One of the best-studied Bax activators is the BH3-only protein Bid, which binds proapoptotic Bax and Bak, as well as antiapoptotic Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL (54, 56). In response to certain apoptotic signals, Bid is cleaved by caspase 8, and the resulting truncated Bid (also called tBid) translocates from the cytosol to mitochondrial membranes, where it binds the mitochondrion-specific lipid cardiolipin (30, 32, 33). Indeed, Bax oligomerization and insertion into OMM can be triggered by tBid (9). Although tBid and Bax fail to permeabilize cardiolipin-free endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes, they act on cardiolipin-containing liposomes or outer mitochondrial membrane vesicles (27), suggesting that cardiolipin is a critical component for activating Bax. However, tBid-induced Bax oligomerization in mitochondrial membranes is inhibited by pretreatment of mitochondria with protease K (46), indicating that another unidentified OMM protein(s) is also required for Bax oligomerization. Consistently, tBid and Bax can completely release preloaded dextran from outer mitochondrial membrane vesicles compared to chemically defined protein-free liposomes (27), suggesting that some mitochondrial protein(s) indeed contributes to the permeabilization reaction.
To gain insights into Bax function, we (6) and others (44) independently have identified a novel Bax-binding protein termed Bif-1 (Bax-interacting factor 1) and SH3GLB1 (SH3 domain GRB2-like endophilin B1), respectively, by yeast two-hybrid screens using Bax as the bait. Interestingly, the interaction of Bif-1 with Bax in mammalian cells appears to be specifically enhanced by apoptotic stimulation, such as interleukin 3 (IL-3) withdrawal or microtubule damage, which is accompanied by a conformational change in the Bax protein (6). Ectopic expression of Bif-1 in FL5.12 cells promotes IL-3 deprivation-induced conformational change in the Bax protein, caspase activation, and apoptotic cell death (6). Bif-1 is also known as endophilin B1 (21), a member of the evolutionarily conserved endophilin B family, which contains an N-BAR (Bin-amphiphysin-Rvs) domain and a C-terminal SH3 domain but shares no significant homology with members of the Bcl-2 family. Unlike endophilin A1, which is essential for synaptic vesicle endocytosis (21), Bif-1/endophilin B1 is associated with intracellular membranes (6, 10, 37) and does not appear to operate in endocytosis at the plasma membrane (37). Interestingly, it has been shown that Bif-1/endophilin B1 is involved in the regulation of morphological dynamics of mitochondria (23), and a significant portion of Bif-1 translocates to mitochondria in response to apoptotic signals (6, 23). These findings suggest that Bif-1 may represent a new type of Bax activator that controls the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.

Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) have a highly restricted host range as they replicate only in cells of their own or closely related species. To date, the molecular mechanisms underlying the CMV host restriction remain poorly understood. However, it has been shown that mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) can be adapted to human cells and that adaptation goes along with adaptive mutations in several viral genes. In this study, we identify MCMV M117 as a novel host range determinant. Mutations in this gene enable the virus to cross the species barrier and replicate in human RPE-1 cells. We show that the M117 protein is expressed with early kinetics, localizes to viral replication compartments, and contributes to the inhibition of cellular DNA synthesis. Mechanistically, M117 interacts with members of the E2F transcription factor family and induces E2F target gene expression in murine and human cells. While the N-terminal part of M117 mediates E2F interaction, the C-terminal part mediates self-interaction. Both parts are required for the activation of E2F-dependent transcription. We further show that M117 is dispensable for viral replication in cultured mouse fibroblasts and endothelial cells, but is required for colonization of mouse salivary glands in vivo. Conversely, inactivation of M117 or pharmacological inhibition of E2F facilitates MCMV replication in human RPE-1 cells, whereas replacement of M117 by adenovirus E4orf6/7, a known E2F activator, prevents it. These results indicate that E2F activation is detrimental for MCMV replication in human cells. In summary, this study identifies MCMV M117 as a novel E2F activator that functions as a host range determinant by precluding MCMV replication in human cells.
The E2F transcription factors were first described in 1986 as DNA binding proteins activating the adenoviral E2a promoter [27]. Since then, eight E2F proteins (E2F1-8) have been discovered in mammalian cells and classified either as transcriptional activators (E2F1-3) or repressors (E2F4-8) (reviewed in [28,29]). However, this classification is probably oversimplified as some activators can also repress gene expression [30] while the repressors, such as E2F4, can activate the expression of certain target genes [31]. E2F1-6 transcription factors form heterodimers with dimerization partner proteins DP1 or DP2 that stabilize the DNA binding of the complex and target the transcription factors to specific promoters [32]. The transcription factor activity of the E2F family is negatively regulated by their association with cell cycle regulators of the retinoblastoma protein family (pRb, p107, and p130), also known as pocket proteins. Phosphorylation of the pocket proteins releases the E2F-DP complex, which can then activate the expression of the E2F-dependent genes [33]. Several studies have shown that E2F activation promotes cell cycle progression into S phase, as many E2F target genes are involved in the process of DNA replication [34].
Here we show that the MCMV M117 protein interacts with all canonical E2F family members and activates E2F-dependent gene expression in MCMV-infected cells. M117 inactivation did not impair MCMV replication in murine cells, but massively reduced viral dissemination to the salivary glands of infected mice. By specific mutagenesis of M117 we showed that the interaction with E2F3 is of particular importance for transcriptional activation of target genes and for viral dissemination of MCMV in vivo. Intriguingly, M117 inactivation or pharmacological inhibition of E2F-dependent transcription facilitated MCMV replication in human cells while expression of the AdV E4orf6/7 protein, a known E2F activator, inhibited MCMV replication, suggesting that some E2F target proteins in human cells restrict MCMV replication.
The E2F transcription factors have been classified as functional activators or repressors of gene expression [28,56]. As M117 interacted with all canonical members of the E2F family, we wanted to determine the effect of M117 on E2F-dependent transcription. For this purpose, we used a reporter plasmid containing the firefly luciferase gene under the control of an E2F-dependent promoter. NIH-3T3 cells were first co-transfected with this reporter plasmid and a control plasmid expressing Renilla luciferase and then infected either with MCMV-M117-FL or the mutant viruses. Cell lysates were harvested 24 hpi and luciferase activity was measured with a dual luciferase assay. Cells infected with MCMV expressing a 3xFlag-tagged full-length M117 (MCMV-M117-FL) showed an increased firefly luciferase expression compared to uninfected cells, indicating that MCMV induces E2F-dependent transcription (Fig 6A). E2F-dependent luciferase expression was strongly reduced in cells infected by MCMV mutants expressing truncated M117 (M117-Nter and M117-Cter2) or lacking M117 proteins (M117stop) (Fig 6A), suggesting that both the N-terminus (required for E2F interaction) and the C-terminus (required for self-interaction) of M117 are needed to activate E2F-dependent transcription. Surprisingly, the MCMV-M117-M4 mutant virus activated E2F-dependent transcription to a similar extent as did MCMV-M117-FL, suggesting that the E2F family member E2F3 is a very potent transcription factor under these conditions. Mutation of the E2F binding site of the reporter plasmid abrogated the induction of luciferase (Fig 6A), confirming that M117 induced luciferase expression in an E2F-dependent manner. be457b7860
