Rapid degradation pathways of host proteins during HCMV infection revealed by quantitative proteomics

ABSTRACT: Human cytomegalovirus is an important pathogen in immunocompromised individuals and neonates, and a paradigm for viral immune evasion. We previously developed a quantitative proteomic approach that identified 133 proteins degraded during the early phase of HCMV infection, including known and novel antiviral factors. The majority were rescued from degradation by MG132, which is known to inhibit lysosomal cathepsins in addition to the proteasome. Global definition of the precise mechanisms of host protein degradation is important both to improve our understanding of viral biology, and to inform novel antiviral therapeutic strategies. We therefore developed and optimised a multiplexed comparative proteomic analysis using the selective proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in addition to MG132, to provide a global mechanistic view of protein degradation. Of proteins rescued from degradation by MG132, 62-85% were also rescued by bortezomib, suggesting both that the predominant mechanism of protein degradation employed by HCMV is via the proteasome, and that alternative pathways for degradation are nevertheless important. Our approach and data will enable improved mechanistic understanding of HCMV and other viruses, and provide a shortlist of candidate restriction factors for further analysis.

High definition analysis of protein stability during cytomegalovirus infection informs on cellular restriction

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important pathogen and a paradigm of viral immune evasion. Here, we describe a multiplexed approach to discover proteins with novel innate immune functions on the basis of their active proteasomal or lysosomal degradation during the early phase of HCMV infection. Using three orthogonal proteomic/transcriptomic screens to quantify protein degradation, we identified 35 proteins with high confidence that were enriched in known antiviral restriction factors. A final screen facilitated global analysis of the mechanism of viral immune-modulation by predicting which viral genes target >250 human proteins. Helicase-like Transcription Factor (HLTF), a DNA helicase important in error-free post-replication DNA repair, was rapidly degraded during infection and potently inhibited early viral gene expression. HCMV UL145, a protein of previously unknown function, recruits the Cullin 4 E3 ligase complex to degrade HLTF. Our approach and data will enable further identifications of innate pathways targeted by HCMV and other viruses.

Human cytomegalovirus protein pUL36: a dual cell death pathway inhibitor

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important human pathogen and a paradigm of intrinsic, innate and adaptive viral immune evasion. Here, we employ multiplexed tandem mass tag-based proteomics to characterise host proteins targeted for degradation late during HCMV infection. This approach revealed that mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), a key terminal mediator of cellular necroptosis, was rapidly and persistently degraded by the minimally passaged HCMV strain Merlin but not the extensively passaged strain AD169. The strain Merlin viral inhibitor of apoptosis pUL36 was necessary and sufficient both to degrade MLKL and to inhibit necroptosis. Furthermore, mutation of pUL36 Cys131 abrogated MLKL degradation and restored necroptosis. As the same residue is also required for pUL36-mediated inhibition of apoptosis by preventing proteolytic activation of pro-caspase 8, we define pUL36 as a multifunctional inhibitor of both apoptotic and necroptotic cell death.

Human cytomegalovirus degrades DMXL1 to inhibit autophagy, lysosomal acidification and viral assembly

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important human pathogen and a master regulator of host intrinsic, innate, and adaptive immunity. HCMV hijacks host intracellular compartments to assemble new virions, and lysosomes are essential for this process. We combined a comprehensive proteomic analysis of host proteins targeted for degradation by HCMV with a database of proteins involved in vacuolar acidification. Dmx-like protein 1 (DMXL1) was the only protein that acidifies vacuoles yet is degraded by HCMV. Systematic comparison of viral deletion mutants revealed that the uncharacterised 7kDa US33A protein is necessary and sufficient for DMXL1 degradation. Functional experiments using cells stably expressing US33A, or infected with adenovirus vectors expressing US33A, or infected with recombinant HCMV deleted for US33A, demonstrated that HCMV degrades DMXL1 to inhibit lysosomal acidification and autophagic cargo degradation. Formation of the viral assembly compartment, which is known to require lysosomes, occurred significantly later in cells infected with US33A-expressing virus, with reduced viral replication. These data thus identify an entirely new viral strategy for cellular remodelling. US33A recruits the E3 ubiquitin ligase Kip1 ubiquitination-promoting complex (KPC) and acts akin to a proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) to degrade DMXL1. The potential thus exists to employ US33A in novel therapies for viral infection or rheumatic conditions, in which inhibition of lysosome acidification can attenuate disease.

