Project description:Flaviviruses including dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) cause significant human disease. Co-opting cellular factors for viral protein translation and viral genome replication at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a shared replication strategy, despite different clinical outcomes. While the protein products of these viruses have been studied in depth, how the RNA genomes operate inside human cells is poorly understood. Using comprehensive identification of RNA binding proteins by mass spectrometry (ChIRP-MS), we took an RNA-centric viewpoint of flaviviral infection and identified several hundred proteins associated with both DENV and ZIKV genomic RNA inside human cells. Intersection with genome-scale knockout screens assigned putative functional relevance to the RNA-protein interactions. ER RNA binding proteins such vigilin and RRBP1 directly bound viral RNA and each operated at distinct points in the life cycle of flaviviruses. Thus, this versatile strategy can elucidate features of human biology that control pathogenesis of clinically relevant viruses.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection causes microcephaly and has been linked to other brain abnormalities. How ZIKV impairs brain development and function remains elusive. Here we systematically profiled transcriptomes of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) and astrocytes exposed to Asian ZIKVC, African ZIKVM, and Dengue virus (DENV). DENV causes distinct gene expression changes; and ZIKV has a broader impact on the expression of gene involved in DNA replication and repair. While overall expression profiles are similar, ZIKVC, but not ZIKVM, induces upregulation of viral response genes. Upon ZIKV infection, astrocytes exhibit more prominent transcriptome changes than hNPCs, particularly enriching genes related to inflammatory response and cytokine production pathways. Our analyses reveal cell-type- and strain-specific molecular signatures associated with ZIKV infection, and identify astrocytes as a major direct target of ZIKV. Further investigation of ZIKV-host interactions based our transcriptomic datasets may help to illuminate neural virulence determinants of ZIKV in patients.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are members of the Flaviviridae family of RNA viruses and cause severe disease in humans. ZIKV and DENV share over 90% of their genome sequences, however the clinical features of Zika and dengue infections are very different reflecting tropism and cellular effects. Here, we used simultaneous RNA sequencing and ribosome footprinting to define the transcriptional and translational dynamics of ZIKV and DENV infection in human neuronal progenitor cells (hNPCs). The gene expression data showed induction of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (ARS) and the translation-activating PIM1 kinase indicating an increase in RNA translation capacity. The data also reveal activation of different cell stress reponses, with ZIKV triggering a BACH1/2 redox program, and DENV activating the ETF/CHOP endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) stress program. The RNA translation data highlight activation of polyamine metabolism through changes in key enzymes and their regulators. This pathway is needed for eIF5A hypusination and has been implicated viral translation and replication. Concerning the viral RNA genomes, ribosome occupancy readily identifies highly translated open reading frames and a novel upstream ORF (uORF) in the DENV genome. Together, our data highlight both the cellular stress response and also the activation of RNA translation and polyamine metabolism during DENV and ZIKV infection.

Project description:Among the flaviviral proteins, NS5 is the largest and most conserved. NS5 contains major enzymatic components of the viral replication complex. Disruption of the common key NS5-host protein-protein interactions critical for viral replication could aid in the development of broad-spectrum anti-flaviviral therapeutics. To this end, we investigated the JEV- and ZIKV-NS5 interactomes in human cells using GFP pull-downs with mass spectrometry analysis in a label-free fashion. A total of 138 cellular proteins interacting with NS5 from JEV, ZIKV, or both were identified as Protein classification analysis of identified cellular targets revealed the enrichment of RNA binding, processing and splicing including spliceosomal and spliceosome-associated proteins in both datasets. Comparison of our data with literature not only revealed several cellular NS5 interacting proteins shared among flaviviruses, but also identified proteins that have no known function in flavivirus biology such as RNA polymerase II-associated Paf1 complex, protein phosphatase 6, and s-adenosylmethionine synthetase. Our study generates the first landscape of the JEV and ZIKV NS5 interactome in human cells and identifies cellular proteins that are potentially targetable for broad-spectrum anti-flaviviral therapy.

Project description:Dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are single-stranded (+)-sense RNA viruses that infect humans and mosquitoes, posing a significant health risk in tropical and subtropical regions. Mature virions are composed of an icosahedral shell of envelope (E) and membrane (M) proteins circumscribing a lipid bilayer, which in turn contains a complex of the approximately 11 kb genomic RNA with capsid (C) proteins. Whereas the structure of the envelope is clearly defined, the structure of the packaged genome in complex with C proteins remains elusive. Here, we investigate the interactions of C proteins with viral RNA, in solution and inside mature virions, via footprinting and cross-linking experiments. We demonstrate that C protein interactions with DENV and ZIKV genomes saturate at an RNA:C protein ratio below 1:250, and that binding site lengths on the genome exhibit a bimodal distribution, suggesting that RNA-C protein complexes occur in singlets or pairs. We show that interaction sites are preferentially sites with low base pairing, as measured by previously measured SHAPE reactivity indicating structuredness. We found no preference for specific sequence motifs or nucleotide composition. However, RNA-C protein binding sites are strongly associated with long-range RNA-RNA interaction sites, particularly inside virions. This helps to explain the need of C protein for viral genome packaging: the protein could coordinate those key interactions, promoting proper packing of viral RNA. Such sites are thus possible targets for drug development strategies against these and related viruses.

