Heat Shock Protein 90 Chaperones E1A Early Protein of Adenovirus 5 and Is Essential for Replication of the Virus. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22042020.

Abstract
Adenovirus infections tend to be mild, but they may pose a serious threat for young and immunocompromised individuals. The treatment is complicated because there are no approved safe and specific drugs for adenovirus infections. Here, we present evidence that 17-(Allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), an inhibitor of Hsp90 chaperone, decreases the rate of human adenovirus 5 (HAdV-5) replication in cell cultures by 95%. 17-AAG inhibited the transcription of early and late genes of HAdV-5, replication of viral DNA, and expression of viral proteins. 6 h after infection, Hsp90 inhibition results in a 6.3-fold reduction of the newly synthesized E1A protein level without a decrease in the E1A mRNA level. However, the Hsp90 inhibition does not increase the decay rate of the E1A protein that was constitutively expressed in the cell before exposure to the inhibitor. The co-immunoprecipitation proved that E1A protein interacted with Hsp90. Altogether, the presented results show, for the first time. that Hsp90 chaperones newly synthesized, but not mature, E1A protein. Because E1A serves as a transcriptional co-activator of adenovirus early genes, the anti-adenoviral activity of the Hsp90 inhibitor might be explained by the decreased E1A level.

Analysis of the spleen proteome of chickens infected with reticuloendotheliosis virus. Arch Virol 2017; 162:1187-1199.

Abstract
Infection with reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), a gammaretrovirus in the family Retroviridae, can result in immunosuppression and subsequent increased susceptibility to secondary infections. In the present study, we identified differentially expressed proteins in the spleens of chickens infected with the REV-A HLJ07I strain, using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis on samples from time points coinciding with different phases of the REV life cycle. Differentially expressed proteins were identified using one-dimensional liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (1D LC ESI MS/MS). Comparative analysis of multiple gels revealed that the majority of changes occurred at early stages of infection. In total, 60 protein spots representing 28 host proteins were detected as either quantitatively (false discovery rate [FDR] ≤0.05 and fold change ≥2) or qualitatively differentially expressed at least once during different sampling points. The differentially expressed proteins identified in this study included antioxidants, molecular chaperones, cellular metabolism, formation of the cytoskeleton, signal transduction, cell proliferation and cellar aging. The present findings provide a basis for further studies to elucidate the role of these proteins in REV-host interactions. This could lead to a better understanding of REV infection mechanisms that cause immune suppression.

Abstract
Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) proteins have been implicated in antiviral responses but PML and associated proteins are also suggested to support virus replication. One isoform, PML-II, is required for efficient transcription of interferon and interferon-responsive genes. We therefore investigated the PML-II contribution to human adenovirus 5 (Ad5) infection, using shRNA-mediated knockdown. HelaΔII cells showed a 2-3-fold elevation in Ad5 yield, reflecting an increase in late gene expression. This increase was found to be due in part to the reduced innate immune response consequent upon PML-II depletion. However, the effect was minor because the viral E4 Orf3 protein targets and inactivates this PML-II function. The major benefit to Ad5 in HelaΔII cells was exerted via an increase in HSP70; depletion of HSP70 completely reversed this replicative advantage. Increased Ad5 late gene expression was not due either to the previously described inhibition of inflammatory responses by HSP70 or to effects of HSP70 on major late promoter or L4 promoter activity, but might be linked to an observed increase in E1B 55K, as this protein is known to be required for efficient late gene expression. The induction of HSP70 by PML-II removal was specific for the HSPA1B gene among the HSP70 gene family and thus was not the consequence of a general stress response. Taken together, these data show that PML-II, through its various actions, has an overall negative effect on the Ad5 lifecycle.

Abstract
Plant growth during abiotic stress is a long sought-after trait especially in crop plants in the context of global warming and climate change. Previous studies on leaf epidermal cells have revealed that during normal growth and development, adjacent cells interdigitate anisotropically to form cell morphological patterns known as interlocking marginal lobes (IMLs), involving the cell wall-cell membrane-cortical actin continuum. IMLs are growth-associated cell morphological changes in which auxin-binding protein (ABP), Rho GTPases and actin are known to play important roles. In the present study, we investigated the formation of IMLs under drought stress and found that Erianthus arundinaceus, a drought-tolerant wild relative of sugarcane, develops such growth-related cell morphological patterns under drought stress. Using confocal microscopy, we showed an increasing trend in cortical F-actin intensity in drought-tolerant plants with increasing soil moisture stress. In order to check the role of drought tolerance-related genes in IML formation under soil moisture stress, we adopted a structural data mining strategy and identified indirect connections between the ABPs and heat shock proteins (HSPs). Initial experimental evidence for this connection comes from the high transcript levels of HSP70 observed in drought-stressed Erianthus, which developed anisotropic interdigitation, i.e. IMLs. Subsequently, by overexpressing the E. arundinaceus HSP70 gene (EaHSP70) in sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid), we confirm the role of HSP70 in the formation of anisotropic interdigitation under drought stress. Taken together, our results suggest that EaHSP70 acts as a key regulator in the formation of anisotropic interdigitation in drought-tolerant plants (Erianthus and HSP70 transgenic sugarcane) under moisture stress in an actin-mediated pathway. The possible biological significance of the formation of drought-associated interlocking marginal lobes (DaIMLs) in sugarcane plants upon drought stress is discussed.

