Human Heat shock protein 40 (Hsp40/DnaJB1) promotes influenza A virus replication by assisting nuclear import of viral ribonucleoproteins. Sci Rep 2016; 6:19063.

Abstract
A unique feature of influenza A virus (IAV) life cycle is replication of the viral genome in the host cell nucleus. The nuclear import of IAV genome is an indispensable step in establishing virus infection. IAV nucleoprotein (NP) is known to mediate the nuclear import of viral genome via its nuclear localization signals. Here, we demonstrate that cellular heat shock protein 40 (Hsp40/DnaJB1) facilitates the nuclear import of incoming IAV viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) and is important for efficient IAV replication. Hsp40 was found to interact with NP component of IAV RNPs during early stages of infection. This interaction is mediated by the J domain of Hsp40 and N-terminal region of NP. Drug or RNAi mediated inhibition of Hsp40 resulted in reduced nuclear import of IAV RNPs, diminished viral polymerase function and attenuates overall viral replication. Hsp40 was also found to be required for efficient association between NP and importin alpha, which is crucial for IAV RNP nuclear translocation. These studies demonstrate an important role for cellular chaperone Hsp40/DnaJB1 in influenza A virus life cycle by assisting nuclear trafficking of viral ribonucleoproteins.

Abstract
Infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) is the type species of the genus Isavirus belonging to the Orthomyxoviridae, and causes serious disease in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). This study presents the expression and functional analysis of the ISAV genome segment 3, and provides further evidence that it encodes the viral nucleoprotein (NP). The encoded protein was expressed in a baculovirus system, and Western blot analysis showed that it corresponds to the 66-71 kDa structural protein previously found in purified ISAV preparations. RNA-binding activity was established by the interaction of viral and recombinant NP with single-stranded RNA transcribed in vitro. Immunofluorescence studies of infected cells showed the ISAV NP to be an early protein. It locates to the nucleus of infected cells before it is transported to the cytoplasm prior to virus assembly. A similar localization pattern was observed in cells transfected with the NP gene, confirming that the encoded protein has an intrinsic ability to be imported into the nucleus. Two monopartite nuclear localization signals (NLS) at amino acids (230)RPKR(233) and (473)KPKK(476) were identified by computer analysis, and validated by site-directed mutagenesis. In contrast to other orthomyxovirus-NPs, that have several NLSs that function independent of each other, both NLSs had to be present for the ISAV NP protein to be transported into the nucleus, indicating that these motifs cooperate to target the protein to the nucleus.

Abstract
All viruses with negative-sense RNA genomes encode a single-strand RNA-binding nucleoprotein (NP). The primary function of NP is to encapsidate the virus genome for the purposes of RNA transcription, replication and packaging. The purpose of this review is to illustrate using the influenza virus NP as a well-studied example that the molecule is much more than a structural RNA-binding protein, but also functions as a key adapter molecule between virus and host cell processes. It does so through the ability to interact with a wide variety of viral and cellular macromolecules, including RNA, itself, two subunits of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and the viral matrix protein. NP also interacts with cellular polypeptides, including actin, components of the nuclear import and export apparatus and a nuclear RNA helicase. The evidence for the existence of each of these activities and their possible roles in transcription, replication and intracellular trafficking of the virus genome is considered.

Abstract
ts5, a temperature-sensitive mutant of influenza B virus, belongs to one of seven recombination groups. When the mutant infected MDCK cells at the nonpermissive temperature (37.5 degrees C), infectious virus was produced at very low levels compared with the yield at the permissive temperature (32 degrees C) and hemagglutinating and enzymatic activities were undetectable. However, viral protein synthesis and transport of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) to the cell surface were not affected. The NA was found as a monomer within cells even at 32 degrees C, in contrast to wild-type virus NA, existing mostly as an oligomer, but the mutant had oligomeric NA, like the wild-type virus. Its enzymatic activity was more thermolabile than that of wild-type virus. Despite the low yield, large aggregates of progeny virus particles were found to accumulate on the cell surface at the nonpermissive temperature, and these aggregates were broken by treatment with bacterial neuraminidase, with the concomitant appearance of hemagglutinating activity, suggesting that NA prevents the aggregation of progeny virus by removal of neuraminic acid from HA and cell receptor, allowing its release from the cells. Further treatment with trypsin resulted in the recovery of infectivity. When bacterial NA was added to the culture early in infection, many hemagglutinable infectious virus was produced. We also suggest that the removal of neuraminic acid from HA by NA is essential for the subsequent cleavage of HA by cellular protease. Nucleotide sequence analysis of RNA segment 6 revealed that ts5 encoded five amino acid changes in the NA molecule but not in NB.

