Abstract
There are extensive interactions between viruses and the host DNA damage response (DDR) machinery. The outcome of these interactions includes not only direct effects on viral nucleic acids and genome replication, but also the activation of host stress response signalling pathways that can have further, indirect effects on viral life cycles. The non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway is responsible for the rapid and imprecise repair of DNA double-stranded breaks in the nucleus that would otherwise be highly toxic. Whilst directly repairing DNA, components of the NHEJ machinery, in particular the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), can activate a raft of downstream signalling events that activate antiviral, cell cycle checkpoint and apoptosis pathways. This combination of possible outcomes results in NHEJ being pro- or antiviral depending on the infection. In this review we will describe the broad range of interactions between NHEJ components and viruses and their consequences for both host and pathogen.

Abstract
The domesticated silkworm is an ideal and economic insect model that plays crucial roles in sericulture and bioreactor. Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is not only an infectious pathogen to B. mori, but also an efficient vector expressing recombinant proteins. Although, the proteomics of silkworm and BmN cell membrane lipid raft towards BmNPV infection had been investigated, proteome results of BmN cells upon BmNPV challenge currently remain ambiguous. In order to explore the interaction between silkworm and BmNPV, we analyzed several pivotal processes of BmNPV infected BmN cell by quantitative mass spectrometry. Our study indicated that a total of 4205 identified proteins, among which 4194 were with quantitative level. Concretely, during BmNPV infection, several transcription factors and epigenetically modified proteins showed substantially different abundance levels. Especially, proteins with binding activity, displayed significant changes in their molecular functions. Disabled non-homologous end joining by BmNPV reflects irreversible breakage of DNA. Nevertheless, highly abundant superoxide dismutase suggests that the cellular defense system is persistently functional in maintaining biochemical homeostasis. Our comparative and quantitative proteomics will be helpful to unravel the dynamics of B.mori after BmNPV infection and could provide new insights to decipher the mechanism of interaction between BmN cell and BmNPV.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is an infectious disease found worldwide. Children infected with MTB are more likely to progress to active TB (ATB); however, the molecular mechanism behind this process has long been a mystery. We employed the label-free quantitative proteomic technology to identify and characterize differences in plasma proteins between ATB and latent TB infection (LTBI) in children. To detect differences that are indicative of MTB infection, we first selected proteins whose expressions were markedly different between the ATB and LTBI groups and the control groups (inflammatory disease control (IDC) and healthy control (HC) groups). A total of 521 proteins differed (> 1.5-fold or < 0.6-fold) in the LTBI group, and 318 proteins in the ATB group when compared with the control groups. Of these, 49 overlapping proteins were differentially expressed between LTBI and ATB. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed most proteins had a cellular and organelle distribution. The MTB infection status was mainly related to differences in binding, cellular and metabolic processes. XRCC4, PCF11, SEMA4A and ATP11A were selected and further verified by qPCR and western blot. At the mRNA level, the expression of XRCC4, PCF11and SEMA4A presented an increased trend in ATB group compare with LTBI. At the protein level, the expression of all these proteins by western blot in ATB/LTBI was consistent with the trends from proteomic detection. Our results provide important data for future mechanism studies and biomarker selection for MTB infection in children.

Abstract
The suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) box consists of the BC box and the cullin 5 (Cul5) box, which interact with Elongin BC and Cul5, respectively. SOCS box-containing proteins have ubiquitin ligase activity mediated by the formation of a complex with the scaffold protein Cul5 and the RING domain protein Rbx2, and are thereby members of the cullin RING ligase superfamily. Cul5-type ubiquitin ligases have a variety of substrates that are targeted for polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Here, we review the current knowledge on the identification of Cul5 and the regulation of its expression, as well as the signaling pathways regulated by Cul5 and how viruses highjack the Cul5 system to overcome antiviral responses.

