RESUMO

The bovine papillomavirus E5 protein activates the cellular platelet-derived growth factor β receptor (PDGFβR) tyrosine kinase in a ligand-independent manner. Evidence suggests that the small transmembrane E5 protein homodimerizes and physically interacts with the transmembrane domain of the PDGFβR, thereby inducing constitutive dimerization and activation of this receptor. Amino acids in the receptor previously found to be required for the PDGFβR-E5 interaction are a transmembrane Thr513 and a juxtamembrane Lys499. Here, we sought to determine if these are the only two receptor amino acids required for an interaction with the E5 protein. Substitution of large portions of the PDGFβR transmembrane domain indicated that additional amino acids in both the amino and carboxyl halves of the receptor transmembrane domain are required for a productive interaction with the E5 protein. Indeed, individual amino acid substitutions in the receptor transmembrane domain identified roles for the extracellular proximal transmembrane residues in the interaction. These data suggest that multiple amino acids within the transmembrane domain of the PDGFβR are required for a stable interaction with the E5 protein. These may be involved in direct protein-protein contacts or may support the proper transmembrane alpha-helical conformation for optimal positioning of the primary amino acid requirements.
