ABSTRACT
We have used yeast two-hybrid screening to isolate cDNA-encoding proteins interacting with the protein encoded by the interferon (IFN)-inducible gene Ifi204. Four independent overlapping clones were isolated from an NIH3T3 cDNA library. The largest clone encoded a protein (1203 amino acids in length) sharing 94% identity with the C-terminal portion of the human translocated promoter region (Tpr) protein. Northern blot analysis revealed a 7.5-kilobase mRNA present in both mouse and human cell lines. In addition, in vivo interaction was demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation experiments. Anti-Tpr polyclonal monospecific antibodies (Ab) used for immunofluorescence staining labeled the nuclear envelope (NE) in a punctate pattern characteristic of nucleoporins and also yielded staining throughout the nuclear interior. The intranuclear Tpr occurred in apparently discrete foci. When superimposed on optical sections obtained with anti-p204 Abs, these colocalized, with the sole exception of the nucleolar compartment stained by the anti-p204 Abs only. Although the specific function of Tpr is not defined, it appears to mediate p204 translocation from the cytoplasmic to the nuclear compartment following IFN treatment.
