Programmed ribosomal frameshifting triggers translational stress to promote viral replication

ABSTRACT: Programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) is a conserved viral strategy for expressing polyproteins from compact genomes. Although PRF is traditionally viewed as a structural mechanism, here we show that it functions as a regulatory signal that rewires host translation in favor of viral replication. A minimal SARS-CoV-2 PRF element is sufficient to activate the GCN2 arm of the integrated stress response (ISR) independently of the canonical ISR sensor ZAKα. This activation serves as a temporal switch during early infection to shut off host translation and is required for viral propagation in cells and human airway organoids. Proteomic and genetic screens identify DRG1 and IGF2BP3 as key mediators of PRF-induced GCN2 activation. We further show that this PRF-GCN2 axis is conserved in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and West Nile virus, highlighting its broad relevance across RNA viruses. These findings reveal a sophisticated mechanism of viral translational control, highlighting PRF as a stress-inducing module that enhances viral replication.

Genome-wide CRISPR screens identify noncanonical translation factor eIF2A as an enhancer of SARS-CoV-2 programmed –1 ribosomal frameshifting

Project description:Many positive-strand RNA viruses, including all known coronaviruses, employ programmed –1 ribosomal frameshifting (–1 PRF) to regulate the translation of polycistronic viral RNAs. However, only a few host factors have been shown to regulate –1 PRF. Through a reporter-based genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen, we identified several host factors that either suppressed or enhanced –1 PRF of SARS-CoV-2. One of these factors is eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A (eIF2A), which specifically and directly enhanced –1 PRF in vitro and in cells. Consistent with the crucial role of efficient –1 PRF in transcriptase/replicase expression, loss of eIF2A reduced SARS-CoV-2 replication in cells. Transcriptome-wide analysis of eIF2A-interacting RNAs showed that eIF2A primarily interacted with 18S ribosomal RNA near the contacts between the SARS-CoV-2 frameshift-stimulatory element (FSE) and the ribosome. Thus, our results revealed an unexpected role for eIF2A in modulating the translation of specific RNAs independent of its previously described role during initiation.

The short isoform of the host antiviral protein ZAP acts as an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 programmed ribosomal frameshifting

Project description:Programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) is a fundamental gene expression event in many viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. It allows production of essential viral structural and replicative enzymes that are encoded in an alternative reading frame. Despite the importance of PRF for the viral life cycle, it is still largely unknown how and to what extent cellular factors alter mechanical properties of frameshift elements and thereby impact virulence. This prompted us to comprehensively dissect the interplay between the SARS-CoV-2 frameshift element and the host proteome. We reveal that the short isoform of the zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP-S) is a direct regulator of PRF in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells. ZAP-S overexpression strongly impairs frameshifting and inhibits viral replication. Using in vitro ensemble and single-molecule techniques, we further demonstrate that ZAP-S directly interacts with the SARS-CoV-2 RNA and interferes with the folding of the frameshift RNA element. Together, these data identify ZAP-S as a host-encoded inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting and expand our understanding of RNA-based gene regulation.

Determining transcriptome changes in whole spinal cord of Gcn2-/-;GarsP278KY/+ adult mice [18-burgess-011]

Project description:To determine transcriptome changes in adult spinal cord induced by the combined effect of having the GarsP278KY mutation while lacking GCN2 kinase . How mutations in broadly expressed housekeeping genes lead to neurodegeneration in specific cell types remains unclear. Mutations in ubiquitously expressed tRNA synthetase genes cause axonal peripheral neuropathy, accounting for at least six forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Genetic evidence in mouse and Drosophila models suggests a neomorphic gain-of-function mechanism. Here, we use in vivo, cell-type-specific transcriptional and translational profiling of affected peripheral neurons to show that mutant tRNA synthetases impair translation and activate the integrated stress response (ISR) through the sensor kinase, GCN2. The chronic activation of the ISR contributes to the pathophysiology, and genetic deletion of Gcn2 alleviates the peripheral neuropathy. The activation of GCN2 by tRNA synthetase mutations indicates their neomorphic activity is still related to translation and suggests inhibiting GCN2 or the ISR as a therapeutic strategy.
