Using a set of parental and recombinant murine
hepatitis virus strains, we demonstrate that the nucleocapsid protein
induces transcription of the novel fgl2 prothrombinase gene
and elevated procoagulant activity in those strains that produce
fulminant hepatitis. Chinese hamster ovary cells cotransfected with a
construct expressing nucleocapsid protein from susceptible strains and
with a luciferase reporter construct containing the fgl2
promoter showed a 6-fold increase in luciferase activity compared with
nontransfected cells or cells cotransfected with a construct expressing
nucleocapsid protein from resistant strains. Two deletions found at
coding sites 111-123 and 1143-1145 of structural domains I and III,
respectively, of the nucleocapsid gene may account for the differences
between pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains. Preliminary mapping of
the fgl2 promoter has defined a region from 372 to 306
upstream from the ATG translation initiation site to be responsive to
nucleocapsid protein. Hence, mapping of genetic determinants in
parental and recombinant strains demonstrates that the nucleocapsid
protein of strains that induce fulminant hepatitis is responsible for transcription of the fgl2 prothrombinase gene. These
studies provide new insights into the role of the nucleocapsid gene in
the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis.
