[PMID: 37821004 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
To decipher the functional characterization of Nucleophosmin 1a (NPM1a) from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) (CiNPM1a), its cDNA was cloned and bioinformatic analysis were conducted. The full-length cDNA sequence of CiNPM1a is 1732 bp, which encodes 307 amino acids. CiNPM1a contains conserved domains of Nucleoplasmin domain, NPM1-C terminal domain, as well as nuclear localization signals, nuclear export signal (NES) and acid patches. There are 52 and 20 consensus amino acids exist in the Nucleoplasmin domain and the NPM1-C terminal domain of all blasted species. In addition, the immune function of CiNPM1a were analyzed. The Ciirf7, Ciifn1 and Ciifn2 transcription was inhibited, whereas the vp2 and vp7 expressions were enhanced in CiNPM1a overexpressing cells after GCRV infection (P < 0.05). Moreover, the Ciirf7, Ciifn1 and Ciifn2 mRNA levels were significantly up-regulated, but the vp2 and vp7 expressions were significantly down-regulated in CiNPM1a knockdown cells after infection. This indicated that CiNPM1a played negative roles in the induction of Type I IFN reaction and thus the GCRV replication. Finally, the NES domain that affect the nucleous-cytoplasm shuttle and the replication of GCRV were investigated. The deletion of NES1 and NES(1 + 2+3) absolutely limited the transloacation of CiNPM1a△NES1 protein and CiNPM1a △NES(1 + 2+3) protein to cytoplasm after infection, and the deletion of NES2 resulted in partially limitation of protein shuttle. In general, Ciirf3, Ciirf7, Ciifn1 and Ciifn2 expressions were enhanced in the CiNPM1a△NES1, CiNPM1a△NES2 and CiNPM1a△NES3 overexpression groups, and the deletion of functional domains in CiNPM1a led to significantly reduction of the vp2 and vp7 replication. The results indicated that CiNPM1a may be a target molecular for GCRV infection curation, and a candidate molecular for resistance strain breeding of grass carp.

Bioinformatics and Functional Analysis of a New Nuclear Localization Sequence of the Influenza A Virus Nucleoprotein. Cells 2022; 11:cells11192957. [PMID: 36230922 PMCID: PMC9563117 DOI: 10.3390/cells11192957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Influenza viruses deliver their genome into the nucleus of infected cells for replication. This process is mediated by the viral nucleoprotein (NP), which contains two nuclear localization sequences (NLSs): NLS1 at the N-terminus and a recently identified NLS2 (212GRKTR216). Through mutagenesis and functional studies, we demonstrated that NP must have both NLSs for an efficient nuclear import. As with other NLSs, there may be variations in the basic residues of NLS2 in different strains of the virus, which may affect the nuclear import of the viral genome. Although all NLS2 variants fused to the GFP mediated nuclear import of GFP, bioinformatics showed that 98.8% of reported NP sequences contained either the wild-type sequence 212GRKTR216 or 212GRRTR216. Bioinformatics analyses used to study the presence of NLS2 variants in other viral and nuclear proteins resulted in very low hits, with only 0.4% of human nuclear proteins containing putative NLS2. From these, we studied the nucleolar protein 14 (NOP14) and found that NLS2 does not play a role in the nuclear import of this protein but in its nucleolar localization. We also discovered a functional NLS at the C-terminus of NOP14. Our findings indicate that NLS2 is a highly conserved influenza A NP sequence.