Abstract
Adult T cell leukemia is a fatal malignant transformation caused by the human T-cell lymphoptropic virus type I (HTLV-I). HTLV-I is only associated with the development of this disease in a small percentage of infected individuals. Using two rabbit transformed T-cell lines; RH/K30 (asymptomatic) and RH/K34 (leukemogenic), we have investigated the expression of heat shock proteins (HSP) 90 and 70 and the role of anti-HSPs antibodies on virus production. HSPs surface expression was higher on RH/K34 than RH/K30 cells. Heat treatment of cells increased the expression of HSPs proteins and virus production; HSPs augmentation was stabilized after 12 h and virus production reached a maximum between 8 h-12 h then returned to normal level after 24 h of culture. Incubation of cells only with rabbit anti-HSP 70 antibodies prevented virus production specifically in the leukemogenic cell line. The results indicate a relationship between HSP 70 and virus production.

Abstract
Background Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an enveloped RNA virus, bearing severe economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. Previous virion proteomic studies have shown that enveloped viruses carry multiple host cellular proteins both internally and externally during their life cycle. To address whether it also occurred during NDV infection, we performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis of highly purified NDV La Sota strain particles. Results In addition to five viral structural proteins, we detected thirty cellular proteins associated with purified NDV La Sota particles. The identified cellular proteins comprised several functional categories, including cytoskeleton proteins, annexins, molecular chaperones, chromatin modifying proteins, enzymes-binding proteins, calcium-binding proteins and signal transduction-associated proteins. Among these, three host proteins have not been previously reported in virions of other virus families, including two signal transduction-associated proteins (syntenin and Ras small GTPase) and one tumor-associated protein (tumor protein D52). The presence of five selected cellular proteins (i.e., β-actin, tubulin, annexin A2, heat shock protein Hsp90 and ezrin) associated with the purified NDV particles was validated by Western blot or immunogold labeling assays. Conclusions The current study presented the first standard proteomic profile of NDV. The results demonstrated the incorporation of cellular proteins in NDV particles, which provides valuable information for elucidating viral infection and pathogenesis.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) contains binding sites for several host transcription factors that contribute to HIV-1 gene expression. Although previous reports have indicated that HIV-1 Nef positively or negatively regulates HIV-1 gene expression, the precise molecular mechanisms by which this occurs remain largely unknown. In this study, we report that Nef suppressed LTR-driven transcription only in the presence of HIV-1 Tat, which was localized to the cytoplasm and degraded by the proteasome. However, the depletion of Hsp70 was found to reduce the suppressive effect of Nef on HIV-1 gene expression. These results suggest that Nef suppresses Hsp70-mediated HIV-1 Tat activation.

Abstract
Recombinant virus-like particles (VLPs) have been shown to induce protective immunity. Despite their potential significance as promising vaccine candidates, the protein composition of VLPs produced in insect cells has not been well characterized. Here we report a proteomic analysis of influenza VLPs containing hemagglutinin (HA) and matrix M1 proteins from a human isolate of avian influenza H5N1 virus (H5 VLPs) produced in insect cells using the recombinant baculovirus expression system. Comprehensive proteomic analysis of purified H5 VLPs identified viral proteins and 37 additional host-derived proteins, many of which are known to be present in other enveloped viruses. Proteins involved in different cellular structures and functions were found to be present in H5 VLPs including those from the cytoskeleton, translation, chaperone, and metabolism. Immunization with purified H5 VLPs induced protective immunity, which was comparable to the inactivated whole virus containing all viral components. Unpurified H5 VLPs containing excess amounts of noninfluenza soluble proteins also conferred 100% protection against lethal challenge although lower immune responses were induced. These results provide important implications consistent with the idea that VLP production in insect cells may involve similar cellular machinery as other RNA enveloped viruses during synthesis, assembly, trafficking, and budding processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is the coronavirus of domestic chickens causing major economic losses to the poultry industry. Because of the complexity of the IBV life cycle and the small number of viral structural proteins, important virus-host relationships likely remain to be discovered. Toward this goal, we performed two-dimensional gel electrophoresis fractionation coupled to mass spectrometry identification approaches to perform a comprehensive proteomic analysis of purified IBV particles. RESULTS Apart from the virus-encoded structural proteins, we detected 60 host proteins in the purified virions which can be grouped into several functional categories including intracellular trafficking proteins (20%), molecular chaperone (18%), macromolcular biosynthesis proteins (17%), cytoskeletal proteins (15%), signal transport proteins (15%), protein degradation (8%), chromosome associated proteins (2%), ribosomal proteins (2%), and other function proteins (3%). Interestingly, 21 of the total host proteins have not been reported to be present in virions of other virus families, such as major vault protein, TENP protein, ovalbumin, and scavenger receptor protein. Following identification of the host proteins by proteomic methods, the presence of 4 proteins in the purified IBV preparation was verified by western blotting and immunogold labeling detection. CONCLUSIONS The results present the first standard proteomic profile of IBV and may facilitate the understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms.

