Abstract
IMPORTANCE Autophagy is a conserved degradation process that maintains cellular homeostasis and regulates native and adaptive immunity. Viruses have evolved diverse strategies to inhibit or activate autophagy for their benefit. The paper reveals that CSFV NS5A mediates the dissociation of PP2A from Beclin 1 and the association of PP2A with DAPK3 by interaction with PPP2R1A and DAPK3, PP2A dephosphorylates DAPK3 to activate its protein kinase activity, and activated DAPK3 phosphorylates Beclin 1 to trigger autophagy, indicating that NS5A activates autophagy via the PP2A-DAPK3-Beclin 1 axis. These data highlight a novel mechanism by which CSFV activates autophagy to favor its replication, thereby contributing to the development of antiviral strategies.

[PMID: 37714433 PMCID: PMC10786662 DOI: 10.1016/j.virs.2023.09.002] [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: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The NS5A non-structural protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a multifunctional protein involved in viral genomic replication, protein translation, assembly of infectious virus particles, and regulation of cellular signaling pathways. Previous report showed that NS5A inhibited nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling induced by poly(I:C); however, the mechanism involved has not been elucidated. Here, we reported that NS5A directly interacted with NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO), a regulatory subunit of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex, to inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway. Further investigations showed that the zinc finger domain of NEMO and the aa 126-250 segment of NS5A are essential for the interaction between NEMO and NS5A. Mechanistic analysis revealed that NS5A mediated the proteasomal degradation of NEMO. Ubiquitination assay showed that NS5A induced the K27-linked but not the K48-linked polyubiquitination of NEMO for proteasomal degradation. In addition, NS5A blocked the K63-linked polyubiquitination of NEMO, thus inhibiting IKK phosphorylation, IκBα degradation, and NF-κB activation. These findings revealed a novel mechanism by which CSFV inhibits host innate immunity, which might guide the drug design against CSFV in the future.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF), caused by the classical swine fever virus (CSFV), is a highly contagious and fatal viral disease, posing a significant threat to the swine industry. Heat shock protein 90 kDa alpha class A member 1 (HSP90AA1) is a very conservative chaperone protein that plays an important role in signal transduction and viral proliferation. However, the role of HSP90AA1 in CSFV infection is unknown. In this study, we found that expression of HSP90AA1 could be promoted in PK-15 and 3D4/2 cells infected by CSFV. Over-expression of HSP90AA1 could inhibit CSFV replication and functional silencing of HSP90AA1 gene promotes CSFV replication. Further exploration revealed that HSP90AA1 interacted with CSFV NS5A protein and reduced the protein levels of NS5A. Since NS5A has an important role in CSFV replication and is closely related to type I IFN and NF-κB response, we further analyzed whether HSP90AA1 affects CSFV replication by regulating type I IFN and NF-κB pathway responses. Our research found HSP90AA1 positively regulated type I IFN response by promoting STAT1 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation processes and promoted the nuclear translocation processes of p-P65. However, CSFV infection antagonizes the activation of HSP90AA1 on JAK/STAT and NF-κB pathway. In conclusion, our study found that HSP90AA1 overexpression significantly inhibited CSFV replication and may inhibit CSFV replication by interacting with NS5A and activating JAK/STAT and NF-κB signaling pathways. These results provide new insights into the mechanism of action of HSP90AA1 in CSFV infection, which abundant the candidate library of anti-CSFV.

