Project description:<h4>Unlabelled</h4>Infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is a key regulator in both lytic and latent infections. In lytic infection, an important early event is the colocalization of ICP0 to nuclear domain 10 (ND10), the discrete nuclear bodies that impose restrictions on viral expression. ICP0 contains an E3 ubiquitin ligase that degrades promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) and Sp100, two major components of ND10, and disperses ND10 to alleviate repression. We previously reported that the association between ICP0 and ND10 is a dynamic process that includes three steps: adhesion, fusion, and retention. ICP0 residues 245 to 474, defined as ND10 entry signal (ND10-ES), is a region required for the fusion step. Without ND10-ES, ICP0 adheres at the ND10 surface but fails to enter. In the present study, we focus on characterizing ND10-ES. Here we report the following. (i) Fusion of ICP0 with ND10 relies on specific sequences located within ND10-ES. Replacement of ND10-ES by the corresponding region from ORF61 of varicella-zoster virus did not rescue ND10 fusion. (ii) Three tandem ND10 fusion segments (ND10-FS1, ND10-FS2, and ND10-FS3), encompassing 200 amino acids within ND10-ES, redundantly facilitate fusion. Each of the three segments is sufficient to independently drive the fusion process, but none of the segments by themselves are necessary for ND10 fusion. Only when all three segments are deleted is fusion blocked. (iii) The SUMO interaction motif located within ND10-FS2 is not required for ND10 fusion but is required for the complete degradation of PML, suggesting that PML degradation and ND10 fusion are regulated by different molecular mechanisms.<h4>Importance</h4>ND10 nuclear bodies are part of the cell-intrinsic antiviral defenses that restrict viral gene expression upon virus infection. As a countermeasure, infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) localizes to ND10s, degrades the ND10 organizer, and disperses ND10 components in order to alleviate repression. We studied the ICP0-ND10 association to delineate elements important for this dynamic interaction and to understand its role in viral replication and host defense. In this work, we show that ICP0 contains three redundant segments to ensure an effective mergence of ICP0 with ND10 nuclear bodies. This is the first study to systematically investigate ICP0 elements that are important for ICP0-ND10 fusion.

Project description:Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) immediate-early gene product ICP0 activates lytic infection and relieves cell-mediated repression of viral gene expression. This repression is conferred by preexisting cellular proteins and is commonly referred to as intrinsic antiviral resistance or intrinsic defense. PML and Sp100, two core components of nuclear substructures known as ND10 or PML nuclear bodies, contribute to intrinsic resistance, but it is clear that other proteins must also be involved. We have tested the hypothesis that additional ND10 factors, particularly those that are involved in chromatin remodeling, may have roles in intrinsic resistance against HSV-1 infection. The two ND10 component proteins investigated in this report are ATRX and hDaxx, which are known to interact with each other and comprise components of a repressive chromatin-remodeling complex. We generated stable cell lines in which endogenous ATRX or hDaxx expression is severely suppressed by RNA interference. We found increases in both gene expression and plaque formation induced by ICP0-null mutant HSV-1 in both ATRX- and hDaxx-depleted cells. Reconstitution of wild-type hDaxx expression reversed the effects of hDaxx depletion, but reconstitution with a mutant form of hDaxx unable to interact with ATRX did not. Our results suggest that ATRX and hDaxx act as a complex that contributes to intrinsic antiviral resistance to HSV-1 infection, which is counteracted by ICP0.

Project description:Components of promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) nuclear bodies (ND10) are recruited to sites associated with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) genomes soon after they enter the nucleus. This cellular response is linked to intrinsic antiviral resistance and is counteracted by viral regulatory protein ICP0. We report that the SUMO interaction motifs of PML, Sp100 and hDaxx are required for recruitment of these repressive proteins to HSV-1 induced foci, which also contain SUMO conjugates and PIAS2?, a SUMO E3 ligase. SUMO modification of PML and elements of its tripartite motif (TRIM) are also required for recruitment in cells lacking endogenous PML. Mutants of PML isoform I and hDaxx that are not recruited to virus induced foci are unable to reproduce the repression of ICP0 null mutant HSV-1 infection mediated by their wild type counterparts. We conclude that recruitment of ND10 components to sites associated with HSV-1 genomes reflects a cellular defence against invading pathogen DNA that is regulated through the SUMO modification pathway.

