Nuclear-localized human respiratory syncytial virus NS1 protein modulates host gene transcription.

ABSTRACT: Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in the pediatric, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. RSV non-structural protein NS1 is a known cytosolic immune antagonist, but how NS1 modulates host responses remains poorly defined. Here, we observe NS1 partitioning into the nucleus of RSV-infected cells, including the human airway epithelium. Nuclear NS1 coimmunoprecipitates with Mediator complex and is chromatin associated. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation demonstrates enrichment of NS1 that overlaps Mediator and transcription factor binding within the promoters and enhancers of differentially expressed genes during RSV infection. Mutation of the NS1 C-terminal helix reduces NS1 impact on host gene expression. These data suggest that nuclear NS1 alters host responses to RSV infection by binding at regulatory elements of immune response genes and modulating host gene transcription. Our study identifies another layer of regulation by virally encoded proteins that shapes host response and impacts immunity to RSV.

Structural basis for human respiratory syncytial virus NS1-mediated modulation of host responses

Project description:Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric, elderly, and immune compromised populations. A gap in our understanding of hRSVdisease pathology is the interplay between virally encoded immune antagonists and host components that limit hRSV replication. hRSV encodes for non-structural (NS) proteins that are important immune antagonists; however, the role of these proteins in viral pathogenesis is incompletely understood. Here we report the crystal structure of hRSV NS1 protein, which suggests that NS1 is a structural paralog of hRSV matrix (M) protein. Comparative analysis of the shared structural fold with M revealed regions unique to NS1. Studies on NS1 WT or mutant alone or in recombinant RSVs demonstrate that structural regions unique to NS1 contribute to modulation of host responses, including inhibition of type I IFN responses, suppression of dendritic cell maturation, and promotion of inflammatory responses. Transcriptional profiles of A549 cells infected with recombinant RSVs show significant differences in multiple host pathways, suggesting that NS1 may have a greater role in regulating host responses than previously appreciated. These results provide a framework to target NS1 for therapeutic development to limit hRSV associated morbidity and mortality.

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Non-Structural Protein NS1 enters the nucleus to disrupt gene transcription (RNA-seq)

Project description:Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Prior exposure to RSV affords little protection and many are susceptible to reinfection throughout life. Virally encoded non-structural (NS) protein 1 (NS1) is thought to modulate host responses in the cytosol. Here, we describe the nuclear localization of NS1 during RSV infection and a corresponding nuclear role in modulating host transcription. In support, we show that a significant proportion of NS1 is partitions to the nucleus and that NS1 alone is necessary and sufficient to translocate into the nucleus. NS1 co-localizes with exportin XPO1 and inhibition of XPO1 results in NS1 accumulation in the nucleus. Furthermore, nuclear NS1 is chromatin-associated and co-immunoprecipitates with Mediator complex proteins. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation demonstrates enrichment of NS1 binding overlapping Mediator and interferon-stimulated transcription factor binding sites that lie within regulatory elements of genes differentially expressed during RSV infection. Mutation of the unique alpha helix in NS1 enhances its repressive effect on host gene expression. Together, these data suggest that nuclear NS1 may alter host responses to RSV infection by binding at the promoters and enhancers of host immune response genes and disrupting host transcriptional regulators. Our study identifies yet another regulatory layer of interactions with RSV proteins that shapes host response to RSV and potentially impacts long-term immunity to RSV.