Lytic Reactivation of the Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) Is Accompanied by Major Nucleolar Alterations. Viruses 2022; 14:v14081720. [PMID: 36016343 PMCID: PMC9412354 DOI: 10.3390/v14081720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The nucleolus is a subnuclear compartment whose primary function is the biogenesis of ribosomal subunits. Certain viral infections affect the morphology and composition of the nucleolar compartment and influence ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription and maturation. However, no description of nucleolar morphology and function during infection with Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is available to date. Using immunofluorescence microscopy, we documented extensive destruction of the nuclear and nucleolar architecture during the lytic reactivation of KSHV. This was manifested by the redistribution of key nucleolar proteins, including the rRNA transcription factor UBF. Distinct delocalization patterns were evident; certain nucleolar proteins remained together whereas others dissociated, implying that nucleolar proteins undergo nonrandom programmed dispersion. Significantly, the redistribution of UBF was dependent on viral DNA replication or late viral gene expression. No significant changes in pre-rRNA levels and no accumulation of pre-rRNA intermediates were found by RT-qPCR and Northern blot analysis. Furthermore, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), combined with immunofluorescence, revealed an overlap between Fibrillarin and internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1), which represents the primary product of the pre-rRNA, suggesting that the processing of rRNA proceeds during lytic reactivation. Finally, small changes in the levels of pseudouridylation (Ψ) and 2′-O-methylation (Nm) were documented across the rRNA; however, none were localized to the functional domain. Taken together, our results suggest that despite dramatic changes in the nucleolar organization, rRNA transcription and processing persist during lytic reactivation of KSHV. Whether the observed nucleolar alterations favor productive infection or signify cellular anti-viral responses remains to be determined.

PLoS Pathog 2022; 18:e1010588. [PMID: 35709296 PMCID: PMC9242475 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
As intracellular parasites, viruses exploit cellular proteins at every stage of infection. Adenovirus outbreaks are associated with severe acute respiratory illnesses and conjunctivitis, with no specific antiviral therapy available. An adenoviral vaccine based on human adenovirus species D (HAdV-D) is currently in use for COVID-19. Herein, we investigate host interactions of HAdV-D type 37 (HAdV-D37) protein IIIa (pIIIa), identified by affinity purification and mass spectrometry (AP-MS) screens. We demonstrate that viral pIIIa interacts with ubiquitin-specific protease 9x (USP9x) and Ran-binding protein 2 (RANBP2). USP9x binding did not invoke its signature deubiquitination function but rather deregulated pIIIa-RANBP2 interactions. In USP9x-knockout cells, viral genome replication and viral protein expression increased compared to wild type cells, supporting a host-favored mechanism for USP9x. Conversely, RANBP2-knock down reduced pIIIa transport to the nucleus, viral genome replication, and viral protein expression. Also, RANBP2-siRNA pretreated cells appeared to contain fewer mature viral particles. Transmission electron microscopy of USP9x-siRNA pretreated, virus-infected cells revealed larger than typical paracrystalline viral arrays. RANBP2-siRNA pretreatment led to the accumulation of defective assembly products at an early maturation stage. CRM1 nuclear export blockade by leptomycin B led to the retention of pIIIa within cell nuclei and hindered pIIIa-RANBP2 interactions. In-vitro binding analyses indicated that USP9x and RANBP2 bind to C-terminus of pIIIa amino acids 386–563 and 386–510, respectively. Surface plasmon resonance testing showed direct pIIIa interaction with recombinant USP9x and RANBP2 proteins, without competition. Using an alternative and genetically disparate adenovirus type (HAdV-C5), we show that the demonstrated pIIIa interaction is also important for a severe respiratory pathogen. Together, our results suggest that pIIIa hijacks RANBP2 for nuclear import and subsequent virion assembly. USP9x counteracts this interaction and negatively regulates virion synthesis. This analysis extends the scope of known adenovirus-host interactions and has potential implications in designing new antiviral therapeutics. The compact genomes of viruses must code for proteins with multiple functions, including those that assist with cell entry, replication, and escape from the host immune defenses. Viruses succeed in every stage of this process by hijacking critical cellular proteins for their propagation. Hence, identifying virus-host protein interactions may permit identifying therapeutic applications that restrict viral processes. Human adenovirus structural proteins link together to produce infectious virions. Protein IIIa is required to assemble fully packaged virions, but its interactions with host factors are unknown. Here, we identify novel host protein interactions of pIIIa with cellular RANBP2 and USP9x. We demonstrate that by interacting with cellular RANBP2, viral pIIIa gains entry to the nucleus for subsequent virion assembly and replication. Reduced RANBP2 expression inhibited pIIIa entry into the nucleus, minimized viral replication and viral protein expression, and led to accumulation of defective assembly products in the infected cells. As a defense against viral infection, USP9x reduces the interaction between pIIIa and RANBP2, resulting in decreased viral propagation. We also show that the identified pIIIa-host interactions are crucial in two disparate HAdV types with diverse disease implications.

