Host cell Z-RNAs activate ZBP1 during virus infections [MEF]

ABSTRACT: Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and Influenza A viruses (IAV) trigger Z-form nucleic acid Binding Protein 1 (ZBP1)-initiated cell death. ZBP1 is activated by Z-RNA, and the Z-RNAs which activate ZBP1 during HSV-1 and IAV infections were assumed to be of viral origin. However, we show here that host cell-encoded Z-RNAs are major and sufficient ZBP1 activating ligands following infection by these two human pathogens. The majority of cellular Z-RNAs mapped to intergenic endogenous retroelements (EREs) embedded within abnormally long 3’ extensions of host cell mRNAs. These aberrant host cell transcripts arose as a consequence of Disruption of Transcription Termination (DoTT), a virus-driven phenomenon which disables Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specificity Factor (CPSF)-mediated 3’ processing of nascent pre-mRNAs. Mutant viruses lacking ICP27 or NS1, the virus-encoded proteins responsible for inhibiting CPSF and triggering DoTT, failed to induce host cell Z-RNA accrual and were attenuated in their ability to stimulate ZBP1. Ectopic expression of HSV-1 ICP27 or IAV NS1, or pharmacological blockade of CPSF activity, induced accumulation of host cell Z-RNAs and activated ZBP1. These results demonstrate that DoTT-generated cellular Z-RNAs are bona fide ZBP1 ligands, and position ZBP1-activated cell death as a host response to counter viral disruption of the cellular transcriptional machinery.

Herpes Simplex Virus blocks host transcription termination via the bimodal activities of ICP27.

Project description:Infection by viruses, including Herpes Simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), and cellular stresses cause widespread disruption of transcription termination (DoTT) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that, in HSV-1-infected cells, the viral immediate early factor ICP27 is necessary and sufficient for inducing DoTT. Mechanistically, ICP27 directly binds to the essential mRNA 3’ processing factor CPSF, induces the assembly of a dead-end 3’ processing complex, and blocks mRNA cleavage. Remarkably, ICP27 also acts as a sequence-dependent activator of mRNA 3’ processing for HSV-1 and a subset of host genes. Our results suggest that the bimodal activities of ICP27 play a key role in HSV-1-induced host shutoff and that CPSF is a common host factor targeted by multiple viruses. The mechanism described here may have implications for understanding other virus- and cell stress-mediated regulation of transcription termination.

Mechanism and consequences of herpes simplex virus 1-mediated regulation of host mRNA alternative polyadenylation

Project description:Herpes Simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) causes widespread disruption of transcription termination (DoTT) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) mainly by immediate early gene ICP27. Mechanistically, ICP27 directly binds to the essential mRNA 3’ processingfactor CPSF, induces the assembly of a dead-end 3’ processing complex, and blocks mRNA cleavage. Remarkably, ICP27 also acts as a sequence-dependent activator of mRNA 3’ processing for HSV-1 and a subset of host genes. Our results here show that the bimodal activities of ICP27 play a key role in HSV-1-induced alternative polyadenyalation.

ZBP1 is a cytosolic RNA virus sensor driving activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, pyroptosis, necroptosis and apoptosis

Project description:The innate immune system recognizes nucleic acids as a signature of microbial infection and initiates host-protective responses, including the production of type I IFN and proinflammatory cytokines. Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1, also known as DLM-1 or DAI) was previously identified as a dsDNA binding protein, triggering DNA-mediated activation of innate immune responses. However, mice or cells lacking ZBP1 produce normal levels of type I IFN in response to dsDNA. Therefore, the classification of ZBP1 as a true DNA sensor remains to be resolved. Here, we report that the single stranded RNA virus, influenza A virus (IAV) is a trigger of the cytosolic sensor ZBP1. Sensing of IAV infection by ZBP1 engages a novel NLRP3 inflammasome pathway that is not defined by the conventions of the canonical and non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome pathways. Surprisingly, IAV-induced cell death was not prevented by the absence of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Instead, we identified parallel contributions from pyroptosis, necroptosis and apoptosis in the execution of ZBP1-dependent cell death, mediated by the kinase RIPK3. Overall, the ability of ZBP1 to sense IAV infection signifies a point of divergence for IAV-induced programmed cell death pathways and inflammasome activation. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in influenza-infected bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) isolated from Ifnar1-/- and wild-type mice.

