Analysis of global gene expression profiles of hPAF1 deficient A549 cells during stimulation with PR8/∆NS1 influenza virus, IFNβ1 or Poly(I:C)

ABSTRACT: Viral infection is commonly associated with virus-driven hijacking of host proteins. We describe a novel mechanism by which influenza virus impacts host cells through the interaction of influenza NS1 protein with the infected cell epigenome. We show that the NS1 protein of influenza A H3N2 targets the transcription elongation PAF1 complex (hPAF1C). We demonstrate that binding of NS1 to hPAF1C results in suppression of hPAF1C-mediated transcriptional elongation. More importantly,in the following data sets, we show that hPAF1 plays a crucial role in the antiviral response. Loss of hPAF1C reduces antiviral gene expression and reduces inducible transcription of target genes after stimulation with viral RNA analogue poly(I:C), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), exogenous recombinant IFN(beta) a