Abstract
Antiviral defense and virus exclusion from the cell nucleus restrict foreign nucleic acid influx and infection. How the genomes of DNA viruses evade cytosolic pattern recognition and cross the nuclear envelope is incompletely understood. Here, we show that the virion protein V of adenovirus functions as a linchpin between the genome and the capsid, thereby securing particle integrity. Absence of protein V destabilizes cytoplasmic particles and promotes premature genome release, raising cytokine levels through the DNA sensor cGAS. Non-ubiquitinable V yields stable virions, genome misdelivery to the cytoplasm, and increased cytokine levels. In contrast, normal protein V is ubiquitinated at the nuclear pore complex, dissociates from the virion depending on the E3 ubiquitin ligase Mib1 and the proteasome, and allows genome delivery into the nucleus for infection. Our data uncover previously unknown cellular and viral mechanisms of viral DNA nuclear import in pathogenesis, vaccination, gene therapy, and synthetic biology.

Abstract
Cytotoxic lymphocytes produce granules armed with a set of 5 serine proteases (granzymes (Gzms)), which, together with the pore-forming protein (perforin), serve as a major defense against viral infections in humans. This granule-exocytosis pathway subsumes a well-established mechanism in which target cell death is induced upon perforin-mediated entry of Gzms and subsequent activation of various (apoptosis) pathways. In the past decade, however, a growing body of evidence demonstrated that Gzms also inhibit viral replication and potential reactivation in cell death–independent manners. For example, Gzms can induce proteolysis of viral or host cell proteins necessary for the viral entry, release, or intracellular trafficking, as well as augment pro-inflammatory antiviral cytokine response. In this review, we summarize current evidence for the noncytotoxic mechanisms and roles by which killer cells can use Gzms to combat viral infections, and we discuss the potential thereof for the development of novel therapies.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) is a recently discovered virus with potentially significant implications on the global swine industry. PCV3 replication involves the entry of the viral capsid (Cap) protein with nucleolar localization signals into the nucleus. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, nucleolar phosphoprotein NPM1 was identified as one of the cellular proteins bound to PCV3 Cap. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that PCV3 Cap interacts directly with NPM1, where the region binding with NPM1 is mapped to amino acid residues 1–38 of Cap. Upon co-transfection, the expression of Cap protein promoted the redistribution of NPM1, which translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and colocalized with Cap in cultured PK15 cells. NPM1 expression was upregulated and translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in PCV3-infected cells, upon siRNA-mediated depletion, or upon treatment with NPM1 inhibitor in PK15 cells with impaired PCV3 replication, as evidenced by decreased levels of viral DNA synthesis and protein expression. By contrast, the replication of PCV3 was enhanced in stably NPM1-expressing cells via a lentivirus-delivered system. Taken together, these findings indicate that NPM1 interacts with PCV3 Cap and plays a crucial role in PCV3 replication.

Abstract
Incoming adenoviruses seize control of cytosolic transport mechanisms to relocate their genome from the cell periphery to specialized sites in the nucleoplasm. The nucleus is the site for viral gene expression, genome replication, and the production of progeny for the next round of infection. By taking control of the cell, adenoviruses also suppress cell-autonomous immunity responses. To succeed in their production cycle, adenoviruses rely on well-coordinated steps, facilitated by interactions between viral proteins and cellular factors. Interactions between virus and host can impose remarkable morphological changes in the infected cell. Imaging adenoviruses has tremendously influenced how we delineate individual steps in the viral life cycle, because it allowed the development of specific optical markers to label these morphological changes in space and time. As technology advances, innovative imaging techniques and novel tools for specimen labeling keep uncovering previously unseen facets of adenovirus biology emphasizing why imaging adenoviruses is as attractive today as it was in the past. This review will summarize past achievements and present developments in adenovirus imaging centered on fluorescence microscopy approaches.

