Discovery of Slfns
•
The Schlafen (Slfn) family of genes are differentially regulated during
thymocyte maturation and are preferentially expressed in the lymphoid tissues.
•
Ectopic expression of the prototype member Slfn1 early in the T lineage alters
cell growth and development.
•
Expression of Slfn1 in fibroblasts and thymoma cells either retards or ablates
cell growth.
•
Slfn1 knockout mice had no significant phenotype
In the next 12 years…
•
Transgenic T-cell specific expression of muSlfn8 in mice resulted in impaired T cell
development
(Geserick et al., Int Immunol. 2004)
•
Mutation of muSlfn2 causes loss of immune quiescence in T cells and
monocytes(Berger et al., Nature Immun. 2010)
•
muSlfn1 causes a cell cycle arrest by inhibiting induction of cyclin D1
(Brady et al., JBC 2005)
•
Role of Schlafen 2 (SLFN2) in the generation of interferon alpha-induced growth
inhibitory responses
(Katsoulidis et al., JBC 2009)
•
Lack of reproducible growth inhibition by muSlfn1 and muSlfn2 in vitro
(Zhao et al., Blood Cells Mol Dis. 2008)
AAA-domain
“ATPases Associated with various cellular Activities”

• ER-associated degradation
• proteolysis
• peroxisome biogenesis
• mitosis, meiosis
• apoptosis
• microtubule dynamics
• motors
• DNA replication
• DNA recombination and repair
• transcriptional regulation
• homo/hetero-multimer formation

huSlfn11 knock-down HEK293 cell lines
Slfns are induced by Interferons and TLR ligands
Putative helicase domain (similarity to RIG-I ??)
=>
Do they function as pathogen sensors or activators of innate immune
responses?
Retroviral Replication Cycle
huSlfn11 does not alter Infection by MSCV or HIV
MSCV

Do Slfns act as effectors in the innate immune response?
huSlfn11 restricts production of MSCV or HIV

Slfn5 (891 a.a.)
Slfn11 (901 a.a.)
Slfn11N (1-579 a.a.)
Slfn11C (533-901 a.a.)
huSlfn11N restricts production of MSCV or HIV
MSCV
HIV
huSlfn11 does not restrict production of AAV or HSV
Mechanism?
Extracellular p24 and vRNA levels correlate with viral titers by infection assay =>
Fewer viral particles are produced
Virus budding & release are not affected by huSlfn11
Intracellular vRNA levels are not affected by huSlfn11
huSlfn11 specifically inhibits viral protein synthesis
huSlfn11 specifically inhibits viral protein synthesis
huSlfn11 appears to inhibit viral protein translation by interference with -1 frameshifting
