromolecular synthesis
and function as proteinases, as RNA binding proteins, or as
RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. A cleavage product of the P3 region is
the genome-linked protein VPg that is essential in the initiation of
RNA synthesis. We have used an inducible yeast two-hybrid system to
analyze directly protein-protein interactions among P3 proteins.
Sixteen signals of homo- or heterodimer interactions have been observed
and have been divided into three groups. Of interest is the newly
discovered affinity of VPg to 3Dpol that suggests direct
interaction between these molecules in genome replication. A battery of
3AB variants (eight clustered-charge-to-alanine changes and five
single-amino-acid mutations) has been used to map the binding
determinants of 3AB-3AB interaction which were found to differ from the
amino acids critical for the 3AB-3Dpol interaction. The
viral proteinase 3Cpro was not found to interact with other
3Cpro molecules or with any other P3 polypeptide in yeast
cells, a result confirmed by glutaraldehyde cross-linking. The weak
apparent interaction between 3AB and 3CDpro scored in the
yeast two-hybrid system was in contrast to a strong signal by
far-Western blotting. The results elucidate, in part, previous results
of biochemical and genetic analyses. The role of the interactions in
RNA replication is addressed.
