Abstract
The antimalarial agents artemisinins inhibit cytomegalovirus (CMV) in vitro and in vivo, but their target(s) has been elusive. Using a biotin-labeled artemisinin, we identified the intermediate filament protein vimentin as an artemisinin target, validated by detailed biochemical and biological assays. We provide insights into the dynamic and unique modulation of vimentin, depending on the stage of human CMV (HCMV) replication. In vitro, HCMV entry and viral progeny are reduced in vimentin-deficient fibroblasts, compared with control cells. Similarly, mouse CMV (MCMV) replication in vimentin knockout mice is significantly reduced compared with controls in vivo, confirming the requirement of vimentin for establishment of infection. Early after HCMV infection of human foreskin fibroblasts vimentin level is stable, but as infection proceeds, vimentin is destabilized, concurrent with its phosphorylation and virus-induced calpain activity. Intriguingly, in vimentin-overexpressing cells, HCMV infection is reduced compared with control cells. Binding of artesunate, an artemisinin monomer, to vimentin prevents virus-induced vimentin degradation, decreasing vimentin phosphorylation at Ser-55 and Ser-83 and resisting calpain digestion. In vimentin-deficient fibroblasts, the anti-HCMV activity of artesunate is reduced compared with controls. In summary, an intact and stable vimentin network is important for the initiation of HCMV replication but hinders its completion. Artesunate binding to vimentin early during infection stabilizes it and antagonizes subsequent HCMV-mediated vimentin destabilization, thus suppressing HCMV replication. Our target discovery should enable the identification of vimentin-binding sites and compound moieties for binding.

Cytoskeletons in the Closet-Subversion in Alphaherpesvirus Infections. Viruses 2018; 10:v10020079. [PMID: 29438303 PMCID: PMC5850386 DOI: 10.3390/v10020079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2017] [Revised: 01/30/2018] [Accepted: 02/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments form the cytoskeleton of vertebrate cells. Involved in maintaining cell integrity and structure, facilitating cargo and vesicle transport, remodelling surface structures and motility, the cytoskeleton is necessary for the successful life of a cell. Because of the broad range of functions these filaments are involved in, they are common targets for viral pathogens, including the alphaherpesviruses. Human-tropic alphaherpesviruses are prevalent pathogens carried by more than half of the world’s population; comprising herpes simplex virus (types 1 and 2) and varicella-zoster virus, these viruses are characterised by their ability to establish latency in sensory neurons. This review will discuss the known mechanisms involved in subversion of and transport via the cytoskeleton during alphaherpesvirus infections, focusing on protein-protein interactions and pathways that have recently been identified. Studies on related alphaherpesviruses whose primary host is not human, along with comparisons to more distantly related beta and gammaherpesviruses, are also presented in this review. The need to decipher as-yet-unknown mechanisms exploited by viruses to hijack cytoskeletal components—to reveal the hidden cytoskeletons in the closet—will also be addressed.

Abstract
Viruses employ numerous host cell metabolic functions to propagate and manage to evade the host immune system. For herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), a virus that has evolved to efficiently infect humans without seriously harming the host in most cases, the virus-host interaction is specifically interesting. This interaction can be best characterized by studying the proteomic changes that occur in the host during infection. Previous studies have been successful at identifying numerous host proteins that play important roles in HSV infection; however, there is still much that we do not know. This study identifies host metabolic functions and proteins that play roles in HSV infection, using global quantitative stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) proteomic profiling of the host cell combined with LC-MS/MS. We showed differential proteins during early, mid and late infection, using both cytosolic and nuclear fractions. We identified hundreds of differentially regulated proteins involved in fundamental cellular functions, including gene expression, DNA replication, inflammatory response, cell movement, cell death, and RNA post-transcriptional modification. Novel differentially regulated proteins in HSV infections include some previously identified in other virus systems, as well as fusion protein, involved in malignant liposarcoma (FUS) and hypoxia up-regulated 1 protein precursor (HYOU1), which have not been identified previously in any virus infection.

