Cell Rep 2024; 43:114571. [PMID: 39093698 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Rice stripe virus (RSV) establishes infection in the ovaries of its vector insect, Laodelphax striatellus. We demonstrate that RSV infection delays ovarian maturation by inhibiting membrane localization of the vitellogenin receptor (VgR), thereby reducing the vitellogenin (Vg) accumulation essential for egg development. We identify the host protein L. striatellus Rab1 protein (LsRab1), which directly interacts with RSV nucleocapsid protein (NP) within nurse cells. LsRab1 is required for VgR surface localization and ovarian Vg accumulation. RSV inhibits LsRab1 function through two mechanisms: NP binding LsRab1 prevents GTP binding, and NP binding LsRab1-GTP complexes stimulates GTP hydrolysis, forming an inactive LsRab1 form. Through this dual inhibition, RSV infection prevents LsRab1 from facilitating VgR trafficking to the cell membrane, leading to inefficient Vg uptake. The Vg-VgR pathway is present in most oviparous animals, and the mechanisms detailed here provide insights into the vertical transmission of other insect-transmitted viruses of medical and agricultural importance.

Abstract
Macrobrachium rosenbergii Taihu virus (MrTV) is a virulent pathogen that mainly threatens M. rosenbergii larvae. Rab proteins, which are essential for controlling intracellular membrane trafficking, are hijacked by multiple viruses to complete their life cycle. In this paper, we studied the function of M. rosenbergii Rab1A (MrRab1A) in the MrTV infection. Upon MrTV infection, the transcription level of MrRab1A was significantly up-regulated, indicating MrRab1A was a MrTV responsive gene and might be important for MrTV infection. Co-IP and co-localization assays revealed that MrRab1A could directly bind with MrTV and its capsid protein VP3. Moreover, the in vivo neutralization assay demonstrated that pre-incubation of MrTV with recombinant MrRab1A could partially block MrTV infection. These findings indicated that MrRab1A functioned as a virus-binding protein involved in MrTV infection, which shed new light on the mechanism of MrTV infection and provided a potential target for developing anti-MrTV therapies.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) utilizes cellular trafficking pathways to process its structural proteins and move them to the site of assembly. Nevertheless, the exact process of assembly and subcellular trafficking of SARS-CoV-2 proteins remains largely unknown. Here, we have identified and characterized Rab1B as an important host factor for the trafficking and maturation of the spike protein (S) after synthesis at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Using confocal microscopy, we showed that S and Rab1B substantially colocalized in compartments of the early secretory pathway. Co-expression of dominant-negative (DN) Rab1B N121I leads to an aberrant distribution of S into perinuclear spots after ectopic expression and in SARS-CoV-2-infected cells caused by either structural rearrangement of the ERGIC or Golgi or missing interaction between Rab1B and S. Western blot analyses revealed a complete loss of the mature, cleaved S2 subunit in cell lysates and culture supernatants upon co-expression of DN Rab1B N121I. In sum, our studies indicate that Rab1B is an important regulator of trafficking and maturation of SARS-CoV-2 S, which not only improves our understanding of the coronavirus replication cycle but also may have implications for the development of antiviral strategies.

