摘要
Interactions involved in the expression of parainfluenza glycoproteins were examined by expressing cDNA clones of the HN and F genes from human parainfluenza virus type-1 (hPIV1) or Sendai virus (SV) in recombinant Semliki Forest virus (recSFV) or vaccinia-T7 expression vectors. We found that expression of a cloned F protein gene of hPIV1 resulted in downregulation of the HN proteins of hPIV1 or SV. Compared to the amount of HN expressed in the absence of F, coexpression of HN and F led to about 70% reduction in HN. This reduction of HN was observed in both total cell lysates and in protein localized on the cell surface. In contrast to hPIV1 F, SV F did not suppress the expression of HN. Northern blot analysis indicated that similar levels of HN mRNA accumulated in the absence or presence of hPIV1 F. The reduction of HN protein expression by hPIV1 F was detectable after as little as a in-min labeling period, suggesting that downregulation occurred at the level of translation or at an early stage of protein folding. In hPIV1-infected cells, the amount of F protein synthesized was only about 15% of that of HN, whereas SV F is expressed at high levels. When the level of F in hPIV1-infected cells was artificially increased by recSFV, HN expression was suppressed. The reduction of F protein production in hPIV1-infected cells was regulated at the level of transcription. Characterization of mRNAs produced in hPIV1-infected cells showed that only 20% of the hPIV1 F mRNAs were monocistronic transcripts; 80% were bicistronic M-F readthrough mRNAs. Because proteins are suggested to be synthesized from only the first cistron of bicistronic mRNA in paramyxovirus (T. C. Wong and A. Hirano (1987) J. Virol. 61, 584-589), production of F protein is likely suppressed by transcriptional regulation in hPIV1-infected cells. These results suggest that F is capable of downregulating the synthesis of HN, but that this is normally prevented in hPIV1-infected cells by suppression of F protein synthesis by transcriptional regulation.