Abstract
We studied the antiviral activity and the mechanism of action of a new antiviral agent and kanamycin derivative, 1-N-eicosanoyl-3"-N-trifluoroacetyl kanamycin A (ETKA), against influenza A virus. From yield reduction assays with VERO cells, ETKA showed a significant antiviral activity with negligible cytotoxic effect. In the presence of 20 micrograms/ml of ETKA at which VERO cell growth was not inhibited, virus titer was suppressed to 11.2% of control, and at 100 micrograms/ml virus production was suppressed to more than 99%. ETKA markedly inhibited viral protein synthesis when cells were pretreated with the drug before infection, but there was no inhibition when the drug was added 15 min post-infection. ETKA did not inhibit virus adsorption and penetration. Nor did it affect the activity of viral RNA polymerase in vitro. We found that the drug had a direct inactivating effect on influenza A virus under acidic conditions. These results suggest that ETKA exerts its antiviral action mainly in the early stage, prior to uncoating by direct inactivation of the virus due to the acidic environment of the endocytic vesicle. Aerosol treatment with the drug protected mice against a lethal influenza A virus infection.

Abstract
Normal guinea pig serum lacking detectable antiviral antibody inactivated influenza B virus via the classical complement pathway. This virus inactivation appeared to result from the steric hindrance of HA activity by the association with the virus of serum proteins presumed to be complement components. Trypsin digestion of the associated proteins fully restored the HA activity but not infectivity. It was found that the virus underwent minor disruption of the envelope and degradation of M1 protein and genomic RNA.

Abstract
Severe muscle symptoms, particularly in children, are frequently associated with influenza B virus infection. In this study we examined the effects of influenza B virus (Lee Strain) on cultured human muscle by light and electron microscopy (EM), immunofluorescence, hemadsorption and plaque assays. Muscle injury was also evaluated by the appearance of muscle-specific creatine kinase (CK) in the culture medium. By fluorescence immunocytochemistry viral antigen was demonstrated in muscle cell nuclei within 3 h postinoculation (p.i.) and in the cytoplasm at 6 h p.i. Membrane-associated viral antigen was seen at 16 h p.i., at which time budding influenza virus-like particles could be demonstrated by EM, both in myoblasts and multinucleated myotubes. At 16 h all cells were hemadsorption positive. Plaque assays showed peak virus production at 48 h (p.i.), at which time cytopathic effects (cell retraction, pycnosis and cytoplasmic vacuolization) were prominent and some cells detached from the substratum. Leakage of muscle-specific CK isozyme into the culture medium could be demonstrated as early as 6 h p.i. with peak enzyme activity around 40-48 h p.i. Cytopathic changes and virus production were observed both in myoblasts and myotubes indicating that both cell types are susceptible.

Abstract
Host-dependent restriction of influenza B virus replication in L cells was analysed in comparison with productive infection in MDCK or 1-5C-4 cells. The synthesis and intracellular distribution of virus-specific proteins and the production of cytoplasmic ribonucleoproteins in nonpermissive L cells were similar to those in permissive MDCK cells. However, an electron microscopic study of infected L cells showed neither extracellular virions nor budding virus particles on the cell surface, in contrast to MDCK cells which produced numerous virus particles. PAGE analysis of the plasma membrane isolated from the cells demonstrated no significant difference in the composition of viral polypeptides between permissive 1-5C-4 and nonpermissive L cells. It was noted that the abortiveness of influenza B virus infection in L cells may be due to a defect in host cell function involved in the initiation of virus budding.

