Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0365823. [PMID: 38323828 PMCID: PMC10913732 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03658-23] [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: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
The internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element constitutes a cis-acting RNA regulatory sequence that recruits the ribosomal initiation complex in a cap-independent manner, assisted by various RNA-binding proteins and IRES trans-acting factors. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) contains a functional IRES element and takes advantage of this element to subvert host translation machinery. Our study identified a novel mechanism wherein RALY, a member of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNP) family belonging to RNA-binding proteins, binds to the domain 3 of FMDV IRES via its RNA recognition motif residue. This interaction results in the downregulation of FMDV replication by inhibiting IRES-driven translation. Furthermore, our findings reveal that the inhibitory effect exerted by RALY on FMDV replication is not attributed to the FMDV IRES-mediated assembly of translation initiation complexes but rather to the impediment of 80S ribosome complex formation after binding with 40S ribosomes. Conversely, 3Cpro of FMDV counteracts RALY-mediated inhibition by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Therefore, these results indicate that RALY, as a novel critical IRES-binding protein, inhibits FMDV replication by blocking the formation of 80S ribosome, providing a deeper understanding of how viruses recruit and manipulate host factors. IMPORTANCE The translation of FMDV genomic RNA driven by IRES element is a crucial step for virus infections. Many host proteins are hijacked to regulate FMDV IRES-dependent translation, but the regulatory mechanism remains unknown. Here, we report for the first time that cellular RALY specifically interacts with the IRES of FMDV and negatively regulates viral replication by blocking 80S ribosome assembly on FMDV IRES. Conversely, RALY-mediated inhibition is antagonized by the viral 3C protease by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. These results would facilitate further understanding of virus-host interactions and translational control during viral infection.

