Poliovirus mRNA stability is mediated by poly(rC) binding proteins (PCBPs) interacting with the 5' cloverleaf structure. This interaction protects viral RNA from degradation, crucial for poliovirus replication.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Molecular Biology
  • RNA Biology

Background:

  • Poliovirus RNA features a 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure forming ribonucleoprotein complexes with poly(rC) binding proteins (PCBPs).
  • The functional role of these ribonucleoprotein complexes in poliovirus replication remains to be fully elucidated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the functional role of PCBP-RNA complexes in poliovirus replication.
  • To investigate the impact of PCBP binding on poliovirus mRNA stability, translation, and RNA synthesis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized HeLa S10 translation-replication reactions to assay poliovirus mRNA stability, translation, and negative-strand RNA synthesis.
  • Employed ribohomopoly(C) RNA competitor and a C24A mutation to disrupt PCBP binding.
  • Assessed the effect of a 5'-terminal 7-methylguanosine cap on mRNA stability.

Main Results:

  • Ribohomopoly(C) destabilized wild-type poliovirus mRNA, an effect blocked by the 5' cap.
  • PCBP binding, mediated by the 5' cloverleaf structure, is essential for poliovirus mRNA stability.
  • A C24A mutation preventing PCBP binding rendered mRNA unstable, but did not affect translation or negative-strand RNA synthesis.

Conclusions:

  • Poly(rC) binding proteins (PCBPs) mediate poliovirus mRNA stability through interaction with the 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure.
  • This mechanism is likely conserved among picornaviruses, including coxsackieviruses, echoviruses, and rhinoviruses, influencing viral replication.