Abstract
The repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) is central to the maintenance of genomic integrity. In tumor cells, the ability to repair DSBs predicts response to radiation and many cytotoxic anti-cancer drugs. DSB repair pathways include homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). NHEJ is a template-independent mechanism, yet many NHEJ repair products carry limited genetic changes, which suggests that NHEJ includes mechanisms to minimize error. Proteins required for mammalian NHEJ include Ku70/80, the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs), XLF/Cernunnos and the XRCC4:DNA ligase IV complex. NHEJ also utilizes accessory proteins that include DNA polymerases, nucleases, and other end-processing factors. In yeast, mutations of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (TDP1) reduced NHEJ fidelity. TDP1 plays an important role in repair of topoisomerase-mediated DNA damage and 3'-blocking DNA lesions, and mutation of the human TDP1 gene results in an inherited human neuropathy termed SCAN1. We found that human TDP1 stimulated DNA binding by XLF and physically interacted with XLF to form TDP1:XLF:DNA complexes. TDP1:XLF interactions preferentially stimulated TDP1 activity on dsDNA as compared to ssDNA. TDP1 also promoted DNA binding by Ku70/80 and stimulated DNA-PK activity. Because Ku70/80 and XLF are the first factors recruited to the DSB at the onset of NHEJ, our data suggest a role for TDP1 during the early stages of mammalian NHEJ.

Abstract
Adenovirus inundates the productively infected cell with linear, double-stranded DNA and an abundance of single-stranded DNA. The cellular response to this stimulus is antagonized by the adenoviral E1B and E4 early genes. A mutant group C adenovirus that fails to express the E1B-55K and E4orf3 genes is unable to suppress the DNA-damage response. Cells infected with this double-mutant virus display significant morphological heterogeneity at late times of infection and frequently contain fragmented nuclei. Nuclear fragmentation was due to the translocation of apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) from the mitochondria into the nucleus. The release of AIF was dependent on active poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), which appeared to be activated by viral DNA replication. Nuclear fragmentation did not occur in AIF-deficient cells or in cells treated with a PARP-1 inhibitor. The E1B-55K or E4orf3 proteins independently prevented nuclear fragmentation subsequent to PARP-1 activation, possibly by altering the intracellular distribution of PAR-modified proteins.

Abstract
The E4orf6 protein of serotypes representing all human adenovirus species forms Cullin-based E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that facilitate virus infection by inducing degradation of cellular proteins that impede efficient viral replication. This complex also includes the viral E1B55K product believed to bind and introduce substrates for ubiquitination. Heterogeneity in the composition of these ligases exists, as some serotypes form Cul5-based complexes whereas others utilize Cul2. Significant variations in substrate specificities also exist among serotypes, as some degrade certain substrates very efficiently whereas others induce more modest or little degradation. As E1B55K is believed to function as the substrate acquisition component of the ligase, we undertook studies to compare the ability of representative E1B55K proteins to bind substrates with the efficacy of degradation by their respective E4orf6-based ligases. Interestingly, although efficient degradation in some cases corresponded to the ability of E1B55K to bind to or relocalize substrates, there were several examples of substrates that bound efficiently to E1B55K but were not degraded and others in which substrates were degraded even though binding to E1B55K was low or undetectable. These results suggest that transient interactions with E1B55K may be sufficient for efficient substrate degradation and that binding alone is not sufficient, implying that the orientation of the substrate in the ligase complex is probably crucial. Nevertheless, we found that the substrate specificity of certain E4orf6-based ligases could be altered through the formation of hybrid complexes containing E1B55K from another serotype, thus confirming identification of E1B55K as the substrate acquisition component of the complex.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cells orchestrate constant synthesis and degradation of intracellular components, including soluble proteins and organelles. The two major intracellular degradation pathways are the ubiquitin/proteasome system and autophagy. Whereas ubiquitin/proteasome system is involved in rapid degradation of proteins, autophagy selectively removes protein aggregates and damaged organelles. Failure of these highly adjusted proteolytic systems to maintain basal turnover leads to altered cellular homeostasis. During evolution, certain viruses have developed mechanisms to exploit their functions to facilitate their own replication, prevent viral clearance and promote the outcome of infection. In this article, we summarize the current opinion on adenoviruses (Ad) and molecular host cell targets, extending on recent evidences for protein degradation pathways in infected cells. We describe recently identified connections between Ad-mediated proteolysis and viral replication with main emphasis on the function of certain Ad proteins.

Abstract
Numerous host components are encountered by viruses during the infection process. While some of these host structures are left unchanged, others may go through dramatic remodeling processes. In this review, we summarize these host changes that occur during small DNA virus infections, with a focus on host nuclear components and pathways. Although these viruses differ significantly in their genome structures and infectious pathways, there are common nuclear targets that are altered by various viral factors. Accumulating evidence suggests that these nuclear remodeling processes are often essential for productive viral infections and/or viral-induced transformation. Understanding the complex interactions between viruses and these host structures and pathways will help to build a more integrated network of how the virus completes its life cycle and point toward the design of novel therapeutic regimens that either prevent harmful viral infections or employ viruses as nontraditional treatment options or molecular tools.