Abstract
Subgenomic RNAs (sgRNAs) were isolated from defective interfering virus produced by high multiplicity passage of the human influenza strain A/PR/8/34. Cloning and sequencing of 35 unique sgRNAs revealed that many were about 400 nucleotides long, containing about 200 nucleotides from each of the 5' and 3' ends of a full-length segment. Most of the sgRNAs were derived from segment 1, but there were examples from six other segments, including those encoding the haemagglutinin and neuraminidase. Our analysis of the sequence rearrangements found in sgRNAs indicates that they may be generated from the standard viral segments by a jumping viral polymerase that makes transitions between adjacent regions of the RNA template in the ribonucleoprotein tertiary structure.

Abstract
We purified the major influenza virus nonstructural protein, designated NS1, from cytoplasmic inclusions that were solubilized and used to raise antisera in rabbits. One of the antisera was found to be specific for NS1 by complement fixation tests and analyses of immune precipitates. Antiserum to NS1 isolated from cells infected with A/WSN/33 virus specifically precipitated NS1 from extracts of cells infected with seven distinct isolates of influenza A virus representing five different antigenic subtypes. These included A/WSN/33, A/PR/8/34, A/FW/5/50, A/USSR/90/77, A/RI/5+/57, A/Victoria/3/75, and A/Swine /1977/31; however, NS1 from cells infected with B/Lee/40 virus was not precipitated. Radioimmunoassays using radioiodinated NS1 protein from A/WSN virus-infected cells and unlabeled cytoplasmic extracts of cells infected with various strains of influenza virus as competitors indicated significant antigenic cross-reactivities for the NS1 proteins of all influenza A viruses tested. The results suggest a gradual antigenic drift over the 45 yr separating the earliest and most recent virus isolates examined. Thus, compared with the virion neuraminidase and hemagglutinin antigens, NS1 appears to be highly conserved in different influenza A virus isolates.

Abstract
When influenza A/RI/5+ virus-infected cells were incubated in medium to which 2 micrograms of canavanine (arginine analog) per ml had been added 4 hr after infection, all viral polypeptides were synthesized but the budding-like process with the appearance of extracellular virus was completely inhibited. The plasma membrane isolated from these cells contained exclusively hemagglutinin (HA), and membrane (M) protein and nucleoprotein (NP) appeared to be associated with the nucleus, in contrast to untreated cells whose plasma membrane contained abundant HA, M protein, and NP. Disruption of canavanine-treated cells by freeze-thawing generated a number of hemagglutinating membranous vesicles or fragments containing exclusively HA. By isotope labeling it was found that the M protein synthesized in the presence of canavanine, together with HA and NP, is a canavanine-substituted polypeptide. It is suggested that canavanine inhibits the formation of the mature envelope of influenza RI/5+, because of the inability of M protein to associate with the plasma membrane.

Abstract
When 1-5C-4 cells were infected with von Magnus virus derived from influenza A/RI/5+ virus by successive undiluted passages in chick embryos, virus-specific proteins were synthesized but production of infectious virus was inhibited. In these cells the synthesis of viral RNA was suppressed and the nucleoprotein (NP) antigen was found predominantly in the nucleus in contrast to standard virus-infected cells in which the antigen was distributed throughout the whole cell. The intracellular location and migration of NP were determined by isotope labeling and sucrose gradient centrifugation of subcellular fractions. In standard virus-infected cell NP polypeptide was present predominantly in the cytoplasm in the form of viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) and intranuclear RNP was detected in reduced amounts. In contrast, in von Magnus virus-infected cells NP polypeptide was present predominantly in the nucleus in a nonassembled, soluble from and the amount of cytoplasmic RNP was considerably reduced. After short-pulse labeling NP was detected exclusively in the cytoplasm in a soluble form and after a chase a large proportion of such soluble NP was seen in the nucleus. It is suggested that a large proportion of the NP synthesized in von Magnus virus-infected cells in not assembled into cytoplasmic RNP because of the lack of available RNA and the NP migrated into the nucleus and remained there.

