Multifaceted interactions between host ESCRT-III and budded virus-related proteins involved in entry and egress of the baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus. J Virol 2024; 98:e0190023. [PMID: 38289107 PMCID: PMC10878073 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01900-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) is a conserved protein machine mediating membrane remodeling and scission. In the context of viral infection, different components of the ESCRT-III complex, which serve as the core machinery to catalyze membrane fission, are involved in diverse viruses' entry, replication, and/or budding. However, the interplay between ESCRT-III and viral factors in the virus life cycle, especially for that of large enveloped DNA viruses, is largely unknown. Recently, the ESCRT-III components Vps2B, Vps20, Vps24, Snf7, Vps46, and Vps60 were determined for entry and/or egress of the baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV). Here, we identified the final three ESCRT-III components Chm7, Ist1, and Vps2A of Spodoptera frugiperda. Overexpression of the dominant-negative forms of these proteins or RNAi downregulation of their transcripts significantly reduced infectious budded viruses (BVs) production of AcMNPV. Quantitative PCR together with confocal and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that these proteins were required for internalization and trafficking of BV during entry and egress of nucleocapsids. In infected Sf9 cells, nine ESCRT-III components were distributed on the nuclear envelope and plasma membrane, and except for Chm7, the other components were also localized to the intranuclear ring zone. Y2H and BiFC analysis revealed that 42 out of 64 BV-related proteins including 35 BV structural proteins and 7 non-BV structural proteins interacted with single or multiple ESCRT-III components. By further mapping the interactome of 64 BV-related proteins, we established the interaction networks of ESCRT-III and the viral protein complexes involved in BV entry and egress.IMPORTANCEFrom archaea to eukaryotes, the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-III complex is hijacked by many enveloped and nonenveloped DNA or RNA viruses for efficient replication. However, the mechanism of ESCRT-III recruitment, especially for that of large enveloped DNA viruses, remains elusive. Recently, we found the ESCRT-III components Vps2B, Vps20, Vps24, Snf7, Vps46, and Vps60 are necessary for the entry and/or egress of budded viruses (BVs) of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus. Here, we demonstrated that the other three ESCRT-III components Chm7, Ist1, and Vps2A play similar roles in BV infection. By determining the subcellular localization of ESCRT-III components in infected cells and mapping the interaction of nine ESCRT-III components and 64 BV-related proteins, we built the interaction networks of ESCRT-III and the viral protein complexes involved in BV entry and egress. These studies provide a fundamental basis for understanding the mechanism of the ESCRT-mediated membrane remodeling for replication of baculoviruses.

Abstract
The virulence of SARS-CoV-2 decreases with increasing infectivity, the primary approaches for antiviral treatments will be preventing or minimizing the complications resulting from virus infection. ADAM metallopeptidase domain 17 (ADAM17) activation by SARS-CoV-2 infection has a dual effect on the development of the disease: increased release of inflammatory cytokines and dysregulation of Angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2) on cell surfaces, inflammatory cytokine infiltration and loss of ACE2 protective function lead to a significant increase in the incidence of related complications. Importantly, pathologically activated ADAM17 showed superior features than S protein in regulating ACE2 expression and participating in the intra cellular replication of SARS-CoV-2. In short, SARS-CoV-2 elicits only a limited immune response when it promotes its own replication and pathogenicity through ADAM17. Therefore, the pathological activation of ADAM17 may also represent a diminished innate antiviral defense and an altered strategy of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this review, we summarized recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of ADAM17, with a focus on the new findings that SARS-CoV-2 affects ADAM17 expression through Furin protein converting enzyme and Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, and raises the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 may mediates the pathological activation of ADAM17 by hijacking the actin regulatory pathway, and discussed the underlying biological principles.

