Nuclear RPSA triggers R-loop accumulation to induce cell death against RNA viral infection

ABSTRACT: While RNA viruses evade host immune responses by perturbing transcriptional and translational machinery, the host organism counteracts viral invasion through activation of regulated cell death pathways. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying host-initiated cell death activation in response to viral infection remain poorly characterized. By genome-wide screening, we identified ribosomal protein RPSA as a broad inducer of RNA virus replication-dependent cell death that confers antiviral protection. Rpsa conditional knockout mice exhibited heightened susceptibility to RNA viruses with attenuated cell death activation in infected tissues. Mechanistically, RNA virus infection triggers K29-linked polyubiquitination of RPSA, which strengthens its binding to the helicase domain of NAT10 and potently inhibits NAT10's helicase activity, thereby blocking R-loop resolution. The resulting R-loop accumulation drives DNA damage-mediated cell death execution. Our findings uncover a novel intranuclear "inside-out" R-loop-driven cell death pathway orchestrated by RPSA, providing fresh insights into virus-host interactions and identifying potential therapeutic targets for RNA viral infections.

Acetylation of cytidines by NAT10 enhances HIV-1 replication through stabilization of viral RNA

Project description:As obligate parasites, viruses need to navigate a variety of cellular regulatory systems while infecting and replicating in the host cell. Post-transcriptional modifications have recently emerged as an important layer of regulation of viral RNA function. For example, our lab and others have shown that the RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) can enhance the replication of multiple viruses in cis, including Human Immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), Influenza A virus, SV40 and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Recent reports have revealed the presence of another RNA modification, N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) on cellular mRNAs and have shown that ac4C can enhance mRNA stability and translation. Here, we demonstrate that ac4C is present at multiple sites on HIV-1 mRNAs and on the viral genomic RNA. Through ac4C RNA immunoprecipitation (RNA-IP) and RNA-seq, we found ac4C on HIV-1 mRNAs as well as the virion genomic RNA, with ac4C sites in the coding regions of the pol, env, nef genes, and the trans-activation response (TAR) hairpin. Phenotypically, we observe that increasing the expression level of the ac4C acetyltransferase NAT10 leads to an increase in viral replication that is dependent on the RNA binding and enzymatic domains of NAT10. Moreover, both CRISPR-depletion of NAT10 (ΔNAT10) and treatment with the small molecule NAT10 inhibitor Remodelin, diminishes HIV-1 replication in T cells. Lastly, silent mutations introduced to prevent ac4C deposition on the viral genome indeed diminished HIV-1 replication. Our data suggest that HIV-1 has evolved to incorporate ac4C in essential viral gene coding regions and regulatory RNA structures, and that NAT10-dependent ac4C addition enhances HIV-1 replication.

Virus-induced codon-specific reprogramming to favor viral RNA translation

Project description:How viruses, such as the emerging mosquito-borne Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), express their genomes at high levels despite an enrichment in suboptimal codons remains a puzzling question. By integrating subcellular fractionation and transcriptome-wide analyses of translation in CHIKV-infected human cells, we demonstrate an unanticipated virus-induced reprogramming of the host translation machinery to favor translation of viral RNA over cellular genes featuring optimal codon usage. This reprogramming was specifically apparent at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the preferred translation compartment of CHIKV RNA, and it is mediated by the wobble uridine 34 tRNA modification enzyme KIAA1456 whose expression is enhanced upon viral infection. Since KIAA1456 itself is encoded by a CHIKV-like codon usage, infection triggers a positive feed-back loop that ensures efficient virus protein production. Our findings demonstrate an unprecedented interplay of viruses with the host tRNA epitranscriptome to favor viral protein expression.

Proteomic Analysis of Measles Virus Protein C-Host Interactions in an Infectious Context Using Recombinant Viruses

Project description:Viruses manipulate central machineries of host cells to their advantage. They prevent host cell antiviral responses in order to create a favourable environment for their survival and propagation. Measles virus (MV) encodes two non-structural proteins MV-V and MV-C, proposed to counteract the host interferon response and to regulate cell death pathways in various functional assays. Several molecular mechanisms underlining MV-V regulation of innate immunity and cell death responses have been proposed, whereas MV-C host protein partners are less studied. We suggest that some cellular factors that are controlled by MV-C protein during viral replication could be components of innate immunity and the cell death pathways. In order to determine which host factors are hijacked by MV-C, we captured both direct and indirect host protein partners of MV-C protein. For this we used a strategy based on recombinant viruses expressing tagged viral proteins followed by affinity purification and a bottom-up mass spectrometry analysis. A list of host proteins specifically interacting with MV-C protein in different cell lines was identified.