Abstract
One of the most intriguing and less known aspects of the interaction between viruses and their host is the impact of the viral infection on the heat shock response (HSR). While both a positive and a negative role of different heat shock proteins (HSP) in the control of virus replication has been hypothesized, HSP function during the virus replication cycle is still not well understood. This chapter describes different aspects of the interactions between viruses and heat shock proteins during infection of mammalian cells: the first part focuses on the modulation of the heat shock response by human viral pathogens; the second describes the interactions of HSP and other chaperones with viral components, and their function during different steps of the virus replication cycle; the last part summarizes our knowledge on the effect of hyperthermia and HSR modulators on virus replication.

Abstract
Assembly of the adenovirus (Ad) homotrimeric fiber protein is nucleated by its C-terminal knob domain, which itself can trimerize when expressed as a recombinant protein fragment. The non-interlocked, globular structure of subunits in the knob trimer implies that trimers assemble from prefolded monomers through a dimer intermediate, but these intermediates have not been observed and the mechanism of assembly therefore remains uncharacterized. Here we report that expression of the Ad serotype 2 (Ad2) knob was toxic for thi- strains of Escherichia coli, which are defective in de novo synthesis of thiamine (vitamin B1). Ad2 knob trimers isolated from a thi+ strain copurified through multiple chromatography steps with a small molecule of mass equivalent to that of thiamine diphosphate (ThDP). Mutant analysis did not implicate any specific site for ThDP binding. Our results suggest that ThDP may associate with assembly intermediates and become trapped in assembled trimers, possibly within one of several large cavities that are partially solvent-accessible or buried completely within the trimer interior.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that the induction of the heat shock protein Hsp70 in response to viral infection is highly specific and differs from one cell to another and for a given virus type. However, no clear consensus exists so far to explain the likely reasons for Hsp70 induction within host cells during viral infection. We show here that upon rotavirus infection of intestinal cells, Hsp70 is indeed rapidly, specifically, and transiently induced. Using small interfering RNA-Hsp70-transfected Caco-2 cells, we observed that Hsp70 silencing was associated with an increased virus protein level and enhanced progeny virus production. Upon Hsp70 silencing, we observed that the ubiquitination of the main rotavirus structural proteins was strongly reduced. In addition, the use of proteasome inhibitors in infected Caco-2 cells was shown to induce an accumulation of structural viral proteins. Together, these results are consistent with a role of Hsp70 in the control of the bioavailability of viral proteins within cells for virus morphogenesis.

Abstract
Transient hyperthermia such as that experienced during febrile episodes increases expression of the major inducible 70-kDa heat shock protein (hsp72). Despite the relevance of febrile episodes to viral pathogenesis and the multiple in vitro roles of heat shock proteins in viral replication and gene expression, the in vivo significance of virus-heat shock protein interactions is unknown. The present work determined the in vivo relationship between hsp72 levels and neurovirulence of an hsp72-responsive virus using the mouse model of measles virus (MV) encephalitis. Transgenic C57BL/6 mice were created to constitutively overexpress hsp72 in neurons, and these mice were inoculated intracranially with Edmonston MV (Ed MV) at 42 h of age. The mean viral RNA burden in brain was approximately 2 orders of magnitude higher in transgenic animals than in nontransgenic animals 2 to 4 weeks postinfection, and this increased burden was associated with a fivefold increase in mortality. Mice were also challenged with an Ed MV variant exhibiting an attenuated in vitro response to hsp72-dependent stimulation of viral transcription (Ed N-522D). This virus exhibited an attenuated neuropathogenicity in transgenic mice, where mortality and viral RNA burdens were not significantly different from nontransgenic mice infected with either Ed N-522D or parent Ed MV. Collectively, these results indicate that hsp72 levels can serve as a host determinant of viral neurovirulence in C57BL/6 mice, reflecting the direct influence of hsp72 on viral gene expression.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is incorporated within the membrane of primate lentiviral virions. Here we demonstrate that Hsp70 is also incorporated into oncoretroviral virions and that it remains associated with membrane-stripped human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virion cores. To determine if Hsp70 promotes virion infectivity, we attempted to generate Hsp70-deficient virions with gag deletion mutations, Hsp70 transdominant mutants, or RNA interference, but these efforts were confounded, largely because they disrupt virion assembly. Given that polypeptide substrates are bound and released by Hsp70 in an ATP-hydrolytic reaction cycle, we supposed that incubation of HIV-1 virions with ATP would perturb Hsp70 interaction with substrates in the virion and thereby decrease infectivity. Treatment with ATP or ADP had no observable effect, but ATPgammaS and GTPgammaS, nucleotide triphosphate analogues resistant to Hsp70 hydrolysis, dramatically reduced the infectivity of HIV-1 and murine leukemia virus virions. ATPgammaS-treated virions were competent for fusion with susceptible target cells, but viral cDNA synthesis was inhibited to an extent that correlated with the magnitude of decrease in infectivity. Intravirion reverse transcription by HIV-1, simian immunodeficiency virus, or murine leukemia virus was also inhibited by ATPgammaS. The effects of ATPgammaS on HIV-1 reverse transcription appeared to be indirect, resulting from disruption of virion core morphology that was evident by transmission electron microscopy. Consistent with effects on capsid conformation, ATPgammaS-treated viruslike particles failed to saturate host antiviral restriction activity. Our observations support a model in which the catalytic activity of virion-associated Hsp70 is required to maintain structural integrity of the virion core.