Abstract
The adenovirus (Ad) genome is believed to be packaged into the virion by forming a chromatin-like structure. The replicated viral genome is likely to be condensed through binding with viral core proteins before encapsidation. Replicated viral genomes accumulate in the central region of the nucleus, which we termed virus-induced postreplication (ViPR) body. However, the molecular mechanism by which the nuclear structure is reorganized and its functional significance in virus production are currently not understood. In this study, we found that viral packaging protein IVa2, but not capsid proteins, accumulated in the ViPR body. In addition, nucleolar chromatin regulatory proteins, nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), upstream binding factor, and nucleolin accumulated in the ViPR body in late-stage Ad infection. NPM1 depletion increased the nuclease-resistant viral genome and delayed the ViPR body formation. These results suggested that structural changes in the infected cell nucleus depend on the formation of viral chromatin by host chromatin regulatory proteins. Because NPM1 depletion decreases production of the infectious virion, we propose that host factor-mediated viral chromatin remodeling and concomitant ViPR body formation are prerequisites for efficient encapsidation of Ad chromatin.

Cellular Zinc Finger Protein 622 Hinders Human Adenovirus Lytic Growth and Limits Binding of the Viral pVII Protein to Virus DNA. J Virol 2019; 93:JVI.01628-18.

Abstract
Human adenovirus (HAdV) encodes a multifunctional DNA-binding protein pVII, which is involved in virus DNA packaging and extracellular immune signaling regulation. Although the pVII is an essential viral protein, its exact role in the virus life cycle and interplay with cellular proteins have remained to a large extent unclear. We have recently identified the cellular zinc finger protein 622 (ZNF622) as a potential pVII-interacting protein. In this study, we describe the functional consequences of the ZNF622-pVII interplay and the role of ZNF622 in the HAdV life cycle. ZNF622 protein expression increased, and it accumulated similarly to the pVII protein in the nuclei of virus-infected cells. The lack of the ZNF622 protein specifically increased pVII binding to viral DNA in the infected cells and elevated the pVII protein levels in the purified virions. In addition, ZNF622 knockout cells showed an increased cell lysis and enhanced accumulation of the infectious virus particles. Protein interaction studies revealed that ZNF622 forms a trimeric complex with the pVII protein and the cellular histone chaperon protein nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1). The integrity of this complex is important since ZNF622 mutations and NPM1 deficiency changed pVII ability to bind viral DNA. Collectively, our results implicate that ZNF622 may act as a cellular antiviral protein hindering lytic HAdV growth and limiting pVII protein binding to viral DNA.IMPORTANCE Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are common human pathogens causing a wide range of acute infections. To counteract viral pathogenicity, cells encode a variety of antiviral proteins and noncoding RNAs to block virus growth. In this study, we show that the cellular zinc finger protein 622 (ZNF622) interacts with an essential HAdV protein known as pVII. This mutual interaction limits pVII binding to viral DNA. Further, ZNF622 has a role in HAdV life cycle since the lack of ZNF622 correlates with increased lysis of the infected cells and accumulation of the infectious virions. Together, our study reveals a novel cellular antiviral protein ZNF622, which may impede lytic HAdV growth.

Human Adenovirus Core Protein V Is Targeted by the Host SUMOylation Machinery To Limit Essential Viral Functions. J Virol 2018; 92:JVI.01451-17.

