Abstract
Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a multifunctional calcium- and phospholipid-binding protein that plays an important role in various cells. During pathogen infections, ANXA2 modulates the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and cell apoptosis signaling pathways and guides the chemotaxis of inflammatory cells toward inflammation sites, thereby protecting the host organism through the modulation of the inflammatory response. In addition, ANXA2 can regulate immune responses, and in certain pathogen infections, it can interact with pathogen proteins to facilitate their invasion and proliferation. This review provides an overview of the research progress on how ANXA2 regulates pathogen infections.

Abstract
Due to the limited size of viral genomes, hijacking host machinery by the viruses taking place throughout the virus life cycle is inevitable for the survival and proliferation of the virus in the infected hosts. Recent reports indicated that Annexin A2 (AnxA2), a calcium- and lipid-binding cellular protein, plays an important role as a critical regulator in various steps of the virus life cycle. The multifarious AnxA2 functions in cells, such as adhesion, adsorption, endocytosis, exocytosis, cell proliferation and division, inflammation, cancer metastasis, angiogenesis, etc., are intimately related to the various clinical courses of viral infection. Ubiquitous expression of AnxA2 across multiple cell types indicates the broad range of susceptibility of diverse species of the virus to induce disparate viral disease in various tissues, and intracellular expression of AnxA2 in the cytoplasmic membrane, cytosol, and nucleus suggests the involvement of AnxA2 in the regulation of the different stages of various virus life cycles within host cells. However, it is yet unclear as to the molecular processes on how AnxA2 and the infected virus interplay to regulate virus life cycles and thereby the virus-associated disease courses, and hence elucidation of the molecular mechanisms on AnxA2-mediated virus life cycle will provide essential clues to develop therapeutics deterring viral disease.

J Virol 2024; 98:e0006024.

Abstract
As obligate parasites, viruses have evolved multiple strategies to evade the host immune defense. Manipulation of the host proteasome system to degrade specific detrimental factors is a common viral countermeasure. To identify host proteins targeted for proteasomal degradation by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), we conducted a quantitative proteomics screen of PRRSV-infected Marc-145 cells under the treatment with proteasome inhibitor MG132. The data revealed that the expression levels of programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) were strongly downregulated by PRRSV and significantly rescued by MG132. Further investigation confirmed that PRRSV infection induced the translocation of PDCD4 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and the viral nonstructural protein 9 (Nsp9) promoted PDCD4 proteasomal degradation in the cytoplasm by activating the Akt-mTOR-S6K1 pathway. The C-terminal domain of Nsp9 was responsible for PDCD4 degradation. As for the role of PDCD4 during PRRSV infection, we demonstrated that PDCD4 knockdown favored viral replication, while its overexpression significantly attenuated replication, suggesting that PDCD4 acts as a restriction factor for PRRSV. Mechanistically, we discovered eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) was required for PRRSV. PDCD4 interacted with eIF4A through four sites (E249, D253, D414, and D418) within its two MA3 domains, disrupting eIF4A-mediated translation initiation in the 5'-untranslated region of PRRSV, thereby inhibiting PRRSV infection. Together, our study reveals the antiviral function of PDCD4 and the viral strategy to antagonize PDCD4. These results will contribute to our understanding of the immune evasion strategies employed by PRRSV and offer valuable insights for developing new antiviral targets.IMPORTANCEPorcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection results in major economic losses in the global swine industry and is difficult to control effectively. Here, using a quantitative proteomics screen, we identified programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) as a host protein targeted for proteasomal degradation by PRRSV. We demonstrated that PDCD4 restricts PRRSV replication by interacting with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A, which is required for translation initiation in the viral 5'-untranslated region. Additionally, four sites within two MA3 domains of PDCD4 are identified to be responsible for its antiviral function. Conversely, PRRSV nonstructural protein 9 promotes PDCD4 proteasomal degradation in the cytoplasm by activating the Akt-mTOR-S6K1 pathway, thus weakening the anti-PRRSV function. Our work unveils PDCD4 as a previously unrecognized host restriction factor for PRRSV and reveals that PRRSV develops countermeasures to overcome PDCD4. This will provide new insights into virus-host interactions and the development of new antiviral targets.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a viral pathogen with substantial economic implications for the global swine industry. The existing vaccination strategies and antiviral drugs offer limited protection. Replication of the viral RNA genome encompasses a complex series of steps, wherein a replication complex is assembled from various components derived from both viral and cellular sources, as well as from the viral genomic RNA template. In this study, we found that ZNF283, a Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) containing zinc finger protein, was upregulated in PRRSV-infected Marc-145 cells and porcine alveolar macrophages and that ZNF283 inhibited PRRSV replication and RNA synthesis. We also found that ZNF283 interacts with the viral proteins Nsp9, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and Nsp10, a helicase. The main regions involved in the interaction between ZNF283 and Nsp9 were determined to be the KRAB domain of ZNF283 and amino acids 178-449 of Nsp9. The KRAB domain of ZNF283 plays a role in facilitating Nsp10 binding. In addition, ZNF283 may have an affinity for the 3' untranslated region of PRRSV. These findings suggest that ZNF283 is an antiviral factor that inhibits PRRSV infection and extend our understanding of the interactions between KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins and viruses.