Subcellular Distribution of BALF2 and the Role of Rab1 in the Formation of Epstein-Barr Virus Cytoplasmic Assembly Compartment and Virion Release. Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0436922. [PMID: 36602343 PMCID: PMC9927466 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.04369-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) replicates its genome in the nucleus and undergoes tegumentation and envelopment in the cytoplasm. We are interested in how the single-stranded DNA binding protein BALF2, which executes its function and distributes predominantly in the nucleus, is packaged into the tegument of virions. At the mid-stage of virus replication in epithelial TW01-EBV cells, a small pool of BALF2 colocalizes with tegument protein BBLF1, BGLF4 protein kinase, and the cis-Golgi marker GM130 at the perinuclear viral assembly compartment (AC). A possible nuclear localization signal (NLS) between amino acids 1100 and 1128 (C29), which contains positive charged amino acid 1113RRKRR1117, is able to promote yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-LacZ into the nucleus. In addition, BALF2 interacts with the nucleocapsid-associated protein BVRF1, suggesting that BALF2 may be transported into the cytoplasm with nucleocapsids in a nuclear egress complex (NEC)-dependent manner. A group of proteins involved in intracellular transport were identified to interact with BALF2 in a proteomic analysis. Among them, the small GTPase Rab1A functioning in bi-directional trafficking at the ER-Golgi interface is also a tegument component. In reactivated TW01-EBV cells, BALF2 colocalizes with Rab1A in the cytoplasmic AC. Expression of dominant-negative GFP-Rab1A(N124I) diminished the accumulation of BALF2 in the AC, coupling with attenuation of gp350/220 glycosylation. Virion release was significantly downregulated by expressing dominant-negative GFP-Rab1A(N124I). Overall, the subcellular distribution of BALF2 is regulated through its complex interaction with various proteins. Rab1 activity is required for proper gp350/220 glycosylation and the maturation of EBV. IMPORTANCE Upon EBV lytic reactivation, the virus-encoded DNA replication machinery functions in the nucleus, while the newly synthesized DNA is encapsidated and transported to the cytoplasm for final virus assembly. The single-stranded DNA binding protein BALF2 executing functions within the nucleus was also identified in the tegument layer of mature virions. Here, we studied the functional domain of BALF2 that contributes to the nuclear targeting and used a proteomic approach to identify novel BALF2-interacting cellular proteins that may contribute to virion morphogenesis. The GTPase Rab1, a master regulator of anterograde and retrograde endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi trafficking, colocalizes with BALF2 in the juxtanuclear concave region at the midstage of EBV reactivation. Rab1 activity is required for BALF2 targeting to the cytoplasmic assembly compartment (AC) and for gp350/220 targeting to cis-Golgi for proper glycosylation and virion release. Our study hints that EBV hijacks the bi-directional ER-Golgi trafficking machinery to complete virus assembly.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), an arterivirus from the Nidovirales order, continues to be a threat to the swine industry worldwide causing reproductive failure and respiratory disease in pigs. Previous studies have demonstrated that autophagy plays a positive role in PRRSV replication. However, its mechanism is less clearly understood. Herein, we report first that the protein level of Rab1a, a member of the Ras superfamily of GTPases, is upregulated during PRRSV infection. Subsequently, we demonstrate that Rab1a enhances PRRSV replication through an autophagy pathway as evidenced by knocking down the autophagy-related 7 (ATG7) gene, the key adaptor of autophagy. Importantly, we reveal that Rab1a interacts with ULK1 and promotes ULK1 phosphorylation dependent on its GTP-binding activity. These data indicate that PRRSV utilizes the Rab1a-ULK1 complex to initiate autophagy, which, in turn, benefits viral replication. These findings further highlight the interplay between PRRSV replication and the autophagy pathway, deepening our understanding of PRRSV infection.

Abstract
Understanding the early events in viral biology holds the key to the development of potent preventives. In this study, fluorescent hepatitis C virus pseudoparticles (HCVpp) have been generated where the envelope glycoprotein of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has an EGFP tag. Using these pseudoparticles, entry assays were conducted where their entry was tracked via confocal microscopy. Using this system, fusion of host and viral membranes is predicted to occur within 15 min of HCV entry. Using cells with a knockdown for Rab1a, HCV trafficking was observed to be altered, indicating a role of Rab1a in HCV trafficking. In conclusion, this study reports the generation and use of fluorescent HCVpp which may be used to understand the early events of viral entry. This system may be adapted for the study of other enveloped viruses as well.

