Flavivirus antagonism of type I interferon signaling reveals prolidase as a regulator of IFNAR1 trafficking and expression

ABSTRACT: Type I interferon (IFN-I) signals through two receptor subunits, IFNAR1 and IFNAR2, to regulate sterile and infectious immunity. IFNAR1 expression is tightly regulated to prevent autoimmunity although the mechanisms governing this are incompletely understood. We investigated the strategies used by two flaviviruses, tick-borne encephalitis virus and West Nile virus, to antagonize IFN-I signaling. Infection with these viruses resulted in depletion of IFNAR1 associated with the function of the viral IFN-I antagonist, NS5. NS5 function was dependent on its ability to associate with prolidase (PEPD), a cellular dipeptidase. PEPD was required for IFNAR1 maturation and accumulation, as well as gene induction following IFNAR1 stimulation. The relevance of PEPD to human biology was confirmed in fibroblasts derived from patients with genetic prolidase deficiency that expressed low IFNAR1 and exhibited reduced responses to IFNAR1. Thus, by understanding flavivirus IFN-I antagonism, PEPD is revealed as a central regulator of IFN-I responses in humans.

RNA was isolated from replicates of 4 cultured dermal fibroblast lines derived from patients with genetic prolidase deficiency (PEPD), as well as from 4 cultured dermal fibroblast lines derived from normal healthy donors. These were run on Agilent microarrays to compare differences in gene expression observed in PEPD fibroblasts compared with normal fibroblasts.

Structural basis of a novel Interferon b signaling axis mediated via the ifnar1 receptor

Project description:Type I interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines that play an important role in regulating immune responses to pathogens and tumors and are used therapeutically. All IFNs are considered to signal via the heterodimeric IFNAR1-IFNAR2 complex, yet some subtypes such as IFN? can exhibit distinct functional properties, although the molecular basis of this is unclear. Here we demonstrate IFN uniquely and specifically ligates to IFNAR1 in an IFNAR2-independent manner and provide the structural basis of the IFNAR1-IFN interaction. We show that the IFNAR1-IFN complex transduces signals to modulate the expression of a set of genes independently of IFNAR2. Moreover, we show the in vivo importance of the IFNAR1-IFN signaling axis in a murine model of LPS-induced septic shock. Thus, we provide a molecular basis for understanding specific functions of IFN?. Interferon b induced gene expression in peritoneal exudate cells was measured 3hr post intra-peritoneal injection of 10,000IU/ml of interferon beta or saline into wildtype and Ifnar2-/- mice. Three independant experiments were performed for each treatment in both genotypes using different mice for each sample.

Flavivirus induces and antagonizes antiviral RNA interference in both mammals and mosquitoes

Project description:Mosquito-borne flaviviruses maintain life cycles in mammals and mosquitoes. RNA interference (RNAi) has been demonstrated as an anti-flavivirus mechanism in mosquitoes; however, whether and how flavivirus induces and antagonizes RNAi-mediated antiviral immunity in mammals remains unknown. Here we showed that NS2A of Dengue virus-2 (DENV2) act as a viral suppressor of RNAi (VSR). When NS2A-mediated RNAi suppression was disabled, the resulting mutant DENV2 induced Dicer-dependent production of abundant DENV2-derived siRNAs in differentiated mammalian cells. Importantly, VSR-disabled DENV2 showed severe replication defects in mosquito and mammalian cells, and mice, which were rescued by the deficiency of RNAi. Moreover, NS2As of multiple flaviviruses act as VSRs in vitro and during viral infection in both organisms. Overall, our findings demonstrate that antiviral RNAi can be induced by flavivirus, while flavivirus uses NS2A as bona fide VSR to evade RNAi in mammals and mosquitoes, highlighting the importance of RNAi in flaviviral vector-host life cycles.