Abstract
Background and Objective DEAD-box protein (DDX)5 plays important roles in multiple aspects of cellular processes that require modulating RNA structure. Alongside the canonical role of DDX5 in RNA metabolism, many reports have shown that DDX5 influences viral infection by directly interacting with viral proteins. However, the functional role of DDX5 in virus-associated cancers, as well as the identity of DDX5 in virus infection-associated signaling pathways, has remained largely unexplained. Here, we further explore the precise functions of DDX5 and its potential targets for antiviral treatment. Methods We searched the PubMed and PMC databases to identify studies on role of DDXs, especially DDX5, during various viral infection published up to May 2022. Key Content and Findings DDX5 functions as both a viral infection helper and inhibitor, which depends on virus type. DDXs proteins have been identified to play roles on multiple aspects covering RNA metabolism and function. Conclusions DDX5 influences viral pathogenesis by participating in viral replication and multiple viral infection-related signaling pathways, it also plays a double-edge sword role under different viral infection conditions. Deep investigation into the mechanism of DDX5 modulating immune response in host cells revealed that it holds highly potential usage for future antiviral therapy. We reviewed current studies to provide a comprehensive update of the role of DDX5 in viral infection.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), a positive-sense RNA virus, hijacks cell host proteins for its own replication. Rab18, a small Rab GTPase, regulates intracellular membrane-trafficking events between various compartments in cells and is involved in the life cycle of multiple viruses. However, the effect of Rab18 on the production of CSFV remains uncertain. In this study, we showed that knockdown of Rab18 by lentiviruses inhibited CSFV production, while overexpression of Rab18 by lentiviruses enhanced CSFV production. Subsequent experiments revealed that the negative-mutant Rab18-S22 N inhibited CSFV infection, while the positive-mutant Rab18-Q67 L enhanced CSFV infection. Furthermore, we showed that CSFV RNA replication and virion assembly, measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and confocal microscopy, were reduced in cells lacking Rab18 expression. In addition, co-immunoprecipitation, GST-pulldown, and confocal microscopy assays revealed that Rab18 bound to the viral protein NS5A. Further, NS5A was shown to be redistributed in Rab18 knockdown cells. Taken together, these findings demonstrate Rab18 as a novel host factor required for CSFV RNA replication and particle assembly by interaction with the viral protein NS5A.

Abstract
Classical swine fever is a world organization for animal health listed disease and is caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV). CSFV can induced unfolded protein response (UPR) and whether NS5A protein plays a role in this process remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that CSFV induced all the three signal pathways ATF6, IRE1 and PERK of UPR. Furthermore, this phenomenon may be mediated by the NS5A protein since expression of NS5A alone can achieve the same effect. In the current study, we show that NS5A can interact with GRP78 as measured by using the CO-IP and GST pulldown assays. This interaction plays a positive role in the promotion of CSFV replication. Overexpression or knockdown of GRP78 mediated by lentivirus can enhance or decrease viral replication, respectively. Our findings provide the evidence that CSFV infection can activate the cellular UPRs, in which NS5A and GRP78 play key roles in the process.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a single-stranded RNA flavivirus that can cause serious diseases in porcine species, including symptoms of infarction, systemic hemorrhage, high fever, or depression. Viperin is an important interferon-inducible antiviral gene that has been shown to inhibit CSFV, but the exact mechanisms by which it is able to do so remain poorly characterized. In the present study, we determined that CSFV infection led to viperin upregulation in PK-15 cells (porcine kidney cell). When viperin was overexpressed in these cells, this markedly attenuated CSFV replication, with clear reductions in viral copy number after 12 to 48 hours postinfection. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that the viral NS5A protein colocalized with viperin in infected cells, and this was confirmed via confocal laser scanning microscopy using labeled versions of these proteins, and by co-immunoprecipitation which confirmed that NS5A directly interacts with viperin. When NS5A was overexpressed, this inhibited the replication of CSFV, and we determined that the radical SAM domain and N-terminal domain of viperin was critical for its ability to bind to NS5A, with the latter being most important for this interaction. Together, our in vitro results highlight a potential mechanism whereby viperin is able to inhibit CSFV replication. These results have the potential to assist future efforts to prevent or treat systemic CSFV-induced disease, and may also offer more general insights into the antiviral role of viperin in innate immunity.

The effect of classical swine fever virus NS5A and NS5A mutants on oxidative stress and inflammatory response in swine testicular cells. Res Vet Sci 2017; 112:89-96. [PMID: 28142057 DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2017.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2016] [Revised: 01/06/2017] [Accepted: 01/12/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Infection with classical swine fever virus (CSFV) results in highly significant economic losses; this infection is characterized by being highly contagious and accompanied by hyperthermia and systemic bleeding. Oxidative stress (OS) plays a critical role in the pathological process of viral infection. The function of the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) in the pathogenesis of CSFV has not been completely understood. Here, OS and the inflammatory response were studied with NS5A and substitution mutants in swine testicular (ST) cells. ST cell lines stably expressing CSFV NS5A or substitution mutants were established. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, antioxidant protein expression and inflammatory response were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), ELISA and flow cytometry analysis. The results showed that CSFV NS5A did not increase ROS production or the antioxidant protein (Trx, HO-1 and PRDX-6) expression in ST cells. However, NS5A inhibited cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, a pro-inflammatory protein related to OS. Further studies have shown that NS5A mutants S15A and S92A increased ROS production and inhibited antioxidant protein expression. S15A, S81A and T274A affected the inflammatory response. This study suggested that CSFV NS5A did not induce OS, and amino acids Ser15 and Ser92 of CSFV NS5A were essential for inhibiting OS. Additionally, Ser15, Ser81 and Thr274 played important roles in the inflammatory response in ST cells. These observations provided insight into the function of CSFV NS5A and the mechanism of CSFV persistent infection in ST cells.