Abstract
In adenovirus E4 mutant infections, viral DNAs form concatemers through a process that requires host Non-homologous End Joining (NHEJ) proteins including DNA Ligase IV (LigIV). Adenovirus proteins E4 34k and E1b 55k form the substrate-selection component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase and prevent concatenation by targeting LigIV for proteasomal degradation. The mechanisms and sites involved in targeting this and other E3 ligase substrates generally are poorly-understood. Through genetic analysis, we identified the α2 helix of one LigIV BRCT domain (BRCT-1) as essential for adenovirus-mediated degradation. Replacement of the BRCT domain of DNA ligase III (LigIII), which is resistant to degradation, with LigIV BRCT-1 does not promote degradation. A humanized mouse LigIV that possesses a BRCT-1 α2 helix identical to the human protein, like its parent, is also resistant to adenovirus-mediated degradation. Thus, both the BRCT-1 α2 helix and an element outside BRCT-1 are required for adenovirus-mediated degradation of LigIV.

Abstract
Adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) inactivates the host cell DNA damage response by facilitating the degradation of Mre11, DNA ligase IV, and p53. In the case of p53, this is achieved through polyubiquitylation by Ad5E1B55K and Ad5E4orf6, which recruit a Cul5-based E3 ubiquitin ligase. Recent evidence indicates that this paradigm does not apply to other adenovirus serotypes, since Ad12, but not Ad5, causes the degradation of TOPBP1 through the action of E4orf6 alone and a Cul2-based E3 ubiquitin ligase. We now have extended these studies to adenovirus groups A to E. While infection by Ad4, Ad5, and Ad12 (groups E, C, and A, respectively) cause the degradation of Mre11, DNA ligase IV, and p53, infection with Ad3, Ad7, Ad9, and Ad11 (groups B1, B1, D, and B2, respectively) only affects DNA ligase IV levels. Indeed, Ad3, Ad7, and Ad11 cause the marked accumulation of p53. Despite this, MDM2 levels were very low following infection with all of the viruses examined here, regardless of whether they increase p53 expression. In addition, we found that only Ad12 causes the degradation of TOPBP1, and, like Ad5, Ad4 recruits a Cul5-based E3 ubiquitin ligase to degrade p53. Surprisingly, Mre11 and DNA ligase IV degradation do not appear to be significantly affected in Ad4-, Ad5-, or Ad12-infected cells depleted of Cul2 or Cul5, indicating that E1B55K and E4orf6 recruit multiple ubiquitin ligases to target cellular proteins. Finally, although Mre11 is not degraded by Ad3, Ad7, Ad9, and Ad11, no viral DNA concatemers could be detected. We suggest that group B and D adenoviruses have evolved mechanisms based on the loss of DNA ligase IV and perhaps other unknown molecules to disable the host cell DNA damage response to promote viral replication.

Abstract
The cellular surveillance network for sensing and repairing damaged DNA prevents an array of human diseases, and when compromised it can lead to genomic instability and cancer. The carefully maintained cellular response to DNA damage is challenged during viral infection, when foreign DNA is introduced into the cell. The battle between virus and host generates a genomic conflict. The host attempts to limit viral infection and protect its genome, while the virus deploys tactics to eliminate, evade, or exploit aspects of the cellular defense. Studying this conflict has revealed that the cellular DNA damage response machinery comprises part of the intrinsic cellular defense against viral infection. In this review we examine recent advances in this emerging field. We identify common themes used by viruses in their attempts to commandeer or circumvent the host cell's DNA repair machinery, and highlight potential outcomes of the conflict for both virus and host.

