ome coronavirus SARS CoV caused an outbreak of atypical pneumo genome encodes several proteins which have no homology to proteins in number of these proteins have been implicated in viral cytopathies One C M Chan et al The International Journal of Biochemistry while the diacidic domain is a trafficking signal responsible for efficient endoplasmic reticulum ER protein export Nishimura and Balch 1997 Both the YxxH9278and diacidic domains play important roles in intracellular protein trafficking of 3a and a deletion mutant a a 160 173 which uncovers these domains abolishes the localization of 3a to the cell surface Tan et al 2004b Further the 3a C terminal domain a a 125 200 has been demonstrated to possess RNA binding activity Sharma et al 2007 Expression of 3a is detected in patients intestinal surface ente rocytes and pneumocytes Zeng et al 2004 Yu et al 2004 Chan et al 2005 Both its physical interactions with other viral struc tural proteins including Spike Envelope and Membrane Tan et al 2004b and its incorporation into newly packaged matured SARS CoV virions Shen et al 2005 Ito et al 2005 suggest that 3a plays a structural role in the SARS CoV life cycle Apart from being a viral structural protein 3a has been shown to regulate various cellular responses of host cells including the up regulation of fibrinogen gene expression Tan et al 2005 and augmentation of IL 8 and NF H9260B promoter activities Kanzawa et al 2006 possibly through its RNA binding activity Sharma et al 2007 It has been reported that apoptosis initiates viral cytopathic effect in SARS CoV infected cells Ren et al 2005 Bordi et al 2006 Yan et al 2004 Consistent with the viral cytopathologi cal studies a number of SARS CoV proteins including 3a Wong et al 2005 Law et al 2005 are found to be pro apoptotic Tan et al 2004a 2007a b Surjit et al 2004 Chow et al 2005 Lin et al 2006 Yu et al 2004 Yuan et al 2005b Yang et al 2005 Zhao et al 2006 Khan et al 2006 Kopecky Bromberg et al 2006 Chan et al 2007 Previously we and others showed that both caspase 8 Law et al 2005 Padhan et al 2008 and cytochrome c Padhan et al 2008 Wong et al 2005 are involved in 3a induced apoptosis More recently Padhan et al 2008 reported that Bax p53 and p38 MAP kinase also play roles in 3a induced apopto sis The SARS CoV 3a protein appears to have multiple functions including apoptosis induction Although the cysteine rich YxxH9278 and diacidic domains are well known protein motifs on 3a Fig 1A it still remains unclear how these domains are involved in 3a func tions In the present study we performed a structure function study of 3a with an aim to investigate the roles of these domains in its pro apoptotic function in vitro and in vivo In addition the cysteine rich domain had previously been shown to be critical for 3a s ion channel activity Lu et al 2006 our data further illustrate that the ion channel activity is indispensible for caspase dependent apoptosis of 3a 2 Materials and methods 2 1

to generate mutant 3a transgenic lines UAS 3a CS UAS 3a YA and UAS 3a DE Using RT PCR expression level of all 3a transgenes was found to be comparable data not shown 2 8 Scanning electron microscopy

Larvae of corresponding genotypes were fed on either unmodified standard cornmeal medium as described above or medium supplemented with Ba since first instar larval stage Both 1 and 10H9262M Ba gave