Classical swine fever virus NS5A protein changed inflammatory cytokine secretion in porcine alveolar macrophages by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway. Virol J 2016; 13:101. [PMID: 27296632 PMCID: PMC4907015 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-016-0545-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2016] [Accepted: 05/24/2016] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Classical swine fever (CSF) caused by CSF virus (CSFV) is a highly contagious disease of the pigs. A number of studies have suggested that CSFV non-structural (NS) 5A protein is involved in CSFV-associated pathogenesis, but its mechanism is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of NS5A protein in CSFV-associated pathogenesis in cultured porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Methods After PAMs cultured in vitro were transfected with CSFV NS5A, the alterations in IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α expression were determined by ELISA, the RIG-I signaling activity related to inflammatory cytokine secretion was investigated by Western blot and Immunofluorescent staining. Results It was suggested that, the stable expressed CSFV NS5A solely had no influence on the expressions of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in PAMs Moreover, NS5A protein could suppressed IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α expression induced by poly(I:C). It was also showed that NS5A protein did not impair the expressions of RIG-I, MDA5, IPS-1, NF-κB and IkBα in cells without poly(I:C) stimulation. Protein expressions of RIG-I, MDA5, IPS-1, NF-κB were not disrupted by NS5A protein in poly(I:C)-stimulated cells, while poly(I:C)-induced NF-κB nuclear translocation and activity was obviously suppressed by this protein. A suppression in poly(I:C)-induced IkBα degradation in NS5A-expressing cells was also observed. Conclusion These data indicated that CSFV NS5A protein could inhibit the secretion of inflammatory cytokine induced by poly(I:C) through the suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway, indicating the participation of CSFV NS5A protein in the pathogenesis of CSFV.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of liver disease and has been estimated to infect approximately 2%-3% of the world's population. HCV genotype 1 is the subject of intense research and clinical investigations because of its worldwide prevalence and poor access to treatment for patients in developing countries and marginalized populations. The predominant subtypes 1a and 1b of HCV genotype 1 present considerable differences in epidemiological features. However, the genetic signature underlying such phenotypic functional divergence is still an open question. Here, we performed a genome-wide evolutionary study on HCV subtypes 1a and 1b. The results show that adaptive selection has driven the diversification between these subtypes. Furthermore, the major adaptive divergence-related changes have occurred on proteins E1, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B. Structurally, a number of adaptively selected sites cluster in functional regions potentially relevant to (i) membrane attachment and (ii) the interactions with viral and host cell factors and the genome template. These results might provide helpful hints about the molecular determinants of epidemiological divergence between HCV 1a and 1b.

Abstract
The non-structural 5A (NS5A) protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is proven to be involved in viral replication and can also modulate cellular signaling and host cellular responses via to its ability to interact with various cellular proteins. FKBP8 is also reported to promote virus replication. Here, we show that NS5A specifically interacts with FKBP8 through coimmunoprecipitation and GST-pulldown studies. Additionally, confocal microscopy study showed that NS5A and FKBP8 colocalized in the cytoplasm. Overexpression of FKBP8 via the eukaryotic expression plasmid pDsRED N1 significantly promoted viral RNA synthesis. The cells knockdown of FKBP8 by lentivirus-mediated shRNA markedly decreased the virus replication when infected with CSFV. These data suggest that FKBP8 plays a critical role in the viral life cycle, particularly during the virus RNA replication period. The investigation of FKBP8 protein functions may be beneficial for developing new strategies to treat CSFV infection.

Abstract
The NS5A protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is involved in the RNA synthesis and viral replication. However, the NS5A-interacting cellular proteins engaged in the CSFV replication are poorly defined. Using yeast two-hybrid screen, the eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) was identified to be an NS5A-binding partner. The NS5A-eEF1A interaction was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation, glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown and laser confocal microscopy assays. The domain I of eEF1A was shown to be critical for the NS5A-eEF1A interaction. Overexpression of eEF1A suppressed the CSFV growth markedly, and conversely, knockdown of eEF1A enhanced the CSFV replication significantly. Furthermore, eEF1A, as well as NS5A, was found to reduce the translation efficiency of the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) of CSFV in a dose-dependent manner, as demonstrated by luciferase reporter assay. Streptavidin pulldown assay revealed that eEF1A could bind to the CSFV IRES. Collectively, our results suggest that eEF1A interacts with NS5A and negatively regulates the growth of CSFV.

