Abstract
Formation of inclusion bodies (IBs) is a hallmark of infections with negative-strand RNA viruses. Although the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) IBs had been observed in the 1950s, the characteristics of NDV IBs remained largely unknown. Here, we show that NDV infection triggers the formation of IBs that contain newly synthesized viral RNA. The structures of NDV IBs, observed by electron microscopy, were not membrane-bound. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching a region of NDV IBs occurred rapidly, and IBs were dissolved by 1,6-hexanediol treatment, demonstrating they exhibited properties consistent with liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). We find the nucleoprotein (NP) and phosphoprotein (P) are sufficient to generate IB-like puncta, with the N arm domain and N core region of NP and the C terminus of P playing important roles in this process. In summary, our findings suggest that NDV forms IBs containing viral RNA, and provide insights into the formation of NDV IBs.

Abstract
Gumboro illness is caused by the highly contagious immunosuppressive infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), which affects the poultry industry globally. We have previously shown that IBDV hijacks the endocytic pathway to construct viral replication complexes on endosomes linked to the Golgi complex (GC). Then, analyzing crucial proteins involved in the secretory pathway, we showed the essential requirement of Rab1b, the Rab1b downstream effector Golgi-specific BFA resistance factor 1 (GBF1), and its substrate, the small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1), for IBDV replication. In the current work, we focused on elucidating the IBDV assembly sites. We show that viral assembly occurs within single-membrane compartments closely associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes, though we failed to elucidate the exact nature of the virus-wrapping membranes. Additionally, we show that IBDV infection promotes the stress of the ER, characterized by an accumulation of the chaperone binding protein (BiP) and lipid droplets (LDs) in the host cells. Overall, our results represent further original data showing the interplay between IBDV and the secretory pathway, making a substantial contribution to the field of birnaviruses-host cell interactions.

Abstract
The use of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) reverse genetics to engineer tagged reporter viruses has revealed that the virus factories (VFs) of the Birnaviridae family are biomolecular condensates that show properties consistent with liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Although the VFs are not bound by membranes, it is currently thought that viral protein 3 (VP3) initially nucleates the formation of the VF on the cytoplasmic leaflet of early endosomal membranes, and likely drives LLPS. In addition to VP3, IBDV VFs contain VP1 (the viral polymerase) and the dsRNA genome, and they are the sites of de novo viral RNA synthesis. Cellular proteins are also recruited to the VFs, which are likely to provide an optimal environment for viral replication; the VFs grow due to the synthesis of the viral components, the recruitment of other proteins, and the coalescence of multiple VFs in the cytoplasm. Here, we review what is currently known about the formation, properties, composition, and processes of these structures. Many open questions remain regarding the biophysical nature of the VFs, as well as the roles they play in replication, translation, virion assembly, viral genome partitioning, and in modulating cellular processes.

Abstract
The formation of macromolecular complexes can be measured by detection of changes in rotational mobility using time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy. However, this method is limited to relatively small molecules (~0.1-30 kDa), excluding the majority of the human proteome and its complexes. We describe selective time-resolved anisotropy with reversibly switchable states (STARSS), which overcomes this limitation and extends the observable mass range by more than three orders of magnitude. STARSS is based on long-lived reversible molecular transitions of switchable fluorescent proteins to resolve the relatively slow rotational diffusivity of large complexes. We used STARSS to probe the rotational mobility of several molecular complexes in cells, including chromatin, the retroviral Gag lattice and activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein oligomers. Because STARSS can probe arbitrarily large structures, it is generally applicable to the entire human proteome.

Liaisons dangereuses: Intrinsic Disorder in Cellular Proteins Recruited to Viral Infection-Related Biocondensates. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032151. [PMID: 36768473 PMCID: PMC9917183 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is responsible for the formation of so-called membrane-less organelles (MLOs) that are essential for the spatio-temporal organization of the cell. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or regions (IDRs), either alone or in conjunction with nucleic acids, are involved in the formation of these intracellular condensates. Notably, viruses exploit LLPS at their own benefit to form viral replication compartments. Beyond giving rise to biomolecular condensates, viral proteins are also known to partition into cellular MLOs, thus raising the question as to whether these cellular phase-separating proteins are drivers of LLPS or behave as clients/regulators. Here, we focus on a set of eukaryotic proteins that are either sequestered in viral factories or colocalize with viral proteins within cellular MLOs, with the primary goal of gathering organized, predicted, and experimental information on these proteins, which constitute promising targets for innovative antiviral strategies. Using various computational approaches, we thoroughly investigated their disorder content and inherent propensity to undergo LLPS, along with their biological functions and interactivity networks. Results show that these proteins are on average, though to varying degrees, enriched in disorder, with their propensity for phase separation being correlated, as expected, with their disorder content. A trend, which awaits further validation, tends to emerge whereby the most disordered proteins serve as drivers, while more ordered cellular proteins tend instead to be clients of viral factories. In light of their high disorder content and their annotated LLPS behavior, most proteins in our data set are drivers or co-drivers of molecular condensation, foreshadowing a key role of these cellular proteins in the scaffolding of viral infection-related MLOs.

Abstract
This triennial International dsRNA Virus Symposium covered original data which have accrued during the most recent five years. In detail, the genomic diversity of these viruses continued to be explored; various structure-function studies were carried out using reverse genetics and biophysical techniques; intestinal organoids proved to be very suitable for special pathogenesis studies; and the potential of next generation rotavirus vaccines including use of rotavirus recombinants as vectored vaccine candidates was explored. 'Non-lytic release of enteric viruses in cloaked vesicles' was the topic of the keynote lecture by Nihal Altan-Bonnet, NIH, Bethesda, USA. The Jean Cohen lecturer of this meeting was Polly Roy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who spoke on aspects of the replication cycle of bluetongue viruses, and how some of the data are similar to details of rotavirus replication.
