N6-Methyladenosine Modification of Hepatitis B Virus RNA Differentially Regulates The Viral Life Cycle

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is the most abundant epitranscriptomic modification of eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Previous reports have found m6A on both cellular and viral transcripts and defined its role in regulating numerous biological processes, including viral infection. Here, we show that m6A and its associated machinery regulate the life cycle of hepatitis B virus (HBV). HBV is a DNA virus that completes its life cycle via an RNA intermediate, termed pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). Silencing of enzymes that catalyze the addition of m6A to RNA resulted in increased HBV protein expression, but overall reduced reverse transcription of the pgRNA. We mapped the m6A site in the HBV RNA and found that a conserved m6A consensus motif situated within epsilon (stem loop structure is the site for m6A modification. The epsilon stem loop is located in the 3’ terminus of all HBV mRNAs and both termini (5’ and 3’) of the pgRNA. Mutational analysis of the identified m6A site in the 5’ epsilon stem loop of pgRNA revealed that m6A at this site is required for efficient reverse transcription of pgRNA, while m6A of the 3’ epsilon stem loop results in destabilization of all HBV transcripts, suggesting that m6A has dual regulatory functions in pgRNA. Overall, this study reveals how m6A regulates HBV gene expression and reverse transcription, leading to a new level of understanding of the HBV life cycle. .

The cytoplasmic LSm1-7 and nuclear LSm2-8 complexes exert opposite effects on Hepatitis B virus biosynthesis and interferon response

Project description:Viruses employ various strategies to evade innate immunity. Despite many studies on host or viral gene expression, how the cellular proteome responds to internal or external cues, has not been fully investigated. Using a Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) replication model, we performed proteomic analyses of HBV-replicating cells in G1/S and G2/M phases, as a function of IFN-alpha, providing specific information of how HBV infection, in combination with IFN-alpha, alters the hepatocyte proteome. We identified the conserved LSm (Like-Sm1-8) proteins were differentially expressed as a function of HBV replication and IFN-alpha. Specifically, in G2/M, IFN-alpha increased protein level of LSm1, the unique subunit of cytoplasmic LSm1-7 complex involved in mRNA decay. By contrast, IFN-alpha decreased LSm8, the unique subunit of nuclear LSm2-8 complex, a chaperone of U6 spliceosomal RNA. These results suggest cytoplasmic LSm1-7 has antiviral role, whereas nuclear LSm2-8 complex is pro-viral. Employing HBV replication and infection models, siRNA-mediated knockdown of LSm1 increased the level of all viral RNAs. Conversely, knockdown of LSm8 reduced viral RNA levels, dependent on N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) of the epsilon stem-loop at the 5 end of pre-Core/pregenomic (preC/pg) RNA. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) assays demonstrated reduced viral RNA methylation upon LSm8 knockdown, dependent on the m6A modification, suggesting the LSm2-8 complex has a role in mediating this modification. Interestingly, splicing inhibitor Cp028 acting upstream of LSm2-8 complex, suppressed levels of viral RNAs without reducing the m6A modification. This observation suggests Cp028 has novel antiviral effects, likely potentiating IFN-alpha -mediated suppression of HBV biosynthesis.

Epitranscriptomic cytidine methylation of the Hepatitis B viral RNA encapsidation signal ensure the reverse transcription of viral RNA [PA-m5C-seq 2]

Project description:Epitranscriptomic RNA modifications have emerged as important regulators of the fate and function of both cellular and viral RNAs. One prominent modification, the cytidine methylation 5-methylcytidine (m5C), is found on the RNA of HIV-1, where m5C enhances the translation and splicing of HIV-1 RNA. However, whether m5C functionally enhances the RNA of other pathogenic viruses remain elusive. Here, we report that the RNA of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is enriched with a high level of m5C, mediated mainly through the cellular methyltransferase NSUN2. Intrigingly, the most prominent cluster of NSUN2-deposited m5C is found on the epsilon hairpin, an RNA element required for viral RNA encapsidation and reverse transcription. Loss of m5C from HBV RNA due to depletion of NSUN2 resulted in a modest decrease in viral capsid protein (HBc) translation, yet this is accompaneied by a near-complete loss of the reverse transcribed viral DNA. Similarly, mutations introduced to remove the methylated cytidines resulted in a translation decrease and block of reverse transcription. Furthermore, pharmacological disruption of m5C deposition with a nucleoside analogue led to a significant decrease in HBV replication. Thus, our data indicates m5C methylations is a critical enhancer of the epsilon element in HBV reverse transcription. Our study suggests the theraputic potential of targeting the m5C methyltransfer process on the HBV 5’epsilon as an alternative antiviral stratagy.

