MICROPUBLICATION BIOLOGY 2024; 2024:10.17912/micropub.biology.001171. [PMID: 38817634 PMCID: PMC11137619 DOI: 10.17912/micropub.biology.001171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Proteomic analysis of viral and cellular proteins that copurify with the herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) genome revealed that the cellular Integrator complex associates with viral DNA throughout infection. The Integrator complex plays a key role in the regulation of transcription of cellular coding and non-coding RNAs. We therefore predicted that it may regulate transcription of viral genes. Here, we demonstrate that knockdown of the Integrator complex subunit, Ints3, has minimal effect on HSV-1 infection. Despite reducing viral yield during low multiplicity infection, Ints3 knockdown had no effect on viral DNA replication, mRNA expression, or yield during high multiplicity infection.

Front Microbiol 2022; 13:856471. [PMID: 35516420 PMCID: PMC9062659 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.856471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) can productively infect multiple cell types and establish latent infection in neurons. Infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) is an HSV-1 E3 ubiquitin ligase crucial for productive infection and reactivation from latency. However, our knowledge about its targets especially in neuronal cells is limited. We confirmed that, like in non-neuronal cells, ICP0-null virus exhibited major replication defects in primary mouse neurons and Neuro-2a cells. We identified many ICP0-interacting proteins in Neuro-2a cells, 293T cells, and human foreskin fibroblasts by mass spectrometry-based interactome analysis. Co-immunoprecipitation assays validated ICP0 interactions with acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8 (ACOT8), complement C1q binding protein (C1QBP), ovarian tumour domain-containing protein 4 (OTUD4), sorting nexin 9 (SNX9), and vimentin (VIM) in both Neuro-2a and 293T cells. Overexpression and knockdown experiments showed that SNX9 restricted replication of an ICP0-null but not wild-type virus in Neuro-2a cells. Ubiquitinome analysis by immunoprecipitating the trypsin-digested ubiquitin reminant followed by mass spectrometry identified numerous candidate ubiquitination substrates of ICP0 in infected Neuro-2a cells, among which OTUD4 and VIM were novel substrates confirmed to be ubiquitinated by transfected ICP0 in Neuro-2a cells despite no evidence of their degradation by ICP0. Expression of OTUD4 was induced independently of ICP0 during HSV-1 infection. Overexpressed OTUD4 enhanced type I interferon expression during infection with the ICP0-null but not wild-type virus. In summary, by combining two proteomic approaches followed by confirmatory and functional experiments, we identified and validated multiple novel targets of ICP0 and revealed potential restrictive activities of SNX9 and OTUD4 in neuronal cells.

Abstract
Upon entry of Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) into the host cell, the viral genome is transported to the nucleus where it serves as a template for transcription and genome replication. Production of new viral genomes is a coordinated effort between viral and cellular proteins. While the core replication proteins are encoded by the virus, additional cellular proteins support the process of genome synthesis. We used accelerated native isolation of proteins on nascent DNA (aniPOND) to study protein dynamics on nascent viral DNA during HCMV infection. Using this method, we identified specific viral and cellular proteins that are associated with nascent viral DNA. These included transcription factors, transcriptional regulators, DNA damage and repair factors, and chromatin remodeling complexes. The association of these identified proteins with viral DNA was confirmed by immunofluorescent imaging, chromatin-immunoprecipitation analyses, and shRNA knockdown experiments. These data provide evidence for the requirement of cellular factors involved in HCMV replication.

Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:696234.

Abstract
Promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML NBs) are multi-protein assemblies representing distinct sub-nuclear structures. As phase-separated molecular condensates, PML NBs exhibit liquid droplet-like consistency. A key organizer of the assembly and dynamics of PML NBs is the ubiquitin-like SUMO modification system. SUMO is covalently attached to PML and other core components of PML NBs thereby exhibiting a glue-like function by providing multivalent interactions with proteins containing SUMO interacting motifs (SIMs). PML NBs serve as the catalytic center for nuclear SUMOylation and SUMO-SIM interactions are essential for protein assembly within these structures. Importantly, however, formation of SUMO chains on PML and other PML NB-associated proteins triggers ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation which coincide with disruption of these nuclear condensates. To date, a plethora of nuclear activities such as transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, apoptosis, senescence, cell cycle control, DNA damage response, and DNA replication have been associated with PML NBs. Not surprisingly, therefore, SUMO-dependent PML NB integrity has been implicated in regulating many physiological processes including tumor suppression, metabolism, drug-resistance, development, cellular stemness, and anti-pathogen immune response. The interplay between PML NBs and viral infection is multifaceted. As a part of the cellular antiviral defense strategy, PML NB components are crucial restriction factors for many viruses and a mutual positive correlation has been found to exist between PML NBs and the interferon response. Viruses, in turn, have developed counterstrategies for disarming PML NB associated immune defense measures. On the other end of the spectrum, certain viruses are known to usurp specific PML NB components for successful replication and disruption of these sub-nuclear foci has recently been linked to the stimulation rather than curtailment of antiviral gene repertoire. Importantly, the ability of invading virions to manipulate the host SUMO modification machinery is essential for this interplay between PML NB integrity and viruses. Moreover, compelling evidence is emerging in favor of bacterial pathogens to negotiate with the SUMO system thereby modulating PML NB-directed intrinsic and innate immunity. In the current context, we will present an updated account of the dynamic intricacies between cellular PML NBs as the nuclear SUMO modification hotspots and immune regulatory mechanisms in response to viral and bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
The human papilloma virus (HPV) is responsible for different pathological manifestations in humans. This agent gives rise to lesions of different types and in different areas of the organism, including the oral cavity. The aim of this study is to show which are the main diseases for which HPV is responsible and to bring to light some of the interceptive and therapeutic strategies. The analysis was conducted by consulting the major scientific databases with the aim of obtaining information on the characteristics of oral HPV and its management; furthermore, the literature was supported by some clinical cases proposed by the authors. The role of dentistry is essential in the early diagnosis of this type of pathologies and above all in knowing how to direct patients towards a path that can lead to patient management, especially in the event that these lesions have a malignant potential. Enhancing the knowledge and role of dentistry can lead to early diagnosis of this type of injury, intercepting a pathology that could have multiorgan implications.

