RESUMO

Human cytomegalovirus UL97 is an unusual protein kinase that can phosphorylate nucleoside analogs such as ganciclovir but whose specificity for exogenous protein substrates has remained unknown. We found that purified, recombinant glutathione S-transferase-UL97 fusion protein can phosphorylate histone H2B. Phosphorylation was abrogated by substitution of glutamine for a conserved lysine in subdomain II and inhibited by a new antiviral drug, maribavir. Sequencing and mass spectrometric analyses of purified (32)P-labeled tryptic peptides of H2B revealed that the sites of phosphorylation were, in order of extent, Ser-38, Ser-87, Ser-6, Ser-112, and Ser-124. Phosphorylation of synthetic peptides containing these sites, analyzed using a new, chimeric gel system, correlated with their phosphorylation in H2B. Phosphorylation of the Ser-38 peptide by UL97 occurred on Ser-38 and was specifically sensitive to maribavir, whereas phosphorylation of this peptide by cAMP-dependent protein kinase occurred on Ser-36. The extent of phosphorylation was greatest with peptides containing an Arg or Lys residue 5 positions downstream (P+5) from the Ser. Substitution with Ala at this position essentially eliminated activity. These results identify exogenous protein and peptide substrates of UL97, reveal an unusual dependence on the P+5 position, and may abet discovery of new inhibitors of UL97 and human cytomegalovirus replication.
