Although the immediate-early proteins of both herpes simplex virus
(HSV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are known to modify promyelocytic leukemia (PML) (ND10) bodies in the nucleus of the host cell, it has
been unclear whether lytic infection with gamma herpesviruses induces a
similar effect. The PML protein is induced by interferon, involved in
major histocompatibility complex class I presentation, and necessary
for certain types of apoptosis. Therefore, it is likely that PML bodies
function in an antiviral capacity. SUMO-1 modification of PML is known
to be required for the formation of PML bodies. To examine whether
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic replication interferes with PML bodies,
we expressed the EBV immediate-early genes BZLF1 (Z) and BRLF1 (R) in
EBV-positive cell lines and examined PML localization. Both Z and R
expression resulted in PML dispersion in EBV-positive cells. Z but not
R expression is sufficient to disrupt PML bodies in EBV-negative cell
lines. We show that dispersion of PML bodies by Z requires a portion of
the transcriptional activation domain of Z but not the DNA-binding
function. As was previously reported for the HSV-1 ICP0 and CMV IE1
proteins, Z reduces the amount of SUMO-1-modified PML. We also found
that Z itself is SUMO-1 modified (through amino acid 12) and that Z
competes with PML for limiting amounts of SUMO-1. These results suggest
that disruption of PML bodies is important for efficient lytic
replication of EBV. Furthermore, Z may potentially alter the function
of a variety of cellular proteins by inhibiting SUMO-1 modification.
