The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus nsp1 is predicted to be auto-cleaved from the replicase polyprotein into nsp1 alpha and nsp1 beta subunits. In infected cells, we detected the actual existence of nsp1 alpha and nsp1 beta. Cleavage sites between nsp1 alpha/nsp1 beta and nsp1 beta/nsp2 were identified by protein microsequencing analysis. Time course study showed that nsp1 alpha and nsp1 beta mainly localize into the cell nucleus after 10 h post infection. Further analysis revealed that both proteins dramatically inhibited IFN-beta expression. The nsp1 beta was observed to significantly inhibit expression from an interferon-stimulated response element promoter after Sendai virus infection or interferon treatment. It was further determined to inhibit nuclear translocation of STAT1 in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. These results demonstrated that nsp1 beta has ability to inhibit both interferon synthesis and signaling, while nsp1 alpha alone strongly inhibits interferon synthesis. These findings provide important insights into mechanisms of nsp1 in PRRSV pathogenesis and its impact in vaccine development. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
