Tu M, Liu F, Chen S, Wang M, Cheng A. Role of capsid proteins in parvoviruses infection. Virol J 2015; 12:114. [PMID: 26239432 PMCID: PMC4524367 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-015-0344-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2015] [Accepted: 07/15/2015] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The parvoviruses are widely spread in many species and are among the smallest DNA animal viruses. The parvovirus is composed of a single strand molecule of DNA wrapped into an icosahedral capsid. In a viral infection, the massy capsid participates in the entire viral infection process, which is summarized in this review. The capsid protein VP1 is primarily responsible for the infectivity of the virus, and the nuclear localization signal (NLS) of the VP1 serves as a guide to assist the viral genome in locating the nucleus. The dominant protein VP2 provides an “anti-receptor”, which interacts with the cellular receptor and leads to the further internalization of virus, and, the N-terminal of VP2 also cooperates with the VP1 to prompt the process of nucleus translocation. Additionally, a cleavage protein VP3 is a part of the capsid, which exists only in several members of the parvovirus family; however, the function of this cleavage protein remains to be fully determined. Parvoviruses can suffer from the extreme environmental conditions such as low pH, or even escape from the recognition of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), due to the protection of the stable capsid, which is thought to be an immune escape mechanism. The applications of the capsid proteins to the screening and the treatment of diseases are also discussed. The processes of viral infection should be noted, because understanding the virus-host interactions will contribute to the development of therapeutic vaccines.

Abstract
Sequence analysis revealed phospholipase A2 (PLA2) motifs in capsid proteins of parvoviruses. Although PLA2 activity is not known to exist in viruses, putative PLA2s from divergent parvoviruses, human B19, porcine parvovirus, and insect GmDNV (densovirus from Galleria mellonella), can emulate catalytic properties of secreted PLA2. Mutations of critical amino acids strongly reduce both PLA2 activity and, proportionally, viral infectivity, but cell surface attachment, entry, and endocytosis by PLA2-deficient virions are not affected. PLA2 activity is critical for efficient transfer of the viral genome from late endosomes/lysosomes to the nucleus to initiate replication. These findings offer the prospect of developing PLA2 inhibitors as a new class of antiviral drugs against parvovirus infections and associated diseases.

Abstract
The nonstructural adeno-associated virus type 2 Rep proteins are known to control viral replication and thus provide the single-stranded DNA genomes required for packaging into preformed capsids. In addition, complexes between Rep proteins and capsids have previously been observed in the course of productive infections. Such complexes have been interpreted as genome-linked Rep molecules associated with the capsid upon successful DNA encapsidation. Here we demonstrate via coimmunoprecipitation, cosedimentation, and yeast two-hybrid analyses that the Rep-VP association also occurs in the absence of packageable genomes, suggesting that such complexes could be involved in the preparation of empty capsids for subsequent encapsidation steps. The Rep domain responsible for the observed Rep-VP interactions is situated within amino acids 322 to 482. In the presence of all Rep proteins, Rep52 and, to a lesser extent, Rep78 are most abundantly recovered with capsids, whereas Rep68 and Rep40 vary in association depending on their expression levels. Rep78 and Rep52 are bound to capsids to roughly the same extent as the minor capsid protein VP2. Complexes of Rep78 and Rep52 with capsids differ in their respective detergent stabilities, indicating that they result from different types of interactions. Rep-VP interaction studies suggest that Rep proteins become stably associated with the capsid during the assembly process. Rep-capsid complexes can reach even higher complexity through additional Rep-Rep interactions, which are particularly detergent labile. Coimmunoprecipitation and yeast two-hybrid data demonstrate the interaction of Rep78 with Rep68, of Rep68 with Rep52, and weak interactions of Rep40 with Rep52 and Rep78. We propose that the large complexes arising from these interactions represent intermediates in the DNA packaging pathway.

Abstract
Minute virus of mice (MVM) shows an oncotropic behavior reflected by its ability to amplify its genome more efficiently in a number of transformed versus normal cells. In vivo and in vitro studies revealed that the major effect of cell transformation on MVM DNA replication occurs at the level of double-stranded replicative-form amplification. In particular, resolution of MVM DNA concatemers into monomers was found to be highly sensitive to neoplastic transformation.

Abstract
We have developed an in vitro system that supports the replication of natural DNA templates of the autonomous parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM). MVM virion DNA, a single-stranded molecule bracketed by short, terminal, self-complementary sequences, is converted into double-stranded replicative-form (RF) DNA when incubated in mouse A9 fibroblast extract. The 3' end of the newly synthesized complementary strand is ligated to the right-end hairpin of the virion strand, resulting in the formation of a covalently closed RF (cRF) molecule as the major conversion product. cRF DNA is not further replicated in A9 cell extract alone. On addition of purified MVM nonstructural protein NS1 expressed from recombinant baculoviruses or vaccinia viruses, cRF DNA is processed into a right-end (5' end of the virion strand) extended form (5'eRF). This is indicative of NS1-dependent nicking of the right-end hairpin at a distinct position, followed by unfolding of the hairpin and copying of the terminal sequence. In contrast, no resolution of the left-end hairpin can be detected in the presence of NS1. In the course of the right-end nicking reaction, NS1 gets covalently attached to the right-end telomere of the DNA product, as shown by immunoprecipitation with NS1-specific antibodies. The 5'eRF product is the target for additional rounds of NS1-induced nicking and displacement synthesis at the right end, arguing against the requirement of the hairpin structure for recognition of the DNA substrate by NS1. Further processing of the 5'eRF template in vitro leads to the formation of dimeric RF (dRF) DNA in a left-to-left-end configuration, presumably as a result of copying of the whole molecule by displacement synthesis initiated at the right-end telomere. Formation of dRF DNA is highly stimulated by NS1. The experimental results presented in this report support various assumptions of current models of parvovirus DNA replication and provide new insights into the replication functions of the NS1 protein.

