Interaction of hepatitis B virus X protein with a serine protease, tryptase TL2 as an inhibitor
S Takada et al. Oncogene. 1994 Feb.
Abstract
X protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transactivates transcription of various viral and cellular genes. It has been suggested that X protein plays a major role in hepatocarcinogenesis by HBV. The protein possesses amino acid sequence homology to the functionally essential domain of Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitors. This Kunitz domain-like sequence in X protein is indispensable for the transactivation function. To clarify whether X protein has a serine protease inhibitor activity, a search was made for serine proteases which interact with, but not degrade X protein. Tryptase TL2, one of serine proteases in hepatic cells, was found to directly interact with X protein without degradation. Moreover, the activities of tryptase TL2 and an analogous protease were substantially inhibited by X protein. These results suggest that transactivation function of X protein is exerted by modulation of the hepatic serine protease activity, giving rise to quantitative or qualitative change of cellular transcription factor(s) through protection from proteolytic degradation and/or suppression of processing.