Abstract
In human cells, DNA double-strand breaks are repaired primarily by the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway. Given their critical nature, we expected NHEJ proteins to be evolutionarily conserved, with relatively little sequence change over time. Here, we report that while critical domains of these proteins are conserved as expected, the sequence of NHEJ proteins has also been shaped by recurrent positive selection, leading to rapid sequence evolution in other protein domains. In order to characterize the molecular evolution of the human NHEJ pathway, we generated large simian primate sequence datasets for NHEJ genes. Codon-based models of gene evolution yielded statistical support for the recurrent positive selection of five NHEJ genes during primate evolution: XRCC4, NBS1, Artemis, POLλ, and CtIP. Analysis of human polymorphism data using the composite of multiple signals (CMS) test revealed that XRCC4 has also been subjected to positive selection in modern humans. Crystal structures are available for XRCC4, Nbs1, and Polλ; and residues under positive selection fall exclusively on the surfaces of these proteins. Despite the positive selection of such residues, biochemical experiments with variants of one positively selected site in Nbs1 confirm that functions necessary for DNA repair and checkpoint signaling have been conserved. However, many viruses interact with the proteins of the NHEJ pathway as part of their infectious lifecycle. We propose that an ongoing evolutionary arms race between viruses and NHEJ genes may be driving the surprisingly rapid evolution of these critical genes. Because all cells experience DNA damage, they must also have mechanisms for repairing DNA. When the proteins that repair DNA malfunction, mutation and disease often result. Based on their fundamental importance, DNA repair proteins would be expected to be well preserved over evolutionary time in order to ensure optimal DNA repair function. However, a previous genome-wide study of molecular evolution in Saccharomyces yeast identified the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway as one of the two most rapidly evolving pathways in the yeast genome. In order to analyze the evolution of this pathway in humans, we have generated large evolutionary sequence sets of NHEJ genes from our primate relatives. Similar to the scenario in yeast, several genes in this pathway are evolving rapidly in primate genomes and in modern human populations. Thus, complex and seemingly opposite selective forces are shaping the evolution of these important DNA repair genes. The finding that NHEJ genes are rapidly evolving in species groups as diverse as yeasts and primates indicates a systematic perturbation of the NHEJ pathway, one that is potentially important to human health.

Adenoviral E4orf3 and E4orf6 proteins, but not E1B55K, increase killing of cancer cells by radiotherapy in vivo. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2010; 78:1201-9. [PMID: 20832189 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2010.05.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2009] [Revised: 05/13/2010] [Accepted: 05/25/2010] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Radiotherapy is widely used for treatment of many tumor types, but it can damage normal tissues. It has been proposed that cancer cells can be selectively sensitized to radiation by adenovirus replication or by using radiosensitizing transgenes. Adenoviral proteins E1B55K, E4orf3, and E4orf6 play a role in radiosensitization, by targeting the Mre11, Rad50, and NBS1 complex (MRN) and inhibiting DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. We hypothesize that combined with irradiation, these adenoviral proteins increase cell killing through the impairment of DSB repair. METHODS AND MATERIALS We assessed the radiosensitizing/additive potential of replication-deficient adenoviruses expressing E1B55K, E4orf3, and E4orf6 proteins. Combination treatments with low-dose external photon beam radiotherapy were studied in prostate cancer (PC-3MM2 and DU-145), breast cancer (M4A4-LM3), and head and neck cancer (UT-SCC8) cell lines. We further demonstrated radiosensitizing or additive effects in mice with PC-3MM2 tumors. RESULTS We show enhanced cell killing with adenovirus and radiation combination treatment. Co-infection with several of the viruses did not further increase cell killing, suggesting that both E4orf6 and E4orf3 are potent in MRN inhibition. Our results show that adenoviral proteins E4orf3 and E4orf6, but not E1B55K, are effective also in vivo. Enhanced cell killing was due to inhibition of DSB repair resulting in persistent double-strand DNA damage, indicated by elevated phospho-H2AX levels at 24 h after irradiation. CONCLUSIONS This knowledge can be applied for improving the treatment of malignant tumors, such as prostate cancer, for development of more effective combination therapies and minimizing radiation doses and reducing side effects.

Abstract
Recognition and repair of DNA damage is critical for maintaining genomic integrity and suppressing tumorigenesis. In eukaryotic cells, the sensing and repair of DNA damage are coordinated with cell cycle progression and checkpoints, in order to prevent the propagation of damaged DNA. The carefully maintained cellular response to DNA damage is challenged by viruses, which produce a large amount of exogenous DNA during infection. Viruses also express proteins that perturb cellular DNA repair and cell cycle pathways, promoting tumorigenesis in their quest for cellular domination. This review presents an overview of strategies employed by viruses to manipulate DNA damage responses and cell cycle checkpoints as they commandeer the cell to maximize their own viral replication. Studies of viruses have identified key cellular regulators and revealed insights into molecular mechanisms governing DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoints, and transformation.