Heat shock protein 72 expression allows permissive replication of oncolytic adenovirus dl1520 (ONYX-015) in rat glioblastoma cells. Mol Cancer 2005; 4:12. [PMID: 15762988 PMCID: PMC555846 DOI: 10.1186/1476-4598-4-12] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2004] [Accepted: 03/11/2005] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study we have made novel observations with regards to potentiation of the tumoricidal activity of the oncolytic adenovirus, dl1520 (ONYX-015) in rat glioblastoma cell lines expressing heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) due to permissive virus replication. ONYX-015 is a conditionally replicating adenovirus that is deleted for the E1B 55 kDA gene product whose normal function is to interact with cell-cycle regulatory proteins to permit virus replication. However, many murine and rodent cell lines are not permissive for adenovirus replication. Previously, it has been reported that the heat shock response is necessary for adenovirus replication and that induction of heat shock proteins is mediated by E1 region gene products. Therefore, we hypothesized that HSP72 expression may allow for permissive replication of ONYX-015 in previously non-permissive cells. Rat glioma cell lines 9L and RT2 were transfected with a plasmids expressing HSP72 or GFP. After infection with ONYX-015, no tumoricidal activity is observed in GFP expressing cell lines despite adequate transduction. In contrast, HSP72 transfected cells show cytopathic effects by 72 hours and greater than 75% loss of viability by 96 hours. Burst assays show active virus replication in the HSP72 expressing cell lines. Therefore, 9L-HSP72 and RT2-HSP72 are ideal models to evaluate the efficacy of ONYX-015 in an immunocompetent rat model. Our study has implications for creating rodent tumor models for pre-clinical studies with E1 region deleted conditionally replicating adenovirus.

Abstract
We previously conducted a phase I/II study using arterial infusions of ONYX-015 (dl1520), a replication-selective adenoviral vector, with E1b deleted, for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. No dose-limiting toxicities occurred, but >90% of the patients experienced fever. The effects of temperature on the replication of dl1520 in normal and transformed cells had not been studied. Therefore, replication and cell viability assays were performed with a panel of nontransformed and transformed cell lines cultured at 37 and 39.5 degrees C and treated with adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) or dl1520. Ad5-mediated cytolytic effects were inhibited and production of infectious particles decreased by >1,000-fold in the nontransformed cells at 39.5 degrees C. Seven of nine of the tumor cell lines retained significant cell-killing effects when treated with Ad5 at 39.5 degrees C. When dl1520 was used, no cytolytic effects were observed at 39.5 degrees C in the nontransformed cell lines; however, cytolytic effects occurred in six of nine tumor cell lines at 39.5 degrees C. Notably, a subset of the tumor cell lines demonstrated increased dl1520-mediated cytolytic effect and replication at 39.5 degrees C. Suppression of Ad5 and dl1520 replication at 39.5 degrees C was not related to p53 status or HSP70 expression. Also, at 39.5 degrees C, E1a expression was inhibited in nontransformed cells but was still abundant in the transformed cells, indicating that a novel early block in viral replication occurred in the nontransformed cells. Fever may therefore augment the therapeutic index of oncolytic viruses by inhibiting replication in normal cells while permitting or enhancing viral replication in some tumor cells.

Abstract
This review summarizes data on the presence and function of different heat shock proteins (Hsp) in the HIV virions and the infected cells. A 60 kD heat shock protein-like molecule is present in the envelope of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 which can specifically interact with the transmembrane glycoprotein gp41. The role of cholesterol in the so-called cholesterol-rich lipid raft where HIV is budding from the infected cells as well as the consequential insertion of cholesterol into the envelope of HIV virion are also discussed. Natural antibodies against 60 kD (Hsp60) and 70 kD (Hsp70) families of Hsp and cholesterol can be detected in most healthy individuals. HIV infection results in a sharp increase in the serum concentration of anti-Hsp70 and cholesterol antibodies whereas no difference in the concentration of anti-Hsp60 antibodies can be detected. Highly active antiretroviral therapy leads to normalization of the levels of both anti-Hsp70 and anti-cholesterol antibodies.