Abstract
Annexin (Anx) family protein is a highly conserved protein family that plays important roles in immune defense of vertebrates and invertebrates against invading pathogens. In this study, a novel Anx was cloned and characterized from the red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus. The Open Reading Frame of CqAnxB9 consisted of 930 nucleotide bases pair and encoded 309 amino acids. The CqAnxB9 protein contained three repeat Anx domains and a typical KGLGT sequence. Tissue expression analysis showed that the expression levels of CqAnxB9 were mainly expressed in the intestine, hepatopancreas and hemocytes. After WSSV challenge, CqAnxB9 expression was up-regulated in the hematopoietic tissue (Hpt) cells. Moreover, knockdown of CqAnxB9 inhibited WSSV replication and VP28 expression, suggesting that CqAnxB9 plays a positive role in WSSV infection. Further studies revealed that recombinant CqAnxB9 protein was found to bind to the viral envelop protein VP28. All these findings indicate that new-found CqAnxB9 is likely to promote WSSV infection in crustaceans, which provides a better understanding of the pathogenesis of WSSV.

Pseudorabies Virus Regulates the Extracellular Translocation of Annexin A2 To Promote Its Proliferation. J Virol 2023; 97:e0154522.

Abstract
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection causes enormous economic losses to the pork industry and severe health consequences in many hosts. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a membrane-associated protein with various intracellular functions associated with many viral infections. However, the role of ANXA2 in alphaherpesvirus replication is still not explored. In the present study, we identified the interaction between ANXA2 and PRV US3. The deficiency of ANXA2 significantly restricted PRV proliferation. PRV infection or US3 overexpression led to ANXA2 extracellular translocation. Furthermore, we confirmed that PRV or US3 could lead to the phosphorylation of the Tyr23 ANXA2 and Tyr419 Src kinase, which was associated with the ANXA2 cell surface transposition. US3 can also bind to Src in an ANXA2-independent manner and enhance the interaction between Src and ANXA2. Additionally, inhibitors targeting ANXA2 (A2ti-1) or Src (PP2) could remarkably inhibit PRV propagation in vitro and protect mice from PRV infection in vivo. Collectively, our findings broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of ANXA2 in alphaherpesvirus pathogenicity and suggest that ANXA2 is a potential therapeutic target for treating alphaherpesvirus-induced infectious diseases. IMPORTANCE PRV belongs to the alphaherpesvirus and has recently re-emerged in China, causing severe economic losses. Recent studies also indicate that PRV may pose a potential public health challenge. ANXA2 is a multifunctional calcium- and lipid-binding protein implicated in immune function, multiple human diseases, and viral infection. Herein, we found that ANXA2 was essential to PRV efficient proliferation. PRV infection resulted in the extracellular translocation of ANXA2 through phosphorylation of ANXA2 and Src. ANXA2 and Src formed a complex with PRV US3. Importantly, inhibitors targeting ANXA2 or Src prevented PRV infection in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, our studies reveal a novel strategy by which alphaherpesvirus modifies ANXA2 to promote its replication and highlight ANXA2 as a target in developing novel promising antivirus agents in viral therapy.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a contagious disease caused by the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). PRRS is also called “blue ear disease” because of the characteristic blue ear in infected sows and piglets. Its main clinical features are reproductive disorders of sows, breathing difficulties in piglets, and fattening in pigs, which cause considerable losses to the swine industry. NSP9, a non-structural protein of PRRSV, plays a vital role in PRRSV replication and virulence because of its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) structure. The NSP9 sequence is highly conserved and contains T cell epitopes, which are beneficial for the development of future vaccines. NSP9 acts as the protein interaction hub between virus and host during PRRSV infection, especially in RNA replication and transcription. Herein, we comprehensively review the application of NSP9 in terms of genetic evolution analysis, interaction with host proteins that affect virus replication, interaction with other viral proteins, pathogenicity, regulation of cellular immune response, antiviral drugs, vaccines, and detection methods. This review can therefore provide innovative ideas and strategies for PRRSV prevention and control.

Abstract
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1), an esterase with specifically paraoxonase activity, has been proven to be involved in inflammation and infection. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is still a major concern in pigs and causes severe economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. In this study, the role of PON1 was investigated in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) during PRRSV infection. The results showed that PRRSV replication downregulated PON1, and the knockdown of PON1 significantly decreased PRRSV replication. Similarly, PON1 overexpression could enhance PRRSV replication. Interestingly, we observed that PON1 interacted with PRRSV nonstructural protein 9 (Nsp9), the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and the knockdown of PON1 lowered the RNA binding ability of Nsp9, suggesting that PON1 can facilitate Nsp9 function in viral replication. In addition, the knockdown of PON1 expression led to the amplification of type I interferon (IFN) genes and vice versa. In summary, our data demonstrate that PON1 facilitates PRRSV replication by interacting with Nsp9 and inhibiting the type I IFN signaling pathway. Hence, PON1 may be an additional component of the anti-PRRSV defenses.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a highly contagious disease caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), which has been regarded as a persistent challenge for the pig industry in many countries. PRRSV is internalized into host cells by the interaction between PRRSV proteins and cellular receptors. When the virus invades the cells, the host antiviral immune system is quickly activated to suppress the replication of the viruses. To retain fitness and host adaptation, various viruses have evolved multiple elegant strategies to manipulate the host machine and circumvent against the host antiviral responses. Therefore, identification of virus–host interactions is critical for understanding the host defense against viral infections and the pathogenesis of the viral infectious diseases. Most viruses, including PRRSV, interact with host proteins during infection. On the one hand, such interaction promotes the virus from escaping the host immune system to complete its replication. On the other hand, the interactions regulate the host cell immune response to inhibit viral infections. As common antiviral drugs become increasingly inefficient under the pressure of viral selectivity, therapeutic agents targeting the intrinsic immune factors of the host protein are more promising because the host protein has a lower probability of mutation under drug-mediated selective pressure. This review elaborates on the virus–host interactions during PRRSV infection to summarize the pathogenic mechanisms of PRRSV, and we hope this can provide insights for designing effective vaccines or drugs to prevent and control the spread of PRRS.

