Abstract
PB1-F2 is a viral protein encoded by influenza A viruses (IAVs). PB1-F2 is implicated in virulence by triggering immune cell apoptosis and enhancing inflammation. To obtain an insight into the molecular mechanisms of PB1-F2-mediated virulence, we used the yeast two-hybrid approach to find new PB1-F2 cellular interactors. This allowed us to identify calcium-binding and coiled-coil domain 2 (CALCOCO2, also known as NDP52) as a binding partner of PB1-F2. Binding of PB1-F2 to CALCOCO2 was confirmed by pull-down. Surface plasmon resonance binding experiments enabled us to estimate the dissociation constant (Kd) of the two partners to be around 20 nM. Using bioinformatics tools, we designed a CALCOCO2 interaction map based on previous knowledge and showed a strong connection between this protein and the type I interferon production pathways and the I-κB kinase/NF-κB signalling pathway. NF-κB reporter assays in which CALCOCO2, MAVS and PB1-F2 were co-expressed showed a cooperation of these three proteins to increase the inflammatory response. By contrast, PB1-F2 inhibits the TBK1-dependent activation of an ISRE reporter plasmid. We also demonstrated that the signal transducer TRAF6 is implicated in the enhancement of NF-κB activity mediated by PB1-F2/CALCOCO2 binding. Altogether, this report provides evidence of an interaction link between PB1-F2 and human proteins, and allows a better understanding of the involvement of PB1-F2 in the pathologic process mediated by IAV.