Abstract
The capsids of minute virus of mice (MVM) consist of two closely related proteins, VP1 and VP2. We inactivated the VP1 gene in an infectious clone of MVM DNA by frameshift mutation. After transfection of mutated DNA, capsids consisting of VP2 only were made. They can package negative-strand DNA, and they specifically bind MVM 3'-terminal hairpin DNA.

Abstract
Feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV), mink enteritis virus (MEV), and canine parvovirus (CPV) are classified as a host-range variants. They show different host-range specificity in vivo and host-cell specificity in vitro. For instance, FPLV and MEV cannot grow or can grow only inefficiently in canine cell lines such as MDCK and the canine fibroma cell line A72. Here we have studied the mechanism(s) by which the different cell tropism is mediated in vitro. When FPLV or MEV was inoculated to A72 cells, viral DNA replicated slightly, few viral-antigen-positive cells were detected, and the culture fluid contained the threshold level of infectivity. On the other hand, when an infectious molecular clone of MEV (pMEV) was introduced into A72 cells, viral DNA replicated efficiently, and the culture fluid of pMEV-transfected cells contained much higher infectivities than that of MEV-infected cells. In spite of the restrictive growth in A72 cells, MEV could bind to A72 cells as efficiently as CPV. No detectable viral RNA was produced in MEV-infected A72 cells. In contrast, efficient viral transcription occurred in pMEV-transfected A72 cells. These results suggest that the restrictive infections of MEV and FPLV in A72 cells are not mediated by the attachment of the virus to the cells or by the events occurring after the viral transcription. It appears to be caused by the stage(s) in the virus replication cycle, which exists between a postadsorptional step required for virus penetration and the initiation of viral transcription.

Abstract
The topography of the Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV) G virion was analyzed with monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antiserum. There was homology between the two major structural proteins as others have previously reported. Trypsin treatment of the virion with subsequent immunoblotting revealed that VP2 represents the main peptide on the exterior of virion and that VP1 is probably embedded within the capsid. Additional analyses of the trypsin-treated virions showed that VP2 is responsible for binding complement and that it also represents the structural part of the virion that binds to cellular receptors. A third protein, p34, was detected that might represent a third structural polypeptide because of its many unique epitopes relative to the other peptides detected.

Abstract
The terminal hairpin structures of the DNA of minute virus of mice (MVM) are essential for viral replication. Here we show that the hairpin 3' terminus of MVM replicative-form DNA binds specifically to empty MVM capsids. Binding of the same terminal DNA sequence in its linear double-stranded (extended) conformation was not observed. After heat denaturation and quick cooling of 3'-terminal extended-form fragments, not only the virion strand but also the complementary strand was found to bind to the capsid, presumably because each strand re-formed a similar hairpin structure. No binding affinity for the capsid was found to be associated with hairpin or extended 5' termini or with any other region of the viral DNA. Hydroxyl radical footprinting analyses revealed three protected nucleotide stretches forming a binding site at the branch point of the two 3'-terminal hairpin arms looping out from the DNA stem (T structure). Single base changes within this site did not affect the binding. In band shift experiments, specific binding to the T structure was demonstrated for VPI but not for VP2.

Abstract
We have observed the binding of viral and cellular proteins to the Aleutian disease virus (ADV) 3' terminus of replicative-form DNA. Gel retardation assays showed specific band shifts produced by whole-cell extracts from either ADV-infected or uninfected cells, as well as band reduction produced by ADV capsids. In all cases, binding was confined to the turnaround, T-shaped terminal form; no binding to the extended conformation of replicative-form DNA was detected. This indicates the importance of the T-shaped secondary structure in protein recognition. We have previously reported the binding of a 3'-terminal ADV DNA restriction fragment to the ADV capsid protein VP1 (K. Willwand and O.-R. Kaaden, Virology 166:52-57, 1988). Here we show that the region between nucleotides 14 and 102 on the ADV genome is required for binding. It is suggested that the VP1-DNA interaction mediates the binding of ADV DNA to empty viral capsids and that this is followed by displacement synthesis and packaging of ADV progeny DNA. A scheme for the possible mechanism of this process is presented.

Abstract
Six-Aleutian (aa)-genotype violet mink were infected intraperitoneally with the Aleutian Disease Virus (ADV) bone marrow derived isolate ADV SL3. All animals developed virus-specific antibodies and hypergammaglobulinaemia. Mortality during the fourteen week duration of the infection was 50%. The virus induced (histo)pathological lesions typical for Aleutian Disease. By immunohistochemical examination using a virus capsid-specific monoclonal antibody viral antigen was detected in lymph nodes, spleen, kidneys and once in hepatic Kupffer cells. By Southern blot and in situ hybridization studies with strand-specific RNA probes able to distinguish viral replicative forms from merely sequestered genomic DNA, ADV replication was detected in mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen. In one mink DNA replicative forms were also found in bone marrow cells or mononuclear cells of the peripheral blood, respectively. Only single-stranded viral DNA was detected in liver, kidney, gut and lung of infected animals. From Southern blot hybridization results a different, possibly organ-specific permissiveness of ADV in vivo is suggested.