Abstract
To investigate the role of PRRSV nonstructural proteins (nsps) in viral RNA replication and transcription, we generated a cDNA clone of PRRSV strain NCV1 carrying the nanoluciferase (nluc) gene under the control of the transcription regulatory sequence 6 (TRS6) designated as pNCV1-Nluc. Cells transfected with the pNCV1-Nluc DNA plasmid produced an infectious virus and high levels of luciferase activity. Interestingly, cells transfected with mutant pNCV1-Nluc constructs carrying deletions in nsp7 or nsp9 regions also exhibited luciferase activity, although no infectious virus was produced. Further investigation revealed that the cDNA sequences corresponding to the PRRSV 5′ untranslated region (UTR) and TRS, when cloned upstream of the reporter gene nluc, were able to drive the expression of the reporter genes in the transfected cells. Luciferase signals from cells transfected with a reporter plasmid carrying PRRSV 5′ UTR or TRS sequences upstream of nluc were in the range of 6- to 10-fold higher compared to cells transfected with an empty plasmid carrying nluc only. The results suggest that PRRSV 5′ UTR and TRS-B in their cDNA forms possess cryptic eukaryotic promoter activity.

Abstract
Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) causes bovine ephemeral fever, which can produce considerable economic damage to the cattle industry. However, there is limited experimental evidence regarding the underlying mechanisms of BEFV. Annexin A2 (AnxA2) is a calcium and lipid-conjugated protein that binds phospholipids and the cytoskeleton in a Ca2+-dependent manner, and it participates in various cellular functions, including vesicular trafficking, organization of membrane domains, and virus proliferation. The role of the AnxA2 gene during virus infection has not yet been reported. In this study, we observed that AnxA2 gene expression was up-regulated in BHK-21 cells infected with the virus. Additionally, overexpression of the AnxA2 gene promoted the release of mature virus particles, whereas BEFV replication was remarkably inhibited after reducing AnxA2 gene expression by using the small interfering RNA (siRNA). For viral proteins, overexpression of the Matrix (M) gene promotes the release of mature virus particles. Moreover, the AnxA2 protein interaction with the M protein of BEFV was confirmed by GST pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays. Experimental results indicate that the C-terminal domain (268-334 aa) of AxnA2 contributes to this interaction. An additional mechanistic study showed that AnxA2 protein interacts with M protein and mediates the localization of the M protein at the plasma membrane. Furthermore, the absence of the AnxA2-V domain could attenuate the effect of AnxA2 on BEFV replication. These findings can contribute to elucidating the regulation of BEFV replication and may have implications for antiviral strategy development.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds from Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) are gradually becoming an effective alternative in the control of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) because most of the commercially available PRRSV vaccines cannot provide full protection against the genetically diverse strains isolated from farms. Besides, the incomplete attenuation procedure involved in the production of modified live vaccines (MLV) may cause them to revert to the more virulence forms. TCMs have shown some promising potentials in bridging this gap. Several investigations have revealed that herbal extracts from TCMs contain molecules with significant antiviral activities against the various stages of the life cycle of PRRSV, and they do this through different mechanisms. They either block PRRSV attachment and entry into cells or inhibits the replication of viral RNA or viral particles assembly and release or act as immunomodulators and pathogenic pathway inhibitors through cytokines regulations. Here, we summarized the various antiviral strategies employed by some TCMs against the different stages of the life cycle of PRRSV under two major classes, including direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) and indirect-acting antivirals (IAAs). We highlighted their mechanisms of action. In conclusion, we recommended that in making plans for the use of TCMs to control PRRSV, the pathway forward must be built on a real understanding of the mechanisms by which bioactive compounds exert their effects. This will provide a template that will guide the focus of collaborative studies among researchers in the areas of bioinformatics, chemistry, and proteomics. Furthermore, available data and procedures to support the efficacy, safety, and quality control levels of TCMs should be well documented without any breach of data integrity and good manufacturing practices.