Abstract
HIV-1 Nef regulates several cellular functions in an infected cell which results in viral persistence and AIDS pathogenesis. The currently understood molecular mechanism(s) underlying Nef-dependent cellular function(s) are unable to explain how events are coordinately regulated in the host cell. Intracellular membranous trafficking maintains cellular homeostasis and is regulated by Rab GTPases - a member of the Ras superfamily. In the current study, we tried to decipher the role of Nef on the Rab GTPases-dependent complex and vesicular trafficking. Expression profiling of Rabs in Nef-expressing cells showed that Nef differentially regulates the expression of individual Rabs in a cell-specific manner. Further analysis of Rabs in HIV-1NL4-3 or ΔNef infected cells demonstrated that the Nef protein is responsible for variation in Rabs expression. Using a panel of competitive peptide inhibitors against Nef, we identified the critical domain of HIV-1 Nef involved in modulation of Rabs expression. The molecular function of Nef-mediated upregulation of Rab5 and Rab7 and downregulation of Rab11 increased the transport of SERINC5 from the cell surface to the lysosomal compartment. Moreover, the Nef-dependent increase in Rab27 expression assists exosome release. Reversal of Rabs expression using competitive inhibitors against Nef and manipulation of Rabs expression reduced viral release and infectivity of progeny virions. Overall, this study demonstrates that Nef differentially regulates the expression of Rab proteins in HIV-1 infected cells to hijack the host intracellular trafficking, which augments viral replication and HIV-1 pathogenesis.

Abstract
Prototype foamy virus (PFV) is a member of the oldest family of retroviruses and maintains lifelong latent infection in the host. The lifelong latent infection of PFV may be maintained by the restriction factors of viral replication in the host. However, the mechanisms involved in PFV latent infection are poorly understood. Here, we found that TBC1D16, a TBC domain-containing protein, is significantly down-regulated after PFV infection. Tre2/Bub2/Cdc16 (TBC) domain-containing proteins function as Rab GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and are participates in the progression of some diseases and many signaling pathways. However, whether TBC proteins are involved in PFV replication has not been determined. Here, we found that TBC1D16 is a novel antiviral protein that targets Rab5C to suppress PFV replication. Overexpression TBC1D16 inhibited the transcription and expression of Tas and Gag, and silencing TBC1D16 enhanced the PFV replication. Moreover, the highly conserved amino acid residues R494 and Q531 in the TBC domain of TBC1D16 were essential for inhibiting PFV replication. We also found that TBC1D16 promoted the production of PFV-induced IFN-β and the transcription of downstream genes. These results suggest that TBC1D16 might be the first identified TBC proteins that inhibited PFV replication and the mechanism by which TBC1D16 inhibited PFV replication could provide new insights for PFV latency.

Abstract
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest superfamily of cell surface signaling proteins. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their cell surface delivery after synthesis remain poorly understood. Here, we screen the TBC domain-containing proteins, putative Rab GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), in the intracellular trafficking of GPCRs and identify several TBC proteins that activity-dependently regulate the anterograde transport, en route from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi or from the Golgi to the cell surface, of several prototypic GPCR members without affecting other plasma membrane proteins. We also show that TBC1D6 functions as a GAP for Rab26, physically associates with Rab26, and attenuates Rab26 interaction with GPCRs. Furthermore, both overexpression and depletion of TBC1D6 inhibit the post-Golgi traffic of GPCRs. These data demonstrate important roles of the TBC proteins in forward trafficking of nascent GPCRs and reveal regulatory mechanisms of GPCR targeting to the functional destination. Wei et al. report that several TBC proteins specifically and activity-dependently regulate ER-Golgi-plasma membrane transport of nascent GPCRs. They also show that TBC1D6 is a GAP for Rab26 and controls GPCR post-Golgi traffic. Their results reveal crucial roles of TBC proteins in and provide regulatory mechanisms of GPCR trafficking.

Abstract
Viruses are obligate intracellular pathogens that are dependent on cellular machineries for their replication. Recent technological breakthroughs have facilitated reliable identification of host factors required for viral infections and better characterization of the virus-host interplay. While these studies have revealed cellular machineries that are uniquely required by individual viruses, accumulating data also indicate the presence of broadly required mechanisms. Among these overlapping cellular functions are components of intracellular membrane trafficking pathways. Here, we review recent discoveries focused on how viruses exploit intracellular membrane trafficking pathways to promote various stages of their life cycle, with an emphasis on cellular factors that are usurped by a broad range of viruses. We describe broadly required components of the endocytic and secretory pathways, the Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport pathway, and the autophagy pathway. Identification of such overlapping host functions offers new opportunities to develop broad-spectrum host-targeted antiviral strategies.