Abstract
A study is described in which filamentous forms of influenza virus were observed budding from host cell surfaces. Cell cultures infected with influenza virus were stained by indirect immunofluorescence using an antiserum to purified haemagglutinin. Filaments greater than 100 micrometers in length, with several branch points along their length were observed; the number and length of filaments varied according to the virus strain and the time after infection. Examination of infected cells by electron microscopy confirmed the presence of branched structures with an ultrastructure typical of filamentous forms of influenza virus. The immunofluorescence technique was quicker than thin section electron microscopy and was a more sensitive procedure for the detection of filamentous forms of influenza virus than electron microscopy using negative stain. It also enabled the antigenic composition of the filaments to be observed.

Abstract
When p-fluorophenylalanine (FPA) was added to influenza virus RI/5+-infected cells 4 hr after infection, virus-specific proteins were synthesized but infectious progeny virus was not produced. In these cells, synthesis of viral RNA was strongly inhibited and nucleoprotein (NP) antigen was found predominantly in the nucleus in contrast to untreated cells in which NP antigen was distributed throughout the whole cell. The intracellular location and migration of NP were examined by isotope labeling followed by fractionation of infected cells. In untreated cells, a large portion of the NP was present in the cytoplasm and most of it was detected in the form of ribonucleoprotein (RNP). In contrast, in FPA-treated cells little viral RNP was detectable and NP was present predominantly in the nucleus in a nonassembled, soluble form. When FPA was removed from the culture, synthesis of viral RNA was soon restored and a large amount of viral RNP appeared in the cytoplasm; this was followed by the production of infectious virus. The results of the experiments suggest that the NP synthesized in the presence of FPA is not assembled into viral RNP because of the lack of available RNA, and such NP migrates readily into the nucleus and accumulates there.

Abstract
During the winter of 1977-1978 three influenza A virus serotypes (A/Vic/3/75, A/Texas/1/77 [both H3N2], and A/USSR/90/77 [H1N1]) circulated in Denver, offering us the opportunity to apply fluorescent antibody techniques to the specific identification of these viruses. Surface antigens of infected, unfixed primary monkey kidney cells were stained in suspension by an indirect immunofluorescence technique with anti-H3N2 and anti-H1N1 antisera. In tests of cells infected with known viruses, the members of the H3N2 family could not be distinguished from one another, but were easily distinguished from H1N1 strains. A total of 101 hemadsorption-positive clinical specimens were evaluated over a 6-month period. Forty-five of 48 influenza A H3N2 and 24 of 29 H1N1 specimens confirmed by hemagglutination inhibition were correctly identified by membrane fluorescence of cultured cells, with no misidentifications among influenza strains and with 1 false positive among 24 non-influenza isolates. The average time to identification by this technique was 4 days compared to 7 days by hemagglutination inhibition. Live cell membrane fluorescence is a simple, rapid, and accurate method for identifying and grouping influenza A viruses.

Newcastle disease virus grown in embryonated eggs was separated and purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation into two distinct type of particles, B and T, the former being normal virus particles with high activities of hemagglutination, hemolysis, neuraminidase and infectivity, the latter being non-infectious virus particles with low activities of hemolysis and neuraminidase but high hemagglutination activity. B and T particles were shown to share a common antigen by immunodiffusion test. T particles were deficient in viral RNA, since they contained only 13s RNA in a small amount, whereas B particles possessed a large amount of 57s RNA and a small amount of 13s RNA. T particles interfered with the multiplication of normal Newcastle disease virus in primary cultures of chick embryo cells.

Abstract
The intracellular development of membrane protein (MP) of influenza A virus was investigated by immunofluorescent staining. Monospecific antiserum was prepared by immunizing rabbits with MP eluted from SDS-polyacrylamide gels of SDS-disrupted NWS virions. In the productive infection in clone 1-5C-4 cells, MP antigen was first detected over the whole cell at 4 hr after infection, concomitantly with the appearance of hemagglutinin (HA) antigen in the cytoplasm, and bright nuclear fluorescence was then observed. Nucleoprotein (NP) antigen was detected in the nucleus prior to the appearance of fluorescence of MP antigen and thereafter the cytoplasmic fluorescence developed. Late in infection, all of these three antigens were observed predominantly in the cytoplasm with stronger fluorescence at the cell surface. Essentially similar findings were obtained in the abortive infections in L cells and BHK cells. The above results suggest that the membrane protein of influenza A virus is present in the nucleus as well as in the cytoplasm of infected cells.