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Antagonizes PCSK9's Antiviral Effect via Nsp11 Endoribonuclease Activity. Viruses 2020; 12:v12060655. [PMID: 32560445 PMCID: PMC7354446 DOI: 10.3390/v12060655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2020] [Revised: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most important pathogens in the swine industry worldwide. Our previous study had indicated that proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) was a responsive gene in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) upon PRRSV infection. However, whether PCSK9 impacts the PRRSV replication and how the PRRSV modulates host PCSK9 remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated that PCSK9 protein suppressed the replication of both type-1 and type-2 PRRSV species. More specifically, the C-terminal domain of PCSK9 was responsible for the antiviral activity. Besides, we showed that PCSK9 inhibited PRRSV replication by targeting the virus receptor CD163 for degradation through the lysosome. In turn, PRRSV could down-regulate the expression of PCSK9 in both PAMs and MARC-145 cells. By screening the nonstructural proteins (nsps) of PRRSV, we showed that nsp11 could antagonize PCSK9’s antiviral activity. Furthermore, mutagenic analyses of PRRSV nsp11 revealed that the endoribonuclease activity of nsp11 was critical for antagonizing the antiviral effect of PCSK9. Collectively, our data provide further insights into the interaction between PRRSV and the cell host and offer a new potential target for the antiviral therapy of PRRSV.

The emerged genotype I of Japanese encephalitis virus shows an infectivity similar to genotype III in Culex pipiens mosquitoes from China. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2019; 13:e0007716. [PMID: 31557156 PMCID: PMC6762057 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0007716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2019] [Accepted: 08/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Japanese Encephalitis virus (JEV) is a zoonotic flavivirus that represents the most significant etiology of childhood viral neurological infections throughout the Asia. During the last 20 years, JEV genotype dominance has shifted from genotype III (GIII) to genotype I (GI). To date, the exact mechanism of this displacement is still not known. Culex (Cx.) mosquitoes are the most common species in China and play an essential role in maintaining JEV enzootic transmission cycle. In this study, we used Cx. pipiens mosquitoes from China as an in vivo mosquito model to explore if mosquitoes played a potential role in JEV genotype shift. We exposed female Cx. pipiens mosquitoes orally to either GI or GIII JEV strains. Midgut, whole mosquitoes, secondary organs, and salivary glands of JEV-infected mosquitoes were collected at 7 and 14 days of post infection (dpi) and subjected to measure the infection rate, replication kinetics, dissemination rate and transmission potential of the infected JEV strains in Cx. pipiens mosquitoes by 50% tissue culture infective dose assay. We found that Cx. pipiens mosquito was competent vector for both GI and GIII JEV infection, with similar infection rates and growth kinetics. After the establishment of infection, Cx. pipiens mosquitoes disseminated both JEV genotypes to secondary organs at similar rates of dissemination. A few GI-infected mosquito salivary glands (16.2%) were positive for GI virus, whereas GIII virus was undetectable in GIII-infected mosquito salivary glands at 7 dpi. However, 29.4% (5/17) and 36.3% (8/22) were positive for GI- and GIII-infected mosquito salivary glands at 14 dpi, respectively, showing an increase in JEV positive rate. No statistical difference in the transmission rate between GI- and GIII-infected mosquitoes was detected. Our experiment data demonstrated that GI and GIII viruses have similar infectivity in Cx. pipiens mosquitoes, suggesting that Cx. pipiens mosquitoes from China may not play a critical role in JEV genotype shift. Although the current data were obtained solely from Cx. pipiens mosquitoes, it is likely that the conclusion drawn could be extrapolated to the role of mosquitoes in JEV genotype shift.

Abstract
PRRSV infection up-regulates NLRX1 expression. NLRX1 impairs PRRSV replication. NLRX1 suppresses the synthesis of viral subgenomic RNAs. NLRX1 interacts and colocalizes with the Nsp9 of PRRSV.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes one of the most economically important diseases of swine worldwide. Current antiviral strategies provide only limited protection. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) X1 is unique among NLR proteins in its functions as a pro-viral or antiviral factor to different viral infections. To date, the impact of NLRX1 on PRRSV infection remains unclear. In this study, we found that PRRSV infection promoted the expression of NLRX1 gene. In turn, ectopic expression of NLRX1 inhibited PRRSV replication in Marc-145 cells, whereas knockdown of NLRX1 enhanced PRRSV propagation in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Mechanistically, NLRX1 was revealed to impair intracellular viral subgenomic RNAs accumulation. Finally, Mutagenic analyses indicated that the LRR (leucine-rich repeats) domain of NLRX1 interacted with PRRSV Nonstructural Protein 9 (Nsp9) RdRp (RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase) domain and was necessary for antiviral activity. Thus, our study establishes the role of NLRX1 as a new host restriction factor in PRRSV infection.

