RESUMO
Amino acid insertions or substitutions were introduced into the poliovirus P1 capsid precursor at locations proximal to the two known Q-G cleavage sites to examine the role of the P4 residue in substrate processing by proteinase 3CD. Analysis of the processing profile of P1 precursors containing four-amino-acid insertions into the carboxy terminus of VP3 or a single-amino-acid substitution at the P4 position of the VP3-VP1 cleavage site demonstrates that substitution of the alanine residue in the P4 position of the VP3-VP1 cleavage site significantly affects cleavage at that site by proteinase 3CD. A single-amino-acid substitution at the P4 position of the VP0-VP3 cleavage site, on the other hand, has only a slight effect on 3CD-mediated processing at this cleavage site. Finally, analysis of six amino acid insertion mutations containing Q-G amino acid pairs demonstrates that the in vitro and in vivo selection of a cleavage site from two adjacent Q-G amino acid pairs depends on the presence of an alanine in the P4 position of the cleaved site. Our data provide genetic and biochemical evidence that the alanine residue in the P4 position of the VP3-VP1 cleavage site is a required substrate determinant for the recognition and cleavage of that site by proteinase 3CD and suggest that the P4 alanine residue may be specifically recognized by proteinase 3CD.