Abstract
The non-structural 5A (NS5A) protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is proven to be involved in viral replication and can also modulate cellular signaling via to its ability to interact with various cellular proteins. Here, HSP70/NS5A complex formation is confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation and GST-pulldown studies. Additionally, the N-terminal amino acids (29-240) of NS5A were identified as the interaction region through in vivo deletion analyses, and confocal microscopy showed that NS5A and HSP70 colocalized in the cytoplasm. Overexpression of HSP70 via the eukaryotic expression plasmid pDsRED N1 or lentivirus significantly promoted viral RNA synthesis. Whereas the knockdown of HSP70 by lentivirus-mediated shRNA or inhibition by quercetin markedly decreased the viral load. These data suggest that HSP70 plays a critical role in the viral life cycle, particularly during the virus RNA replication period. The investigation of HSP70 protein functions may be beneficial for developing new strategies to treat CSFV infection.

Abstract
Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is an important host factor regulating several key processes in many viruses. To evaluate the potential involvement of ANXA2 in the life cycle of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), an RNA interference (RNAi) approach was utilized. Knockdown of ANXA2 did not impair CSFV RNA replication but significantly reduced CSFV production. A comparable reduction of extracellular and intracellular infectivity levels was detected, indicating that ANXA2 might play a role in CSFV assembly rather than in genome replication and virion release. Furthermore, ANXA2 was found to bind CSFV NS5A, an essential replicase component. Amino acids R338, N359, G378 of NS5A were revealed to be pivotal for the ANXA2-NS5A interaction. Substitutions of these amino acids had no effect on viral RNA replication but substantially reduced CSFV production, which might partly be due to these mutations destroying the ANXA2-NS5A interaction. These results suggested that ANXA2 might participate in CSFV production process by binding NS5A.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), the pathogen of classical swine fever (CSF), causes severe hemorrhagic fever and vascular necrosis in domestic pigs and wild boar. A large number of evidence has proven that non-structural 5A (NS5A) is not only a very important part of viral replication complex, but also can regulate host cell's function; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In the current study, aiming to find more clues in understanding the molecular mechanisms of CSFV NS5A's function, the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system was adopted to screen for CSFV NS5A interactive proteins in the cDNA library of the swine umbilical vein endothelial cell (SUVEC). Alignment with the NCBI database revealed 16 interactive proteins: DDX5, PSMC3, NAV1, PHF5A, GNB2L1, CSDE1, HSPA8, BRMS1, PPP2R3C, AIP, TMED10, POLR1C, TMEM70, METAP2, CHORDC1 and COPS6. These proteins are mostly related to gene transcription, protein folding, protein degradation and metabolism. The interactions detected by the Y2H system should be considered as preliminary results. Since identifying novel pathways and host targets, which play essential roles during infection, may provide potential targets for therapeutic development. The finding of proteins obtained from the SUVEC cDNA library that interact with the CSFV NS5A protein provide valuable information for better understanding the interactions between this viral protein and the host target proteins.

Abstract
Recent studies show that classical swine fever virus (CSFV) NS5A is an essential replicase component, but it is not known how NS5A participates in viral particle production. In this study, deletion and substitution mutations were introduced into the C-terminus of CSFV NS5A. The efficiency of Core protein release and extracellular and intracellular infectivity levels were assessed and NS5A-Core interaction was investigated. These results suggested that CSFV NS5A was a key factor for the assembly of infectious CSFV particles. The C-terminal sequence from amino acids 478 to 487 and amino acids S481 and T482 were necessary for CSFV assembly and production. The effect of NS5A on CSFV assembly and production might be related to NS5A-Core interaction. T482 was found to be conserved in the C-terminus of NS5A proteins of pestiviruses and hepatitis C virus (HCV), therefore suggesting that it might be important for these virus assembly and production.

