Epigenetic Code of Host Chromosome Docking Sites for Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Latent Episomes

ABSTRACT: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genomes persist in latently infected cells as extrachromosomal plasmids that attach to host chromosomes through the tethering functions of EBNA1, a viral encoded sequence-specific DNA binding protein. Here we employed circular chromosome conformation capture (4C) analysis to identify genomewide associations between EBV episomes and host chromosomes. We found that EBV episomes in Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cells preferentially associate with EBNA1 sequence-specific DNA binding sites in the cellular genome that are also enriched for B-cell factors EBF1 and RBP-jK, the repressive histone mark H3K9me3, and surrounded by AT-rich sequence. These attachment sites corresponded to transcriptionally silenced genes with enrichment in neuronal function. Depletion of EBNA1 from EBV latently infected BL cells led to a transcriptional de-repression of these silenced genes. EBV attachment sites in lymphoblastoid cells (LCLs) showed different correlations, suggesting that latency types are functionally linked to the epigenetic environment of host chromosome attachment sites.

Identification of MEF2B, EBF1, and IL6R as chromosome bound targets of EBNA1 essential for EBV infected B-lymphocyte survival

Project description:EBNA1 is the EBV-encoded nuclear antigen required for viral episome maintenance during latency. EBNA1 is a sequence specific DNA binding protein with high affinity binding sites for the viral genome, especially OriP. EBNA1 can also bind sequence specifically to a large number of sites in the host cellular genome, but the function of these binding sites has remained elusive. EBNA1 is also known to provide a host cell survival function, but the molecular mechanisms accounting for this function are not completely understood. Here, we show by integrating ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq with experimental validation that MEF2B, IL6R, and EBF1 are high confidence target genes of EBNA1 that are essential for viability of B-lymphocytes latently infected with EBV. We show that EBNA1 binds to ~1000 sites with many, but not all, universally bound in different cell types, including Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We find that a large subset of EBNA1 binding sites are located proximal to transcription start sites and correlate genome-wide with transcription activity. EBNA1 bound to genes of high significance for B-cell growth and function, including MEF2B, IL6R, EBF1, RNF145, POU2F1, KDM4C, FGR, EGFR, LAIR, CDC7, CD44, and IL17A. EBNA1 depletion from latently infected LCLs results in the loss of cell proliferation, and the loss of gene expression for some EBNA1-bound genes, including MEF2B, EBF1, and IL6R. Depletion of MEF2B, EBF1, or IL6R partially phenocopies EBNA1-depletion by decreasing EBV-positive cell growth and viability. These findings indicate that EBNA1 binds to a large cohort of cellular genes important for cell viability, and implicates EBNA1 as a master coordinator of host cell gene expression important for enhanced survival of latently infected cells.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Host-Chromosome Binding Sites for Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1)

Project description:The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1) protein is required for the establishment of EBV latent infection in proliferating B-lymphocytes. EBNA1 is a multifunctional DNA-binding protein that stimulates DNA replication at the viral origin of plasmid replication (OriP), regulates transcription of viral and cellular genes, and tethers the viral episome to the cellular chromosome. EBNA1 also provides a survival function to B-lymphocytes, potentially through its ability to alter cellular gene expression. Chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) combined with massively parallel deep-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) was used to identify cellular sites bound by EBNA1. Sites identified by ChIP-Seq were validated by conventional real-time PCR, and ChIP-Seq provided quantitative, high-resolution detection of the known EBNA1 binding sites on the EBV genome at OriP and Qp. We identified at least one cluster of unusually high-affinity EBNA1 binding sites on chromosome 11, between the divergent FAM55D and FAM55B genes. A consensus for all cellular EBNA1 binding sites is distinct from those derived from the known viral binding sites, suggesting that some of these sites are indirectly bound by EBNA1. We conclude that EBNA1 can interact with a large number of cellular genes and chromosomal loci in latently infected cells, but that these sites are likely to represent a complex ensemble of direct and indirect EBNA1 binding sites.

A Multi-Omics Approach to Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Immortalization of B-Cells Reveals Viral-Induced Changes in Chromatin Accessibility and Nucleotide Metabolism

Project description:Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) immortalizes resting B-lymphocytes through a highly orchestrated process involving extensive reprogramming of host transcription and metabolism. Here, we use multiple omics-based approaches concurrently across the time course of B-cell infection to investigate the underlying mechanisms that control EBV-induced B-cell immortalization. ATAC-seq revealed that over a third of accessible chromatin is altered with the most perturbed sites overlapping Ets-family, including PU.1 and RUNX1 transcription factors. EBV nuclear antigens (EBNAs) clustered with different gene categories and RNA-seq identified the transcriptional response of these gene. Focusing on EBNA1 revealed a selection of gene targets involved in nucleotide metabolism. Metabolomics indicated that adenosine and purine metabolism are significantly altered by EBV immortalization, and we validated that adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a direct and critical target of EBNA1 and the EBV-directed immortalization process. These findings reveal that purine metabolism and ADA inhibitors may be a useful therapeutic for EBV-driven lymphoid cancers

The three-dimensional structure of the EBV genome plays a crucial role in regulating viral gene expression in EBVaGC [RNA-seq]

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes lifelong asymptomatic infection by replication of its chromatinized episomes with the host genome. EBV exhibits different latency-associated transcriptional repertoires, each with distinct three-dimensional structures. CTCF, Cohesin and PARP1 are involved in maintaining viral latency and establishing episome architecture. Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) represents 1.3% to 30.9% of all gastric cancers globally. EBV-positive gastric cancers exhibit an intermediate viral transcription profile known as "Latency II", expressing specific viral genes and noncoding RNAs. In this study, we investigated the impact of PARP1 inhibition on CTCF/Cohesin binding in Type II latency. We observed destabilization of the binding of both factors, leading to a disrupted three-dimensional architecture of the episomes and an altered viral gene expression. Despite sharing the same CTCF binding profile, Type I, II, and III latencies exhibit different 3D structures that correlate with variations in viral gene expression. Additionally, our analysis of H3K27ac-enriched interactions revealed differences between Type II latency episomes and a link to cellular transformation through docking of the EBV genome at specific sites of the Human genome, thus promoting oncogene expression. Overall, this work provides insights into the role of PARP1 in maintaining active latency and novel mechanisms of EBV-induced cellular transformation.