Human cytomegalovirus protein RL1 degrades the antiviral factor SLFN11 via recruitment of the CRL4 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important human pathogen and a paradigm of viral immune evasion, targeting intrinsic, innate and adaptive immunity. We have employed two novel, orthogonal multiplexed tandem mass tag-based proteomic screens to identify host proteins downregulated by viral factors expressed during the latest phases of viral infection. This approach revealed that the HIV-1 restriction factor Schlafen-11 (SLFN11) was degraded by the poorly characterised, late-expressed HCMV protein RL1, via recruitment of the Cullin4-RING E3 Ubiquitin Ligase (CRL4) complex. SLFN11 potently restricted HCMV infection, inhibiting the formation and spread of viral plaques. Overall, we show that a restriction factor previously thought only to inhibit RNA viruses additionally restricts HCMV. We define the mechanism of viral antagonism and also describe an important resource for revealing additional molecules of importance in antiviral innate immunity and viral immune evasion.

ADAM17 targeting by human cytomegalovirus remodels the cell surface proteome to simultaneously regulate multiple immune pathways

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a major human pathogen whose life-long persistence is enabled by its remarkable capacity to systematically subvert host immune defences. In exploring the finding that HCMV infection upregulates tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2), a ligand for the proinflammatory anti-viral cytokine TNFa, we discovered the underlying mechanism was due to targeting of the protease, A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17). ADAM17 is the prototype ‘sheddase, a family of proteases that cleaves other membrane-bound proteins to release biologically active ectodomains into the supernatant. HCMV impaired ADAM17 surface expression through the action of two virally-encoded proteins in its UL/b’ region, UL148 and UL148D. Proteomic plasma membrane profiling of cells infected with a HCMV double deletion mutant for UL148 and UL148D with restored ADAM17 expression, combined with ADAM17 functional blockade, showed that HCMV stabilized the surface expression of 114 proteins (p<0.05) in an ADAM17-dependent fashion. These included known substrates of ADAM17 with established immunological functions such as TNFR2 and Jagged1, but also numerous novel host and viral targets, such as Nectin1, UL8 and UL144. Regulation of TNFa-induced cytokine responses and NK inhibition during HCMV infection were dependent on this impairment of ADAM17. We therefore identify a viral immunoregulatory mechanism in which targeting a single sheddase enables broad regulation of multiple critical surface receptors, revealing a paradigm for viral-encoded immunomodulation.

Whole-cell and plasma membrane proteomics of herpes simplex virus-1 infection reveals cell surface remodelling via pUL56-mediated GOPC degradation

Project description:Herpesviruses are ubiquitous in the human population and they extensively remodel the cellular environment during infection. Multiplexed quantitative proteomic analysis over the time-course of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 infection was used to characterize changes in the host-cell proteome and the kinetics of viral protein production. Several host-cell proteins are targeted for rapid degradation by HSV-1, including the cellular trafficking factor GOPC. We show that the poorly-characterized HSV-1 pUL56 directly binds GOPC, stimulating its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Plasma membrane profiling revealed that pUL56 mediates specific changes to the cell surface proteome of infected cells, including loss of IL18 receptor and Toll-like receptor 2, and that cell surface expression of Toll-like receptor 2 is GOPC-dependent. Our study provides significant resources for future investigation of HSV-host interactions and highlights an unanticipated and efficient mechanism whereby a single virus protein targets a cellular trafficking factor to modify the surface of infected cells.