Abstract
To investigate whether cytoplasmic RNA helicase A (RHA) influences the expression and replication of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), an siRNA molecule targeted to RHA was transfected into PK-15 cells. The siRNA was found to reduce cytoplasmic RHA. In CSFV subgenomic replicon transfected cells, incubation with the siRNAs negatively impacted viral NS3 and RNA production. In the CSFV infected cells, treatment with the siRNA resulted in a significant reduction of viral replication by 65-70%. Furthermore, affinity chromatography and UV-crosslinking assays revealed that RHA can bind the 5' and 3' terminal region of CSFV 3'-untranslated region (UTR), the 5' terminal region and domain III of CSFV 5' UTR. All these regions are important for viral replication and translation. These data showed that RHA is involved in the expression and replication of CSFV and might participate in modulation of RNA synthesis, replication and translation of CSFV by binding these regions.

Abstract
In this report, classical swine fever virus (CSFV) NS5A inhibit viral RNA replication when its concentration reached and surpassed the level of NS5B. Three amino acid fragments of CSFV NS5A, 137-172, 224-268 and 390-414 individually were shown to be essential to NS5B binding. The former two fragments were independently necessary for regulation of viral RNA replication and correlated with NS5B and 3'UTR binding activity. We also found that amino acids W143, V145, P227, T246, P257, K399, T401, E406 and L413 of CSFV NS5A were essential to NS5B binding activity. Furthermore, these amino acids were shown to be necessary for viral RNA replication and infection and conserved in NS5A proteins of CSFV, BDV, BVDV and HCV. These results indicated that NS5A may regulate viral RNA replication by binding to NS5B and 3'UTR. NS5A can still regulate viral RNA synthesis through binding to 3'UTR when binding to NS5B is not available.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) causes a severe disease of pigs that is characterized by hemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and leucopenia. Until now, the role of the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) produced by CSFV in the pathogenesis of CSF is not well known. In this study, we investigated the function of CSFV NS5A by examining its role in the induction of oxidative stress and related intracellular events. Stable swine umbilical vein endothelial cell lines expressing CSFV NS5A were established and showed that CSFV NS5A is localized to endoplasmic reticulum and induces oxidative stress associated with enhanced reactive oxygen species production. The expression of NS5A protein exerts different effects on the three major antioxidants. Particularly, it exhibits a significant increase in transcriptional activities of antioxidant proteins thioredoxin and peroxiredoxin-6, but accompanied by a concomitant decrease of antioxidant protein heme oxygenase-1. Further studies showed that cyclooxygenase-2, a pro-inflammatory protein related to oxidative stress, is up-regulated while anti-inflammatory protein peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, an important mediator in vascular functional regulation, is down-regulated in CSFV NS5A expressing cells. This study suggested that CSFV NS5A plays important roles in the induction of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in vascular endothelial cells. These findings provide novel information on the function of the poorly characterized CSFV NS5A and provide an insight into the mechanism by which CSFV NS5A can alter intracellular events associated with the viral infection.

Abstract
In order to investigate molecular mechanisms of internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated translation in classical swine fever virus (CSFV), an important pathogen of pigs, the expression level of NS3 was evaluated in the context of genomic RNAs and reporter RNA fragments. All data showed that the NS5A protein has an inhibitory effect on IRES-mediated translation and that NS5B proteins suppress the inhibitory effect of NS5A on viral translation, but CSFV NS5B GDD mutants do not. Furthermore, glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay and immunoprecipitation analysis, associated with deletion and alanine-scanning mutations, were performed. Results showed that NS5B interacts with NS5A and that the region aa 390–414, located in the C-terminal half of NS5A, is important for binding of NS5B to NS5A. Furthermore, amino acids K399, T401, E406 and L413 in the region were found to be essential for NS5A–NS5B interaction, virus rescue and infection. The above-mentioned region and four amino acids were observed to overlap with the site responsible for inhibition of IRES-mediated translation by the NS5A protein. We also found that aa 63–72, aa 637–653 and the GDD motif of NS5B were necessary for the interaction between NS5A and NS5B. These findings suggest that the repression activity of the NS5B protein toward the role of NS5A in translation might be achieved by NS5A–NS5B interaction, for which aa 390–414 of NS5A and aa 63–72, aa 637–653 and the GDD motif of NS5B are indispensable. This is important for understanding the role of NS5A–NS5B interaction in the virus life cycle.

