ABSTRACT Middle T antigen (MT), the principal oncoprotein of murine polyomavirus, transforms by association with cellular proteins. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), YAP, Src family tyrosine kinases, Shc, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), and phospholipase C-γ1 (PLCγ1) have all been implicated in MT transformation. Mutant dl1015, with deletion of residues 338 to 347 in the C-terminal region, has been an enigma, because the basis for its transformation defect has not been apparent. This work probes the dl1015 region of MT. Because the region is proline rich, the hypothesis that it targets Src homology domain 3 (SH3) domains was tested, but mutation of the putative SH3 binding motif did not affect transformation. During this work, two point mutants, W348R and E349K, were identified as transformation defective. Extensive analysis of the E349K mutant is described here. Similar to wild-type MT, the E349K mutant associates with PP2A, YAP, tyrosine kinases, Shc, PI3 kinase, and PLCγ1. The E349K mutant was examined to determine the mechanism for its transformation defect. Assays of cell localization and membrane targeting showed no obvious difference in localization. Src association was normal as assayed by in vitro kinase and MT phosphopeptide mapping. Shc activation was confirmed by its tyrosine phosphorylation. Association of type 1 PI3K with MT was demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation, showing both PI3K subunits and in vitro activity. Nonetheless, expression of the mutants failed to lead to the activation of two known downstream targets of PI3K, Akt and Rac-1. Strikingly, despite normal association of the E349K mutant with PI3K, cells expressing the mutant failed to elevate phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) in mutant-expressing cells. These results indicate a novel unsuspected aspect to PI3K control. IMPORTANCE The gene coding for middle T antigen (MT) is the murine polyomavirus oncogene most responsible for tumor formation. Its study has a history of uncovering novel aspects of mammalian cell regulation. The importance of PI3K activity and tyrosine phosphorylation are two examples of insights coming from MT. This study describes new mutants unable to transform like the wild type that point to novel regulation of PI3K signaling. Previous mutants were defective in PI3K because they failed to bind the enzyme and bring the activity to the membrane. These mutants recruit PI3K activity like the wild type, but fail to elevate the cellular level of PIP3, the product used to signal downstream of PI3K. As a result, they fail to activate either Akt or Rac1, explaining the transformation defect.

ABSTRACT The pathways by which viruses enter cells are diverse, but in all cases, infection necessitates the transfer of the viral genome across a cellular membrane. Polyomavirus (Py) particles, after binding to glycolipid and glycoprotein receptors at the cell surface, are delivered to the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The nature and extent of virus disassembly in the ER, how the viral genome is transported to the cytosol and subsequently to the nucleus, and whether any cellular proteins are involved are not known. Here, we identify an ER-resident protein, Derlin-2, a factor implicated in the removal of misfolded proteins from the ER for cytosolic degradation, as a component of the machinery required for mouse Py to establish an infection. Inhibition of Derlin-2 function by expression of either a dominant-negative form of Derlin-2 or a short hairpin RNA that reduces Derlin-2 levels blocks Py infection by 50 to 75%. The block imposed by Derlin-2 inhibition occurs after the virus reaches the ER and can be bypassed by the introduction of Py DNA into the cytosol. These findings suggest a mode of Py entry that involves cytosolic access via the quality control machinery in the ER.

ABSTRACT The mechanism by which murine polyomavirus penetrates cells and arrives at the nucleus, the site of viral replication, is not well understood. Simian virus 40 and JC virus, two closely related members of the polyomavirus subfamily, use caveola- and clathrin-mediated uptake pathways for entry, respectively. The data presented here indicate that compounds that block endocytosis of both caveola- and clathrin-derived vesicles have no effect on polyomavirus infectivity. Polyomavirus does not appear to colocalize with either clathrin light chain or caveolin-1 by immunofluorescence microscopy. Additionally, expression of a dominant-negative form of dynamin I has no effect on polyomavirus uptake and infectivity. Therefore, polyomavirus uptake occurs through a class of uncoated vesicles in a clathrin-, caveolin-1-, and dynamin I-independent manner.

Viral replication in mice infected with murine polyomavirus strains with novel enhancer rearrangements was analyzed by direct in situ hybridization of whole mouse sections and by hybridization of nucleic acids extracted from a specific set of organs. The enhancer rearrangements included a deletion of the B domain as well as duplications within the A domain. Comparisons between enhancer variants demonstrate that the B domain plays an important role in replication in most organs, in particular in the kidney, at the neonatal stage (days 0 to 7 postbirth). In contrast, the B domain is not required in those organs which can sustain replication in the adult, i.e. mammary gland, skin, and bone (class I organs [J. J. Wirth, A. Amalfitano, R. Gross, M. B. A. Oldstone, and M. M. Fluck, J. Virol. 66:3278-3286, 1992]). Altogether, the results suggest that the B and A domains mediate very different functions in infection of mice, controlling the acute and persistent phases of infection, respectively. A model of mouse infection based on the crucial role of differentially expressed host transcription factors is presented.