Enhanced virulence of genetically engineered Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus owing to accelerated viral DNA replication aided by inserted ascovirus genes. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 192:105382. [PMID: 37105642 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105382] [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: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Genetic engineering technology is an ideal method to improve insecticidal efficiency by combining the advantages of different pathogenic microorganisms. Thus, six ascovirus genes were introduced into the genomic DNA of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) to possibly transfer the intrinsically valuable insecticidal properties from ascovirus to baculovirus. The viral budded virus (BV) production and viral DNA replication ability of AcMNPV-111 and AcMNPV-165 were significantly stronger than that of AcMNPV-Egfp (used as the wild-type virus in this study), whereas AcMNPV-33 had reduced ones. AcMNPV-111 and AcMNPV-165 also exhibited excellent insecticidal efficiency in the in vivo bioassays: AcMNPV-111 showed a 24.1% decrease in the LT50 value and AcMNPV-165 exhibited a 56.3% decrease in the LD50 value compared with AcMNPV-Egfp against the 3rd instar of Spodoptera exigua larvae, respectively. Furthermore, the size of the occlusion bodies (OBs) of AcMNPV-33, AcMNPV-111, and AcMNPV-165 were significantly increased compared to that of AcMNPV-Egfp. AcMNPV-111 and AcMNPV-165 had stable virulence against the 2nd to 4th instars tested larvae and higher OB yield than AcMNPV-Egfp in the 3rd and 4th instar larvae. Correlation and regression analyses indicated that it is better to use 5 OBs/larva virus to infect the 2nd instar larvae to produce AcMNPV-111 and 50 OBs/larva virus to infect the 3rd instar larvae to produce AcMNPV-165. The results of this study obtained recombinant viruses with enhanced virulence and exhibited a diversity of ascovirus gene function based on the baculovirus platform, which provided a novel strategy for the improvement of baculovirus as a biological insecticide.

Abstract
Silkworm (Bombyx mori) is not only an economic insect but also a model organism for life science research. Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) disease is a major infectious disease in the world's sericulture industry. The cocoon loss caused by this disease accounts for more than 60% of the total loss caused by all silkworm diseases. To date, there has been no effective solution for preventing and treating this disease. The most effective measure is to breed disease-resistant varieties. The quickest way to breed disease-resistant varieties is to apply genetic modification. However, this requires that we obtain disease resistance genes and know the mechanism of disease resistance. Since the discovery of disease-resistant resources in 1989, scholars in the sericulture industry around the world have been inspired to search for resistance genes. In the past two decades, with the help of multi-omics technologies, screening of resistance genes, gene localization, protein modification, virus-host interactions, etc., researchers have found some candidate genes that have been proposed to function at the cellular or individual level. Several disease-resistant varieties have been obtained and used in production through hybrid breeding, RNA interference, and genetic modification. This article summarizes and reviews the discovery of and research advances related to silkworm resistance to BmNPV. It is anticipated that the review will inspire scientific researchers to continue searching for disease resistance genes, clarify the molecular mechanism of silkworm disease resistance, and promote disease-resistant silkworm breeding.

A selection marker-free method for gene deletion and editing in baculovirus genomes. J Virol Methods 2022; 310:114624.

Abstract
Here, we develop a simple, efficient, bacmid-based, selection marker-free method for gene deletion and editing in baculovirus genomes. Specifically, based on pFastbac1, a donor plasmid with long left and right homology arms but without a reporter was constructed for disrupting ie1, an essential baculovirus gene. Instead of ligating with a plasmid, the homology arms were introduced to the polyhedrin locus of BmNPV bacmid using the BmNPV bac-to-bac expression system. Two viruses generated from the modified bacmid and unmodified BmNPV bacmid were then used to co-infect BmN cells in order that recombination takes place at the ie1 locus between them. Finally, without multiple rounds of purification, total cellular DNA was isolated, transformed into Cacl2-treated competent DH10B cells, and then blue colonies were selected for PCR screening. Remarkably, the proportion of blue colonies containing ie1-disrupted bacmid was found to be around 7 %. Moreover, using primers flanking the homology arms further confirmed that all these positive recombinants were double crossovers. These findings indicate that our method is also capable of gene modification if inverse PCR or seamless cloning is used to construct the donor plasmid and sequencing is employed to select positive colonies.

Abstract
The nuclear lamina is the main component of the nuclear cytoskeleton that maintains the integrity of the nucleus. However, it represents a natural barrier for viruses replicating in the cell nucleus. The lamina blocks viruses from being trafficked to the nucleus for replication, but it also impedes the nuclear egress of the progeny of viral particles. Thus, viruses have evolved mechanisms to overcome this obstacle. Large viruses induce the assembly of multiprotein complexes that are anchored to the inner nuclear membrane. Important components of these complexes are the viral and cellular kinases phosphorylating the lamina and promoting its disaggregation, therefore allowing virus egress. Small viruses also use cellular kinases to induce lamina phosphorylation and the subsequent disruption in order to facilitate the import of viral particles during the early stages of infection or during their nuclear egress. Another component of the nuclear cytoskeleton, nuclear actin, is exploited by viruses for the intranuclear movement of their particles from the replication sites to the nuclear periphery. This study focuses on exploitation of the nuclear cytoskeleton by viruses, although this is just the beginning for many viruses, and promises to reveal the mechanisms and dynamic of physiological and pathological processes in the nucleus.

Effects of CRM1-dependent nuclear export inhibition on viral structural protein nuclear accumulation during Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus infection. Virus Res 2021; 303:198504.