ZAP, a CCCH-Type Zinc Finger Protein, Inhibits Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Replication and Interacts with Viral Nsp9. J Virol 2019; 93:JVI.00001-19.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most economically important pathogens affecting many swine-producing regions. Current vaccination strategies and antiviral drugs provide only limited protection. PRRSV infection can cleave mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) and inhibit the induction of type I interferon. The antiviral effector molecules that are involved in host protective responses to PRRSV infection are not fully understood. Here, by using transcriptome sequencing, we found that a zinc finger antiviral protein, ZAP, is upregulated in MAVS-transfected Marc-145 cells and that ZAP suppresses PRRSV infection at the early stage of replication. We also found that the viral protein Nsp9, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), interacts with ZAP. The interacting locations were mapped to the zinc finger domain of ZAP and N-terminal amino acids 150 to 160 of Nsp9. These findings suggest that ZAP is an effective antiviral factor for suppressing PRRSV infection, and they shed light on virus-host interaction.IMPORTANCE PRRSV continues to adversely impact the global swine industry. It is important to understand the various antiviral factors against PRRSV infection. Here, a zinc finger protein, termed ZAP, was screened from MAVS-induced antiviral genes by transcriptome sequencing, and it was found to remarkably suppress PRRSV replication and interact with PRRSV Nsp9. The zinc finger domain of ZAP and amino acids 150 to 160 of Nsp9 are responsible for the interaction. These findings expand the antiviral spectrum of ZAP and provide a better understanding of ZAP antiviral mechanisms, as well as virus-host interactions.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is of great concern to the swine industry due to pandemic outbreaks of the disease, current ineffective vaccinations, and a lack of efficient antiviral strategies. In our previous study, a PRRSV Nsp9-specific nanobody, Nb6, was successfully isolated, and the intracellularly expressed Nb6 could dramatically inhibit PRRSV replication in MARC-145 cells. However, despite its small size, the application of Nb6 protein in infected cells is greatly limited, as the protein itself cannot enter the cells physically. In this study, a trans-activating transduction (TAT) peptide was fused with Nb6 to promote protein entry into cells. TAT-Nb6 was expressed as an inclusion body in Escherichia coli, and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and pulldown assays showed that E. coli-expressed TAT-Nb6 maintained the binding ability to E. coli-expressed or PRRSV-encoded Nsp9. We demonstrated that TAT delivered Nb6 into MARC-145 cells and porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and TAT-Nb6 efficiently inhibited the replication of several PRRSV genotype 2 strains as well as a genotype 1 strain. Using a yeast two-hybrid assay, Nb6 recognition sites were identified in the C-terminal part of Nsp9 and spanned two discontinuous regions (Nsp9aa454-551 and Nsp9aa599-646). Taken together, these results suggest that TAT-Nb6 can be developed as an antiviral drug for the inhibition of PRRSV replication and controlling PRRS disease.IMPORTANCE The pandemic outbreak of PRRS, which is caused by PRRSV, has greatly affected the swine industry. We still lack an efficient vaccine, and it is an immense challenge to control its infection. An intracellularly expressed Nsp9-specific nanobody, Nb6, has been shown to be able to inhibit PRRSV replication in MARC-145 cells. However, its application is limited, because Nb6 cannot physically enter cells. Here, we demonstrated that the cell-penetrating peptide TAT could deliver Nb6 into cultured cells. In addition, TAT-Nb6 fusion protein could suppress the replication of various PRRSV strains in MARC-145 cells and PAMs. These findings may provide a new approach for drug development to control PRRS.

Abstract
Cellular proteins have been identified to participate in calicivirus replication in association with viral proteins and/or viral RNAs. By mass spectrometry from pull-down assays, we identified several cellular proteins bound to the feline calicivirus (FCV) genomic RNA; among them the lipid raft-associated scaffold protein Annexin (Anx) A2. AnxA2 colocalizes with FCV NS6/7 protein and with the dsRNA in infected cells; moreover, it was found associated with the viral RNA in the membrane fraction corresponding to the replication complexes (RCs), suggesting its role during FCV replication. AnxA2-knockdown from CrFK cells prior to infection with FCV caused a delay in the cytopathic effect, a strong reduction of viral non-structural proteins and dsRNA production, and a decrease of FCV yield in both cell-associated and supernatant fractions. Taken together, these results indicate that AnxA2 associates to the genomic RNA of FCV and is required for an efficient FCV replication.

Abstract
Viral life cycles consist of three main phases: (1) attachment and entry, (2) genome replication and expression, and (3) assembly, maturation, and egress. Each of these steps is intrinsically reliant on host cell factors and processes including cellular receptors, genetic replication machinery, endocytosis and exocytosis, and protein expression. Annexin A2 (AnxA2) is a membrane-associated protein with a wide range of intracellular functions and a recurrent host factor in a variety of viral infections. Spatially, AnxA2 is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm, vesicle-bound, and on the inner and outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. Structurally, AnxA2 exists as a monomer or in complex with S100A10 to form the AnxA2/S100A10 heterotetramer (A2t). Both AnxA2 and A2t have been implicated in a vast array of cellular functions such as endocytosis, exocytosis, membrane domain organization, and translational regulation through RNA binding. Accordingly, many discoveries have been made involving AnxA2 in viral pathogenesis, however, the reported work addressing AnxA2 in virology is highly compartmentalized. Therefore, the purpose of this mini review is to provide information regarding the role of AnxA2 in the lifecycle of multiple epithelial cell-targeting viruses to highlight recurrent themes, identify discrepancies, and reveal potential avenues for future research.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is an infectious disease that causes serious economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. To better understand the pathogenesis of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), three PRRSV strains with different molecular markers and virulence were used to infect MARC-145 cells. A total of 1804 proteins were identified, and 233 altered proteins and 72 signaling pathways involved in the proteomic profiling of virus-infected MARC-145 cells increased with the virulence of the PRRSV strain. The three types of viral strains shared a common pathway—the electron transport reaction in mitochondria—in the infected-MARC-145 cells. Moreover, the antisense pathway was the most variable of all significant signaling pathways for the highly virulent SX-1 strain, indicating that this unique pathway may be connected to the high virulence of the SX-1 strain. Our study is the first attempt to provide a proteome profile of MARC-145 cells infected with PRRSV strains with different virulence, and these findings will facilitate a deep understanding of the interactions between this virus and its host.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is an important globally distributed and highly contagious pathogen that has restricted cell tropism in vivo and in vitro. In the present study, we found that annexin A2 (ANXA2) is upregulated expressed in porcine alveolar macrophages infected with PRRSV. Additionally, PRRSV replication was significantly suppressed after reducing ANXA2 expression in Marc-145 cells using siRNA. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that ANXA2 may be relevant to vimentin, a cellular cytoskeleton component that is thought to be involved in the infectivity and replication of PRRSV. Co-immunoprecipitation assays and confocal analysis confirmed that ANXA2 interacts with vimentin, with further experiments indicating that the B domain (109–174 aa) of ANXA2 contributes to this interaction. Importantly, neither ANXA2 nor vimentin alone could bind to PRRSV and only in the presence of ANXA2 could vimentin interact with the N protein of PRRSV. No binding to the GP2, GP3, GP5, nor M proteins of PRRSV was observed. In conclusion, ANXA2 can interact with vimentin and enhance PRRSV growth. This contributes to the regulation of PRRSV replication in infected cells and may have implications for the future antiviral strategies.

