ANXA2 Facilitates Enterovirus 71 Infection by Interacting with 3D Polymerase and PI4KB to Assist the Assembly of Replication Organelles.

ABSTRACT: Similar to that of other enteroviruses, the replication of enterovirus 71 (EV71) occurs on rearranged membranous structures called replication organelles (ROs). Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase III (PI4KB), which is required by enteroviruses for RO formation, yields phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) on ROs. PI4P then binds and induces conformational changes in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) to modulate RdRp activity. Here, we targeted 3D polymerase, the core enzyme of EV71 ROs, and found that the host factor Annexin A2 (ANXA2) can interact with 3D polymerase and promote the replication of EV71. Then, an experiment showed that the annexin domain of ANXA2, which possesses membrane-binding capacity, mediates the interaction of ANXA2 with EV71 3D polymerase. Further research showed that ANXA2 is localized on ROs and interacts with PI4KB. Overexpression of ANXA2 stimulated the formation of PI4P, and the level of PI4P was decreased in ANXA2-knockout cells. Furthermore, ANXA2, PI4KB, and 3D were shown to be localized to the viral RNA replication site, where they form a higher-order protein complex, and the presence of ANXA2 promoted the PI4KB-3D interaction. Altogether, our data provide new insight into the role of ANXA2 in facilitating formation of the EV71 RNA replication complex.

Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that viruses hijack cellular proteins to circumvent the host immune system. Ubiquitination and SUMOylation are extensively studied posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that play critical roles in diverse biological processes. Cross talk between ubiquitination and SUMOylation of both host and viral proteins has been reported to result in distinct functional consequences. Enterovirus 71 (EV71), an RNA virus belonging to the family Picornaviridae, is a common cause of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Little is known concerning how host PTM systems interact with enteroviruses. Here, we demonstrate that the 3D protein, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of EV71, is modified by small ubiquitin-like modifier 1 (SUMO-1) both during infection and in vitro Residues K159 and L150/D151/L152 were responsible for 3D SUMOylation as determined by bioinformatics prediction combined with site-directed mutagenesis. Also, primer-dependent polymerase assays indicated that mutation of SUMOylation sites impaired 3D polymerase activity and virus replication. Moreover, 3D is ubiquitinated in a SUMO-dependent manner, and SUMOylation is crucial for 3D stability, which may be due to the interplay between the two PTMs. Importantly, increasing the level of SUMO-1 in EV71-infected cells augmented the SUMOylation and ubiquitination levels of 3D, leading to enhanced replication of EV71. These results together suggested that SUMO and ubiquitin cooperatively regulated EV71 infection, either by SUMO-ubiquitin hybrid chains or by ubiquitin conjugating to the exposed lysine residue through SUMOylation. Our study provides new insight into how a virus utilizes cellular pathways to facilitate its replication.ImportanceInfection with enterovirus 71 (EV71) often causes neurological diseases in children, and EV71 is responsible for the majority of fatalities. Based on a better understanding of interplay between virus and host cell, antiviral drugs against enteroviruses may be developed. As a dynamic cellular process of posttranslational modification, SUMOylation regulates global cellular protein localization, interaction, stability, and enzymatic activity. However, little is known concerning how SUMOylation directly influences virus replication by targeting viral polymerase. Here, we found that EV71 polymerase 3D was SUMOylated during EV71 infection and in vitro Moreover, the SUMOylation sites were determined, and in vitro polymerase assays indicated that mutations at SUMOylation sites could impair polymerase synthesis. Importantly, 3D is ubiquitinated in a SUMOylation-dependent manner that enhances the stability of the viral polymerase. Our findings indicate that the two modifications likely cooperatively enhance virus replication. Our study may offer a new therapeutic strategy against virus replication.

Project description:Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a major pathogen that causes hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in infants and children. Notably, no clinically approved drugs specifically target EV71. The EV71 2A protease (2Apro), a cysteine protease produced by the virus, is essential for the virus' replication and has a significant impact on the functioning of host cells. Thus, it presents a valuable target for the discovery of antiviral medications. In this study, based on the monomers and their derivatives in the Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we performed virtual screening and biological experiments. We identified a derivative of a traditional herbal monomer, Etoposide, commonly isolated from the roots and rhizomes of Podophyllum spp. Etoposide inhibited replication of EV71 A, B, C, and CVA16 viruses in a concentration-dependent manner in a variety of cell lines with minimal cytotoxicity. Furthermore, both molecular dynamics simulations and site-directed mutagenesis assays revealed that Etoposide inhibited the activity of the EV71 2A protease by mainly binding to two residues, Y89 and P107. The findings indicate that Etoposide serves as a promising inhibitor of the EV71 2Apro, demonstrating strong antiviral properties and positioning itself as a formidable candidate for clinical trials against EV71.IMPORTANCEWe first used a drug screening approach focused on monomeric compounds and their derivatives from traditional Chinese medicine to identify an EV71 2Apro inhibitor-Etoposide. We then performed biological experiments to validate that Etoposide suppresses the replication of the EV71 virus in a concentration-dependent manner with minimal cytotoxicity to various cell lines. Remarkably, it shows inhibitory activity against EV71 A, B, C, and CVA16, suggesting that Etoposide may be a potential broad-spectrum inhibitor. We revealed a novel mechanism that Etoposide inhibits EV71 proliferation by targeting 2Apro, and the interactions with Y89 and P107 are of great importance. The findings suggest that Etoposide serves as a promising inhibitor of EV71 2Apro, demonstrating significant antiviral properties. It stands out as a strong candidate for broad-spectrum applications in clinical research.
