Project description:The Integrator complex (INT) is an essential regulator of RNA biogenesis across evolution. Most current findings describe INT’s function in states of equilibrium, presenting a research gap in INT’s role in dynamic states, such as in infections and cancers. Viruses hijack cellular RNA machinery to transcribe their genes and produce viral progeny, presenting a unique condition to investigate INT-dependent RNA regulation under perturbation. Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic DNA virus that causes two deadly cancers, Kaposi’s sarcoma and primary effusion lymphoma. KSHV undergoes a highly regulated and robust transcription of viral genes upon lytic reactivation, providing a complex and dynamic system to investigate Integrator-mediated viral/host RNA metabolism. We find that Integrator subunit 11 (INTS11), the enzymatic core of INT, is required for an optimal KSHV lytic lifecycle following reactivation from latency or after primary infection. While INTS11 knockdown’s impact on the human transcriptome remains bi-directional, it almost exclusively represses the KSHV transcriptome throughout the lytic stages. This inhibits viral protein expression, viral genome replication, and virion production. Integrator subunits 9 and 6 are also important for the KSHV lytic lifecycle. RNA-seq analyses revealed dynamic and unique signatures of human transcriptomes during each latent or lytic stage. Mechanistically, ChIP-seq analysis showed that INTS11 is broadly and increasingly recruited to the KSHV genome with unique binding site specificities as the lytic cycle progresses, suggesting that KSHV hijacks INTS11 to facilitate its lytic lifecycle. These findings reveal unexpected and critical roles of the Integrator complex in the lytic phase of KSHV infection.

Viruses hijack cellular RNA machinery to transcribe their genes and produce viral progeny, presenting a unique condition to investigate INT-dependent RNA regulation under perturbation.

KSHV undergoes a highly regulated and robust transcription of viral genes upon lytic reactivation, providing a complex and dynamic system to investigate integrator-mediated viral/host RNA regulation. We find that integrator subunit 11 (INTS11), the enzymatic core of INT, is essential for KSHV lytic replication triggered by reactivation or primary infection. Further RNA-seq analyses revealed a dynamic and unique signature of human transcriptomes during each lytic stage, respectively. Although the knockdown of INTS11 resulted in selective upregulation and downregulation of certain human gene transcription, INTS11's loss globally repressed the KSHV transcriptome throughout KSHV lytic replication. This inhibited viral lytic gene expression, viral genome replication, and virion production. Integrator subunits 9 and 6 are also important for KSHV lytic replication. Mechanistically, ChIP-seq analysis showed that INTS11 is increasingly recruited to the KSHV genome with some unique binding patterns as the lytic cycle progresses, suggesting that KSHV hijacks INTS11 during lytic gene transcriptions. In all, our findings reveal the essential roles of the Integrator complex in KSHV lytic replication.IMPORTANCEThe integrator complex (INT) is essential for RNA metabolism and is fundamental to all organisms, but its function and regulation during viral infection are not well described. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection establishes lifelong infection and causes two deadly cancers; however, no vaccine is available. Using KSHV as a model, we found that integrator subunit 11 (INTS11), the enzymatic core of INT, is recruited to the KSHV genome under lytic phases and plays an essential role in facilitating global KSHV lytic mRNA transcription and viral production. This reveals the critical role of INT in viral infection, a common and inevitable event in human life.

Project description:Pseudouridylation is a prevalent RNA modification shown to occur in tRNAs, rRNAs, snoRNAs and most recently mRNAs and ncRNAs. Emerging evidence suggests that this dynamic RNA modification is implicated in altering gene expression by regulating RNA stability, modulating translation elongation and modifying amino acid substitution rates. However, the role of pseudouridylation in infection is poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) manipulates the pseudouriylation pathway to enhance replication. We show the pseudouridine synthases (PUS), PUS1 and PUS7 are essential for efficient KSHV lytic replication, supported by the redistribution of PUS7 to viral replication and transcription complexes. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of KSHV RNA pseudouridylation revealing hundreds of modified RNAs at single-nucleotide resolution. Notably, we further demonstrate that pseudouridylation of the KSHV-encoded polyadenylated nuclear RNA (PAN) plays a significant role in the stability of PAN RNA and in the association of the KSHV ORF57 protein. Our findings reveal a novel and essential role of pseudouridine modification in the KSHV replication cycle.

