EV71 infection can induce cellular apoptosis through a variety of pathways, which promotes EV71 release. The viral protease 3C plays an important role in EV71-induced apoptosis. However, the molecular mechanism responsible for 3C-triggered apoptosis remains elusive. Here, we found that EV71 3C directly interacted with PinX1, a telomere binding protein. Furthermore, 3C cleaved PinX1 at the site of Q50-G51 pair through its protease activity. Overexpression of PinX1 reduced the level of EV71-induced apoptosis and EV71 release, whereas depletion of PinX1 by small interfering RNA promoted apoptosis induced by etoposide and increased EV71 release. Taken together, our study uncovered a mechanism that EV71 utilizes to promote host cell apoptosis through cleavage of cellular protein PinX1 by 3C.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:bold>EV71 3C plays an important role in processing viral proteins and interacting with host cells. In this study, we showed that 3C promoted apoptosis through cleaving PinX1, a telomere binding protein, and that this cleavage facilitated EV71 release. Our study demonstrated that PinX1 plays an important role in EV71 release and revealed a novel mechanism that EV71 utilizes to induce apoptosis. This finding is important in understanding EV71-host cell interactions and has potential impact on understanding other enterovirus-host cell interactions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jvi.02016-16","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,10]],"date-time":"2016-11-10T13:24:17Z","timestamp":1478784257000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Enterovirus 71 3C Promotes Apoptosis through Cleavage of PinX1, a Telomere Binding Protein"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Technology, Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunfang","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Technology, Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Technology, Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Technology, Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongquan","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Technology, Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhilong","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wentao","family":"Qiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Technology, Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Technology, Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01317504"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0097404"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"106","DOI":"10.47102\/annals-acadmedsg.V38N2p106","article-title":"Epidemiology and control of hand, foot and mouth disease in Singapore, 2001-2007","volume":"38","author":"Ang LW","year":"2009","unstructured":"Ang LW Koh BK Chan KP Chua LT James L Goh KT . 2009.
