Abstract:

To explore the effect of glucose-regulated protein 94(GRP94) on Pseudorabies virus(PRV) replication and interaction between GRP94 and PRV structural proteins. BHK-21 cells with GRP94 overexpression were constructed by recombinant lentiviruses transfection and BHK-21 cells with GRP94 coding sequences knockout were constructed by CRISPR/Cas9 system. Progeny PRV titers were measured to compare the changes of virus proliferation efficiency in different cell lines. Western blot was performed to detect the expression level of unfolded protein response (UPR) related proteins in different cell lines. The interaction between virus structural proteins and GRP94 was determined by immunoprecipitation analysis. PRV replication was significantly increased in BHK-21-GRP94 cells, while no significant effect on PRV replication was occurred in BHK-21-GRP94-KO cells. The expression level of GRP78 was significantly up-regulated in BHK-21-GRP94-KO cells and interactions between GRP94 and gB, gD, gI were detected by Co-IP. The overexpression of GRP94 was conducive to the proliferation of PRV. By analyzing UPR related proteins, it was of great significance to study the specific role of GRP94 in the process of virus replication, so as to provide a molecular research basis for PRV and ER stress.

Key words: glucose-regulated protein 94, glucose-regulated protein 78, Pseudorabies virus, protein interaction
