Influenza A virus infection activates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway by binding influenza A virus NS1 protein to the p85 beta regulatory subunit of PI3K. In this study, we report that NS1 binds to the inter-SH2 (iSH2) domain of p85 beta. Mutational analyses on p85 beta iSH2 domain defined that Val-573 is the critical amino acid (AA) that mediates NS1 and p85 beta interaction. In reciprocal gain of function experiments with p85 alpha, we demonstrated that mutation to Val at Met-582 leads to NS1 binding and increased PI3K activity. Molecular modeling based on our experimental results suggested that, in addition to the interaction interface between the NS1 SH3 binding motif 1 (AA 164-167) and p85 beta Val-573, AA 137-142 in NS1 might interact with p85 beta. Indeed, mutations of AA 141 and 142 in NS1 disrupted the interaction between NS1 and p85 beta. Mutant virus PR8-NS1-141/142 was not able to activate Akt phosphorylation. Furthermore, PI3K assays demonstrated that, in wild-type virus-infected cells, p85 beta-associated PI3K activity was increased significantly. In contrast, in the mutant virus-infected cells containing mutant NS1 unable to interact with p85 beta, the p85 beta-associated PI3K activity up-regulation was not seen, suggesting that PI3K up-regulation is dependent upon the interaction between NS1 and p85 beta. Competition experiments and the immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that NS1, p85 beta, and p110 form a complex in cells. Finally, the mechanism by which binding of NS1 to p85 beta regulates PI3K activity was discussed based on a predicted structural model of NS1-p85-p110 complex.
