RUNX Proteins as Epigenetic Modulators in Cancer. Cells 2022; 11:cells11223687. [PMID: 36429115 PMCID: PMC9688118 DOI: 10.3390/cells11223687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
RUNX proteins are highly conserved in metazoans and perform critical functions during development. Dysregulation of RUNX proteins through various molecular mechanisms facilitates the development and progression of various cancers, where different RUNX proteins show tumor type-specific functions and regulate different aspects of tumorigenesis by cross-talking with different signaling pathways such as Wnt, TGF-β, and Hippo. Molecularly, they could serve as transcription factors (TFs) to activate their direct target genes or interact with many other TFs to modulate chromatin architecture globally. Here, we review the current knowledge on the functions and regulations of RUNX proteins in different cancer types and highlight their potential role as epigenetic modulators in cancer.

Price AM, Steinbock RT, Lauman R, Charman M, Hayer KE, Kumar N, Halko E, Lum KK, Wei M, Wilson AC, Garcia BA, Depledge DP, Weitzman MD. Novel viral splicing events and open reading frames revealed by long-read direct RNA sequencing of adenovirus transcripts. PLoS Pathog 2022; 18:e1010797. [PMID: 36095031 PMCID: PMC9499273 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Adenovirus is a common human pathogen that relies on host cell processes for transcription and processing of viral RNA and protein production. Although adenoviral promoters, splice junctions, and polyadenylation sites have been characterized using low-throughput biochemical techniques or short read cDNA-based sequencing, these technologies do not fully capture the complexity of the adenoviral transcriptome. By combining Illumina short-read and nanopore long-read direct RNA sequencing approaches, we mapped transcription start sites and RNA cleavage and polyadenylation sites across the adenovirus genome. In addition to confirming the known canonical viral early and late RNA cassettes, our analysis of splice junctions within long RNA reads revealed an additional 35 novel viral transcripts that meet stringent criteria for expression. These RNAs include fourteen new splice junctions which lead to expression of canonical open reading frames (ORFs), six novel ORF-containing transcripts, and 15 transcripts encoding for messages that could alter protein functions through truncation or fusion of canonical ORFs. In addition, we detect RNAs that bypass canonical cleavage sites and generate potential chimeric proteins by linking distinct gene transcription units. Among these chimeric proteins we detected an evolutionarily conserved protein containing the N-terminus of E4orf6 fused to the downstream DBP/E2A ORF. Loss of this novel protein, E4orf6/DBP, was associated with aberrant viral replication center morphology and poor viral spread. Our work highlights how long-read sequencing technologies combined with mass spectrometry can reveal further complexity within viral transcriptomes and resulting proteomes.

Abstract
Background Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are zoonotic, segmented negative-stranded RNA viruses. The rapid mutation of IAVs results in host immune response escape and antiviral drug and vaccine resistance. RUNX1 is a transcription factor that not only plays essential roles in hematopoiesis, but also functions as a regulator in inflammation. However, its role in the innate immunity to IAV infection has not been well studied. Methods To investigate the effects of RUNX1 on IAV infection and explore the mechanisms that RUNX1 uses during IAV infection. We infected the human alveolar epithelial cell line (A549) with influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) (PR8) and examined RUNX1 expression by Western blot and qRT-PCR. We also knocked down or overexpressed RUNX1 in A549 cells, then evaluated viral replication by Western blot, qRT-PCR, and viral titration. Results We found RUNX1 expression is induced by IAV H1N1 PR8 infection, but not by poly(I:C) treatment, in the human alveolar epithelial cell line A549. Knockdown of RUNX1 significantly inhibited IAV infection. Conversely, overexpression of RUNX1 efficiently promoted production of progeny viruses. Additionally, RUNX1 knockdown increased IFN-β and ISGs production while RUNX1 overexpression compromised IFN-β and ISGs production upon PR8 infection in A549 cells. We further showed that RUNX1 may attenuate the interferon signaling transduction by hampering the expression of IRF3 and STAT1 during IAV infection. Conclusions Taken together, we found RUNX1 attenuates type I interferon signaling to facilitate IAV infection in A549 cells.