J Virol 2023; 97:e0018123. [PMID: 37565750 PMCID: PMC10506468 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00181-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Vacuolar protein sorting 28 (Vps28), a component of the ESCRT-I (endosomal sorting complex required for transport I), plays an important role in the pathogen life cycle. Here, we investigated the reciprocal regulation between Vps28 and the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Overexpression of Vps28 decreased FMDV replication. On the contrary, the knockdown of Vps28 increased viral replication. Subsequently, the mechanistic study showed that Vps28 destabilized the replication complex (RC) by associating with 3A rather than 2C protein. In addition, Vps28 targeted FMDV VP0, VP1, and VP3 for degradation to inhibit viral replication. To counteract this, FMDV utilized tactics to restrict Vps28 to promote viral replication. FMDV degraded Vps28 mainly through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Additional data demonstrated that 2B and 3A proteins recruited E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif-containing protein 21 to degrade Vps28 at Lys58 and Lys25, respectively, and FMDV 3Cpro degraded Vps28 through autophagy and its protease activity. Meantime, the 3Cpro-mediated Vps28 degradation principally alleviated the ability to inhibit viral propagation. Intriguingly, we also demonstrated that the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of Vps28 were responsible for the suppression of FMDV replication, which suggested the elaborated counteraction between FMDV and Vps28. Collectively, our results first investigate the role of ESCRTs in host defense against picornavirus and unveil underlying strategies utilized by FMDV to evade degradation machinery for triumphant propagation. IMPORTANCE ESCRT machinery plays positive roles in virus entry, replication, and budding. However, little has been reported on its negative regulation effects during viral infection. Here, we uncovered the novel roles of ESCRT-I subunit Vps28 on FMDV replication. The data indicated that Vps28 destabilized the RC and impaired viral structural proteins VP0, VP1, and VP3 to inhibit viral replication. To counteract this, FMDV hijacked intracellular protein degradation pathways to downregulate Vps28 expression and thus promoted viral replication. Our findings provide insights into how ESCRT regulates pathogen life cycles and elucidate additional information regarding FMDV counteraction of host antiviral activity.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus degrades DDX10 via SQSTM1/p62-dependent selective autophagy to antagonize its antiviral activity. Autophagy 2023; 19:2257-2274. [PMID: 36779599 PMCID: PMC10351467 DOI: 10.1080/15548627.2023.2179844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a typical immunosuppressive virus devastating the global swine industry. DEAD-box helicases (DDXs) are a family of ATP-dependent RNA helicases that are predominantly implicated in modulating cellular RNA metabolism. Meanwhile, a growing number of studies have suggested that some DDXs are associated with innate immunity and virus infection, so they are considered potential antiviral targets. Herein, we screened 40 DDXs and found that ectopic expression of DDX10 exhibited a significant anti-PRRSV effect, while DDX10 knockdown promoted PRRSV proliferation. Further analysis revealed that DDX10 positively regulates type I interferon production, which may contribute to its anti-PRRSV effect. Interestingly, PRRSV infection promoted DDX10 translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for macroautophagic/autophagic degradation to block the antiviral effect of DDX10. By screening PRRSV-encoded proteins, we found that the viral envelope (E) protein interacted with DDX10. In line with the autophagic degradation of DDX10 during PRRSV infection, E protein could induce autophagy and reduce DDX10 expression in wild-type cells, but not in ATG5 or ATG7 knockout (KO) cells. When further screening the cargo receptors for autophagic degradation, we found that SQSTM1/p62 (sequestosome 1) interacted with both DDX10 and E protein, and E protein-mediated DDX10 degradation was almost entirely blocked in SQSTM1 KO cells, demonstrating that E protein degrades DDX10 by promoting SQSTM1-mediated selective autophagy. Our study reveals a novel mechanism by which PRRSV escapes host antiviral innate immunity through selective autophagy, providing a new target for developing anti-PRRSV drugs.Abbreviations: ACTB: actin beta; ATG: autophagy related; co-IP: co-immunoprecipitation; CQ: chloroquine; DDX10: DEAD-box helicase 10; E: envelope; EGFP: enhanced green fluorescent protein; hpi: hours post infection; hpt: hours post transfection; IFA: indirect immunofluorescence assay; IFN-I: type I IFN; IFNB/IFN-β: interferon beta; IRF3: interferon regulatory factor 3; ISGs: interferon-stimulated genes; KO: knockout; MAP1LC3B/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; mAb: monoclonal antibody; MOI: multiplicity of infection; NBR1: NBR1 autophagy cargo receptor; NFKB/NF-κB: nuclear factor kappa B; OPTN: optineurin; ORF: open reading frame; PRRSV: porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus; SeV: sendai virus; siRNA: small interfering RNA; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; TCID50: 50% tissue culture infective dose; WT: wild type.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an acute, highly contagious disease of cloven-hoofed animals caused by FMD virus (FMDV). Currently, the molecular pathogenesis of FMDV infection remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that FMDV infection induced gasdermin E (GSDME)-mediated pyroptosis independent of caspase-3 activity. Further studies showed that FMDV 3Cpro cleaved porcine GSDME (pGSDME) at the Q271-G272 junction adjacent to the cleavage site (D268-A269) of porcine caspase-3 (pCASP3). The inhibition of enzyme activity of 3Cpro failed to cleave pGSDME and induce pyroptosis. Furthermore, overexpression of pCASP3 or 3Cpro-mediated cleavage fragment pGSDME-NT was sufficient to induce pyroptosis. Moreover, the knockdown of GSDME attenuated the pyroptosis caused by FMDV infection. Our study reveals a novel mechanism of pyroptosis induced by FMDV infection and might provide new insights into the pathogenesis of FMDV and the design of antiviral drugs. IMPORTANCE Although FMDV is an important virulent infectious disease virus, few reports have addressed its relationship with pyroptosis or pyroptosis factors, and most studies focus on the immune escape mechanism of FMDV. GSDME (DFNA5) was initially identified as being associated with deafness disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that GSDME is a key executioner for pyroptosis. Here, we first demonstrate that pGSDME is a novel cleavage substrate of FMDV 3Cpro and can induce pyroptosis. Thus, this study reveals a previously unrecognized novel mechanism of pyroptosis induced by FMDV infection and might provide new insights into the design of anti-FMDV therapies and the mechanisms of pyroptosis induced by other picornavirus infections.

Abstract
Mammalian DDX23 is involved in multiple biological processes, such as RNA processing and antiviral responses. However, the function of teleost DDX23 still remains unclear. In this paper, we have cloned the DDX23 homologue of black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) (bcDDX23) and elucidated its role in the antiviral innate immunity. The coding region of bcDDX23 comprises 2427 nucleotides and encodes 809 amino acids. The transcription of bcDDX23 was promoted by the stimulation of LPS, poly(I:C), and SVCV; and immunoblotting (IB) assay showed that bcDDX23 migrated aground 94.5 kDa. Immunofluorescence (IF) assay revealed that bcDDX23 was mainly distributed in the nucleus, and the amount of cytosolic bcDDX23 was significantly increased after SVCV infection. The reporter assay showed that bcDDX23 inhibited bcMAVS-mediated transcription of the IFN promoter. And the co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays identified the interaction between bcDDX23 and bcMAVS. Furthermore, co-expressed bcDDX23 significantly inhibited bcMAVS-mediated antiviral ability against SVCV in EPC cells, and knockdown of bcDDX23 enhanced the resistance of host cells against SVCV. Overall, our results conclude that bcDDX23 targets bcMAVS and suppresses MAVS-mediated IFN signaling, which sheds light on the regulation of IFN signaling in teleost fish.

