Abstract
Influenza A virus (IAV) continuously poses a considerable threat to global health through seasonal epidemics and recurring pandemics. IAV RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (FluPol) mediate the transcription of RNA and replication of the viral genome. Searching for targets that inhibit viral polymerase activity helps us develop better antiviral drugs. Here, we identified heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B (hnRNPAB) as an anti-influenza host factor. hnRNPAB interacts with NP of IAV to inhibit the interaction between PB1 and NP, which is dependent on the 5-amino-acid peptide of the hnRNPAB C-terminal domain (aa 318-322). We further found that the 5-amino-acid peptide blocks the interaction between PB1 and NP to destroy the FluPol activity. In vivo studies demonstrate that hnRNPAB-deficient mice display higher viral burdens, enhanced cytokine production, and increased mortality after influenza infection. These data demonstrate that hnRNPAB perturbs FluPol complex conformation to inhibit IAV infection, providing insights into anti-influenza defense mechanisms.

[PMID: 38868928 DOI: 10.1111/mmi.15284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
Many viral, protozoal, and fungal pathogens represent major human and animal health problems due to their great potential of causing infectious diseases. Research on these pathogens has contributed substantially to our current understanding of both microbial virulence determinants and host key factors during infection. Countless studies have also shed light on the molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions that are employed by these microbes. For example, actin cytoskeletal dynamics play critical roles in effective adhesion, host cell entry, and intracellular movements of intruding pathogens. Cortactin is an eminent host cell protein that stimulates actin polymerization and signal transduction, and recently emerged as fundamental player during host-pathogen crosstalk. Here we review the important role of cortactin as major target for various prominent viral, protozoal and fungal pathogens in humans, and its role in human disease development and cancer progression. Most if not all of these important classes of pathogens have been reported to hijack cortactin during infection through mediating up- or downregulation of cortactin mRNA and protein expression as well as signaling. In particular, pathogen-induced changes in tyrosine and serine phosphorylation status of cortactin at its major phospho-sites (Y-421, Y-470, Y-486, S-113, S-298, S-405, and S-418) are addressed. As has been reported for various Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, many pathogenic viruses, protozoa, and fungi also control these regulatory phospho-sites, for example, by activating kinases such as Src, PAK, ERK1/2, and PKD, which are known to phosphorylate cortactin. In addition, the recruitment of cortactin and its interaction partners, like the Arp2/3 complex and F-actin, to the contact sites between pathogens and host cells is highlighted, as this plays an important role in the infection process and internalization of several pathogens. However, there are also other ways in which the pathogens can exploit the function of cortactin for their needs, as the cortactin-mediated regulation of cellular processes is complex and involves numerous different interaction partners. Here, the current state of knowledge is summarized.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4112. [PMID: 38612921 PMCID: PMC11012870 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25074112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly lethal zoonotic virus with a potential large-scale outbreak, which poses a great threat to world health and security. In order to explore more potential factors associated with NiV, a proximity labeling method was applied to investigate the F, G, and host protein interactions systematically. We screened 1996 and 1524 high-confidence host proteins that interacted with the NiV fusion (F) glycoprotein and attachment (G) glycoprotein in HEK293T cells by proximity labeling technology, and 863 of them interacted with both F and G. The results of GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that most of these host proteins were involved in cellular processes, molecular binding, endocytosis, tight junction, and other functions. Cytoscape software (v3.9.1) was used for visual analysis, and the results showed that Cortactin (CTTN), Serpine mRNA binding protein 1 (SERBP1), and stathmin 1 (STMN1) were the top 20 proteins and interacted with F and G, and were selected for further validation. We observed colocalization of F-CTTN, F-SERBP1, F-STMN1, G-CTTN, G-SERBP1, and G-STMN1 using confocal fluorescence microscopy, and the results showed that CTTN, SERBP1, and STMN1 overlapped with NiV F and NiV G in HEK293T cells. Further studies found that CTTN can significantly inhibit the infection of the Nipah pseudovirus (NiVpv) into host cells, while SERBP1 and STMN1 had no significant effect on pseudovirus infection. In addition, CTTN can also inhibit the infection of the Hendra pseudovirus (HeVpv) in 293T cells. In summary, this study revealed that the potential host proteins interacted with NiV F and G and demonstrated that CTTN could inhibit NiVpv and HeVpv infection, providing new evidence and targets for the study of drugs against these diseases.