Quantitative temporal proteomic analysis of vaccinia virus infection reveals regulation of histone deacetylases by an interferon antagonist

Project description:Vaccinia virus (VACV) has numerous immune evasion strategies, including multiple mechanisms of inhibition of IRF-3, NF-κB and type I interferon (IFN) signaling. Here, we used highly multiplexed proteomics to quantify >8,000 cellular proteins and ~80% of viral proteins over seven time points spanning the whole course of VACV infection. This identified multiple novel viral targets, including putative natural killer cell ligands and IFN-stimulated genes. The class II histone deacetylase HDAC5 was selectively degraded early during VACV infection. Use of cell lines in which HDAC5 was overexpressed or knocked out showed that HDAC5 restricted replication of both VACV and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). By generating a protein-based temporal classification of VACV gene expression, we identified the early protein C6, a multifunctional IFN antagonist, as the factor that targets HDAC5 for proteasomal degradation. Our approach thus identifies both a novel restriction factor and a viral mechanism of innate immune evasion.

Global analysis of the human cytomegalovirus interactome identifies degradation hubs, domain associations and viral protein functions

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important pathogen that extensively modulates host cells, downregulating >900 human proteins over the course of viral replication and degrading ≥133 proteins shortly after infection. The mechanism of degradation of most host proteins remains unresolved, and the functions of many viral proteins are incompletely characterised. We performed a systematic interactome analysis of 169 canonical HCMV proteins, and a subset of non-canonical HCMV proteins, in infected cells. This identified an extensive network of >3,400 virus-host and >150 virus-virus protein interactions, providing insights into novel functions for multiple viral genes. Domain analysis predicted binding of the viral UL25 protein to the SH3 domains of NCK Adaptor Protein 1. Viral interacting proteins were identified for 31/133 degraded host targets. Finally, the uncharacterised, non-canonical ORFL147C protein was found to interact with elements of the mRNA splicing machinery, and a mutational study suggested its importance in viral replication. The interactome data will be important for future studies of herpesvirus infection.

MCL-1 Drives a Metabolic Dependency on Fatty Acid Oxidation in Cancer Independent of its Anti-Apoptotic Function

Project description:MCL-1 is an anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family protein essential to the survival of diverse cell types and is a major driver of cancer and chemoresistance. The unique oncogenic supremacy of MCL-1, as compared to its anti-apoptotic homologs, suggests that it has additional functions to complement apoptotic suppression. Here, we find that MCL-1-dependent hematologic cancer cells selectively rely on fatty acid oxidation (FAO) as a fuel source due to metabolic wiring enforced by MCL-1 itself. Importantly, this metabolic function is independent of anti-apoptotic activity, as demonstrated by metabolomic, proteomic, and genomic profiling of MCL-1-dependent leukemia cells lacking pro-apoptotic BAX and BAK. Genetic deletion of Mcl-1 results in selective downregulation of proteins within the FAO pathway, accompanied by cell death upon glucose deprivation despite apoptotic blockade. Our data reveal that MCL-1 drives a programmatic dependency on FAO in hematologic cancer cells, which can be effectively targeted by FAO inhibitors.

A Triple Knockout (TKO) Proteomics Standard for Diagnosing Ion Interference in Isobaric Labeling Experiments

Project description:Isobaric labeling is a powerful strategy for quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic investigations. A complication of such analyses has been the co-isolation of multiple analytes of similar mass-to-charge resulting in the distortion of relative protein abundance measurements across samples. When properly implemented, triple-stage mass spectrometry and synchronous precursor selection (SPS-MS3) can reduce the occurrence of this phenomena, referred to as ion interference. However, no diagnostic tool is available currently to rapidly and accurately assess ion interference. To address this need, we developed a multiplexed TMT-based standard, termed the triple knockout (TKO). This standard is comprised of three yeast proteomes in triplicate, each from a strain deficient in a highly abundant protein (Met6, Pfk2, or Ura2). The relative abundance patterns of these proteins, which can be inferred from dozens of peptide measurements, are representative of ion interference in peptide quantification. We expect no signal in channels where the protein is knocked out, permitting maximum sensitivity for measurements of ion interference against a null background. Here, we emphasize the need to investigate further ion interference-generated ratio distortion and promote the TKO standard as a tool to investigate such issues.