Abstract
Viruses lack the properties to replicate independently due to the limited resources encoded in their genome; therefore, they hijack the host cell machinery to replicate and survive. Picornaviruses get the prerequisite for effective protein synthesis through specific sequences known as internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs). In the past 2 decades, significant progress has been made in identifying different types of IRESs in picornaviruses. This review will discuss the past and current findings related to the five different types of IRESs and various internal ribosome entry site trans-acting factors (ITAFs) that either promote or suppress picornavirus translation and replication. Some IRESs are inefficient and thus require ITAFs. To achieve their full efficiency, they recruit various ITAFs, which enable them to translate more effectively and efficiently, except type IV IRES, which does not require any ITAFs. Although there are two kinds of ITAFs, one promotes viral IRES-dependent translation, and the second type restricts. Picornaviruses IRESs are classified into five types based on their use of sequence, ITAFs, and initiation factors. Some ITAFs regulate IRES activity by localizing to the viral replication factories in the cytoplasm. Also, some drugs, chemicals, and herbal extracts also regulate viral IRES-dependent translation and replication. Altogether, this review will elaborate on our understanding of the past and recent advancements in the IRES-dependent translation and replication of picornaviruses. IMPORTANCE The family Picornaviridae is divided into 68 genera and 158 species. The viruses belonging to this family range from public health importance, such as poliovirus, enterovirus A71, and hepatitis A virus, to animal viruses of great economic importance, such as foot-and-mouth disease virus. The genomes of picornaviruses contain 5' untranslated regions (5' UTRs), which possess crucial and highly structured stem-loops known as IRESs. IRES assemble the ribosomes and facilitate the cap-independent translation. Virus-host interaction is a hot spot for researchers, which warrants deep insight into understanding viral pathogenesis better and discovering new tools and ways for viral restriction to improve human and animal health. The cap-independent translation in the majority of picornaviruses is modulated by ITAFs, which bind to various IRES regions to initiate the translation. The discoveries of ITAFs substantially contributed to understanding viral replication behavior and enhanced our knowledge about virus-host interaction more effectively than ever before. This review discussed the various types of IRESs found in Picornaviridae, past and present discoveries regarding ITAFs, and their mechanism of action. The herbal extracts, drugs, and chemicals, which indicated their importance in controlling viruses, were also summarized. In addition, we discussed the movement of ITAFs from the nucleus to viral replication factories. We believe this review will stimulate researchers to search for more novel ITAFs, drugs, herbal extracts, and chemicals, enhancing the understanding of virus-host interaction.

Abstract
The scientific community has been alarmed by the possible immunological evasion, higher infectivity, and severity of disease caused by the newest variants of SARS-CoV-2. The spike protein has an important role in the cellular invasion of viruses and is the target of several vaccines and therapeutic resources, such as monoclonal antibodies. In addition, some of the most relevant mutations in the different variants are on the spike (S) protein gene sequence that leads to structural alterations in the predicted protein, thus causing concern about the protection mediated by vaccines against these new strains. The present review highlights the most recent knowledge about COVID-19 and vaccines, emphasizing the different spike protein structures of SARS-CoV-2 and updating the reader about the emerging viral variants and their classifications, the more common viral mutations described and their distribution in Brazil. It also compiles a table with the most recent knowledge about all of the Omicron spike mutations.

Abstract
Senecavirus A (SVA), also known as Seneca Valley virus, is a recently discovered picornavirus that can cause swine vesicular disease, posing a great threat to the global swine industry. It can replicate efficiently in cells, but the molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. This study determined the host’s differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) during SVA infection using dimethyl labeling based on quantitative proteomics. Among the DE proteins, DDX21, a member of the DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp)-box RNA helicase (DDX) family, was downregulated and demonstrated inhibiting SVA replication by overexpression and knockdown experiment. To antagonize this antiviral effect of DDX21, SVA infection induces the degradation of DDX21 by 2B and 3C proteins. The Co-IP results showed that 2B and 3C did not interact with DDX21, suggesting that the degradation of DDX21 did not depend on their interaction. Moreover, the 3C protein protease activity was necessary for the degradation of DDX21. Furthermore, our study revealed that the degradation of DDX21 by 2B and 3C proteins of SVA was achieved through the caspase pathway. These findings suggest that DDX21 was an effective antiviral factor for suppressing SVA infection and that SVA antagonized its antiviral effect by degrading DDX21, which will be useful to guide further studies into the mechanism of mutual regulation between SVA and the host.

