Baculovirus p 33 Binds Human p 53 and Enhances p 53-Mediated Apoptosis

In vertebrates, p53 participates in numerous biological processes including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, differentiation, and oncogenic transformation. When insect SF-21 cells were infected with a recombinant of the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) overexpressing human p53, p53 formed a stable complex with the product of the AcMNPV orf92, a novel protein p33. The interaction between p53 and p33 was further confirmed by immunoprecipitation studies. When individually expressed in SF-21 cells, human p53 localized mainly in the nucleus whereas baculovirus p33 displayed diffuse cytoplasmic staining and punctuate nuclear staining. However, coexpression of p33 with p53 resulted in exclusive nuclear localization of p33. In both SF-21 and TN-368 cells, p53 expression induced typical features of apoptosis including nuclear condensation and fragmentation, oligonucleosomal ladder formation, cell surface blebbing, and apoptotic body formation. Coexpression of p53 with a baculovirus inhibitor of apoptosis, p35, OpIAP, or CpIAP, blocked apoptosis, whereas coexpression with p33 enhanced p53-mediated apoptosis approximately twofold. Expression of p53 in SF-21 cells stably expressing OpIAP inhibited cell growth in the presence or absence of p33. Thus, human p53 can influence both insect cell growth and death and baculovirus p33 can modulate the death-inducing effects of p53.