Virus Res 2018; 253:87-91.

Abstract
Porcine galectin-3 (GAL3) is a 29-kDa protein encoded by a single gene, LGALS3, located on chromosome 1. Here, using a yeast two-hybrid screen of a cDNA library from porcine alveolar macrophage cells (PAMs), we report for the first time that GAL3 interacts with nonstructural protein 12 (Nsp12) of the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Although extensive research has focused on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), little is known about the pathogen and host interactions involving individual nonstructural viral proteins, especially Nsp12. Here, we showed that GAL3 interacted with viral Nsp12 following co-transfection of HEK293 cells with GAL3- and Nsp12-expressing plasmids. Additionally, we observed that PPRSV infection led to reduced GAL3 levels during the late phase of infection in both MARC-145 cells and PAMs. Importantly, GAL3 overexpression significantly suppressed the replication of both type 1 and 2 PRRSV strains, whereas knockout of endogenous LGALS3 in MARC-145 cells significantly increased viral titer and expression of the nucleocapsid protein. These results strongly support a direct inhibitory effect of GAL3 on PRRSV replication, which might contribute to an overall antiviral effect. Furthermore, our findings provide insights into the molecular basis of the role Nsp12 plays in PRRSV pathogenesis.

Abstract
The highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV) has caused huge economic losses to the swine industry in China. Understanding the molecular basis in relation to the virulence of HP-PRRSV is essential for effectively controlling clinical infection and disease. In the current study, we constructed and rescued a serial of mutant viruses in nsp9 and nsp10 based on the differential amino acid sites between HP-PRRSV JXwn06 and LP-PRRSV HB-1/3.9. The replication efficiency in pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) and the pathogenicity of the mutant viruses for piglets were analyzed. Our results showed that the mutation of Thr to Ala in 586 and Ser to Thr in 592 of nsp9 decreased the replication efficiency of HP-PRRSV in PAMs, and could attenuate its virulence for piglets, suggesting that the residues 586 and 592 of nsp9 are critical sites natively in determining the fatal virulence of the Chinese HP-PRRSV for piglets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-structural protein 1 (NS1) is a multifunctional protein and a crucial regulatory factor in the replication and pathogenesis of avian influenza virus (AIV). Studies have shown that NS1 can interact with a variety of host proteins to modulate the viral life cycle. We previously generated a monoclonal antibody against NS1 protein; In the current research study, using this antibody, we immunoprecipitated host proteins that interact with NS1 to better understand the roles played by NS1 in communications between virus and host. RESULTS Co-immunoprecipitation experiments identified annexin A2 (ANXA2) as a target molecule interacting with NS1. Results from confocal laser scanning microscopy indicated that NS1 co-localized with ANXA2 in the cell cytoplasm. Overexpression of ANXA2 significantly increased the titer of H5N1 subtype HPAIV, whereas siRNA-mediated knockdown of ANXA2 markedly inhibited the expression of viral proteins and reduced the progeny virus titer. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that ANXA2 interacts with NS1 and ANXA2 expression increases HPAIV replication.