Artemisinin inhibits neutrophil and macrophage chemotaxis, cytokine production and NET release. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11078. [PMID: 35773325 PMCID: PMC9245885 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-15214-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Immune cell chemotaxis to the sites of pathogen invasion is critical for fighting infection, but in life-threatening conditions such as sepsis and Covid-19, excess activation of the innate immune system is thought to cause a damaging invasion of immune cells into tissues and a consequent excessive release of cytokines, chemokines and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). In these circumstances, tempering excessive activation of the innate immune system may, paradoxically, promote recovery. Here we identify the antimalarial compound artemisinin as a potent and selective inhibitor of neutrophil and macrophage chemotaxis induced by a range of chemotactic agents. Artemisinin released calcium from intracellular stores in a similar way to thapsigargin, a known inhibitor of the Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase pump (SERCA), but unlike thapsigargin, artemisinin blocks only the SERCA3 isoform. Inhibition of SERCA3 by artemisinin was irreversible and was inhibited by iron chelation, suggesting iron-catalysed alkylation of a specific cysteine residue in SERCA3 as the mechanism by which artemisinin inhibits neutrophil motility. In murine infection models, artemisinin potently suppressed neutrophil invasion into both peritoneum and lung in vivo and inhibited the release of cytokines/chemokines and NETs. This work suggests that artemisinin may have value as a therapy in conditions such as sepsis and Covid-19 in which over-activation of the innate immune system causes tissue injury that can lead to death.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced autophagy is closely associated with viral infection and propagation. However, the intrinsic link between ER stress, autophagy, and viral replication during foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection is not fully elucidated. Our previous studies demonstrated that FMDV infection activated the ER stress-associated UPR of the PERK-eIF2a and ATF6 signaling pathway, whereas the IRE1a signaling was suppressed. We found that the activated-ATF6 pathway participated in FMDV-induced autophagy and FMDV replication, while the IRE1α pathway only affected FMDV replication. Further studies indicated that Sec62 was greatly reduced in the later stages of FMDV infection and blocked the activation of the autophagy-related IRE1α-JNK pathway. Moreover, it was also found that Sec62 promoted IRE1a phosphorylation and negatively regulated FMDV proliferation. Importantly, Sec62 may interact with LC3 to regulate ER stress and autophagy balance and eventually contribute to FMDV clearance via fusing with lysosomes. Altogether, these results suggest that Sec62 is a critical molecule in maintaining and recovering ER homeostasis by activating the IRE1α-JNK pathway and delivering autophagosome into the lysosome, thus providing new insights on FMDV-host interactions and novel antiviral therapies.

Abstract
In cells, the contributions of DEAD-box helicases (DDXs), without which cellular life is impossible, are of utmost importance. The extremely diverse roles of the nucleolar helicase DDX21, ranging from fundamental cellular processes such as cell growth, ribosome biogenesis, protein translation, protein–protein interaction, mediating and sensing transcription, and gene regulation to viral manipulation, drew our attention. We designed this project to study virus–host interactions and viral pathogenesis. A pulldown assay was used to investigate the association between foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) and DDX21. Further insight into the DDX21–FMDV interaction was obtained through dual-luciferase, knockdown, overexpression, qPCR, and confocal microscopy assays. Our results highlight the antagonistic feature of DDX21 against FMDV, as it progressively inhibited FMDV internal ribosome entry site (IRES) -dependent translation through association with FMDV IRES domains 2, 3, and 4. To subvert this host helicase antagonism, FMDV degraded DDX21 through its non-structural proteins 2B, 2C, and 3C protease (3Cpro). Our results suggest that DDX21 is degraded during 2B and 2C overexpression and FMDV infection through the caspase pathway; however, DDX21 is degraded through the lysosomal pathway during 3Cpro overexpression. Further investigation showed that DDX21 enhanced interferon-beta and interleukin-8 production to restrict viral replication. Together, our results demonstrate that DDX21 is a novel FMDV IRES trans-acting factor, which negatively regulates FMDV IRES-dependent translation and replication.
