Amphipathic CRAC-Containing Peptides Derived from the Influenza Virus A M1 Protein Modulate Cholesterol-Dependent Activity of Cultured IC-21 Macrophages #MMPMID30208834

Entry of many viral and bacterial pathogens into host cells depends on cholesterol and/or cholesterol-enriched domains (lipid rafts) in the cell membrane. Earlier, we showed that influenza virus A matrix protein M1 contains amphipathic alpha-helices with exposed cholesterol-recognizing amino acid consensus (CRAC) motifs. In order to test possible functional activity of these motifs, we studied the effects of three synthetic peptides corresponding to the CRAC-containing alpha-helices of the viral M1 protein on the phagocytic activity of cultured mouse IC-21 macrophages. The following peptides were used: LEVLMEWLKTR (M1 alpha-helix 3, a.a. 39-49; further referred to as peptide 1), NNMDKAVKLYRKLK (M1 alpha-helix 6, a.a. 91-105; peptide 2), and GLKNDLLENLQAYQKR (M1 alpha-helix 13, a.a. 228-243; peptide 3). We found that all three peptides modulated interactions of IC-21 macrophages with non-opsonized 2-microm target particles. The greatest effect was demonstrated by peptide 2: in the presence of 35 muM peptide 2, the phagocytic index of IC-21 macrophages exceeded the control value by 60%; 10-11 mM methyl-beta-cyclodextrin abolished this effect. Peptides 1 and 3 exerted weak inhibitory effect in a narrow concentration range of 5-10 muM. The dose-response curves could be approximated by a sum of two (stimulatory and inhibitory) components with different Hill coefficients, suggesting existence of at least two peptide-binding sites with different affinities on the cell surface. CD spectroscopy confirmed that the peptides exhibit structural flexibility in solutions. Altogether, our data indicate that amphipathic CRAC-containing peptides derived from the viral M1 protein modulate lipid raft-dependent processes in IC-21 macrophages.