Abstract
Intermediate filaments (IF) are essential to maintain cellular and nuclear integrity and shape, to manage organelle distribution and motility, to control the trafficking and pH of intracellular vesicles, to prevent stress-induced cell death, and to support the correct distribution of specific proteins. Because of this, IF are likely to be targeted by a variety of pathogens, and may act in favor or against infection progress. As many IF functions remain to be identified, however, little is currently known about these interactions. Herpesviruses can infect a wide variety of cell types, and are thus bound to encounter the different types of IF expressed in each tissue. The analysis of these interrelationships can yield precious insights into how IF proteins work, and into how viruses have evolved to exploit these functions. These interactions, either known or potential, will be the focus of this review.

Abstract
The host cytoskeleton plays a central role in the life cycle of many viruses yet our knowledge of cytoskeletal regulators and their role in viral infection remains limited. Recently, moesin and ezrin, two members of the ERM (Ezrin/Radixin/Moesin) family of proteins that regulate actin and plasma membrane cross-linking and microtubule (MT) stability, have been shown to inhibit retroviral infection. To further understand how ERM proteins function and whether they also influence infection by other viruses, we identified PDZD8 as a novel moesin-interacting protein. PDZD8 is a poorly understood protein whose function is unknown. Exogenous expression of either moesin or PDZD8 reduced the levels of stable MTs, suggesting that these proteins functioned as part of a cytoskeletal regulatory complex. Additionally, exogenous expression or siRNA-mediated knockdown of either factor affected Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, identifying a cellular function for PDZD8 and novel antiviral properties for these two cytoskeletal regulatory proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the effects of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection on the cytoskeletal components actin, lamin A, alpha-tubulin and vimentin. METHODS The expression patterns of these four proteins during VZV infection were studied by Northern and Western blotting. The filaments were also studied in their cellular environment by immunofluorescence using confocal microscopy. Treatment with nocodazole and cytochalasin B was performed to examine the effects of the destruction of actin or tubulin networks on the VZV replicative cycle. RESULTS The amounts of the mRNAs of actin, lamin A, alpha-tubulin and vimentin decreased slightly at 48 h post infection (p.i.) with VZV. The cellular content of the lamin A protein appeared to remain stable during the time period analyzed, whereas the amounts of actin, alpha-tubulin and vimentin decreased slightly at 24 h p.i. until the end of the viral cycle. Rearrangement of microfilaments and microtubules was observed at 24 h p.i. The addition of nocodazole or cytochalasin B decreased viral replication. CONCLUSIONS During the VZV replicative cycle, tubulin and actin networks undergo significant changes including fiber elongation. If destroyed intentionally, viral replication is diminished, suggesting that these systems are vital for an efficient infection and viral replication.

Abstract
Imaging by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) can provide insight into viral egress. At a low magnification level, varicella zoster virions (VZV) emerge from an infected cell surface in a distinctive pattern previously described as "viral highways." Viral highways consist of thousands of particles arranged in linear pathways across the syncytial surface. This egress pattern has not been described with other herpesviruses, but a systematic analysis has not been performed. Therefore, the characteristic arrangement of VZV egress was compared with that of six other members of the herpes virus family, including herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2, human cytomegalovirus (CMV), pseudorabies virus (PRV), and human herpesvirus types 6 and 7 (HHV-6 and HHV-7). Only VZV-infected cells exhibited viral highways. Subsequent SEM examination of VZ virions at an ultra high-resolution revealed that more than 70% were aberrant. Further imaging of the other herpesviruses demonstrated that VZV structure was more closely related to PRV than HSV-1 or HSV-2. Finally, it is noted that the individual members of the herpesvirus family have distinguishable SEM profiles.