Abstract
Rab1A belongs to the small Rab GTPase family and is involved in the lifecycle of numerous viruses. Here, knockdown of Rab1A inhibited CSFV growth. Further study revealed that Rab1A depletion decreased intracellular and extracellular CSFV titers, but did not affect intracellular virus genome copies and E2 protein expression within a virus lifecycle, which suggested that Rab1A is required for CSFV particle assembly rather than for genome replication or virion release. This was proofed by blocking the spread of virus using neutralizing antibodies, through which the negative effects of Rab1A knockdown on multi-cycle replication of CSFV were eliminated. Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy assays showed that Rab1A bound to CSFV NS5A protein, indicating that Rab1A and viral NS5A proteins may work cooperatively during CSFV particle assembly. In conclusion, this study demonstrated for the first time that Rab1A is required for CSFV particle assembly and binds to viral particle assembly-related NS5A protein.

RAB1A promotes Vaccinia virus replication by facilitating the production of intracellular enveloped virions. Virology 2014; 475:66-73. [PMID: 25462347 PMCID: PMC4292983 DOI: 10.1016/j.virol.2014.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2014] [Revised: 09/16/2014] [Accepted: 11/05/2014] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Vaccinia virus (VACV) is a large double-stranded DNA virus with a complex cytoplasmic replication cycle that exploits numerous cellular proteins. This work characterises the role of a proviral cellular protein, the small GTPase RAB1A, in VACV replication. Using siRNA, we identified RAB1A as required for the production of extracellular enveloped virions (EEVs), but not intracellular mature virions (IMVs). Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy further refined the role of RAB1A as facilitating the wrapping of IMVs to become intracellular enveloped virions (IEVs). This is consistent with the known function of RAB1A in maintenance of ER to Golgi transport. VACV can therefore be added to the growing list of viruses which require RAB1A for optimal replication, highlighting this protein as a broadly proviral host factor.

Retrovirology 2013; 10:111. [PMID: 24156545 PMCID: PMC3827937 DOI: 10.1186/1742-4690-10-111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2013] [Accepted: 10/14/2013] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In response to viral infections, interferons induce the transcription of several hundred genes in mammalian cells. Specific antiviral functions, however, have only been attributed to a few of them. 90K/LGALS3BP has been reported to be an interferon-stimulated gene that is upregulated in individuals with cancer or HIV-1 infection. RESULTS Here, we show that 90K expression dose-dependently decreased the particle infectivity of HIV-1 progeny. The lower infectivity of released particles correlated with reduced virion incorporation of mature envelope glycoproteins gp120 and gp41. Further, proteolytic processing of the gp160 precursor and surface expression of gp120 in the producer cell were impaired in the presence of 90K expression. In contrast, expression of Gag, Nef and Vpu, and virus release were not grossly affected by 90K expression. 90K-imposed restriction occurred in the absence of direct interaction of 90K with HIV-1 Env or entrapment of Env in the ER. The cell-associated, but not the secreted species of 90K, mediated the antiviral effect. A truncated version of human 90K, solely consisting of the two intermediate domains, displayed a similar antiviral activity as the full-length wildtype 90K, indicating that the N-terminal SRCR-like domain and the C-terminal domain are dispensable for 90K's antiviral activity. The murine homolog of 90K, CypCAP (Cyclophilin C-associated protein), neither modulated particle infectivity of HIV-1 nor lowered the virion incorporation of mature gp120, suggesting a species-specific mode of action. 90K was expressed at basal levels in TZM-bl cells and in primary macrophages, and at low levels in CD4⁺ T-cells and PBMCs. 90K's susceptibility to IFN-mediated stimulation of expression was cell type-specific. siRNA-mediated knockdown of 90K in TZM-bl cells and primary macrophages enhanced the incorporation of Env glycoproteins into progeny virions, boosted the particle infectivity of released HIV-1, and accelerated HIV-1 spread. Conversely, treatment of HIV-1 infected macrophages with IFN-α induced 90K expression and lowered the particle infectivity of HIV-1. CONCLUSIONS Thus, 90K constitutes a novel antiviral factor that reduces the particle infectivity of HIV-1, involving interference with the maturation and incorporation of HIV-1 Env molecules into virions.
