Hepatitis C virus core protein enhances FADD-mediated apoptosis and suppresses TRADD signaling of tumor necrosis factor receptor

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein has been shown to interact with the death domain (DD) of tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1). In this study, we further examined the interaction of the core protein with the signaling molecules of TNFR1, including FADD, TRADD, and TRAF2, in a human embryonic kidney cell line, HEK-293, that overexpresses the HCV core protein. This core protein-expressing cell line exhibited enhanced sensitivity to TNF-induced apoptosis. By in vitro binding and in vivo coimmunoprecipitation assays, we showed that the HCV core protein interacted with the DD of FADD and enhanced apoptosis induced by FADD overexpression. This enhancement could be blocked by a dominant-negative mutant of FADD. In contrast, the core protein did not directly interact with the DD of TRADD, but could disrupt the binding of TRADD to TNFR1. TRAF2 recruitment to the TNFR1 signaling complex was also disrupted by the core protein. Correspondingly, TRAF2-dependent activation of the protein kinase JNK was suppressed in the core protein-expressing cells. However, NF kappa B activation by TNF was not significantly altered by the HCV core protein, suggesting the existence of TRAF2-independent pathways for NF kappa B activation. These resul...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