Abstract
Virus proliferation depends on the successful recruitment of host cellular components for their own replication, protein synthesis, and virion assembly. In the course of virus particle production a large number of proteins are synthesized in a relatively short time, whereby protein folding can become a limiting step. Most viruses therefore need cellular chaperones during their life cycle. In addition to their own protein folding problems viruses need to interfere with cellular processes such as signal transduction, cell cycle regulation and induction of apoptosis in order to create a favorable environment for their proliferation and to avoid premature cell death. Chaperones are involved in the control of these cellular processes and some viruses reprogram their host cell by interacting with them. Hsp70 chaperones, as central components of the cellular chaperone network, are frequently recruited by viruses. This review focuses on the function of Hsp70 chaperones at the different stages of the viral life cycle emphasizing mechanistic aspects.

Abstract
To determine if any heat shock proteins are incorporated into human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virions in a manner similar to that of the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase cyclophilin A, we probed purified virions with antibodies against heat shock proteins Hsp27, Hsp40, Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsc70, and Hsp90. Of these proteins, Hsp60, Hsp70, and Hsc70 associated with virions purified based on either particle density or size and were shown to be incorporated within the virion membrane, where they were protected from digestion by exogenous protease. Virion incorporation of Hsp70 was also observed with HIV-2 and with simian immunodeficiency viruses SIV(MAC) and SIV(AGM), but it appears to be specific for primate lentiviruses, since Hsp70 was not detected in association with Moloney murine leukemia virus virions. Of the HIV-1 genes, gag was found to be sufficient for Hsp70 incorporation, though Hsp70 was roughly equimolar with pol-encoded proteins in virions.

Abstract
Apart from alpha-helical coiled coils and the collagen triple helices, fibrous proteins can contain beta-structure in various conformations. Elongated enzymes such as pectate lyase and the bacteriophage P22 tailspike protein contain single-stranded beta-helices. Virus and bacteriophage fibers, which are often trimeric, have been shown to contain novel triple-stranded beta-structures such as the triple beta-spiral and the triple beta-helix. The conformation and folding of viral fibers containing beta-structure are discussed.

Abstract
Integration of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) proviral DNA in the nuclear genome is catalyzed by the retroviral integrase (IN). In addition to IN, viral and cellular proteins associated in the high-molecular-weight preintegration complex have been suggested to be involved in this process. In an attempt to define host factors interacting with IN, we used an in vitro system to identify cellular proteins in interaction with HIV-1 IN. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was chosen since (i) its complete sequence has been established and the primary structure of all the putative proteins from this eucaryote has been deduced, (ii) there is a significant degree of homology between human and yeast proteins, and (iii) we have previously shown that the expression of HIV-1 IN in yeast induces a lethal phenotype. Strong evidences suggest that this lethality is linked to IN activity in infected human cells where integration requires the cleavage of genomic DNA. Using IN-affinity chromatography we identified four yeast proteins interacting with HIV-1 IN, including the yeast chaperonin yHSP60, which is the counterpart of human hHSP60. Yeast lethality induced by HIV-1 IN was abolished when a mutated HSP60 was coexpressed, therefore suggesting that both proteins interact in vivo. Besides interacting with HIV-1 IN, the hHSP60 was able to stimulate the in vitro processing and joining activities of IN and protected this enzyme from thermal denaturation. In addition, the functional human HSP60-HSP10 complex in the presence of ATP was able to recognize the HIV-1 IN as a substrate.

Abstract
SV40 belongs to a group of DNA tumor viruses which induce the expression of the 70 Kd heat shock proteins, but the meaning of this induction remains unclear. Investigating the role of hsc70 in the SV40 life cycle, we found that the protein translocates to the nucleus late in infection of permissive CV1 cells, in contrast to infected nonpermissive BALB/3T3 and NIH/3T3 cells in which hsc70 remains cytoplasmic. Moreover, the pattern of hsc70 nuclear staining was diffused and clearly distinguishable from that observed after heat shock. In addition hsc70 late in infection coimmunoprecipitated with the viral capsid protein VP1, suggesting a role in the process of viral packaging. Interactions of hsc70 with the early viral oncoprotein T antigen were observed only in nonpermissive cells, indicating that the binding of the above proteins is specific to cells that do not support viral propagation. Finally, treatment of permissive CV1 cells with interferon gamma, a known antiviral cytokine, resulted in hsc70 binding to T antigen. Our results suggest that the role of hsc70 in the process of SV40 infection is directly related to the ability of the host cells to support viral propagation and is clearly different between permissive and nonpermissive cell lines.

Abstract
The response of pea embryonic tissues to the replication of a range of different viruses was investigated using in situ hybridization to analyze changes in the expression of two host genes, heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) and lipoxygenase (lox1). Excised pea embryos were infected using microprojectile bombardment with a nonseed transmissible strain of Pea seed-borne mosaic potyvirus, or with Pea early browning tobravirus (PEBV), White Clover mosaic potexvirus, or Beet curly top geminivirus. Collectively, these examples represent families of viruses with differing genomic features, differing numbers of genomic components and differing replication strategies. In all cases, there was an induction of hsp70 associated with virus replication and, in most cases, a downregulation of lox1. Hence, either each virus has a direct inducer of these common responses or the induction is indirectly the result of a generic feature of virus infection. By exploiting the bipartite nature of the PEBV genome, the coat protein gene and genes involved in vector transmission were excluded as potential inducers.