Protein–Protein Interactions Facilitate E4orf6-Dependent Regulation of E1B-55K SUMOylation in HAdV-C5 Infection. Viruses 2022; 14:v14030463. [PMID: 35336871 PMCID: PMC8953357 DOI: 10.3390/v14030463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The human adenovirus type C5 (HAdV-C5) E1B-55K protein is a multifunctional regulator of HAdV-C5 replication, participating in many processes required for maximal virus production. Its multifunctional properties are primarily regulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). The most influential E1B-55K PTMs are phosphorylation at highly conserved serine and threonine residues at the C-terminus, and SUMO conjugation to lysines 104 (K104) and 101 (K101) situated in the N-terminal region of the protein, which have been shown to regulate each other. Reversible SUMO conjugation provides a molecular switch that controls key functions of the viral protein, including intracellular trafficking and viral immune evasion. Interestingly, SUMOylation at SUMO conjugation site (SCS) K104 is negatively regulated by another multifunctional HAdV-C5 protein, E4orf6, which is known to form a complex with E1B-55K. To further evaluate the role of E4orf6 in the regulation of SUMO conjugation to E1B-55K, we analyzed different virus mutants expressing E1B-55K proteins with amino acid exchanges in both SCS (K101 and K104) in the presence or absence of E4orf6. We could exclude phosphorylation as factor for E4orf6-mediated reduction of E1B-55K SUMOylation. In fact, we demonstrate that a direct interaction between E1B-55K and E4orf6 is required to reduce E1B-55K SUMOylation. Additionally, we show that an E4orf6-mediated decrease of SUMO conjugation to K101 and K104 result in impaired co-localization of E1B-55K and SUMO in viral replication compartments. These findings indicate that E4orf6 inhibits E1B-55K SUMOylation, which could favor assembly of E4orf6-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that are known to degrade a variety of host restriction factors by proteasomal degradation and, thereby, promote viral replication.

Double-edged role of PML nuclear bodies during human adenovirus infection. Virus Res 2020; 295:198280.

Abstract
PML nuclear bodies are matrix-bound nuclear structures with a variety of functions in human cells. These nuclear domains are interferon regulated and play an essential role during virus infections involving accumulation of SUMO-dependent host and viral factors. PML-NBs are targeted and subsequently manipulated by adenoviral regulatory proteins, illustrating their crucial role during productive infection and virus-mediated oncogenic transformation. PML-NBs have a longstanding antiviral reputation; however, the genomes of Human Adenoviruses and initial sites of viral transcription/replication are found juxtaposed to these domains, resulting in a double-edged capacity of these nuclear multiprotein/multifunctional complexes. This enigma provides evidence that Human Adenoviruses selectively counteract antiviral responses, and simultaneously benefit from or even depend on proviral PML-NB associated components by active recruitment to PML track-like structures, that are induced during infection. Thereby, a positive microenvironment for adenoviral transcription and replication is created at these nuclear subdomains. Based on the available data, this review aims to provide a detailed overview of the current knowledge of Human Adenovirus crosstalk with nuclear PML body compartments as sites of SUMOylation processes in the host cells, evaluating the currently known principles and molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
The adenovirus E1B 55K (E1B) protein plays major roles in productive adenoviral infection and cellular transformation. Interest in E1B increased because of the potential of adenoviruses as therapeutic vectors, and the E1B gene is commonly deleted from adenovirus vectors for anticancer therapy. E1B activities are spatiotemporally regulated through SUMOylation and phosphorylation, and through interactions with multiple partners that occur presumably at different intracellular sites and times postinfection. E1B is implicated in the formation of viral replication compartments and regulates viral genome replication and transcription, transcriptional repression, degradation of cellular proteins, and several intranuclear steps of viral late mRNA biogenesis. Here, we review advances in our understanding of E1B during productive adenovirus replication and discuss fundamental aspects that remain unresolved.

Abstract
Adenoviruses induce an extensive reorganization of the host cell nucleus during replication. Such a process results in the assembly of viral and cellular macromolecules into nuclear structures called adenovirus replication compartments (AdRCs), which function as platforms for viral DNA replication and gene expression. AdRCs co-opt host proteins and cellular pathways that restrict viral replication, suggesting that the mechanisms that control AdRC formation and function are essential for viral replication and lay at the basis of virus-host interactions. Here, we review the hallmarks of AdRCs and recent progress in our understanding of the formation, composition, and function of AdRCs. Furthermore, we discuss how AdRCs facilitate the interplay between viral and cellular machineries and hijack cellular functions to promote viral genome replication and expression.

Abstract
Runt-related transcription factor (RUNX) proteins belong to a transcription factors family known as master regulators of important embryonic developmental programs. In the last decade, the whole family has been implicated in the regulation of different oncogenic processes and signaling pathways associated with cancer. Furthermore, a suppressor tumor function has been also reported, suggesting the RUNX family serves key role in all different types of cancer. In this review, the known biological characteristics, specific regulatory abilities and experimental evidence of RUNX proteins will be analyzed to demonstrate their oncogenic potential and tumor suppressor abilities during oncogenic processes, suggesting their importance as biomarkers of cancer. Additionally, the importance of continuing with the molecular studies of RUNX proteins' and its dual functions in cancer will be underlined in order to apply it in the future development of specific diagnostic methods and therapies against different types of cancer.

