Lytic infection and transformation of cultured cells by JC virus (JCV) require five tumor proteins, which interact with factors regulating critical cellular processes. We demonstrate that JCV large T antigen (TAg) binds the F-box proteins beta-transducin-repeat containing protein-1 and 2 (beta TrCP1/2). These interactions involve a phosphodegron (DpSGX(2-4)pS) found in beta TrCP substrates. TAg stability is unaltered, suggesting TAg is a pseudo-substrate. beta TrCP and TAg co-localize in the cytoplasm, and a functional SCF complex is required. We examined whether TAg influences the levels of beta-catenin, a beta TrCP substrate. We were unable to demonstrate that TAg elevates beta-catenin as previously reported, and a mutant TAg unable to bind beta TrCP also had no detectable effect on beta-catenin stability. Results presented in this study link JCV TAg to the cellular degradation complex, SCP beta TrCP1/2. Proteasomal degradation is essential for proper regulation of cellular functions, and interference with proteasomal pathways highlights possible JCV pathogenic and oncogenic mechanisms.
