William Miller , PhD

The Miller laboratory is interested in the mechanisms by which microbial pathogens manipulate host cell signal transduction pathways. We are using cytomegalovirus and Bordetella pertussis to examine how the pathogens alter signaling pathways directed by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs represent the largest family of cell surface receptor proteins and play primary roles in numerous physiological processes ranging from regulation of cardiovascular tone to direction of cellular migration. Given the large number of signaling pathways regulated by GPCRs, it is not surprising that microbial pathogens encode proteins in their genomes that regulate signaling via this class of receptors. The cytomegaloviruses encode GPCRs that appear to signal via the Gq class of G-proteins and we are currently examining the membrane proximal events that regulate these viral GPCRs using molecular and biochemical techniques. We are also pursuing studies aimed at defining the impact that these viral GPCR have on pathogenesis in vivo. Using a genetics-based approach we are constructing viral mutants with targeted mutations in the viral GPCRs to define the mechanism of action of these proteins in cell culture and in vivo. Our second major focus is on the Bordetella pertussis encoded pertussis toxin. Pertussis toxin has long been known as a potent inhibitor of GPCR signaling pathways via the ability of its catalytic A subunit to inactivate the Gi class of G-proteins. We have been studying a novel mechanism by which pertussis toxin inhibits GPCR signaling pathways and have discovered that pertussis toxin can activate the T cell receptor and induce cross-desensitization of GPCRs such as CXCR4 and CCR5. This activity of pertussis toxin occurs independent of the previously described catalytic activity and is a result of the B subunit of the toxin. Our studies will shed light on the mechanisms of signaling involved in microbial pathogenesis and also uncover novel mechanisms by which intracellular signaling pathways are regulated.

The Miller laboratory is interested in the mechanisms by which viral pathogens manipulate host cell signal transduction pathways. We are primarily using cytomegaloviruses to examine how the pathogens alter signaling pathways directed by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) to facilitate robust replication in tissues important for host-host dissemination.