The interaction of influenza A NS1 and cellular TRBP protein modulates the function of RNA interference machinery

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV), one of the most prevalent respiratory diseases, causes pandemics around the world. The multifunctional non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of IAV is a viral antagonist that suppresses host antiviral response. However, the mechanism by which NS1 modulates the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway remains unclear. Here, we identified interactions between NS1 proteins of Influenza A/PR8/34 (H1N1; IAV-PR8) and Influenza A/WSN/1/33 (H1N1; IAV-WSN) and Dicer’s cofactor TAR-RNA binding protein (TRBP). We found that the N-terminal RNA binding domain (RBD) of NS1 and the first two domains of TRBP protein mediated this interaction. Furthermore, two amino acid residues (Arg at position 38 and Lys at position 41) in NS1 were essential for the interaction. We generated TRBP knockout cells and found that NS1 instead of NS1 mutants (two-point mutations within NS1, R38A/K41A) inhibited the process of microRNA (miRNA) maturation by binding with TRBP. PR8-infected cells showed masking of short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated RNAi, which was not observed after mutant virus-containing NS1 mutation (R38A/K41A, termed PR8/3841) infection. Moreover, abundant viral small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) were detected in vitro and in vivo upon PR8/3841 infection. We identify, for the first time, the interaction between NS1 and TRBP that affects host RNAi machinery.

Modulation of Influenza A virus NS1 expression reveals prioritization of host response antagonism at single-cell resolution

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) is an important human respiratory pathogen that causes significant seasonal epidemics and potential devastating pandemics. As part of its life cycle, IAV encodes the multifunctional protein NS1, that, among many roles, prevents immune detection and limits interferon (IFN) production. As different host immune pathways exert different selective pressures against IAV as replication progresses, we expect a prioritization in the host immune antagonism by NS1. In this work, we profiled bulk transcriptomic differences in a primary bronchial epithelial cell model facing IAV infections at distinct NS1 levels. We further demonstrated that the intracellular NS1 levels in-part shapes the host response heterogeneity at single cell level. We found that modulation of NS1 levels reveal a ranking in its inhibitory roles: modest NS1 expression is sufficient to inhibit immune detection, and thus the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (including IFNs), but higher levels are required to inhibit IFN signaling and ISG expression. Lastly, inhibition of chaperones related to the unfolded protein response requires the highest amount of NS1, often associated with later stages of viral replication. This work demystifies some of the multiple functions ascribed to IAV NS1, highlighting the prioritization of NS1 in antagonizing the different pathways involved in the host response to IAV infection.

Influenza A virus preferentially snatches non-coding RNA caps

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) lacks the enzyme for adding 5â caps to its RNAs, and thus snatches the 5â ends of host capped RNAs to prime transcription. Neither the preference of the host RNA sequences snatched, nor the effect of âcap-snatchingâ on host processes has been completely defined. Previous studies of influenza cap-snatching used poly(A)-selected RNA from infected cells or relied solely on annotated host protein-coding genes to define host mRNAs selected by the virus. To examine the substrate-product relationship between all host RNAs, including non-coding RNAs, and viral RNAs, we used an unbiased approach to identify the host and viral capped RNAs from IAV-infected cells. We demonstrate that IAV predominantly snatches caps from non-coding host RNAs, particularly U1 and U2 small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). Because snRNAs regulate host mRNA processing, cap-snatching of snRNAs may constitute a means by which IAV hijacks host cell metabolism. examine caps snatched by influenza virus A

Single-cell RNA sequencing of pandemic influenza A virus-infected human airway epithelial cells

Project description:To characterize the host response to pandemic IAV infection in its natural target cells, we infected primary human airway epithelial cell (hAEC) cultures wild-type pandemic IAV (WT) or a NS1 mutant virus (NS1R38A) with abrogated dsRNA binding capacity at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.03. We then profiled the transcriptomes of uninfected cells as well as cells harvested 18 hours post-infection (hpi) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

IP-MS analysis

Project description:It has recently been shown that HSV-1 infection induces widespread defect in host gene transcription termination while viral genes are unaffected. However, The underlying mechanism remain poorly understood. According to our sequencing data, ICP27 as an immediate early protein of HSV-1 was involved in disrupting host transcription termination. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we performed IP-MS to figure out interaction proteins with ICP27. Other than export proteins, 3’ end processing factors strongly associated with ICP27 based on this IP-MS data. Pre-mRNA 3’ end processing is required for transcription termination. As expected, this MS data as well as our in vitro and in vivo data suggested that ICP27 functions in pre-mRNA 3’ end processing to regulate transcription termination in a sequence dependent manner.