Abstract
Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) assembles its nucleocapsids and occlusion-derived virions (ODVs) in the nucleus, which requires AcMNPV regulation for viral structural proteins to accumulate in the nucleus during its replication in cells. It is generally accepted that the nuclear import receptor plays a predominant role in this process. CRM1 is a nuclear export receptor that forms an export complex with its cargo protein to exit the nucleus. We previously discovered that AcMNPV inhibited CRM1-dependent nuclear export by the viral protein Ac34. This finding suggested that Ac34 could sequester CRM1-dependent proteins in the nucleus and play a novel role in the nuclear accumulation of viral structural proteins. Using the CRM1 inhibitor leptomycin B (LMB), we demonstrated that CRM1 inhibition promoted AcMNPV replication, as LMB treatment readily increased the virus titer, and even functionally surrogate Ac34 to rescue the infectivity of an ac34-knockout virus. To elucidate whether CRM1 inhibition contributes to the nuclear accumulation of viral structural proteins, we systematically analyzed the impact of CRM1 inhibition on viral protein spatial distribution patterns. We found that the nucleocapsid protein Ac102 and ODV envelope protein E26 were retained in the nucleus in response to CRM1 inhibition by Ac34. This finding indicates that AcMNPV is evolving to simultaneously exploit bidirectional nucleocytoplasmic trafficking to assist in viral replication.

Abstract
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a major pathogen causing severe economic loss. However, the molecular mechanism of silkworm resistance to BmNPV and the interactions of this virus with the host during infection remain largely unclear. To explore the virus-binding proteins of silkworms, the midgut subcellular component proteins that may interact with BmNPV were analyzed in vitro based on one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis and far-western blotting combined with mass spectrometry (MS). A total of 24 proteins were determined to be specifically bound to budded viruses (BVs) in two subcellular fractions (mitochondria and microsomes). These proteins were involved in viral transportation, energy metabolism, apoptosis and viral propagation, and they responded to BmNPV infection with different expression profiles in different resistant strains. In particular, almost all the identified proteins were downregulated in the A35 strain following BmNPV infection. Interestingly, there were no virus-binding proteins identified in the cytosolic fraction of the silkworm midgut. Two candidate proteins, RACK1 and VDAC2, interacted with BVs, as determined with far-western blotting and reverse far-western blotting. We speculated that the proteins interacting with the virus could either enhance or inhibit the infection of the virus. The data provide comprehensive useful information for further research on the interaction of the host with BmNPV.

Abstract
AcMNPV is the first baculovirus to be sequenced and is considered a model of baculovirus. ac154 is a later expression gene in AcMNPV genome and its function is unknown. In this study, we explored the function of Ac154 in AcMNPV infection process in host Sf9 cells. The results showed that Ac154 was distributed in both nucleus and cytoplasm. Knockout of ac154 did not affect the production of BV, but the yield of progeny virus was reduced, indicating the auxiliary function of Ac154 in virus production. MTT assay showed that Ac154 promoted the proliferation and inhibited apoptosis of Sf9 cells. Overexpression of ac154 gene significantly increased the transcription level of anti-apoptotic gene p35, and delayed the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein SfP53 and reduced its expression level, which indicated its anti-apoptotic role in the host cells. In conclusion, our results demonstrated Ac154 could delay apoptosis process in host cells by regulating the transcription of p35 gene and the expression of SfP53 protein, which provided a more favorable environment for progeny virus replication and packaging, thereby promoting the proliferation of progeny virus. So we provided a potentially improved bac-to-bac eukaryotic protein expression system and biopesticide in this work.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are small noncoding RNAs found in plants, animals, and many viruses, regulate various biological processes. Our group has previously reported the first miRNA encoded by Autographa californica multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), AcMNPV-miR-1, which regulates the expression of three viral genes. This study characterizes another miRNA encoded by AcMNPV, AcMNPV-miR-3. This miRNA is located on the opposite strand of the viral gene ac101 coding sequence in the AcMNPV genome, and it can be detected at 6 h post-infection and accumulated to a peak around 12 h post-infection in AcMNPV infected Sf9 cells. Five viral genes (ac101, ac23, ac25, ac86, and ac98) were verified to be regulated by AcMNPV-miR-3. Ac101 was markedly down-regulated by AcMNPV-miR-3 that may be via a siRNA-like cleavage mode. Administrating excessive AcMNPV-miR-3 resulted in decreased production of infectious budded virions (BV) and accelerated the formation of occlusion-derived virions (ODV). These results suggest that AcMNPV-miR-3 may play a regulatory role in BV and ODV production.

