KSHV RTA abolishes NFκB responsive gene expression during lytic reactivation by targeting vFLIP for degradation via the proteasome.
[primary effusion lymphoma]
Kaposi
's
sarcoma
herpesvirus
(
KSHV
)
is
a
gamma-
2
herpesvirus
present
in
all
cases
of
Kaposi
's
sarcoma
,
primary
effusion
lymphoma
(
PEL
)
,
and
some
cases
of
multicentric
Castleman
's
disease
.
Viral
FLICE
inhibitory
protein
(
vFLIP
)
is
a
latently
expressed
gene
that
has
been
shown
to
be
essential
for
survival
of
latently
infected
PEL
cells
by
activating
the
NFκB
pathway
.
Inhibitors
of
either
vFLIP
expression
or
the
NFĸB
pathway
result
in
enhanced
lytic
reactivation
and
apoptosis
.
We
have
observed
a
decrease
in
vFLIP
protein
levels
and
of
NFκB
activation
in
the
presence
of
the
KSHV
lytic
switch
protein
RTA
.
Whereas
vFLIP
alone
induced
expression
of
the
NFĸB
responsive
genes
ICAM
1
and
TNF
α
,
inclusion
of
RTA
decreased
vFLIP
induced
ICAM
1
and
TNF
α
expression
in
both
co
-transfected
293
T
cells
and
in
doxycycline
induced
TREx
BCBL
1
cells
.
RTA
expression
resulted
in
proteasome
dependent
destabilization
of
vFLIP
.
Neither
RTA
ubiquitin
E
3
ligase
domain
mutants
nor
a
dominant-negative
RAUL
mutant
abrogated
this
effect
,
while
RTA
truncation
mutants
did
,
suggesting
that
RTA
recruits
a
novel
cellular
ubiquitin
E
3
ligase
to
target
vFLIP
for
proteasomal
degradation
,
allowing
for
inhibition
of
NFĸB
responsive
gene
expression
early
during
lytic
reactivation
.