Abstract
Human adenoviruses (HAdV) are nonenveloped viruses containing a linear, double-stranded DNA genome surrounded by an icosahedral capsid. To allow proper viral replication, the genome is imported through the nuclear pore complex associated with viral core proteins. Until now, the role of these incoming virion proteins during the early phase of infection was poorly understood. The core protein V is speculated to bridge the core and the surrounding capsid. It binds the genome in a sequence-independent manner and localizes in the nucleus of infected cells, accumulating at nucleoli. Here, we show that protein V contains conserved SUMO conjugation motifs (SCMs). Mutation of these consensus motifs resulted in reduced SUMOylation of the protein; thus, protein V represents a novel target of the host SUMOylation machinery. To understand the role of protein V SUMO posttranslational modification during productive HAdV infection, we generated a replication-competent HAdV with SCM mutations within the protein V coding sequence. Phenotypic analyses revealed that these SCM mutations are beneficial for adenoviral replication. Blocking protein V SUMOylation at specific sites shifts the onset of viral DNA replication to earlier time points during infection and promotes viral gene expression. Simultaneously, the altered kinetics within the viral life cycle are accompanied by more efficient proteasomal degradation of host determinants and increased virus progeny production than that observed during wild-type infection. Taken together, our studies show that protein V SUMOylation reduces virus growth; hence, protein V SUMOylation represents an important novel aspect of the host antiviral strategy to limit virus replication and thereby points to potential intervention strategies.IMPORTANCE Many decades of research have revealed that HAdV structural proteins promote viral entry and mainly physical stability of the viral genome in the capsid. Our work over the last years showed that this concept needs expansion as the functions are more diverse. We showed that capsid protein VI regulates the antiviral response by modulation of the transcription factor Daxx during infection. Moreover, core protein VII interacts with SPOC1 restriction factor, which is beneficial for efficient viral gene expression. Here, we were able to show that core protein V also represents a novel substrate of the host SUMOylation machinery and contains several conserved SCMs; mutation of these consensus motifs reduced SUMOylation of the protein. Unexpectedly, we observed that introducing these mutations into HAdV promotes adenoviral replication. In conclusion, we offer novel insights into adenovirus core proteins and provide evidence that SUMOylation of HAdV factors regulates replication efficiency.

Abstract
Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) contain minimal viral proteins necessary for their replication. During virus assembly, AAV acquire, inherently and submissively, various cellular proteins. Our previous studies identified the association of AAV vectors with the DNA binding protein nucleophosmin (NPM1). Nucleophosmin has been reported to enhance AAV infection by mobilizing AAV capsids into and out of the nucleolus, indicating the importance of NPM1 in the AAV life cycle; however the role of NPM1 in AAV production remains unknown. In this study, we systematically investigated NPM1 function on AAV production using NPM1 knockdown cells and revealing for the first time the presence of G-quadruplex DNA sequences (GQRS) in the AAV genome, the synergistic NPM1-GQRS function in AAV production and the significant enhancement of NPM1 gene knockdown on AAV vector production. Understanding the role of cellular proteins in the AAV life cycle will greatly facilitate high titre production of AAV vectors for clinical use.

Abstract
Nucleolar proteins facilitate the replication of certain human and animal viruses through interaction with viral proteins. In this study, an interaction between nervous necrosis virus capsid protein and nucleolar phosphoprotein B23 was identified using in vitro experimental approaches. The capsid protein binds to B23 early during the viral infection and accumulates in the nucleus, particularly in the nucleolus. However, over the course of the infection B23 is redistributed from the nucleoli to the nucleoplasm. siRNA-mediated knockdown of B23 reduced viral replication and cytopathic effect. Thus, B23 targets capsid protein to the nucleus and facilitates NNV replication. The results provide the first demonstration that nucleolar protein B23 has a direct role in the nodavirus replication process.

Abstract
In adenoviral virions, the genome is organized into a chromatin-like structure by viral basic core proteins. Consequently viral DNAs must be replicated, chromatinized and packed into progeny virions in infected cells. Although viral DNA replication centers can be visualized by virtue of viral and cellular factors, the spatiotemporal regulation of viral genomes during subsequent steps remains to be elucidated. In this study, we used imaging analyses to examine the fate of adenoviral genomes and to track newly replicated viral DNA as well as replication-related factors. We show de novo formation of a subnuclear domain, which we termed Virus-induced Post-Replication (ViPR) body, that emerges concomitantly with or immediately after disintegration of initial replication centers. Using a nucleoside analogue, we show that viral genomes continue being synthesized in morphologically distinct replication compartments at the periphery of ViPR bodies and are then transported inward. In addition, we identified a nucleolar protein Mybbp1a as a molecular marker for ViPR bodies, which specifically associated with viral core protein VII. In conclusion, our work demonstrates the formation of previously uncharacterized viral DNA replication compartments specific for late phases of infection that produce progeny viral genomes accumulating in ViPR bodies.