Abstract
Adenovirus fibres are trimeric proteins that protrude from the 12 fivefold vertices of the virion and are the cell attachment organelle of the virus. They consist of three segments: an N-terminal tail, which is noncovalently attached to the penton base, a thin shaft carrying 15 amino acid pseudo repeats, and a C-terminal globular head (or knob) which recognizes the primary cell receptor. Due to their exceptional stability, which allows easy distinction of native trimers from unfolded forms and folding intermediates, adenovirus fibres are a very good model system for studying folding in vivo and in vitro. To understand the folding and stability of the trimeric fibres, the unfolding pathway of adenovirus 2 fibres induced by SDS and temperature has been investigated. Unfolding starts from the N-terminus and a stable intermediate accumulates that has the C-terminal head and part of the shaft structure (shown by electron microscopy). The unfolded part can be digested away using limited proteolysis, and the precise digestion sites have been determined. The remaining structured fragment is recognized by monoclonal antibodies that are specific for the trimeric globular head and therefore retains a native trimeric structure. Taken together, our results indicate that adenovirus fibres carry a stable C-terminal domain, consisting of the knob with five shaft-repeats.

Abstract
P58(IPK), a member of the tetratricopeptide repeat and J-domain protein families, was first recognized for its ability to inhibit the double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase, PKR. PKR is part of the interferon-induced host defense against viral infection, and down-regulates translation initiation via phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 on the alpha-subunit. P58(IPK) is activated in response to infection by influenza virus, and inhibits PKR through direct protein-protein interaction. Previously, we demonstrated that the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 40 (hsp40) was a negative regulator of P58(IPK). We could now report that influenza virus activates the P58(IPK) pathway by promoting the dissociation of hsp40 from P58(IPK) during infection. We also found that the P58(IPK)-hsp40 association was disrupted during recovery from heat shock, which suggested a regulatory role for P58(IPK) in the absence of virus infection. The PKR pathway is even more complex as we show in this report that the molecular chaperone, hsp/Hsc70, was a component of a trimeric complex with hsp40 and P58(IPK). Moreover, like other J-domain proteins, P58(IPK) stimulated the ATPase activity of Hsc70. Taken together, our data suggest that P58(IPK) is a co-chaperone, possibly directing hsp/Hsc70 to refold, and thus inhibit kinase function.

Abstract
Previous work demonstrated that the adenovirus L1 52/55-kDa protein is required for assembly of viral particles, although its exact role in the assembly process is unclear. The 52/55-kDa protein's early expression, however, suggests that it might have other roles at earlier times during infection. To uncover any role the 52/55-kDa protein might have at early times and to better characterize its role in assembly, a mutant adenovirus incapable of expressing the 52/55-kDa protein was constructed (H5pm8001). Analysis of the onset and extent of DNA replication and late protein synthesis revealed that H5pm8001-infected 293 cells entered the late stage of infection at the same time as did adenovirus type 5 (Ad5)-infected cells. Interestingly, H5pm8001-infected cells displayed slightly lower levels of replicated viral DNA and late proteins, suggesting that although not required, the 52/55-kDa protein does augment these activities during infection. Analysis of transcripts produced from the major late and IVa2 promoters indicated a slight reduction in H5pm8001-infected compared to Ad5-infected cells at 18 h postinfection that was not apparent at later times. Analysis of particles formed in H5pm8001 cells revealed that empty capsids could form, suggesting that the 52/55-kDa protein does not function as a scaffolding protein. Subsequent characterization of these particles demonstrated that they lacked any associated viral DNA. These findings indicate that the 52/55 kDa-protein is required to mediate stable association between the viral DNA and empty capsid and suggest that it functions in the DNA encapsidation process.

Abstract
Entry of human adenovirus into cells is a two-step process, mediated in the first step by a specific interaction between the trimeric fiber protein and a specific receptor on the surface of susceptible cells. Because of the interest in human adenovirus as a vector for gene therapy, we have mapped domains in the fiber protein that are important for proper assembly of this trimeric structure and for proper addition of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (0-GlcNAc). Mutants of adenovirus type 2 fiber in this study were expressed in human cells by use of a recombinant vaccinia virus expression system that yielded protein indistinguishable from the fiber produced during adenovirus infection. The N-terminal half of the protein did not appear to influence fiber trimer formation, since deletions up to 260 amino acids (aa) from the N-terminal end as well as in-frame deletions within the shaft of the molecule still allowed trimerization; internal deletions in the shaft between aa 61 and 260 appeared to alter addition of 0-GlcNAc, as judged by loss of reactivity to a monoclonal antibody specific for this carbohydrate addition. Deletions from the C terminus of the molecule (as small as 2 aa) appeared to prevent trimer formation. Additions of amino acids to the C-terminal end of the fiber showed variable results: a 6-aa addition allowed trimer formation, while a 27-aa addition did not. These trimer-defective mutants were also relatively less stable, as judged kV pulse-chase experiments. Taken together, our results indicate that trimerization of the fiber requires at least two domains, the entire head (aa 400 to 582), and at least the C-terminal-most 15 aa of the shaft.