Abstract
To investigate the function of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) NS5A protein, the experiments for viral RNA synthesis and viral replication were performed in the co-presence of NS5A and NS5B. Results showed that small concentrations of NS5A stimulated, large concentrations of NS5A inhibited, viral RNA synthesis and viral replication. Affinity chromatography experiments and UV-crosslinking assays revealed that CSFV NS5A and NS5B bound its cognate 3'UTR and that NS5A had higher affinity than NS5B protein in binding to 3'UTR. 200 ng of NS5A inhibited NS5B-3'UTR complex formation by about 95%. CSFV 3'UTR was found to contain two NS5A-binding sites, located in 3'UTRSL-1 (nt 161-231) and 3'UTRSL-2 (nt 90-160), respectively, a NS5B-binding site, also located in 3'UTRSL-1. The 3'UTRSL-1 is the common binding site for NS5A and NS5B. Furthermore, competitive electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicated that binding of CSFV NS5A to 3'UTRSL-1 is more efficiently than to 3'UTRSL-2. These results suggested that the different concentrations of NS5A, the different binding activities of NS5A and NS5B to 3'UTR and binding of NS5A to different regions of 3'UTR might contribute at least partially to modulation of CSFV replication.

Abstract
The 5'-terminal sequence spanning nt 1-29 of the 5'-untranslated region of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) forms a 5'-proximal stem-loop structure known as domain Ia. Deletions and replacement mutations were performed to examine the role of this domain. Deletion of the 5'-proximal nucleotides and disruption of the stem-loop structure greatly increased internal ribosome entry site-mediated translation but abolished the replication of the replicons. Internal deletions resulting in a change in the size of the loop of domain Ia, and even removal of the entire domain, did not substantially change the translation activity, but reduced the replication of CSFV replicons provided the replicons contained the extreme 5'-GUAU terminal sequence. Internal replacements leading to a change in the nucleotide sequence of the loop did not alter the translation and replication activities of the CSFV RNA replicon, and did not influence the rescue of viruses and growth characteristics of new viruses. These results may be important for our understanding of the regulation of translation, replication and encapsidation in CSFV and other positive-sense RNA viruses.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious and often fatal disease of swine caused by CSF virus (CSFV), a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus within the Pestivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family. Here, we have identified conserved sequence elements observed in nucleotide-binding motifs (NBM) that hydrolyze NTPs within the CSFV non-structural (NS) protein NS4B. Expressed NS4B protein hydrolyzes both ATP and GTP. Substitutions of critical residues within the identified NS4B NBM Walker A and B motifs significantly impair the ATPase and GTPase activities of expressed proteins. Similar mutations introduced into the genetic backbone of a full-length cDNA copy of CSFV strain Brescia rendered no infectious viruses or viruses with impaired replication capabilities, suggesting that this NTPase activity is critical for the CSFV cycle. Recovered mutant viruses retained a virulent phenotype, as parental strain Brescia, in infected swine. These results have important implications for developing novel antiviral strategies against CSFV infection.

Abstract
To get more evidences for understanding the role of NS3 in viral translation, we observed the promotive effect of CSFV NS3 on IRES-mediated translation by using dicistronic and monocistronic systems containing the precise segment comprising CSFV IRES. The results for affinity chromatography and UV-crosslinking assays indicated that NS3 bound CSFV IRES and that CSFV NS5A and NS5B could reduce the IRES-NS3 interaction. Further experiments showed that the NS5A also bound the IRES and that NS3 and NS5A bound the same binding sites of the IRES, suggesting that NS3 and NS5A competitively bind the same sites in IRES RNA sequence, thus hampering the interaction CSFV NS3 and IRES. But, CSFV NS5B was not found to interact with the IRES. The inhibitive effect of NS5B on binding of CSFV NS3 to IRES was supposed to result from the NS3-NS5B interaction which has been documented.

Classical swine fever virus NS3 enhances RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by binding to NS5B. Virus Res 2009; 148:17-23.

Abstract
NS3 of pestiviruses contains a protease domain and a RNA helicase/NTPase domain. Contradictory results have been reported regarding NS3 in RNA synthesis. To investigate the effect of NS3 on classical swine fever virus (CSFV) NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity (RdRp) activity and NS3-NS5B interaction, RdRp reactions, GST-pull-down assays and co-immunoprecipitation analyses containing NS5B and either of NS3 protein and the different truncated NS3 mutants were performed, respectively. We found that NS3 stimulated NS5B RdRp activity in a dose-dependent manner by binding to NS5 through a NS3 protease domain. Furthermore, mapping important regions of the NS3 protease domain was carried out by deletion mutagenesis, associated with RdRp reactions, GST-pull-down assays and co-immunoprecipitation analyses. Results showed that stimulation of CSFV NS5B RdRp activity was obtained by NS3 binding to NS5B through a 31-amino acid fragment at the N-terminal end of NS3 protease domain, which mediated a specific NS3-NS5B interaction.