TMEM41B is a pan-flavivirus host factor

Project description:Flaviviruses pose a constant threat to human health. These RNA viruses are transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes and ticks and regularly cause outbreaks. To identify host factors required for flavivirus infection we performed full-genome loss of function CRISPR-Cas9 screens. Based on these results we focused our efforts on characterizing the roles that TMEM41B and VMP1 play in the virus replication cycle. Our mechanistic studies on TMEM41B revealed that all members of the Flaviviridae family that we tested require TMEM41B. We tested 12 additional virus families and found that SARS-CoV-2 of the Coronaviridae also required TMEM41B for infection. Remarkably, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present at nearly twenty percent in East Asian populations reduce flavivirus infection. Based on our mechanistic studies we propose that TMEM41B is recruited to flavivirus RNA replication complexes to facilitate membrane curvature, which creates a protected environment for viral genome replication.

Synthetic mimetics assigned a major role to IFNAR2 in type I Interferon signaling

Project description:Type I Interferons (IFNs) are potent inhibitors of viral replication. Here, we reformatted the natural murine and human type I Interferon-α/β receptors IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 into fully synthetic biological switches. The transmembrane and intracellular domains of natural IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 were conserved, whereas the extracellular domains were exchanged by nanobodies directed against the fluorescent proteins Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and mCherry. Using this approach, multimeric single-binding GFP-mCherry ligands induced synthetic IFNAR1/IFNAR2 receptor complexes and initiated STAT1/2 mediated signal transduction via Jak1 and Tyk2. Homodimeric GFP and mCherry ligands showed that IFNAR2 but not IFNAR1 homodimers were sufficient to induce sustained STAT1/2 signaling. Transcriptome analysis revealed that synthetic murine type I IFN signaling was highly comparable to IFNα4 signaling and resulted in efficient elimination of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) in a cell culture based viral infection model using MC57 cells stimulated with synthetic type IFN ligands. Using intracellular deletion variants and point mutations, Y510 and Y335 in murine IFNAR2 were verified as unique phosphorylation sites for STAT1/2 activation, whereas the other tyrosine residues in IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 were not involved in STAT1/2 phosphorylation. Comparative analysis of synthetic human IFNARs supporting this finding. In summary, our data showed that synthetic type I IFN signal transduction is originating from IFNAR2 rather than IFNAR1.

IFNAR1 Signaling in NK Cells Promotes Persistent Virus Infection

Project description:Inhibition of IFN-I signaling promotes the control of persistent virus infection, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we report that genetic ablation of IFNAR1 specifically in NK cells led to elevated numbers of T follicular helper cells, germinal center B cells, and plasma cells, resulting in hastened virus clearance comparable to IFNAR1 blockade by an IFNAR1 neutralizing antibody. Antigen-specific B cells and antiviral antibodies were essential for the accelerated control of LCMV Cl13 infection following IFNAR1 blockade. IFNAR1 signaling in NK cells promoted NK cell maturation, function, and killing of antigenspecific CD4 and CD8 T cells. Therefore, Inhibition of IFN I signaling in NK cells enhances CD4 and CD8 T cell responses, elevates humoral immune response, and thereby facilitates the control of persistent virus infection.

Genome-wide RNA-seq transcriptional analysis of splenocyte responses to Dengue virus infection in WT, Irf3(-/-)×Irf7(-/-) (DKO), Irf3-/-xIrf5-/-xIrf7-/- (TKO), and Ifnar1-/- (AB6) mice.

Project description:Interferon-regulatory factors (IRFs) are a family of transcription factors (TFs) that play critical roles in translating viral recognition into antiviral responses, including type I IFN production. Dengue virus (DENV) and other clinically important flaviviruses are controlled by functional type I interferon (IFN) responses. Using an experimental model of DENV infection that recapitulates key aspects of the human disease in mice, we demonstrate that while mice lacking the type I IFN receptor (Ifnar1-/-) succumb to DENV infection, mice that are deficient in IRF-3, IRF-5, and IRF-7 – the three transcription factors thought to regulate type I IFN production – survive DENV challenge. Genome-wide RNA-seq analysis of WT, Irf3(-/-)×Irf7(-/-) (DKO), Irf3-/-xIrf5-/-xIrf7-/- (TKO), and Ifnar1-/- (AB6) splenocytes identified minimal type I IFN production but a robust type II IFN (IFN-γ) response in DKO and TKO mice later shown to be dependent on IRF-1. These results reveal a key role for IRF-1 in antiviral defense by activating both type I and II IFN responses during DENV infection.