Abstract
Many stress proteins and their cognates function as molecular chaperones or as components of proteolytic systems. Viral infection can stimulate synthesis of stress proteins and particular associations of viral and stress proteins have been documented. However, demonstrations of functions for stress proteins in viral life cycles are few. We have initiated an investigation of the roles of stress proteins in eukaryotic viral life cycles using as a model the Ty3 retrovirus-like element of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During stress, Ty3 transposition is inhibited; Ty3 DNA is not synthesized and, although precursor proteins are detected, mature Ty3 proteins and virus-like particles (VLPs) do not accumulate. The same phenotype is observed in the constitutively stressed ssa1 ssa2 mutant, which lacks two cytoplasmic members of the hsp70 family of chaperones. Ty3 VLPs preformed under nonstress conditions are degraded more rapidly if cells are shifted from 30 degrees C to 37 degrees C. These results suggest that Ty3 VLPs are destroyed by cellular stress proteins. Elevated expression of the yeast UBP3 gene, which encodes a protease that removes ubiquitin from proteins, allows mature Ty3 proteins and VLPs to accumulate in the ssa1 ssa2 mutant, suggesting that, at least under stress conditions, ubiquitination plays a role in regulating Ty3 transposition.

Abstract
The relationship between viruses and the cellular stress response is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon which depends on the structural and genetic characteristics of the virus, on the type of infection, as well as on the environmental conditions. It is now well documented that infection of mammalian cells by several types of RNA and DNA viruses often results in alterations of the cellular stress response. Interactions between stress proteins and viral components have been described in a large variety of experimental models at different stages of the viral life cycle, depending on the type of virus and host cell. The presence of heat shock proteins in intact virions has also been described. On the other hand, induction of HSP expression by hyperthermia or other agents results in alterations of the virus replication cycle during acute or persistent infections of mammalian cells, and a possible role of heat shock proteins in the beneficial effect of fever and local hyperthermia during acute infection has been hypothesized. This chapter describes the different aspects of the interaction between viruses and the stress response, and discusses the possible role of stress proteins in the control of virus replication and morphogenesis.

Abstract
Members of the 70-kDa family of cellular stress proteins assit in protein folding by preventing inappropriate intra- and intermolecular interactions during normal protein synthesis and transport and when cells are exposed to a variety of environmental stresses. During infection of A31 mouse fibroblasts with polyomavirus, the constitutive form of hsp70, hsc70, coimmunoprecipitated with all three viral capsid proteins (VP1, VP2, and VP3). In addition, the subcellular location of hsc70 changed from cytoplasmic to nuclear late in polyomavirus infection, coincident with the nuclear localization of the viral capsid proteins. VP1 and VP2 expressed in Sf9 insect cells with recombinant baculovirus vectors also coimmunoprecipitated with an hsp70-like protein, and VP1 expressed in Escherichia coli coimmunoprecipitated with the hsp70 homolog DnaK. Capsid proteins expressed by in vitro translation coimmunoprecipitated with the hsc70 protein present in the reticulocyte translation extract. Therefore, the polyomavirus capsid proteins associate with hsc70 during virus infection as well as in recombinant protein expression systems. This association may play a role in preventing the premature assembly of capsids in the cytosol and/or in facilitating the nuclear transport of capsid protein complexes.

Abstract
Acute infection of mammalian cells with several types of RNA and DNA viruses often results in induction of heat-shock gene expression. The presence of hsp70 in intact virions, as well as the transient association of HSP with viral proteins and assembly intermediates during virus replication, has also been reported in several experimental models. Moreover, a possible role of heat shock proteins in the beneficial effect of fever and local hyperthermia during acute virus infection has been hypothesized. However, the role of HSP in virus replication remains to be defined. At the beginning of the 1980s, the use of virus models to investigate the molecular events that follow the exposure of mammalian cells to prostaglandins led to the serendipitous discovery that specific arachidonic acid derivatives are potent inhibitors of virus replication. This finding was rapidly followed by the observation that treatment of virus-infected cells with the antiviral prostaglandin A1 (PGA1) resulted in the accumulation of a 70 KDa cellular protein, which was identified as hsp70. It is now well established that cyclopentenone prostaglandins, which exert potent antiviral activity in several DNA and RNA virus models, induce hsp70 synthesis through cycloheximide-sensitive activation of heat shock transcription factor. This chapter discusses the role of heat shock proteins in the control of virus replication and summarizes the results of our recent work, which indicate that hsp70 is actively involved in the antiviral activity of prostaglandins.