Abstract
The host cytoskeleton plays important roles in the entry, replication, and egress of viruses. An assortment of viruses hijack cellular motor proteins to move on microtubules toward the cell interior during the entry process; others reverse this transport during egress to move assembling virus particles toward the plasma membrane. Polymerization of actin filaments is sometimes used to propel viruses from cell to cell, while many viruses induce the destruction of select cytoskeletal filaments apparently to effect efficient egress. Indeed, the tactics used by any given virus to achieve its infectious life cycle are certain to involve multiple cytoskeletal interactions. Understanding these interactions, and their orchestration during viral infections, is providing unexpected insights into basic virology, viral pathogenesis, and the biology of the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Earlier studies have shown that the Golgi apparatus was fragmented and dispersed in herpes simplex virus 1-infected Vero and HEp-2 cells but not in human 143TK- cells, that the fragmentation and dispersal required viral functions expressed concurrently with or after the onset of DNA synthesis (G. Campadelli-Fiume, R. Brandimarti, C. Di Lazzaro, P. L. Ward, B. Roizman, and M. R. Torrisi, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:2798-2802, 1993), and that in 143TK- cells, but not Vero or HEp-2 cells, infected with viral mutants lacking the UL20 gene virions were glycosylated and transported to extracellular space (J. D. Baines, P. L. Ward, G. Campadelli-Fiume, and B. Roizman, J. Virol. 65:6414-6424, 1991; E. Avitabile, P. L. Ward, C. Di Lazzaro, M. R. Torrisi, B. Roizman, and G. Campadelli-Fiume, J. Virol. 68:7397-7405, 1994). Experiments designed to elucidate the role of the microtubules and of intact or fragmented Golgi apparatus in the exocytosis of virions showed the following. (i) In all cell lines tested (Vero, 143TK-, BHK, and Hep-2) microtubules underwent fragmentation particularly evident at the cell periphery and then reorganized into bundles which circumvent the nucleus. This event was not affected by inhibitors of viral DNA synthesis. We conclude that redistribution of microtubules may be required but is not sufficient for the fragmentation and dispersal of the Golgi apparatus. (ii) In all infected cell lines tested, nocodazole caused fragmentation and dispersal of the Golgi and a far more extensive depolymerization of the microtubules than was seen in untreated, infected Vero or HEp-2 cells. Taxol precluded the depolymerization of the microtubules and fragmentation of the Golgi in both infected cell lines. Neither nocodazole nor taxol affected the exocytosis of infectious virus from Vero, HEp-2, or 143TK- cells infected with wild-type virus. We conclude that the effects of nocodazole or of taxol are dominant over the effects of viral infection in the cell lines tested and that viral exocytosis is independent of the organization of microtubules or of the integrity of the Golgi apparatus. Lastly, the data suggest that herpes simplex viruses have evolved an exocytic pathway for which the UL20 protein is a component required in some cells but not others and in which this protein does not merely compensate for the fragmentation and dispersal of the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
The immunohistochemical distribution of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), being normally restricted to nerve cell bodies and dendrites, became altered in rat dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord neurons in cultures infected with rhesus rotavirus. MAP2 appeared in axons of both sources of neurons as displayed with monoclonal antibodies to MAP2a + b and MAP2a + b + c at 48 hr post-infection (p.i.). Other cytoskeletal elements, i.e., tau, MAP1, MAP5, neurofilament, actin, and tubulin, did not reveal any alterations in the rotavirus-infected neurons. One of the rotavirus cytosolic proteins, the inner capsid protein vp6, was expressed in axons at 48 hr p.i. simultaneously with the appearance of MAP2, while two other viral proteins, vp4 and NS28, remained in the nerve cell bodies. By quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) a binding of single-shelled rotaviruses, which express vp6 on their surfaces, to purified MAP2 was found. There was no binding of these viral particles to tau or tubulin proteins. This study indicates that a selective interaction between certain viral and neuronal cytoskeletal proteins can occur and that a non-cytolytic viral infection can cause alterations in the polarized sorting of neuronal proteins.

Abstract
In order to characterize better the morphology and immune response in acute necrotizing HSV infection, murine HSV hepatitis was examined. BALB/c mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with 10(6) plaque-forming units (PFU) of HSV-1 (Lenette) and HSV-2 (D316). In both groups half the animals were pretreated with silica particles to block macrophage function. Up to 6 days after infection four mice from each group were sacrificed at daily intervals and the livers were examined by light and electron microscopy, immunohistology, in situ hybridization, combined immunohistology/in situ hybridization and titration of viral PFU. HSV-2 infected mice developed severe necrotizing hepatitis with persistence of HSV in the liver tissue until the end of the study. HSV-1 infected mice rapidly eliminated the virus and revealed only small necrotic foci. Early phase alterations and necrotic phase lesions were distinguished and characterized and morphologic evidence of a direct cytopathic effect of HSV was detected. A specific immune reaction in late stages appeared to be mediated by T4-positive T-lymphocytes. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry showed a close correlation with virus titration and were valuable in characterizing early phases and in the assessment of prognosis and differential diagnosis.