Abstract
Human adenovirus type 5 (HAdV5) E4orf6 (early region 4 open reading frame 6 protein) is a multifunctional early viral protein promoting efficient replication and progeny production. E4orf6 complexes with E1B-55K to assemble cellular proteins into a functional E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that not only mediates proteasomal degradation of host cell substrates but also facilitates export of viral late mRNA to promote efficient viral protein expression and host cell shutoff. Recent findings defined the role of E4orf6 in RNA splicing independent of E1B-55K binding. To reveal further functions of the early viral protein in infected cells, we used a yeast two-hybrid system and identified the homeobox transcription factor HoxB7 as a novel E4orf6-associated protein. Using a HoxB7 knockdown cell line, we observed a positive role of HoxB7 in adenoviral replication. Our experiments demonstrate that the absence of HoxB7 leads to inefficient viral progeny production, as HAdV5 gene expression is highly regulated by HoxB7-mediated activation of various adenoviral promoters. We have thus identified a novel role of E4orf6 in HAdV5 gene transcription via regulation of homeobox protein-dependent modulation of viral promoter activity.

Abstract
Background The causative agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) genome encodes several unique group specific accessory proteins with unknown functions. Among them, accessory protein 3b (also known as ORF4) was lately identified as one of the viral interferon antagonist. Recently our lab uncovered a new role for 3b in upregulation of AP-1 transcriptional activity and its downstream genes. Thus, we believe that 3b might play an important role in SARS-CoV pathogenesis and therefore is of considerable interest. The current study aims at identifying novel host cellular interactors of the 3b protein. Methodology/Principal Findings In this study, using yeast two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation techniques, we have identified a host transcription factor RUNX1b (Runt related transcription factor, isoform b) as a novel interacting partner for SARS-CoV 3b protein. Chromatin immunoprecipitaion (ChIP) and reporter gene assays in 3b expressing jurkat cells showed recruitment of 3b on the RUNX1 binding element that led to an increase in RUNX1b transactivation potential on the IL2 promoter. Kinase assay and pharmacological inhibitor treatment implied that 3b also affect RUNX1b transcriptional activity by regulating its ERK dependent phosphorylation levels. Additionally, mRNA levels of MIP-1α, a RUNX1b target gene upregulated in SARS-CoV infected monocyte-derived dendritic cells, were found to be elevated in 3b expressing U937 monocyte cells. Conclusions/Significance These results unveil a novel interaction of SARS-CoV 3b with the host factor, RUNX1b, and speculate its physiological relevance in upregulating cytokines and chemokine levels in state of SARS virus infection.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of STAT1 indicate activation of interferon (IFN) signal transduction pathways. Here, we demonstrate that tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT1 is targeted by a unique mechanism in adenovirus (Ad)-infected cells. Ad is known to suppress IFN-inducible gene expression; however, we observed that Ad infection prolongs the tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 induced by alpha IFN in infected cells. To understand this paradoxical effect, we examined the subcellular localization of STAT1 following Ad infection and found that nuclear, tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT1 accumulates at viral replication centers. This form of STAT1 colocalized with newly synthesized viral DNA. Viral DNA replication, but not viral late gene expression, is required for the regulation of STAT1 phosphorylation. Our results indicate that Ad infection regulates STAT1 dephosphorylation rather than STAT1 phosphorylation. Consistent with this idea, we show that Ad infection disrupts the interaction between STAT1 and its cognate protein tyrosine phosphatase, TC45. Our findings indicate that Ad sequesters phosphorylated STAT1 at viral replication centers and inhibits STAT dephosphorylation. This report suggests a strategy employed by Ad to counteract an active form of STAT1 in the nucleus of infected cells.

Abstract
Human adenovirus 40 (Ad40) is an interesting candidate for vector construction because of its tropism for the gastrointestinal tract. Although effective preparation of the vector is necessary for its in vivo application, amplification of Ad40 has been very difficult. Ad40 E1 deletion mutants were detected by PCR in the viral DNA from Ad40 Dugan amplified by Ad5 E1-expressing human embryonic kidney (293) cells and in Ad40 Dugan plaques observed with Ad5 E1-expressing human retinoblastic cells. For the purpose of generating a single wild-type Ad40 clone, the entire Ad40 DNA was cloned into a plasmid by homologous recombination. A pure Ad40 was successfully generated by plasmid transfection and subsequently amplified with Ad5 E4orf6-inducible 293 (2V6.11) cells. 2V6.11 is an apposite cell line for effective Ad40 amplification and for future vector construction because Ad40 genetic integrity was maintained with this Ad5 E1 and E4orf6 trans-complementing cell line.

Abstract
The adenovirus type 5 E1B-55 kDa oncoprotein forms a complex with the tumor suppressor p53 and inactivates it. E1B-55 kDa and p53 are each capable of forming oligomers. We mapped the oligomerization domain of E1B-55 kDa to the central portion of the protein. Disturbing E1B-55 kDa self-association by point mutations at residues 285/286 or 307 not only impairs its intracellular localization to the cytoplasmic clusters, but in addition, its association with p53. Strikingly, tetramerization of p53 is also required for efficient association with E1B-55 kDa. Moreover, two different E1B-55 kDa mutants defective for p53 binding but proficient for oligomerization can trans-complement each other for p53 relocalization. We propose that the homo-oligomerization of each component enables efficient interaction between E1B-55 kDa and p53 through increased avidity.