Abstract
Background Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes reproductive failures in sows and respiratory diseases in growing pigs, resulting in huge economic loss for the pig production worldwide. The nonstructural protein 9 (nsp9) and nonstructural protein 2 (nsp2) of PRRSV are known to play important roles in viral replication. Cellular interleukin-2 enhancer binding factor 2 (ILF2) participates in many cellular pathways and involves in life cycle of some viruses. In the present study, we analyzed the interaction of cellular ILF2 with the nsp9 and nsp2 of PRRSV in vitro and explored the effect of ILF2 on viral replication. Methods The interaction of ILF2 with the nsp9 or nsp2 of PRRSV was analyzed in 293FT cells and MARC-145 cells by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and the co-localization of ILF2 with the nsp9 or nsp2 of PRRSV in MARC-145 cell and pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) was examined by confocal immunofluorescence assay. The effect of ILF2 knockdown and over-expression on PRRSV replication was explored in MARC-145 cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and lentivirus transduction, respectively. Results The interaction of ILF2 with nsp9 or nsp2 was first demonstrated in 293FT cells co-transfected with ILF2-expressing plasmid and nsp9-expressing plasmid or nsp2-expressing plasmid. The interaction of endogenous ILF2 with the nsp9 or nsp2 of PRRSV was further confirmed in MARC-145 cells transduced with GFP-nsp9-expressing lentiviruses or infected with PRRSV JXwn06. The RdRp domain of nsp9 was shown to be responsible for its interaction with ILF2, while three truncated nsp2 were shown to interact with ILF2. Moreover, we observed that ILF2 partly translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and co-localized with nsp9 and nsp2 in PRRSV-infected MARC-145 cells and PAMs. Finally, our analysis indicated that knockdown of ILF2 favored the replication of PRRSV, while over-expression of ILF2 impaired the viral replication in MARC-145 cells. Conclusion Our findings are the first to confirm that the porcine ILF2 interacts with the nsp9 and nsp2 of PRRSV in vitro, and exerts negatively regulatory effect on the replication of PRRSV. Our present study provides more evidence for understanding the roles of the interactions between cellular proteins and viral proteins in the replication of PRRSV.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has remained a major threat to the worldwide swine industry ever since its first discovery in the early 1990s. Under the selective pressures in the field, this positive-stranded RNA virus undergoes rapid genetic evolution that eventually leads to emergence in 2006 of the devastating Chinese highly pathogenic PRRSV (HP-PRRSV). The atypical nature of HP-PRRSV has caused colossal economic losses to the swine producers in China and the surrounding countries. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis, evolution and ongoing field practices on the control of this troubling virus in China.

Abstract
Coronaviruses and arteriviruses are distantly related human and animal pathogens that belong to the order Nidovirales. Nidoviruses are characterized by their polycistronic plus-stranded RNA genome, the production of subgenomic mRNAs and the conservation of a specific array of replicase domains, including key RNA-synthesizing enzymes. Coronaviruses (26-34 kilobases) have the largest known RNA genomes and their replication presumably requires a processive RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and enzymatic functions that suppress the consequences of the typically high error rate of viral RdRps. The arteriviruses have significantly smaller genomes and form an intriguing package with the coronaviruses to analyse viral RdRp evolution and function. The RdRp domain of nidoviruses resides in a cleavage product of the replicase polyprotein named non-structural protein (nsp) 12 in coronaviruses and nsp9 in arteriviruses. In all nidoviruses, the C-terminal RdRp domain is linked to a conserved N-terminal domain, which has been coined NiRAN (nidovirus RdRp-associated nucleotidyl transferase). Although no structural information is available, the functional characterization of the nidovirus RdRp and the larger enzyme complex of which it is part, has progressed significantly over the past decade. In coronaviruses several smaller, non-enzymatic nsps were characterized that direct RdRp function, while a 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease activity in nsp14 was implicated in fidelity. In arteriviruses, the nsp1 subunit was found to maintain the balance between genome replication and subgenomic mRNA production. Understanding RdRp behaviour and interactions during RNA synthesis and subsequent processing will be key to rationalising the evolutionary success of nidoviruses and the development of antiviral strategies.

Abstract
We successfully constructed a full-length cDNA infectious clone of the encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) HB10 strain and obtained a partially attenuated rEMCV-C9 virus with a shorter poly(C) tract. Our results showed that the length of the EMCV-HB10 poly(C) tract was related to the pathogenicity of the EMCV-HB10 strain in vivo. Using pEMCV-C9 as the backbone, we constructed the novel viral vector pC9-MCS-∆2A by inserting a cDNA fragment containing a 127 amino acid deletion in the 2A protein, a primary cleavage cassette, a FLAG tag and a multiple cloning site (MCS) at the junction of VP1 and ∆2A. Additionally, the enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) gene was cloned into the MCS of pC9-MCS-∆2A to test its capacity to express foreign proteins. Insertion of the egfp gene did not affect viral replication, and a decrease in EGFP expression was observed within five serial passages. Furthermore, we found that rC9-EGFP-∆2A was avirulent in vivo, induced neutralizing antibody production and conferred protective immune responses against lethal challenge with EMCV in mice. Taken together, our results demonstrated that we had constructed an attenuated live vector based on an EMCV-HB10 strain with two modified critical virulence factors (the poly(C) tract and 2A protein) that could be used as a candidate live vaccine and a potential live viral vector for foreign antigen delivery.