Project description:Herpes simplex virus (HSV) immediate-early protein ICP0 is a transcriptional activator with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity that induces the degradation of ND10 proteins, including the promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) and Sp100. Moreover, ICP0 has a role in the derepression of viral genomes and in the modulation of the host interferon response to virus infection. Here, we report that ICP0 interacts with SIAH-1, a cellular E3 ubiquitin ligase that is involved in multiple cellular pathways and is itself capable of mediating PML degradation. This novel virus-host interaction profoundly stabilized SIAH-1 and recruited this cellular E3 ligase into ICP0-containing nuclear bodies. Moreover, SIAH-1 mediated the polyubiquitination of HSV ICP0 in vitro and in vivo. After infection of SIAH-1 knockdown cells with HSV, higher levels of ICP0 were produced, ICP0 was less ubiquitinated, and the half-life of this multifunctional viral regulatory protein was increased. These results indicate an inhibitory role of SIAH-1 during lytic infection by targeting ICP0 for proteasomal degradation.

Project description:Infections with DNA viruses commonly result in the association of viral genomes and replication compartments with cellular nuclear substructures known as promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) nuclear bodies or ND10. While there is evidence that viral genomes can associate with preexisting ND10, we demonstrate in this study by live-cell microscopy that structures resembling ND10 form de novo and in association with viral genome complexes during the initial stages of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection. Consistent with previous studies, we found that the major ND10 proteins PML, Sp100, and hDaxx are exchanged very rapidly between ND10 foci and the surrounding nucleoplasm in live cells. The dynamic nature of the individual protein molecule components of ND10 provides a mechanism by which ND10 proteins can be recruited to novel sites during virus infection. These observations explain why the genomes and replication compartments of DNA viruses that replicate in the cell nucleus are so commonly found in association with ND10. These findings are discussed with reference to the nature, location, and potential number of HSV-1 prereplication compartments and to the dynamic aspects of HSV-1 genomes and viral products during the early stages of lytic infection.

Project description:Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) immediate-early protein ICP0 is required for efficient lytic infection and productive reactivation from latency and induces derepression of quiescent viral genomes. Despite being unrelated at the sequence level, ICP0 and human cytomegalovirus proteins IE1 and pp71 share some functional similarities in their abilities to counteract antiviral restriction mediated by components of cellular nuclear structures known as ND10. To investigate the extent to which IE1 and pp71 might substitute for ICP0, cell lines were developed that express either IE1 or pp71, or both together, in an inducible manner. We found that pp71 dissociated the hDaxx-ATRX complex and inhibited accumulation of these proteins at sites juxtaposed to HSV-1 genomes but had no effect on the promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) or Sp100. IE1 caused loss of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-conjugated forms of PML and Sp100 and inhibited the recruitment of these proteins to HSV-1 genome foci but had little effect on hDaxx or ATRX in these assays. Both IE1 and pp71 stimulated ICP0-null mutant plaque formation, but neither to the extent achieved by ICP0. The combination of IE1 and pp71, however, inhibited recruitment of all ND10 proteins to viral genome foci, stimulated ICP0-null mutant HSV-1 plaque formation to near wild-type levels, and efficiently induced derepression of quiescent HSV-1 genomes. These results suggest that ND10-related intrinsic resistance results from the additive effects of several ND10 components and that the effects of IE1 and pp71 on subsets of these components combine to mirror the overall activities of ICP0.

Project description:The initial events after DNA virus infection involve a race between epigenetic silencing of the incoming viral DNA by host cell factors and expression of viral genes. Several host gene products, including the nuclear domain 10 (ND10) components PML (promyelocytic leukemia) and Daxx (death domain-associated protein 6), as well as IFI16 (interferon-inducible protein 16), have been shown to restrict herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) replication. Whether IFI16 and ND10 components work together or separately to restrict HSV-1 replication is not known. To determine the combinatorial effects of IFI16 and ND10 proteins on viral infection, we depleted Daxx or PML in primary human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) in the presence or absence of IFI16. Daxx or IFI16 depletion resulted in higher ICP0 mutant viral yields, and the effects were additive. Surprisingly, small interfering RNA (siRNA) depletion of PML in the HFF cells led to decreased ICP0-null virus replication, while short hairpin RNA (shRNA) depletion led to increased ICP0-null virus replication, arguing that different PML isoforms or PML-related proteins may have restrictive or proviral functions. In normal human cells, viral DNA replication increases expression of all classes of HSV-1 genes. We observed that IFI16 repressed transcription from both parental and progeny DNA genomes. Taken together, our results show that the mechanisms of action of IFI16 and ND10 proteins are independent, at least in part, and that IFI16 exerts restrictive effects on both input and replicated viral genomes. These results raise the potential for distinct mechanisms of action of IFI16 on parental and progeny viral DNA molecules.IMPORTANCE Many human DNA viruses transcribe their genomes and replicate in the nucleus of a host cell, where they exploit the host cell nuclear machinery for their own replication. Host factors attempt to restrict viral replication by blocking such events, and viruses have evolved mechanisms to neutralize the host restriction factors. In this study, we provide information about the mechanisms of action of three host cell factors that restrict replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV). We found that these factors function independently and that one acts to restrict viral transcription from parental and progeny viral DNA genomes. These results provide new information about how cells counter DNA virus replication in the nucleus and provide possible approaches to enhance the ability of human cells to resist HSV infection.

