Abstract
Canine adenovirus type 1 (CAdV-1) is a double-stranded DNA virus, which is the causative agent of fox encephalitis. The Fiber protein is one of the structural proteins in CAdV-1, which mediates virion binding to the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor on host cells. The suspected virus was cultured in the MDCK cells, and it was determined through the cytopathic effects, sequencing and electron microscopy. The informatics analysis of the Fiber was done using online bioinformatics servers. The CAdV-1-JL2021 strain was isolated successfully, and were most similar to the CAdV-1 strain circulating in Italy. The occurrence of negative selection and recombination were found in the CAdV-1-JL2021 and CAdV-2-AC_000020.1. Host cell membrane was its subcellular localization. The CAdV-1-JL2021 Fiber (ON164651) had 6 glycosylation sites and 107 phosphorylation sites, exerted adhesion receptor-mediated virion attachment to host cell, which was the same as CAdV-2-AC_000020.1 Fiber. The Fiber tertiary structure of the CAdV-1-JL2021 and CAdV-2-AC_000020.1 was different, but they had the same coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor. “VATTSPTLTFAYPLIKNNNH” were predicted to be the potential CAdV-1 B cell linear epitope. The MHC-I binding peptide “KLGVKPTTY” were both presented in the CAdV-1-JL2021 and CAdV-2-AC_000020.1 Fiber and it is useful to design the canine adenovirus vaccine.

The Coxsackievirus and Adenovirus Receptor Has a Short Half-Life in Epithelial Cells. Pathogens 2022; 11:173. [PMID: 35215116 PMCID: PMC8880067 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11020173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
The coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) is an essential cellular protein that is involved in cell adhesion, cell signaling, and viral infection. The 8-exon encoded isoform (CAREx8) resides at the apical surface of polarized epithelia, where it is accessible as a receptor for adenovirus entering the airway lumen. Given its pivotal role in viral infection, it is a target for antiviral strategies. To understand the regulation of CAREx8 and determine the feasibility of receptor downregulation, the half-life of total and apical localized CAREx8 was determined and correlated with adenovirus transduction. Total and apical CAREx8 has a relatively short half-life of approximately 2 h. The half-life of apical CAREx8 correlates well with adenovirus transduction. These results suggest that antiviral strategies that aim to degrade the primary receptor for apical adenovirus infection will be effective within a relatively short time frame after application.

Abstract
Human adenoviruses (HAdV) cause a variety of infections in human hosts, from self-limited upper respiratory tract infections in otherwise healthy people to fulminant pneumonia and death in immunocompromised patients. Many HAdV enter polarized epithelial cells by using the primary receptor, the Coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR). Recently published data demonstrate that a potent neutrophil (PMN) chemoattractant, interleukin-8 (IL-8), stimulates airway epithelial cells to increase expression of the apical isoform of CAR (CAREx8), which results in increased epithelial HAdV type 5 (HAdV5) infection. However, the mechanism for PMN-enhanced epithelial HAdV5 transduction remains unclear. In this manuscript, the molecular mechanisms behind PMN mediated enhancement of epithelial HAdV5 transduction are characterized using an MDCK cell line that stably expresses human CAREx8 under a doxycycline inducible promoter (MDCK-CAREx8 cells). Contrary to our hypothesis, PMN exposure does not enhance HAdV5 entry by increasing CAREx8 expression nor through activation of non-specific epithelial endocytic pathways. Instead, PMN serine proteases are responsible for PMN-mediated enhancement of HAdV5 transduction in MDCK-CAREx8 cells. This is evidenced by reduced transduction upon inhibition of PMN serine proteases and increased transduction upon exposure to exogenous human neutrophil elastase (HNE). Furthermore, HNE exposure activates epithelial autophagic flux, which, even when triggered through other mechanisms, results in a similar enhancement of epithelial HAdV5 transduction. Inhibition of F-actin with cytochalasin D partially attenuates PMN mediated enhancement of HAdV transduction. Taken together, these findings suggest that HAdV5 can leverage innate immune responses to establish infections.

MAGI-1 PDZ2 Domain Blockade Averts Adenovirus Infection via Enhanced Proteolysis of the Apical Coxsackievirus and Adenovirus Receptor. J Virol 2021; 95:e0004621.

Abstract
Adenoviruses (AdVs) are etiological agents of gastrointestinal, heart, eye, and respiratory tract infections that can be lethal for immunosuppressed people. Many AdVs use the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) as a primary receptor. The CAR isoform resulting from alternative splicing that includes the eighth exon, CAREx8, localizes to the apical surface of polarized epithelial cells and is responsible for the initiation of AdV infection. We have shown that the membrane level of CAREx8 is tightly regulated by two MAGI-1 PDZ domains, PDZ2 and PDZ4, resulting in increased or decreased AdV transduction, respectively. We hypothesized that targeting the interactions between the MAGI-1 PDZ2 domain and CAREx8 would decrease the apical CAREx8 expression level and prevent AdV infection. Decoy peptides that target MAGI-1 PDZ2 were synthesized (TAT-E6 and TAT-NET1). PDZ2 binding peptides decreased CAREx8 expression and reduced AdV transduction. CAREx8 degradation was triggered by the activation of the regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) pathway through a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM17) and γ-secretase. Further analysis revealed that ADAM17 interacts directly with the MAGI-1 PDZ3 domain, and blocking the PDZ2 domain enhanced the accessibility of ADAM17 to the substrate (CAREx8). Finally, we validated the efficacy of TAT-PDZ2 peptides in protecting the epithelia from AdV transduction in vivo using a novel transgenic animal model. Our data suggest that TAT-PDZ2 binding peptides are novel anti-AdV molecules that act by enhanced RIP of CAREx8 and decreased AdV entry. This strategy has additional translational potential for targeting other viral receptors that have PDZ binding domains, such as the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor. IMPORTANCE Adenovirus is a common threat in immunosuppressed populations and military recruits. There are no currently approved treatments/prophylactic agents that protect from most AdV infections. Here, we developed peptide-based small molecules that can suppress AdV infection of polarized epithelia by targeting the AdV receptor, coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAREx8). The newly discovered peptides target a specific PDZ domain of the CAREx8-interacting protein MAGI-1 and decrease AdV transduction in multiple polarized epithelial models. Peptide-induced CAREx8 degradation is triggered by extracellular domain (ECD) shedding through ADAM17 followed by γ-secretase-mediated nuclear translocation of the C-terminal domain. The enhanced shedding of the CAREx8 ECD further protected the epithelium from AdV infection. Taken together, these novel molecules protect the epithelium from AdV infection. This approach may be applicable to the development of novel antiviral molecules against other viruses that use a receptor with a PDZ binding domain.

Production of isoform-specific knockdown/knockout Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells using CRISPR/Cas9. MethodsX 2020; 7:101149.

Abstract
CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing has made it possible to specifically edit genes in a myriad of target cells. Here, a method for isoform-specific editing and clonal selection in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells is described in detail. This approach was used to address a long-standing question in virology of how adenovirus enters polarized epithelia from the apical surface. Our method relies on selecting two sgRNA sequences, cloning them into a suitable fluorescently labeled Cas9 vector system, and subsequently transfecting our MDCK epithelium and selecting isoform-specific Coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor knockout clones. Utilization of this method is readily applicable to many other genetic targets in epithelial cells.•Simultaneous utilization of an sgRNA upstream and an sgRNA downstream of a target sequence allows for deletion of the intervening sequence, including whole exons.•Sorting of cells positive for fluorescent marker gene expression enhances the identification of partial and biallelic gene knockout.•PCR screening allows relatively fast and efficient determination of isoform-specific deletion.
