Human herpesvirus 6B induces phosphorylation of p53 in its regulatory domain by a CK2- and p38-independent pathway

Abstract: Here, we demonstrate that human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) infection upregulates the tumour suppressor p53 and induces phosphorylation of p53 at Ser392. Interestingly, phosphorylation at the equivalent site has previously been shown to correlate with p53 tumour suppression in murine models. Although the signalling pathways leading to Ser392 phosphorylation are poorly understood, they seem to include casein kinase 2 (CK2), double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (PKR), p38 or cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9).… Show more

“…CK1 Inhibitor Experiments-Mock-infected and HHV-6B-infected MOLT-3 cells were treated with 10 -100 M CK1 inhibitor D4476, concomitantly with infection, for 48 h. Alternatively, MOLT-3 cells were pretreated with 10 -60 M D4476 for 44 h before exposure (or sham exposure) to a 6-gray x-ray and further culture for 4 h. DMSO solvent controls were included, and cells were lysed as described previously (15).…”

“…1F6 and VC1 antibodies to VRK1 were generated as described previously (17). P-p53 Ser 15 antibody to p53 phosphorylated at Ser 15 and an antibody against CK1 were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (supplied by New England Biolabs, Hitchin, UK). P-p53 Ser 20 antibody to p53 phosphorylated at Ser 20 and antibodies against CK1␣, CHK1, and CHK2 were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA) (supplied by Insight Biotechnology, Wembley, UK).…”

“…Much is known about the mechanisms by which viral proteins in transformed cells prevent the activities of p53 (12). During infection, HHV-6B induces significant accumulation of p53 in both the nucleus and cytoplasm, and determines phosphorylation of p53 at Ser392 (13)(14)(15). TP53 restricts the production of HHV-6B mRNAs and proteins, which inhibits viral replication and diminishes the cytopathic effects of the virus (16).…”

“…Although it remains to be determined, in RT4 cells, one (or more) of the ATM, ATR and DNA-PK kinases could be likely implicated in the cisplatin-induced phosphorylation of p53 at Ser15, whereas Ser392 phosphorylation might be implemented by one (or more) of the p38 MAPK, CDK9 and CK2 kinases (65)(66)(67). Accordingly, a role of ATR/Chk2 signaling in p53 activation and subsequent apoptosis has been recently demonstrated in cisplatin-treated renal cells, thereby further illuminating the drug-induced nephrotoxicity mechanisms (15).…”