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Nucleocapsid Protein Interacts with Nsp9 and Cellular DHX9 To Regulate Viral RNA Synthesis. J Virol 2016; 90:5384-5398. [PMID: 27009951 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.03216-15] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2015] [Accepted: 03/15/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
UNLABELLED Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) nucleocapsid (N) protein is the main component of the viral capsid to encapsulate viral RNA, and it is also a multifunctional protein involved in the regulation of host cell processes. Nonstructural protein 9 (Nsp9) is the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that plays a critical role in viral RNA transcription and replication. In this study, we demonstrate that PRRSV N protein is bound to Nsp9 by protein-protein interaction and that the contacting surface on Nsp9 is located in the two predicted α-helixes formed by 48 residues at the C-terminal end of the protein. Mutagenesis analyses identified E646, E608, and E611 on Nsp9 and Q85 on the N protein as the pivotal residues participating in the N-Nsp9 interaction. By overexpressing the N protein binding fragment of Nsp9 in infected Marc-145 cells, the synthesis of viral RNAs, as well as the production of infectious progeny viruses, was dramatically inhibited, suggesting that Nsp9-N protein association is involved in the process of viral RNA production. In addition, we show that PRRSV N interacts with cellular RNA helicase DHX9 and redistributes the protein into the cytoplasm. Knockdown of DHX9 increased the ratio of short subgenomic mRNAs (sgmRNAs); in contrast, DHX9 overexpression benefited the synthesis of longer sgmRNAs and the viral genomic RNA (gRNA). These results imply that DHX9 is recruited by the N protein in PRRSV infection to regulate viral RNA synthesis. We postulate that N and DHX9 may act as antiattenuation factors for the continuous elongation of nascent transcript during negative-strand RNA synthesis. IMPORTANCE It is unclear whether the N protein of PRRSV is involved in regulation of the viral RNA production process. In this report, we demonstrate that the N protein of the arterivirus PRRSV participates in viral RNA replication and transcription through interacting with Nsp9 and its RdRp and recruiting cellular RNA helicase to promote the production of longer viral sgmRNAs and gRNA. Our data here provide some new insights into the discontinuous to continuous extension of PRRSV RNA synthesis and also offer a new potential anti-PRRSV strategy targeting the N-Nsp9 and/or N-DHX9 interaction.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) causes a highly contagious disease in young chickens and leads to significant economic loss in the poultry industry. The identification of host cellular molecules that bind to IBDV will improve the understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. In this study, using a virus overlay protein-binding assay (VOPBA) and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, IBDV was found to bind chicken Anx2, a membrane protein fraction from DF-1 cells. Its interactions were further confirmed by an overlay assay. The results of an immunofluorescence assay and flow cytometry showed that Anx2 could be expressed and colocalized with IBDV on the surface of infected cells. Moreover, either the soluble recombinant Anx2 or an anti-Anx2 antibody could inhibit IBDV binding to and infection of DF-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The knockdown of Anx2 of DF-1 cells by small interfering RNA clearly reduced the subsequent virus yield, and overexpression of Anx2 was capable of enhancing the virus yield. These results indicate, for the first time, that binding to Anx2 is beneficial for IBDV infection.

Abstract
The nonstructural protein 9 (Nsp9) of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has been recognized to play important roles in viral replication. The present study first screened that the DEAD-box RNA helicase 5 (DDX5) was a cellular protein interacting with the Nsp9 of PRRSV by a yeast two-hybrid method in a pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs) cDNA library. Next, DDX5 was shown to interact with viral Nsp9 in the co-transfected HEK293 cells with the DDX5- and Nsp9-expressing plasmids, and the interaction between endogenous DDX5 and Nsp9 was also confirmed in MARC-145 cells infected with the Nsp9-expressing lentiviruses. Then, the interacting domains between DDX5 and Nsp9 were determined to be the DEXDc and HELICc domains in DDX5 and the RdRp domain in Nsp9, respectively. Moreover, in the HEK293 cells, MARC-145 cells and PAM cell lines co-transfected with the DDX5- and Nsp9-expressing plasmids, Nsp9 was shown to co-localize with DDX5 in the cytoplasm with a perinuclear pattern, and meanwhile in PRRSV-infected MARC-145 cells and PAMs, endogenous DDX5 was also found to co-localize with Nsp9. Finally, silencing the DDX5 gene in MARC-145 cells significantly impacted the replication of PRRSV, and while the over-expression of DDX5 could slightly enhance viral replication. These findings indicate that DDX5 positively regulates the replication of PRRSV via its interaction with viral Nsp9 in vitro.

Virology 2014; 464-465:432-440. [PMID: 25146601 PMCID: PMC7112046 DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2014.07.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2014] [Revised: 07/18/2014] [Accepted: 07/21/2014] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The nonstructural protein 9 (Nsp9) of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) that plays a vital role in viral replication. This study first demonstrated that the Nsp9 of genotype 2 PRRSV interacted with cellular retinoblastoma protein (pRb), and Nsp9 co-localized with pRb in the cytoplasm of PRRSV-infected MARC-145 cells and pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAMs). Next, the overexpression of truncated pRb was shown to inhibit the PRRSV replication and silencing the pRb gene could facilitate the PRRSV replication in MARC-145 cells. Finally, the pRb level was confirmed to be down-regulated in PRRSV-infected MARC-145 cells, and Nsp9 was shown to promote the pRb degradation by proteasome pathway. These findings indicate that the interaction of Nsp 9 with pRb benefits the replication of genotype 2 PRRSV in vitro, helping to understand the roles of Nsp9 in the replication and pathogenesis of PRRSV. The Nsp9 of genotype 2 PRRSV interacted with retinoblastoma protein (pRb). The pRb level was down-regulated in PRRSV-infected MARC-145 cells. The Nsp9 of genotype 2 PRRSV promoted the pRb degradation by proteasome pathway. The interaction of Nsp 9 with pRb benefits the genotype 2 PRRSV replication in vitro.