Abstract
We have investigated the induction of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in mice infected with vaccinia virus. Vaccinia virus replicates to high levels in the ovaries of infected mice and causes a significant inhibition of host cell DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. Many HSPs are constitutively expressed in murine ovarian tissue at low levels, consistent with their obligatory role in normal physiological events. In contrast with these events, HSP expression was augmented in virus-infected mouse ovaries 6 days postinfection. In particular, there was a dramatic increase in the expression of a protein identified as the inducible 72-kDa HSP. Analysis of cellular mRNA confirmed this protein to be the major mouse inducible HSP70 and demonstrated its presence within virus-infected cells. Hence, we have demonstrated the expression of stress proteins during poxvirus infection in vivo.

Abstract
The possible physical association of heat shock proteins (Hsp's) with immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV) has been examined. The virions were purified by a) polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation and Sepharose 4B filtration, b) PEG precipitation and centrifugation over a Renografin gradient, or c) PEG precipitation and Matrex Cellufine Sulfate affinity chromatography. Western blotting revealed an Hsp60 related protein associated with HIV and SIV. Other Hsp's (such as Hsp70) were not detected, suggesting a specific interaction between Hsp60 and viral factors.

Abstract
We studied the impact of vaccinia virus infection on stress protein gene expression in human cells and investigated the possibility that eukaryotic heat shock proteins interact with viral components during assembly. Infection of human monocyte-macrophages by vaccinia virus caused a dramatic decrease in levels of cellular mRNAs such as those encoding actin and tubulin. In contrast, infection did not cause a significant reduction in the levels of Hsp90 and Hsp60 mRNAs and led to substantially increased levels of Hsp70 mRNAs. The accumulation of these stress protein mRNAs was due both to increases in their transcription rate and to their stability relative to other cellular mRNAs. The relative levels of the heat shock proteins and the other cellular proteins reflected the relative levels of their mRNAs. These results indicate that stress protein gene expression is relatively refractory to the generally deleterious effects of vaccinia virus infection on host cell gene expression. The continued expression of some of these stress proteins may be beneficial to the virus; the observations that the levels of Hsp70 are greatest at the peak of viral gene expression and that a large fraction of cellular Hsp70 is associated with vaccinia virus proteins suggest that Hsp70 is involved in vaccinia virus assembly.

Abstract
Soon after penetration of adenovirus serotype 2 in BHK-21 and HeLa cells, HSP70 and HSC70 proteins become associated with the viral capsid. By analysis with a polyclonal antibody derived from a fusion protein containing the C-terminal domain, 290 amino acids of HSP70, and using both immunological methods and infected cells fractionation we observed that a significant amount of HSP70 proteins moved to the nucleus and colocalized with the adenovirus particles. HSP70 proteins of infected cells were isolated as a complex cross-linked with intracytoplasmic adenovirus type 2. By coprecipitation, using a polyclonal-specific antiserum derived from the fusion protein, or two different monoclonal-specific antisera, we showed that HSP70 and HSC70 proteins were associated with hexon, the major adenovirus capsid protein.

Abstract
Members of the human heat shock (HSP) family of related proteins are involved in the intracellular folding, transport, and assembly of proteins and protein complexes. We have observed that human heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is associated with the capsid precursor P1 of poliovirus and coxsackievirus B1 in infected HeLa cells. Antiserum generated against HSP70 coimmunoprecipitated the poliovirus protein P1, an intermediate in capsid assembly. Similarly, alpha-virion serum coimmunoprecipitated HSP70 from virus-infected cell extracts, but not from mock-infected cell extracts. The HSP70-P1 complex was stable in high-salt medium but was sensitive to incubation with 2 mM ATP, which is a characteristic of other known functional complexes between HSP70 and cellular proteins. The P1 in the complex was predominantly newly synthesized, and the half-life of complexed P1 was nearly twice as long as that of total P1. The HSP70-P1 complex was found to sediment at 3S to 6S, suggesting that it may be part of, or a precursor to, the "5S promoter particles" thought to be an assembly intermediate of picornaviruses. The finding that HSP70 was associated with the capsid precursors of at least two enteroviruses may suggest a functional role of these complexes in the viral life cycles.

Abstract
Human cells (HEp-2) infected with adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) at early times (5-7 h) after infection exhibit stabilization of the filamentous actin network against disruption by latrunculin (300-2000 ng), a potent microfilament toxin. This protection is abrogated by pretreatment of infected cells with cycloheximide, suggesting that it is due to a protein induced early after Ad5 infection. Support for a role of HSP70 (heat shock protein of Mr = 70 kDa) in actin stabilization is based on several findings; (i) HSP70 is induced at early times post-infection in Ad5-infected HEp-2 cells, (ii) heat shock treatment (42 degrees C) of uninfected HEp-2 or HeLa cells results in a rearrangement of actin filaments around the nucleus, that is resistant to disruption by latrunculin, (iii) using a DNase I inhibition assay, the percentage of filamentous actin increases from 50 to 65% of total following heat shock of uninfected cells, and (iv) HSP70 induces actin polymerization from monomers in vitro.