Abstract
Surface antigens of HeLaHVJ cells, a cell line persistently infected with HVJ, were studied by fluorescent antibody staining. After absorption with concentrated HVJ virions and HeLa cells, anti-HeLaHVJ antiserum was able to demonstrate specific surface fluorescence on HeLaHVJ cells, while this serum no longer reacted with original HeLa cells nor with HVJ virions. During cytolytic infection of HeLa cells with HVJ, this specific surface antigen appeared at an early stage of infection prior to the appearance of newly synthesized HVJ viral antigens and moreover appeared in spite of the inhibition of viral protein synthesis. This antigen was detected neither on HeLa cells infected with other myxoviruses except HVJ nor on various other kinds of cells infected with HVJ. The specific surface antigen was still found on the HeLaHVJ cell surface after incubation at 38 degrees C for two days, while HVJ structural antigens on the cell surface no longer could be detected. Mild short-term treatment of HeLa cells with trypsin, neuraminidase from vibrio cholerae, phospholipase-C and hyaluronidase failed to expose specific antigen. The antigen was distinguishable from the Forssman and human blood type antigens. The mechanism of appearance of a new antigen on the surface of HeLaHVJ cells remains unclear.

Abstract
Smooth membrane fractions were prepared from the cytoplasmic extract of BHK-21 cells infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV). These membranes exhibited high hemagglutinating, neuraminidase, and hemolytic activity but little infectivity, suggesting that they might be precursors for viral envelope. When such membranes were adsorbed to the monolayers of uninfected BHK-21 cells at 4 degrees C and then incubated at elevated temperature for a couple of hours, the cells became highly hemadsorptive even in the presence of cycloheximide. This phenomenon occurred between 15 degrees C and 25 degrees C, and was maximal at 31 degrees C, where approximately 4 times more erythrocytes were adsorbed than to the cells incubated at 4 degrees C. Immunofluorescent staining suggested that diffusion of viral antigens might occurred rapidly over the entire surface of the cells. Cell fractions containing virions induced hemadsorption in uninfected cells, too. However, induction occurred now at 31 degrees C and was maximal at 37 degrees C, and erythrocytes appeared to be adsorbed not to the entire surface of the monolayer but restricted areas of the cells. The diffusion of viral antigens on the cell surface was not so significant under these conditions. On the basis of these findings the possible role of the membranes of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in virus replication is discussed.

Abstract
BHK-HVJ cells, a cell line of baby hamster kidney cells persistantly infected with HVJ (Sendai virus), started to produce infectious virus by shifting down the incubation temperature from 38 to 32 C. The virus derived from BHK-HVJ cells, designated as HJV-pB, was effectively neutralized with antibody against wild-type virus (HVJ-W) which was used for the establishment of BHK-HVJ cells. HVJ-pB replicated in eggs at 32 C, but not at 38 C, while HVJ-W grew equally well at both temperatures. When BHK cells infected with HVJ-PB were incubated at 38 C, production of infectious virus, hemagglutinin, and neuraminidase was markedly restrained, whereas a considerable amount of viral nucleocapisid and envelope antigens was detected in the cells by complement fixation tests. These viral activities became detectable immediately after temperature shift-down from 38 to 32 C even at the later stage of infection. HVJ-pB was indistinguishable from HJV-W with respect to particle size, density, and morphological characteristics, but appeared to possess a higher neuraminidase activity and was inactivated more rapidly at 50 C than HVJ-W. HVJ-pB was less cytocidal and could easily cause latent infection in BHK and mouse L cells.

