Abstract

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein is known to be a multifunctional protein, besides being a component of viral nucleocapsids. Previously, we have shown that the core protein binds to the cytoplasmic domain of lymphotoxin beta receptor, which is a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family. In this study, we demonstrated that the core protein also binds to the cytoplasmic domain of TNFR 1. The interaction was demonstrated both by glutathione S-transferase fusion protein pull-down assay in vitro and membrane flotation method in vivo. Both the in vivo and in vitro binding required amino acid residues 345 to 407 of TNFR 1, which corresponds to the "death domain" of this receptor. We have further shown that stable expression of the core protein in a mouse cell line (BC10ME) or human cell lines (HepG2 and HeLa cells) sensitized them to TNF-induced apoptosis, as determined by the TNF cytotoxicity or annexin V apoptosis assay. The presence of the core protein did not alter the level of TNFR 1 mRNA in the cells or expression of TNFR 1 on the cell surface, suggesting that the sensitization of cells to TNF by the viral core protein was not due to up-regulation of TNFR 1. Furthermore, we observed that the core protein bl...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