Abstract
Members of the genus Mastadenovirus including bovine adenovirus 3 (BAdV-3) encode a genus-specific unique protein named pV. The pV encoded by BAdV-3 is a protein of 423 aa showing 40.9 % identity to pV of human adenovirus 2. Here, we report the construction and analysis of recombinant BAdV-3 (BAV.dV) containing deletion of pV. The BAV.dV could only be isolated in CRL.pV cells expressing pV, suggesting that pV appears essential for the infection of BAdV-3. Analysis of BAV.dV suggested that despite affecting some late gene expression in virus-infected cells, there was no significant difference in the incorporation of viral proteins in the mature virions. Moreover, analysis of mature virions revealed degraded capsids leading to change in morphology and infectivity of BAV.dV. Furthermore, analysis of the genome sequence of different clones of BAV.dV passaged in different cell lines revealed no mutations in core proteins pVII and pX\Mu suggesting that the replication defect may not be rescued. Our results suggest that pV is required for proper viral assembly of BAdV-3 as lack of pV produces aberrant capsids. Moreover, altered capsids lead to the production of non-infectious BAV.dV virions.

Abstract
Adenoviral vectors are widely employed against infectious diseases or cancers, as they can elicit specific antibody responses and T cell responses when they are armed with foreign genes as vaccine carriers, and induce apoptosis of the cancer cells when they are genetically modified for cancer therapy. In this review, we summarize the biological characteristics of adenovirus (Ad) and the latest development of Ad vector-based strategies for the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases or cancers. Strategies to circumvent the pre-existing neutralizing antibodies which dampen the immunogenicity of Ad-based vaccines are also discussed.

Abstract
Nucleophosmin (NPM1, also known as B23, numatrin or NO38) is a pentameric RNA-binding protein with RNA and protein chaperon functions. NPM1 has increasingly emerged as a potential cellular factor that directly associates with viral proteins; however, the significance of these interactions in each case is still not clear. In this study, we have investigated the physical interaction of NPM1 with both human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Rev and Herpes Simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) US11, two functionally homologous proteins. Both viral proteins show, in mechanistically different modes, high affinity for a binding site on the N-terminal oligomerization domain of NPM1. Rev, additionally, exhibits low-affinity for the central histone-binding domain of NPM1. We also showed that the proapoptotic cyclic peptide CIGB-300 specifically binds to NPM1 oligomerization domain and blocks its association with Rev and US11. Moreover, HIV-1 virus production was significantly reduced in the cells treated with CIGB-300. Results of this study suggest that targeting NPM1 may represent a useful approach for antiviral intervention.

Abstract
We report that during assembly of HPV16 pseudovirus (PsV) the minor capsid protein, L2, interacts with the host nucleolar protein nucleophosmin (NPM1/B23). Exogenously-expressed L2 colocalized with NPM1, a complex containing both proteins could be immunoprecipitated, and L2 could redirect to the nucleus NPM1 that was pharmacologically or genetically restricted to the cytoplasm. Coexpression of the major capsid protein, L1, prevented both the colocalization and the biochemical association, and L1 pentamers could displace L2 from L2/NPM1 complexes attached to a nuclear matrix. HPV16 PsV that was produced in a cell line with reduced NPM1 levels had significantly lower infectivity compared to PsV produced in the parental cell line, although the PsV preparations had comparable L1 and L2 ratios and levels of encapsidated DNA. The PsV produced in NPM1-deficient cells showed increased trypsin sensitivity and exhibited decreased L2 levels during endocytosis. These results suggest a critical role for NPM1 in establishing the correct interactions between L2 and L1 during HPV capsid assembly. A decrease in cellular levels of NPM1 results in the formation of seemingly normal, but unstable, capsids that result in a premature loss of L2, thus inhibiting successful infection. No role for NPM1 in HPV infectious entry was found.