Abstract
Nuclei purified from chicken embryo fibroblast cells infected with influenza (fowl plague) virus contain an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The in vitro activity of this enzyme is insensitive to actinomycin D, and is completely destroyed by preincubation with ribonuclease. Enzyme induction is prevented if cells are treated with actinomycin D or cycloheximide at the time of infection. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity increases rapidly in cell nuclei from 1 h postinfection, reaches a maximum at 3 to 4 h, then declines; a similar RNA polymerase activity in the microsomal cell fraction increases from 2 h postinfection and reaches a maximum at 5 to 6 h. The characteristics of the nuclear and microsomal enzymes in vitro are similar with respect to pH and divalent cation requirements. The in vitro products of enzyme activity present in the nuclear and microsomal fractions of cells infected for 3 and 5 h were characterized by sucrose density gradient analysis, and annealing to virion RNA. The microsomal RNA polymerase product contained 67 and 93% RNA complementary to virion RNA at 3 and 5 h, respectively; for the nuclear RNA polymerase product these values were 40% in each case.

Abstract
Differential effect of various metabolic inhibitors on the development of hemadsorption activity and virus formation in cells infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was investigated. It was found that, in BHK-21 cells infected with NDV, cycloheximide did not prevent the development of hemadsorption activity, whereas protein synthesis and virus formation by the cell were rapidly inhibited by the drug. When the drug was added to the culture at 4.5 h after infection or later, hemadsorption activity of the cell continued to develop normally for about 1 h. Similar increase in hemadsorption activity was found in cells which were treated with anti-NDV serum (to neutralize their hemadsorption activity) and then washed and incubated with cycloheximide. However, when cells were treated with the drug early in the infection (1.5 or 3.0 h), they did not show any detectable hemadsorption reaction throughout the infection. In contrast to cycloheximide, iodoacetate added to the culture together with sodium azide inhibited completely both the development of hemadsorption activity and the formation of progeny virus. These results suggest that the change of cell surface to become hemadsorptive may depend upon the energy generating system but not upon de novo synthesis of protein, whereas production of infectious virus may require continuous synthesis of protein.

Abstract
The effect of ouabain (g-strophanthin), a cardiac glycoside, on the growth of several enveloped viruses was examined. It was found that the growth of HVJ (Sendai virus) in chick embryo cells was markedly inhibited by the drug at a concentration as low as 5 x 10(-5)m. A virus-inhibitory concentration of ouabain did not cause morphological changes in uninfected cells, nor did it have the capacity to inactivate virus infectivity. Ouabain interfered with the intracellular synthesis of viral macromolecules. Although viral ribonucleic acid and viral antigens were synthesized by the ouabain-treated cells, the rate of synthesis was slower, and the total amounts of these macromolecules were smaller than those in the untreated control cells. It is suggested that ouabain inhibits the function of membrane-bound Na, K-adenosine triphosphatase of the chick embryo cells and thus prevents accumulation of K ion in them. Accumulation of intracellular K ion to a certain level would be needed for events of exponential growth of virus to proceed, and ouabain might inhibit this step by preventing such accumulation of K ion. This view was supported by the finding that the concentration of K ion in the HVJ-infected cells was rapidly reduced by the treatment with ouabain, and that, when the ouabain-treated culture was shifted to a medium containing a higher concentration of K ion than normal medium, virus production started in parallel with the increase of intracellular K ion. The fact that the concentration of K ion in BHK-21 cells, which support virus growth in the presence of ouabain, is not reduced by the treatment with the drug also suggested this possibility.

Abstract
When purified hemagglutinating virus of Japan (HVJ) was treated with trypsin, two major surface antigens were released from the virus. The "hemagglutinin" subunits obtained by this method were reactive with homologous hemagglutination-inhibition antibody and could be detected by an antibody-blocking test. They adsorbed to but did not agglutinate red cells and thus appeared to be "monovalent." The neuraminidase subunits were obtained in fully active form and did not adsorb to red cells. This finding suggests that these two activities of HVJ are associated with different subunits of the virus particle. The hemagglutinin and neuraminidase subunits could be partially separated by zonal rate centrifugation or gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The molecular weights estimated for these subunits were approximately 124,000 and 114,000, respectively. After treatment with trypsin, virus-associated hemagglutinin and neuraminidase activities were both reduced significantly. The electron micrographs of such trypsinized virus particles showed complete or partial loss of surface projections. These results suggested that the subunits obtained by this method seemed to be those projections liberated from the virus by the action of trypsin.