Project description:The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) can modulate mRNA fate and thus affect many biological processes. We analyzed m6A modification across the transcriptome following infection by dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). We found that infection by these viruses in the Flaviviridae family alters m6A modification of specific cellular transcripts, including RIOK3 and CIRBP. During viral infection, the addition of m6A to RIOK3 promotes its translation, while loss of m6A in CIRBP promotes alternative splicing. Importantly, we found that viral activation of innate immune sensing or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response contributes to the changes in m6A modification in RIOK3 and CIRBP, respectively. Further, several transcripts with infection-altered m6A profiles, including RIOK3 and CIRBP, encode proteins that influence DENV, ZIKV, and HCV infection. Overall, this work reveals that cellular signaling pathways activated during viral infection lead to alterations in m6A modification of host mRNAs to regulate infection.

Project description:Lipid metabolism is an intricate yet crucial cellular process co-opted by multiple viruses for replication and biogenesis. Transmembrane Protein 41B (TMEM41B) and Vacuole Membrane Protein 1 (VMP1) are two recently identified ER-resident lipid scramblases that play a role in autophagosome formation and cellular lipid metabolism. Importantly, TMEM41B is also a newly validated host dependency factor required for productive infection of several medically important enveloped RNA viruses, such as flaviviruses and human coronaviruses. However, the exact underlying mechanism of TMEM414B in modulating viral infections remains an open question. Here, we uncovered that TMEM41B and VMP1 deficiencies severely impaired replication of flavivirus and human coronavirus via multiple parallel cellular mechanisms. In accordance with previous reports, we validated that both TMEM41B and VMP1 are indispensable for all four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV) and human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) to infect human cells, but not chikungunya virus, an alphavirus. Impaired dengue virus replication in TMEM41B and VMP1 deficient cells could induce a robust activation of innate immune RNA sensing as evidenced by hyperactivation of RIG-I and MDA5. However, this phenomenon was a consequence but not the root cause of the diminished viral replication. Notably, the impact of TMEM41B deficiency on DENV replication could be reversed by complementing the cells using exogenous unsaturated fatty acids, indicating a metabolic role for TMEM41B in flavivirus infection. Furthermore, we found that derailed cellular energy metabolism could be a contributing factor to block DENV infection as TMEM41B and VMP1 deficient cells harbored higher levels of compromised mitochondria that exhibited aberrant functions in facilitating beta-oxidation. Using lipidome and metabolome profiling of TMEM41B and VMP1 deficient cells, we further revealed that each of these genetic deficiencies result in distinctive cellular metabolic dysregulations, underlining their necessity for a balanced metabolic landscape, and strengthening the metabolic role of these ER membrane proteins in facilitating virus infection. Our results highlighted that TMEM41B and VMP1 are required for homeostasis of cellular metabolism, and this metabolic role contributes to their essentiality in facilitating DENV infection.

Project description:Mosquitoes transmit many flaviviruses of global public health significance. Efficient viral transmission to mammalian hosts requires mosquito salivary factors that modulate local host responses, such as recruitment of virus-permissive myeloid cells to the bite sites. However, the specific salivary components facilitating viral transmission and their mechanisms of action remain largely unknown. Here, we showed that a female mosquito salivary gland-specific protein, named Aedes aegypti Neutrophil Recruitment Protein (AaNRP), acts as a key salivary component to facilitate the transmission of Zika (ZIKV) and dengue (DENV) viruses. AaNRP promotes a rapid influx of neutrophils followed by virus-susceptible myeloid cells toward mosquito bite sites, which facilitate establishment of local infection and systemic dissemination. Mechanistically, AaNRP engages TLR1 and TLR4 of skin resident macrophages and activates MyD88-dependent NF-κB signaling to induce the expression of neutrophil chemoattractants. Inhibition of MyD88-NF-κB with dietary resveratrol, a phytochemical, neutralizes the AaNRP effects, thus reducing flavivirus transmission by mosquitoes. This study offers mechanistic insight into saliva-aided viral transmission and provides a potential prophylactic target.