Abstract
Lung infection by influenza A virus (IAV) is a major cause of global mortality from lung injury, a disease defined by widespread dysfunction of the lung's air-blood barrier. Endocytosis of IAV virions by the alveolar epithelium - the cells that determine barrier function - is central to barrier loss mechanisms. Here, we address the current understanding of the mechanistic steps that lead to endocytosis in the alveolar epithelium, with an eye to how the unique structure of lung alveoli shapes endocytic mechanisms. We highlight where future studies of alveolar interactions with IAV virions may lead to new therapeutic approaches for IAV-induced lung injury.

Single particle tracking reveals SARS-CoV-2 regulating and utilizing dynamic filopodia for viral invasion. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2023; 68:2210-2224.

Abstract
Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) entry mechanism has been explored, little is known about how SARS-CoV-2 regulates the subcellular structural remodeling to invade multiple organs and cell types. Here, we unveil how SARS-CoV-2 boosts and utilizes filopodia to enter the target cells by real-time imaging. Using SARS-CoV-2 single virus-like particle (VLP) tracking in live cells and sparse deconvolution algorithm, we uncover that VLPs utilize filopodia to reach the entry site in two patterns, "surfing" and "grabbing", which avoid the virus from randomly searching on the plasma membrane. Moreover, combining mechanical simulation, we elucidate that the formation of virus-induced filopodia and the retraction speed of filopodia depend on cytoskeleton dynamics and friction resistance at the substrate surface caused by loading-virus gravity, respectively. Further, we discover that the entry process of SARS-CoV-2 via filopodia depends on Cdc42 activity and actin-associated proteins fascin, formin, and Arp2/3. Together, our results highlight that the spatial-temporal regulation of actin cytoskeleton by SARS-CoV-2 infection makes filopodia as a highway for virus entry and potentiates it as an antiviral target.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection in young children worldwide. Our group recently revealed that RSV infection disrupts the airway epithelial barrier in vitro and in vivo. However, the underlying molecular pathways were still elusive. Here, we report the critical roles of the filamentous actin (F-actin) network and actin-binding protein cortactin in RSV infection. We found that RSV infection causes F-actin depolymerization in 16HBE cells, and that stabilizing the F-actin network in infected cells reverses the epithelial barrier disruption. RSV infection also leads to significantly decreased cortactin in vitro and in vivo. Cortactin-knockout 16HBE cells presented barrier dysfunction, whereas overexpression of cortactin protected the epithelial barrier against RSV. The activity of Rap1 (which has Rap1A and Rap1B forms), one downstream target of cortactin, declined after RSV infection as well as in cortactin-knockout cells. Moreover, activating Rap1 attenuated RSV-induced epithelial barrier disruption. Our study proposes a key mechanism in which RSV disrupts the airway epithelial barrier via attenuating cortactin expression and destabilizing the F-actin network. The identified pathways will provide new targets for therapeutic intervention toward RSV-related disease. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Due to the low stoichiometry and highly transient nature of protein phosphorylation it is challenging to capture the dynamics and complexity of phosphorylation events on a systems level. Here, we present an optimized protocol to measure virus-induced phosphorylation events with high sensitivity using label free quantification-based phosphoproteomics. Specifically, we describe filter assisted protein digestion (FASP), enrichment of phosphopeptides, mass spectrometry, and subsequent bioinformatic analysis. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hunziker et al. (2022).