Project description:Nuclear domain 10 (ND10) bodies are small (0.1-1 ?M) nuclear structures containing both constant [e.g., promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML), SP100, death domain-associated protein (Daxx)] and variable proteins, depending on the function of the cells or the stress to which they are exposed. In herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected cells, ND10 bodies assemble at the sites of DNA entering the nucleus after infection. In sequence, the ND10 bodies become viral replication compartments, and ICP0, a viral E3 ligase, degrades both PML and SP100. The amounts of PML and SP100 and the number of ND10 structures increase in cells exposed to IFN-?. Earlier studies have shown that PML has three key functions. Thus, (i) the interaction of PML with viral components facilitates the initiation of replication compartments, (ii) viral replication is significantly less affected by IFN-? in PML-/- cells than in parental PML+/+ cells, and (iii) viral yields are significantly lower in PML-/- cells exposed to low ratios of virus per cell compared with parental PML+/+ cells. This report focuses on the function of SP100. In contrast to PML-/- cells, SP100-/- cells retain the sensitivity of parental SP100+/+ cells to IFN-? and support replication of the ?ICP0 virus. At low multiplicities of infection, wild-type virus yields are higher in SP100-/- cells than in parental HEp-2 cells. In addition, the number of viral replication compartments is significantly higher in SP100-/- cells than in parental SP100+/+ cells or in PML-/- cells.

Project description:During the early stages of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, viral immediate-early regulatory protein ICP0 localizes to and disrupts cellular nuclear structures known as PML nuclear bodies or ND10. These activities correlate with the functions of ICP0 in stimulating lytic infection and reactivating quiescent HSV-1. The disruption of ND10 occurs because ICP0 induces the loss of the SUMO-1-modified forms of PML and the subsequent proteasome-mediated degradation of the PML protein. The functions of ICP0 are largely dependent on the integrity of its zinc-binding RING finger domain. Many RING finger proteins have been found to act as ubiquitin E3 ligase enzymes, stimulating the production of conjugated polyubiquitin chains in the presence of ubiquitin, the ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1, and the appropriate E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. Substrate proteins that become polyubiquitinated are then subject to degradation by proteasomes. We have previously shown that purified full-length ICP0 acts as an efficient E3 ligase in vitro, producing high-molecular-weight polyubiquitin chains in a RING finger-dependent but substrate-independent manner. In this paper we report on investigations into the factors governing the degradation of PML induced by ICP0 in a variety of in vivo and in vitro assays. We found that ICP0 expression increases the levels of ubiquitinated PML in transfected cells. However, ICP0 does not interact with or directly ubiquitinate either unmodified PML or SUMO-1-modified PML in vitro, suggesting either that additional factors are required for the ICP0-mediated ubiquitination of PML in vivo or that PML degradation is an indirect consequence of some other activity of ICP0 at ND10. Using a transfection-based approach and a family of deletion and point mutations of PML, we found that efficient ICP0-induced PML degradation requires sequences within the C-terminal part of PML and lysine residue 160, one of the principal targets for SUMO-1 modification of the protein.

Project description:Intrinsic antiviral resistance mediated by constitutively expressed cellular proteins is one arm of defence against virus infection. Promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs, also known as ND10) contribute to host restriction of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) replication via mechanisms that are counteracted by viral regulatory protein ICP0. ND10 assembly is dependent on PML, which comprises several different isoforms, and depletion of all PML isoforms decreases cellular resistance to ICP0-null mutant HSV-1. We report that individual expression of PML isoforms I and II partially reverses the increase in ICP0-null mutant HSV-1 plaque formation that occurs in PML-depleted cells. This activity of PML isoform I is dependent on SUMO modification, its SUMO interaction motif (SIM), and each element of its TRIM domain. Detailed analysis revealed that the punctate foci formed by individual PML isoforms differ subtly from normal ND10 in terms of composition and/or Sp100 modification. Surprisingly, deletion of the SIM motif from PML isoform I resulted in increased colocalisation with other major ND10 components in cells lacking endogenous PML. Our observations suggest that complete functionality of PML is dependent on isoform-specific C-terminal sequences acting in concert.