HUMAN-VIRUS CHIMERIC PROTEINS GENERATED DURING INFECTION

Project description:RNA viruses are a major threat to global human health. The life cycles of many highly pathogenic RNA viruses like influenza A virus (IAV) and Lassa virus depends on host mRNA, as viral polymerases cleave 5′m7G-capped host transcripts to prime viral mRNA synthesis (‘cap-snatching’). We hypothesized that start codons within cap-snatched host transcripts could drive the expression of chimeric human-viral coding sequences. Here, we report the existence of this mechanism of gene origination (‘start-snatching’), which creates, depending on the translatability of the viral UTRs, human-virus protein chimeras either as N-terminally extended viral proteins or entirely novel polypeptides by genetic overprinting. We show that both types of chimeric proteins are made in IAV-infected cells, can generate T cell responses and contribute to virulence. Our results indicate that IAV, and likely a multitude of other human-, animal- and plant-viruses, use this host-dependent mechanism to expand their proteome diversity during infection.

Supra-epigenomic impact of the human JC polyomavirus

Project description:Human and animal viruses possess remarkable capabilities in hijacking host processes to facilitate viral infection. Viruses use various strategies to target antiviral response mechanisms while promoting cellular phenotypic states that benefit viral replication. Viruses that replicate and assemble in the nucleus, including human pathogenic DNA viruses, need to balance maximal use of the host DNA replication machinery while at the same time avoid damage to the nucleus before generating a large number of viruses that will support the spread of infection. We have identified a novel mechanism of virus interference with the cell nucleus that involves virus-mediated modulation of nuclear mechanical properties. One of the most widespread human viruses, the JC polyomavirus, interferes with nuclear architecture to form virus-occupied space and substantially reduces the rigidity of the infected human cell nucleus. The JC virus's impact on nuclear rigidity is mediated by the viral nonstructural protein, Agnoprotein (Agno). The Agno interference with nuclear mechanics is governed by structurally diverse mimics of host proteins that support chromatin interaction with the key chromatin regulator, heterochromatin protein 1 alpha (HP1α), and is critical for JC virus infection in vitro. The ability to control chromatin organization and thus nuclear mechanics reveals a previously unknown virus strategy of hijacking the mechanism controlling nuclear physical properties to maximize virus production within the nucleus.

Metabolic enzymes moonlight as selective autophagy receptors to protect plants against viral induced cellular damage

Project description:RNA viruses co-opt host intracellular structures to create specialized replication sites and advance infection. The response of the host to this membrane disruption is poorly understood. In this study, we explore Arabidopsis thaliana's reaction to three distinct viruses that commandeer varying cellular compartments. Our findings reveal autophagy is significantly induced within systemically infected tissues, with autophagy disruption rendering plants highly sensitive to infection. Contrary to being an antiviral defense, quantitative analyses of viral RNA and proteomes establish autophagy as a critical component of the host's tolerance mechanism. Further analysis of mitochondrial hijacking by the Turnip Crinkle Virus has shown that despite perturbing mitochondrial integrity, the virus does not trigger a typical mitophagy response. Instead, viral infection activates a distinct selective autophagy mechanism, where oligomeric metabolic enzymes moonlight as selective autophagy receptors and degrade key executors of defense and cell death. Altogether, our study reveals an autophagy-regulated metabolic rheostats that gauges cellular integrity during viral infection.

Genome-wide CRISPR knockout screening with viral replicons for identification of host factors involved in viral replication

Project description:Pooled CRISPR knockout (KO) screens using live viruses are a proven and valuable approach for identifying essential host factors acting across viral life cycles. Here we describe the development of a pooled genome-wide CRISPR KO screening approach using stable viral replicon cell lines to specifically identify host factors essential for viral replication. Virus replicons are non-infectious, therefore enabling the study of highly virulent viruses under standard biosafety level 2 containment. We developed a stable fluorescent dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) replicon cell line to perform a pooled genome-wide FACS-based CRISPR KO screen. This benchmark DENV-2 replicon screen successfully identified host genes previously known to be required for viral DENV-2 replication (e.g., endoplasmic reticulum membrane complex and oligosaccharyltransferase complex components) and confirmed two additional genes (DOHH and ZFP36L2) involved in replication that have not been recovered in prior live virus screens. We applied this replicon screening approach to two highly divergent viruses: chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a positive-sense RNA virus that replicates at the plasma membrane, and Ebola virus (EBOV), a negative-sense RNA virus that replicates in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies. The CHIKV replicon screen identified two genes known to be required for replication (G3BP1 and G3BP2) and several additional, novel genes (CLEC4G, CSDE1, GOLGA7, HNF1A, and PCBD1). We verified two of them (CSDE1 and GOLGA7) in live CHIKV replication assays. A distinct set of genes (EHMT1, EHMT2, and USP7) were recovered in the EBOV replicon screen and were further confirmed using independent transient transfection assays. Thus, viral replicon-based screens provide a useful approach that can be extended to viruses of diverse taxa to identify host pathways essential for viral replication and to uncover potential novel targets for host-directed medical countermeasures.
