Effect of baculovirus infection on the mRNA and protein levels of the Spodoptera frugiperda eukaryotic initiation factor 4E

Abstract: The cDNA sequence of eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E was derived from a Spodoptera frugiperda cDNA library. Eight tryptophan residues, typical for eIF4E, are strictly conserved in the encoded 210 amino acid protein. A polyclonal antiserum detected a 26 kDa protein in lepidopteran cell lines, but not in dipteran cells. Sf21 cells have a single eIF4E gene copy, which is transcribed into a 1500 nt transcript. Infection with AcMNPV resulted in a decrease in eIF4E mRNA starting between 12 and 24 h po… Show more

“…Concomitant with the onset of the very late phase (18 hpi–), a pronounced down–regulation of host transcriptional activity occurs [10], followed by a shut off of most protein synthesis by 24 hpi [11]. This phenomenon reflects increased viral autonomy during the later phases of infection, confirmed by the observation that translation of the very-late genes p10 and polh is relatively insensitive to the presence of 5′-cap-binding eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4E [12], [13].…”

“…Several mechanisms allowing baculovirus mRNAs to compete with insect host mRNAs for translation have been found. These include the presence of AT-rich regions and unstructured 5' untranslated (UTR) regions [8,98], which confer a higher binding affinity for host translation factors by virus mRNAs compared to that of host mRNAs; the relative independence of virus late mRNAs on the 5'-cap-binding eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF4E) for the ribosomal recruitment process, in contrast to most insect mRNAs, which are dependent on cap-binding proteins for being translated [98,99]; and the ability of several virus genes, namely protein kinase 2 (pk-2) and host range factor 1 (hrf-1), to inhibit translational shutoff [64,66]. Emerging evidence also suggests that baculoviruses up-regulate translation initiation factors to accelerate the translation process [7,11].…”

“…By 24 hpi, the majority of newly synthesized proteins are either virus-encoded or virus-induced. The mechanism responsible for the shut off of host protein synthesis is not fully understood but appears to correlate with a reduction in host gene transcripts (Ooi and Miller, 1988; van Oers et al, 2003; van Oers et al, 2001b). A differential display approach was used to identify potentially up-regulated host genes (Nobiron et al, 2003).…”