Abstract
Sizing individual nanoparticles and dispersions of nanoparticles provides invaluable information in applications such as nanomaterial synthesis, air and water quality monitoring, virology, and medical diagnostics. Several conventional nanoparticle sizing approaches exist; however, there remains a lack of high-throughput approaches that are suitable for low-resource and field settings, i.e., methods that are cost-effective, portable, and can measure widely varying particle sizes and concentrations. Here we fill this gap using an unconventional approach that combines holographic on-chip microscopy with vapor-condensed nanolens self-assembly inside a cost-effective hand-held device. By using this approach and capturing time-resolved in situ images of the particles, we optimize the nanolens formation process, resulting in significant signal enhancement for the label-free detection and sizing of individual deeply subwavelength particles (smaller than λ/10) over a 30 mm(2) sample field-of-view, with an accuracy of ±11 nm. These time-resolved measurements are significantly more reliable than a single measurement at a given time, which was previously used only for nanoparticle detection without sizing. We experimentally demonstrate the sizing of individual nanoparticles as well as viruses, monodisperse samples, and complex polydisperse mixtures, where the sample concentrations can span ∼5 orders-of-magnitude and particle sizes can range from 40 nm to millimeter-scale. We believe that this high-throughput and label-free nanoparticle sizing platform, together with its cost-effective and hand-held interface, will make highly advanced nanoscopic measurements readily accessible to researchers in developing countries and even to citizen-scientists, and might especially be valuable for environmental and biomedical applications as well as for higher education and training programs.

Abstract
We used SILAC (stable isotope labelling of amino acids in cell culture) and high-throughput quantitative MS mass spectrometry to analyse the protein composition of highly purified WT wild type adenoviruses, mutant adenoviruses lacking an internal protein component (protein V) and recombinant adenoviruses of the type commonly used in gene therapy, including one virus that had been used in a clinical trial. We found that the viral protein abundance and composition were consistent across all types of virus examined except for the virus lacking protein V, which also had reduced amounts of another viral core protein, protein VII. In all the samples analysed we found no evidence of consistent packaging or contamination with cellular proteins. We believe this technique is a powerful method to analyse the protein composition of this important gene therapy vector and genetically engineered or synthetic virus-like particles. The raw data have been deposited at proteomexchange, identifer PXD001120.

Abstract
The cellular nucleolar proteins are reported to facilitate the replication cycles of some human and animal viruses by interaction with viral proteins. In this study, a nucleolar phosphoprotein B23 was identified to interact with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) matrix (M) protein. We found that NDV M protein accumulated in the nucleolus by binding B23 early in infection, but resulted in the redistribution of B23 from the nucleoli to the nucleoplasm later in infection. In vitro binding studies utilizing deletion mutants indicated that amino acids 30-60 of M and amino acids 188-245 of B23 were required for binding. Furthermore, knockdown of B23 by siRNA or overexpression of B23 or M-binding B23-derived polypeptides remarkably reduced cytopathic effect and inhibited NDV replication. Collectively, we show that B23 facilitates NDV replication by targeting M to the nucleolus, demonstrating for the first time a direct role for nucleolar protein B23 in a paramyxovirus replication process.

Abstract
Species C human adenovirus serotype 5 (HAdV-C5) is widely used as a vector for cancer gene therapy, because it efficiently transduces target cells. A variety of HAdV-C5 vectors have been developed and tested in vitro and in vivo for cancer gene therapy. While clinical trials with HAdV-C5 vectors resulted in effective responses in many cancer patients, administration of HAdV-C5 vectors to solid tumors showed responses in a limited area. A biological barrier in tumor mass is considered to hinder viral spread of HAdV-C5 vectors from infected cells. Therefore, efficient virus-spread from an infected tumor cell to surrounding tumor cells is required for successful cancer gene therapy. In this study, we compared HAdV-C5 to sixteen other HAdV serotypes selected from species A to G for virus-spread ability in vitro. HAdV-D9 showed better virus-spread ability than other serotypes, and its viral progeny were efficiently released from infected cells during viral replication. Although the HAdV-D9 fiber protein contains a binding site for coxsackie B virus and adenovirus receptor (CAR), HAdV-D9 showed expanded tropism for infection due to human CAR (hCAR)-independent attachment to target cells. HAdV-D9 infection effectively killed hCAR-negative cancer cells as well as hCAR-positive cancer cells. These results suggest that HADV-D9, with its better virus-spread ability, could have improved therapeutic efficacy in solid tumors compared to HAdV-C5.