Project description:Historically, ribosomes have been viewed as unchanged homogeneous macromolecular machines with no intrinsic regulatory capacity for mRNA translation. However, an emerging concept is that heterogeneity of ribosomal composition exists, which can exert a regulatory function or specificity in translational control. This is supported by recent discoveries identifying compositionally distinct ‘specialised ribosomes’ that actively regulate mRNA translation. Viruses lack their own translational machinery and impose a high translational demand on the host cell during replication. Here we explore the possibility that Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) can manipulate host ribosome biogenesis during infection to produce specialised ribosomes which preferentially translate viral transcripts. Quantitative proteomic analysis has identified changes in the stoichiometry and composition of precursor ribosomal complexes during the switch from latent to lytic KSHV replication. Intriguingly, we demonstrate the enhanced association of ribosomal biogenesis factors BUD23 and NOC4L, and a previously uncharacterised KSHV lytic protein, ORF11, with small ribosomal subunit precursor complexes during lytic KSHV infection. Notably, BUD23 depletion resulted in significantly reduced viral gene expression and progression through the lytic cascade, culminating in a dramatic reduction of infectious virion production. Importantly, ribosome profiling demonstrated that BUD23 is essential for the reduced association of ribosomes with KSHV uORFs in late lytic genes, required for the efficient translation of the main open reading frame. Together our results provide new mechanistic insights into KSHV-mediated manipulation of cellular ribosome composition inducing a population of specialised ribosomes to facilitate efficient translation of viral mRNAs.

Project description:Kaposi’s Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) and isassociated with primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD) and two inflammatory diseases. KSHV-associated cancers are primarily associated with genes expressed during latency, while other pathologies are associated with lytic gene expression. The major lytic switch of the virus, RTA, interacts with cellular machinery to co-opt the host ubiquitin proteasome system to evade the immune response as well as activate the program of lytic replication. Through SILAC labeling, ubiquitin remnant enrichment and mass spectrometry, we have analyzed the RTA dependent ubiquitin-modified proteome. We identified RTA dependent changes in the populations of polyubiquitin chains, as well as changes in ubiquitinated proteins in both cells expressing RTA and naturally infected cells following lytic reactivation. We observed an enrichment of proteins that are also reported to be SUMOylated, suggesting that RTA, a SUMO targeting ubiquitin ligase, may function to alleviate a SUMO dependent block to lytic reactivation. RTA targeted substrates directly through a ubiquitin ligase domain dependent mechanism as well as indirectly through cellular ubiquitin ligases, including RAUL. Our ubiquitome analysis revealed an RTA dependent mechanism of immune evasion. We provide evidence of inhibition of TAP dependent peptide transport, resulting in decreased HLA complex stability. The results of this analysis increase our understanding of mechanisms governing the latent to lytic transition in addition to the identification of a novel RTA dependent mechanism of immune evasion.Kaposi’s Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) and is associated with primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD) and two inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Lytic replication is essential for persistent infection of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and the pathogenesis of related diseases, and many cellular pathways are hijacked by KSHV proteins to initiate and control the lytic replication of this virus. However, the machinery involved in KSHV lytic replication from the early to the late phases remains largely undetermined. We previously revealed that KSHV ORF45 plays important roles in late transcription and translation. In the present study, we reveal that the Forkhead box proteins FoxK1 and FoxK2 are ORF45-binding proteins and are essential for KSHV lytic gene expression and virion production and that depletion of FoxK1 or FoxK2 significantly suppresses the expression of many late viral genes. FoxK1 and FoxK2 directly bind to the promoters of several late viral genes, ORF45 augments the promoter binding and transcriptional activity of FoxK1 and FoxK2, and then FoxK1 or FoxK2 cooperates with ORF45 to promote late viral gene expression. Our findings suggest that ORF45 interacts with FoxK1 and FoxK2 and promotes their occupancy on a cluster of late viral promoters and their subsequent transcriptional activity; consequently FoxK1 and FoxK2 promote late gene expression to facilitate KSHV lytic replication.