Hepatitis B Core Protein is Posttranslationally Modified through K29-linked Ubiquitination

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein (HBc) plays many roles in the HBV life cycle such as regulation of transcription, RNA encapsidation, reverse transcription and viral release. To accomplish these functions, HBc interacts with many host proteins and undergoes different posttranslational modifications (PTMs). One of the most common PTM is ubiquitination that was shown to change function, stability, and intracellular localization of different viral proteins, but the role of HBc ubiquitination in the HBV life cycle remains unknown. Here, we found that HBc protein is posttranslationally modified through K29-linked ubiquitination. We performed a series of co-immunoprecipitation experiments with wild type HBc, lysine to arginine HBc mutants and wild type ubiquitin, single lysine to arginine ubiquitin mutants or single ubiquitin-accepting lysine constructs. We observed that HBc protein could be modified by ubiquitination in transfected as well as infected hepatoma cells. In addition, ubiquitination predominantly occurred on HBc lysine 7 and the preferred ubiquitin chain linkage was through ubiquitin-K29. Mass spectrometry (MS) analyses detected UBR5 as a potential E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in K29-linked ubiquitination. These findings emphasize that ubiquitination of HBc may play an important role in HBV life cycle.

Biotin-pgRNAWT or Biotin-pgRNAAUUUA to AUCUC RNA pulldown LC-MS/MS

Project description:The nuclear export of HBV RNAs allows the virus to synthesize its proteins through the translation machinery and replicate its genome through reverse transcription in the cytoplasm. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this important process remain largely obscure. To illustrate this process, we took advantage of an unbiased HBV RNA-host protein interaction screen using a quantitative proteomics approach and identified embryonic lethal, abnormal vision, Drosophila-like 1 (ELAVL1) as a viral RNA binding partner. RNA scope and subcellular mRNA assays indicated that genetic and pharmaceutic inhibition of ELAVL1 inhibits HBV RNA nuclear export and suppresses viral replication in cell cultures. The observations of an HBV replication mouse model with ELAVL1 displayed similar results. RNA pulldown and RNA electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed direct interaction between ELAVL1 and HBV pgRNA and confirmed AU-rich elements as the binding sites through site-directed mutagenesis of pgRNA. RNA-immunoprecipitation revealed that HBV RNAs associate with ELAVL1, which in turn binds to acidic leucine-rich nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family member A (ANP32A) and ANP32B. These interactions subsequently recruit CRM1. A nuclear RNase-targeted siRNA screen uncovered RNA exosome-mediated degradation of retardant HBV RNA after ELAVL1 or CRM1 knockdown. Further investigation revealed that ELAVL1 protects pgRNA from degradation. Notably, HBc deletion had no effect on pgRNA-CRM1 interaction and HBV RNA nuclear export. In summary, our work indicates that ELAVL1 functions both in HBV RNA stability and nucleocytoplasmic transport via the CRM1 nuclear export pathway.

Genome-wide analysis of histone methylation reveals chromatin state-based regulation of host cellular gene expression induced by hepatitis B viruses (ChIP-Seq dataset)

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a hepatotropic virus that can regulate many host cellular gene expressions participating in the HBV life cycle, liver inflammation and hepatocellular injury. However, the underlying mechanism of differential gene expression is not understood. We report here a genome-wide analysis of histone methylation on two histone H3 lysine residues (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) and gene expression profiles in HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells. We found that specific correlation exists between gene expression and the amounts of H3K4me3 (positive correlation) and H3K27me3 (negative correlation) across the gene body. These correlations displayed three distinct modes (repressive, active and poised), reflecting different functions of these genes in the HBV life cycle, liver inflammation and hepatocellular injury. Furthermore, a permissive chromatin state of each gene was established by a combination of different histone modifications. Our findings reveal a complex regulation by histone methylation in differential gene expression and suggest that histone methylation may be responsible for the HBV life cycle, liver inflammation and hepatocellular injury induced by HBV. Examination of 2 different histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K27me3) in 2 cell types (HepG2, HepG2.2.15).

An antibody independent verification method quantifies m6A in the chicken β-actin zipcode

Project description:N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNA regulates almost every stage in the mRNA life cycle, and the development of the high throughput detection of methylated sites in mRNA using MeRIPSeq or miCLIP revolutionized the m6A research field. Both methods are based on immunoprecipitation of fragmented mRNA. However, it is well documented that antibodies often have nonspecific activities, thus verification of identified m6A sites using an antibody-independent method would be highly desirable. Currently such approaches are limited. Here we present RedBaron, an improved biochemical method for the site-specific detection and quantification of m6A in RNA. We demonstrate that the RedBaron method is able to accurately quantify m6A levels at specific transcripts in vivo. We used this assay for the site-specific detection and quantification of m6A within the chicken β-actin (ACTB) zipcode sequence in chicken embryos and in fibroblast cells. We demonstrate that methylation of this site in the β-actin zipcode enhances ZBP1 binding in vitro, whilst methylation of a nearby adenosine abolishes
