An ATPase Activity Associated with the Rotavirus Phosphoprotein NSP5
Overview
Affiliations
Interactions between NSP5 and NSP2 drive the formation of viroplasms, sites of genome replication and packaging in rotavirus-infected cells. The serine-threonine-rich NSP5 transitions between hypo- and hyper-phosphorylated isomers during the replication cycle. In this study, we determined that purified recombinant NSP5 has a Mg2+-dependent ATP-specific triphosphatase activity that generates free ADP and Pi (Vmax of 19.33 fmol of product/min/pmol of enzyme). The ATPase activity was correlated with low levels of NSP5 phosphorylation, suggestive of a possible link between ATP hydrolysis and an NSP5 autokinase activity. Mutagenesis showed that the critical residue (Ser67) needed for NSP5 hyperphosphorylation by cellular casein kinase-like enzymes has no role in the ATPase or autokinase activities of NSP5. Through its NDP kinase activity, the NSP2 octamer may support NSP5 phosphorylation by creating a constant source of ATP molecules for the autokinase activity of NSP5 and for cellular kinases associated with NSP5.
