Grass Carp Reovirus VP56 Allies VP4, Recruits, Blocks, and Degrades RIG-I to More Effectively Attenuate IFN Responses and Facilitate Viral Evasion.

ABSTRACT: Grass carp reovirus (GCRV), the most virulent aquareovirus, causes epidemic hemorrhagic disease and tremendous economic loss in freshwater aquaculture industry. VP56, a putative fibrin inlaying the outer surface of GCRV-II and GCRV-III, is involved in cell attachment. In the present study, we found that VP56 localizes at the early endosome, lysosome, and endoplasmic reticulum, recruits the cytoplasmic viral RNA sensor retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and binds to it. The interaction between VP56 and RIG-I was detected by endogenous coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP), glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown, and subsequent liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and was then confirmed by traditional co-IPs and a novel far-red mNeptune-based bimolecular fluorescenc