Dissecting the Cell Entry Pathway of Baculovirus by Single-Particle Tracking and Quantitative Electron Microscopic Analysis. J Virol 2019; 93:JVI.00033-19.

Abstract
The budded virus of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) infects insect cells through mainly clathrin-mediated endocytosis. However, the cell entry pathway of AcMNPV remains unclear. In this study, by using population-based analysis of single-virus tracking and electron microscopy, we investigated the internalization, fusion behavior, and endocytic trafficking of AcMNPV. AcMNPV internalization into host insect cells was facilitated by actin polymerization and dynamin. After incorporation into early endosomes, the AcMNPV envelope fused with the membranes of early endosome, allowing for nucleocapsid release into the cytoplasm. Microtubules were implicated in the bidirectional and long-range transport of virus-containing endosomes. In addition, microtubule depolymerization reduced the motility of virus-bearing early endosomes, impairing the progression of infection beyond enlarged early endosomes. These findings demonstrated that AcMNPV internalization was facilitated by actin polymerization in a dynamin-dependent manner, and nucleocapsid release occurred in early endosomes in a microtubule-dependent manner. This study provides mechanistic and kinetic insights into AcMNPV infection and enhance our understanding of the infection pathway of baculoviruses.IMPORTANCE Baculoviruses are used widely as environmentally benign pesticides, protein expression systems, and potential mammalian gene delivery vectors. Despite the significant application value, little is known about the cell entry and endocytic trafficking pathways of baculoviruses. In this study, we demonstrated that the alphabaculovirus AcMNPV exhibited actin- and microtubule-dependent transport for nucleocapsid release predominantly from within early endosomes. In contrast to AcMNPV transduction in mammalian cells, its infection in host insect cells is facilitated by actin polymerization for internalization and microtubules for endocytic trafficking within early endosomes, implying that AcMNPV exhibits cell type specificity in the requirement of the cytoskeleton network. In addition, experimental depolymerization of microtubules impaired the progression of infection beyond enlarged early endosomes. This is the first study that dissects the cell entry pathway of baculoviruses in host cells at the single-particle level, which advances our understanding of the early steps of baculovirus entry.

Global Analysis of Baculovirus Autographa californica Multiple Nucleopolyhedrovirus Gene Expression in the Midgut of the Lepidopteran Host Trichoplusia ni. J Virol 2018; 92:JVI.01277-18. [PMID: 30209166 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01277-18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2018] [Accepted: 08/16/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) is a large double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus that encodes approximately 156 genes and is highly pathogenic to a variety of larval lepidopteran insects in nature. Oral infection of larval midgut cells is initiated by the occlusion-derived virus (ODV), while secondary infection of other tissues is mediated by the budded virus (BV). Global viral gene expression has been studied in detail in BV-infected cell cultures, but studies of ODV infection in the larval midgut are limited. In this study, we examined expression of the ∼156 AcMNPV genes in Trichoplusia ni midgut tissue using a transcriptomic approach. We analyzed expression profiles of viral genes in the midgut and compared them with profiles from a T. ni cell line (Tnms42). Several viral genes (p6.9, orf76, orf75, pp31, Ac-bro, odv-e25, and odv-ec27) had high expression levels in the midgut throughout the infection. Also, the expression of genes associated with occlusion bodies (polh and p10) appeared to be delayed in the midgut in comparison with the cell line. Comparisons of viral gene expression profiles revealed remarkable similarities between the midgut and cell line for most genes, although substantial differences were observed for some viral genes. These included genes associated with high level BV production (fp-25k), acceleration of systemic infection (v-fgf), and enhancement of viral movement (arif-1/orf20). These differential expression patterns appear to represent specific adaptations for virus infection and transmission through the polarized cells of the lepidopteran midgut.IMPORTANCE Baculoviruses such as AcMNPV are pathogens that are natural regulators of certain insect populations. Baculovirus infections are biphasic, with a primary phase initiated by oral infection of midgut epithelial cells by occlusion-derived virus (ODV) virions and a secondary phase in which other tissues are infected by budded-virus (BV) virions. While AcMNPV infections in cultured cells have been studied extensively, comparatively little is known regarding primary infection in the midgut. In these studies, we identified gene expression patterns associated with ODV-mediated infection of the midgut in Trichoplusia ni and compared those results with prior results from BV-infected cultured cells, which simulate secondary infection. These studies provide a detailed analysis of viral gene expression patterns in the midgut, which likely represent specific viral strategies to (i) overcome or avoid host defenses in the gut and (ii) rapidly move infection from the midgut, into the hemocoel to facilitate systemic infection.
