Defining Distinct RNA-Protein Interactomes of SARS-CoV-2 Genomic and Subgenomic RNAs. J Proteome Res 2024; 23:149-160.

Abstract
Host RNA binding proteins recognize viral RNA and play key roles in virus replication and antiviral mechanisms. SARS-CoV-2 generates a series of tiered subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs), each encoding distinct viral protein(s) that regulate different aspects of viral replication. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the successful isolation of SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA and three distinct sgRNAs (N, S, and ORF8) from a single population of infected cells and characterize their protein interactomes. Over 500 protein interactors (including 260 previously unknown) were identified as associated with one or more target RNA. These included protein interactors unique to a single RNA pool and others present in multiple pools, highlighting our ability to discriminate between distinct viral RNA interactomes despite high sequence similarity. Individual interactomes indicated viral associations with cell response pathways, including regulation of cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules and posttranscriptional gene silencing. We tested the significance of three protein interactors in these pathways (APOBEC3F, PPP1CC, and MSI2) using siRNA knockdowns, with several knockdowns affecting viral gene expression, most consistently PPP1CC. This study describes a new technology for high-resolution studies of SARS-CoV-2 RNA regulation and reveals a wealth of new viral RNA-associated host factors of potential functional significance to infection.

[PMID: 37508436 PMCID: PMC10376661 DOI: 10.3390/biology12071007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
Snf1, the fungal homologue of mammalian AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK), is a key protein kinase coordinating the response of cells to a shortage of glucose. In fungi, the response is to activate respiratory gene expression and metabolism. The major regulation of Snf1 activity has been extensively investigated: In the absence of glucose, it becomes activated by phosphorylation of its threonine at position 210. This modification can be erased by phosphatases when glucose is restored. In the past decade, two additional independent mechanisms of Snf1 regulation have been elucidated. In response to glucose (or, surprisingly, also to DNA damage), Snf1 is SUMOylated by Mms21 at lysine 549. This inactivates Snf1 and leads to Snf1 degradation. More recently, glucose-induced proton export has been found to result in Snf1 inhibition via a polyhistidine tract (13 consecutive histidine residues) at the N-terminus of the Snf1 protein. Interestingly, the polyhistidine tract plays also a central role in the response to iron scarcity. This review will present some of the glucose-sensing mechanisms of S. cerevisiae, how they interact, and how their interplay results in Snf1 inhibition by three different, and independent, mechanisms.

Abstract
Host RNA binding proteins recognize viral RNA and play key roles in virus replication and antiviral defense mechanisms. SARS-CoV-2 generates a series of tiered subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs), each encoding distinct viral protein(s) that regulate different aspects of viral replication. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the successful isolation of SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA and three distinct sgRNAs (N, S, and ORF8) from a single population of infected cells and characterize their protein interactomes. Over 500 protein interactors (including 260 previously unknown) were identified as associated with one or more target RNA at either of two time points. These included protein interactors unique to a single RNA pool and others present in multiple pools, highlighting our ability to discriminate between distinct viral RNA interactomes despite high sequence similarity. The interactomes indicated viral associations with cell response pathways including regulation of cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules and posttranscriptional gene silencing. We validated the significance of five protein interactors predicted to exhibit antiviral activity (APOBEC3F, TRIM71, PPP1CC, LIN28B, and MSI2) using siRNA knockdowns, with each knockdown yielding increases in viral production. This study describes new technology for studying SARS-CoV-2 and reveals a wealth of new viral RNA-associated host factors of potential functional significance to infection.

Cao X, Lemaire S, Bollen M. Protein phosphatase 1: life-course regulation by SDS22 and Inhibitor-3. FEBS J 2021; 289:3072-3085. [PMID: 34028981 DOI: 10.1111/febs.16029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is expressed in all eukaryotic cells and catalyzes a sizable fraction of protein Ser/Thr dephosphorylation events. It is tightly regulated in space and time through association with a wide array of regulatory interactors of protein phosphatase one (RIPPOs). Suppressor-of-Dis2-number 2 (SDS22) and Inhibitor-3 (I3), which form a ternary complex with PP1, are the first two evolved and most widely expressed RIPPOs. Their deletion causes mitotic-arrest phenotypes and is lethal in some organisms. The role of SDS22 and I3 in PP1 regulation has been a mystery for decades as they were independently identified as both activators and inhibitors of PP1. This conundrum has largely been solved by recent reports showing that SDS22 and I3 control multiple steps of the life course of PP1. Indeed, they contribute to (a) the stabilization and activation of newly translated PP1, (b) the translocation of PP1 to the nucleus, and (c) the storage of PP1 as a reserve for holoenzyme assembly. Preliminary evidence suggests that SDS22 and I3 may also function as scavengers of released or aged PP1 for re-use in holoenzyme assembly or proteolytical degradation, respectively. Hence, SDS22 and I3 are emerging as master regulators of the life course of PP1.
