The protein encoded by the gamma(I)34.5 gene of herpes simplex virus precludes premature shutoff of protein synthesis in human cells triggered by stress associated with onset of viral DNA synthesis. The carboxyl terminus of the protein is essential for this function. This report indicates that the shutoff of protein synthesis is not due to mRNA degradation because mRNA from wild-type or gamma(I)34.5(-) virus-infected cells directs protein synthesis. Analyses of the posttranslational modifications of translation initiation factor eIF-2 showed the following: (i) eIF-2 alpha was selectively phosphorylated by a kinase present in ribosome-enriched fraction of cells infected with gamma(I)34.5(-) virus. (ii) Endogenous eIF-2 alpha was totally phosphorylated in cells infected with gamma(I)34.5(-) virus or a virus lacking the 3' coding domain of the gamma(I)34.5 gene but was not phosphorylated in mock-infected or wild-type virus-infected cells, (iii) Immune precipitates of the PKR kinase that is responsible for regulation of protein synthesis of some cells by phosphorylation of eIF-2 alpha yielded several phosphorylated polypeptides. Of particular significance were two observations, First, phosphorylation of PKR kinase was elevated in all infected cells relative to the levels in mock-infected cells. Second, the precipitates from lysates of cells infected with gamma(I)34.5(-) virus or a virus lacking the 3' coding domain of the gamma(I)34.5(-) gene contained an additional labeled phosphoprotein of M(r) 90,000 (p90). This phosphoprotein was present in only trace amounts in the immunoprecipitate from cells infected with wild-type virus or mutants lacking a portion of the 5' domain of gamma(I)34.5. We conclude that in the absence of gamma(I)34.5 protein, PKR kinase complexes with the p90 phosphoprotein and shuts off protein synthesis by phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of translation initiation factor eIF-2.
