Mitochondrial and Secretory Human Cytomegalovirus UL37 Proteins Traffic into Mitochondrion-Associated Membranes of Human Cells

Abstract: The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL37 exon 1 protein (pUL37x1), also known as vMIA, is the predominant UL37 isoform during permissive infection. pUL37x1 is a potent antiapoptotic protein, which prevents cytochrome c release from mitochondria. The UL37x1 NH 2 -terminal bipartite localization signal, which remains uncleaved, targets UL37 proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then to mitochondria. Based upon our findings, we hypothesized that pUL37x1 traffics from the ER to mitochondria through direct co… Show more

“…Each blot was stripped as previously described, and reprobed for the detection of other ER, MAM, mitochondrial markers (28,49). Blots were exposed to film (Denville Scientific, Metuchen, NJ) and the exposures were scanned using a Bio-Rad GS-800 Calibrated Densitometer and analyzed using QuantityOne Software.…”

“…Subcellular Fractionation and MAM Isolation-Each paired mixture was separately fractioned to isolate enriched heavy MAM from bulk ER and mitochondria as previously described (28,47). The Percoll method used for this analysis is one of the most rigorous procedures to obtain banded MAM and mitochondria.…”

“…As the SS is the first part of the polypeptide to emerge from the ribosome, it is likely that the nascent protein will be initially cotranslationally translocated into the ER lumen. From here, US9 could then be delivered to mitochondria through the mitochondrionassociated membranes, as is the case for vMIA (Bozidis et al, 2008;Colberg-Poley et al, 2000). Unlike vMIA, US9 does not contain an N-terminal bipartite signal and may anchor to the MOM through the C-terminal MLS.…”
