Earlier studies have shown that the d120 mutant of
herpes simplex virus 1, which lacks both copies of the
4 gene,
induces caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in HEp-2 cells. Apoptosis was
also induced by the
4 rescuant but was blocked by the
complementation of rescuant with a DNA fragment encoding the
US3 protein kinase (R. Leopardi and B. Roizman, Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 93:9583-9587, 1996, and R. Leopardi, C. Van Sant, and
B. Roizman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:7891-7896, 1997). To
investigate its role in the apoptotic cascade, the US3 open
reading frame was cloned into a baculovirus (Bac-US3) under
the control of the human cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter. We
report the following. (i) Bac-US3 blocks processing of
procaspase-3 to active caspase. Procaspase-3 levels remained unaltered
if superinfected with Bac-US3 at 3 h after
d120 mutant infection, but significant amounts of
procaspase-3 remained in cells superinfected with Bac-Us3 at 9 h
postinfection with d120 mutant. (ii) The US3
protein kinase blocks the proapoptotic cascade upstream of
mitochondrial involvement inasmuch as Bac-US3 blocks
release of cytochrome c in cells infected with the
d120 mutant. (iii) Concurrent infection of HEp-2 cells
with Bac-US3 and the d120 mutant did not
alter the pattern of accumulation or processing of ICP0, -22, or -27, and therefore US3 does not appear to block apoptosis by
targeting these proteins.