Vero E6 cells We performed site directed mutagenesis on three domains of 3a cysteine rich 3a CS C127S C130S C133S YXXH9278 3a YA Y160A and diacidic 3a DE E171A D173A in an attempt to investigate the functional significance of these regions on 3a function in vitro and in vivo Fig 1A Immunofluorescence staining was first performed on these mutant 3a proteins in Vero E6 cells We found that wild type 3a 3a WT protein localized to the plasma membrane Fig 1B and F and also displayed a punctate cytoplasmic staining pattern Fig 1B and F In contrast to 3a WT the 3a CS mutant protein lost the plasma membrane localization and became more concentrated C M Chan et al The International Journal of Biochemistry p 0 05 3a mutant expressing cells versus 3a WT expressing cells At least y reduced nuclear condensation induced by 3a WT protein in Vero E6 cells WT cells versus 3a WT control E and F Caspase 8 and 9 activities were detected educed in mutant 3a expressing cells p 0 05 3a mutant expressing cells versus pathways When we treated 3a WT expressing Vero E6 cells with a broad spectrum caspase inhibitor z VAD fmk Van Noorden 2001 which blocks caspase dependent apoptosis in general a similar level of inhibition was again observed Fig 2D Consistent with the caspase inhibition results we further showed that the activities of caspase 8 and 9 were significantly reduced in all 3a mutant expressing cells Fig 2E and F Truncation of Bid and mitochondrial cytochrome c release are hallmark features of death receptor and mitochondria mediated apoptotic pathways respectively Strasser et al 2009 Here we show that 3a WT protein induced Bid cleav age Fig 3A and mitochondrial cytochrome c release Fig 3B Taken together our data demonstrate that the disruption of the CS YA or DE motif individually does not diminish the ability of 3a to activate the death receptor and mitochondrial apoptotic pathways Fig 3 which is indicative of functional redundancy of these motifs on 3a induced apoptosis 3 3 3a mutants are less potent in triggering apoptosis in vivo We further investigated the pro apoptotic property of 3a mutants in vivo We previously reported that overexpression of 3a WT protein caused a rough eye phenotype and the eye size was also reduced due to excessive cell death Wong et al 2005 Fig 4B In contrast overexpression of 3a CS 3a YA and 3a DE mutants showed only mild rough eye phenotype Fig 4C E and the eye size of these flies was also comparable to the gmr GAL4 driver control Fig 4A Nevertheless we found that both 3a WT Fig 4G and 3a mutants Fig 4H J caused disruption of external eye morphology by scanning electron microscopy Acridine orange AO staining was performed to determine the pro apoptotic property of 3a mutants in flies Acridine orange is a dye which specifically stains apoptotic cells Hay et al 1995 As previously reported Wong et al 2005 3a WT expressing trans genic animals displayed an increased number of AO positive cells Fig 5B when compared to the gmr GAL4 driver control Fig 5A In 2236 C M Chan et al The International Journal of Biochemistry tBid truncated Bid 16 kDa B Upon STS treatment cytochrome c was detected in the cytosolic fraction of untransfected HEK293 cells Cytosolic cytochrome c was also detected in cells transfected with 3a WT CS YA and DE constructs Gluta mate dehydrogenase GDH a mitochondrial marker was used to demonstrate the cytosolic fractions were free of mitochondrial contamination Staurosporine 1H9262M was used to induce apoptosis and H9252 tubulin was used as loading control contrast to 3a WT relatively few number of AO positive cells were detected in 3a CS 3a YA and 3a DE mutant animals Fig 5C E Consistent with the Vero E6 cells data Fig 2 our in vivo results further validate the importance of cysteine rich YxxH9278 and diacidic domains of 3a Fig 1A in 3a s pro apoptotic function 3 4 Ion channel activity of 3a is involved in caspase dependent apoptosis It was reported that 3a possesses ion channel property Lu et al 2006 here we performed electrophysiological measurements to validate the ion channel activity of 3a WT in mammalian cells Fig 6A and B Isolated HEK293 cells expressing 3a WT EGFP protein were picked according to the GFP signal Cells express ing 3a WT EGFP displayed a larger membrane current over the potential range Fig 6B when compared to the mock transfected cells Fig 6A We also detected channel activities in 3a YA EGFP and 3a DE EGFP expressing cells Fig 6C and D however the activities were found to be different from that observed in 3a WT EGFP expressing cells Notably 3a CS EGFP expressing cells displayed whole cell currents that were similar to that of mock transfected cells Fig 6E indicating the 3a CS mutant protein lacks ion channel activity We further found that addition of ion channel blocker barium chloride Ba altered the cell membrane current mediated by 3a WT EGFP 3a YA EGFP and 3a DE EGFP proteins Fig 6B D However Ba displayed no observable effect on 3a CS EGFP expressing cells Fig 6E It has been reported that the Cys 133 residue of the 3a WT pro tein is responsible for homo dimer tetramer formation and is also essential for 3a s ion channel activity Lu et al 2006 As ion chan nel activity has been implicated in apoptosis Burg et al 2006 we investigated whether disrupting the ion channel property of 3a would affect its pro apoptotic function To intervene the ion chan nel function we treated 3a WT transfected Vero E6 cells with ion Fig 4 In vivo expression of wild type and mutant 3a disrupt adult eye