The HSV-1 ubiquitin ligase ICP0: Modifying the cellular proteome to promote infection. Virus Res 2020; 285:198015.

Abstract
ICP0 is a viral E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes HSV-1 infection. ICP0 interacts with multiple component proteins of the ubiquitin pathway. ICP0 disrupts multiple cellular processes activated in response to infection ICP0 remodels the SUMO proteome to counteract host immune defences to infection. ICP0 is an attractive drug target for the development of antiviral HSV-1 therapeutics.
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) hijacks ubiquitination machinery to modify the cellular proteome to create an environment permissive for virus replication. HSV-1 encodes its own RING-finger E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase, Infected Cell Protein 0 (ICP0), that directly interfaces with component proteins of the Ub pathway to inactivate host immune defences and cellular processes that restrict the progression of HSV-1 infection. Consequently, ICP0 plays a critical role in the infectious cycle of HSV-1 that is required to promote the efficient onset of lytic infection and productive reactivation of viral genomes from latency. This review will describe the current knowledge regarding the biochemical properties and known substrates of ICP0 during HSV-1 infection. We will highlight the gaps in the characterization of ICP0 function and propose future areas of research required to understand fully the biological properties of this important HSV-1 regulatory protein.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogues are a valuable experimental tool. Incorporation of these molecules into newly synthesized DNA (i.e. pulse-labeling) is used to monitor cell proliferation or to isolate nascent DNA. Some of the most common nucleoside analogues used for pulse-labeling of DNA in cells are the deoxypyrimidine analogues 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxycytidine (EdC). Click chemistry enables conjugation of an azide molecule tagged with a fluorescent dye or biotin to the alkyne of the analog, which can then be used to detect incorporation of EdU and EdC into DNA. The use of EdC is often recommended because of the potential cytotoxicity associated with EdU during longer incubations. Here, by comparing the relative incorporation efficiencies of EdU and EdC during short 30-min pulses, we demonstrate significantly lower incorporation of EdC than of EdU in noninfected human fibroblast cells or in cells infected with either human cytomegalovirus or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. Interestingly, cells infected with herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) incorporated EdC and EdU at similar levels during short pulses. Of note, exogenous expression of HSV-1 thymidine kinase increased the incorporation efficiency of EdC. These results highlight the limitations when using substituted pyrimidine analogues in pulse-labeling and suggest that EdU is the preferable nucleoside analogue for short pulse-labeling experiments, resulting in increased recovery and sensitivity for downstream applications. This is an important discovery that may help to better characterize the biochemical properties of different nucleoside analogues with a given kinase, ultimately leading to significant differences in labeling efficiency of nascent DNA.

Abstract
DNA viruses that replicate in the nucleus encompass a range of ubiquitous and clinically important viruses, from acute pathogens to persistent tumor viruses. These viruses must co-opt nuclear processes for the benefit of the virus, whilst evading host processes that would otherwise attenuate viral replication. Accordingly, DNA viruses induce the formation of membraneless assemblies termed viral replication compartments (VRCs). These compartments facilitate the spatial organization of viral processes and regulate virus–host interactions. Here, we review advances in our understanding of VRCs. We cover their initiation and formation, their function as the sites of viral processes, and aspects of their composition and organization. In doing so, we highlight ongoing and emerging areas of research highly pertinent to our understanding of nuclear-replicating DNA viruses.

Abstract
Adenoviruses represent ubiquitous and clinically significant human pathogens, gene-delivery vectors, and oncolytic agents. The study of adenovirus-infected cells has long been used as an excellent model to investigate fundamental aspects of both DNA virus infection and cellular biology. While many key details supporting a well-established model of adenovirus replication have been elucidated over a period spanning several decades, more recent findings suggest that we have only started to appreciate the complex interplay between viral genome replication and cellular processes. Here, we present a concise overview of adenovirus DNA replication, including the biochemical process of replication, the spatial organization of replication within the host cell nucleus, and insights into the complex plethora of virus-host interactions that influence viral genome replication. Finally, we identify emerging areas of research relating to the replication of adenovirus genomes.

Abstract
Viral DNA genomes have limited coding capacity and therefore harness cellular factors to facilitate replication of their genomes and generate progeny virions. Studies of viruses and how they interact with cellular processes have historically provided seminal insights into basic biology and disease mechanisms. The replicative life cycles of many DNA viruses have been shown to engage components of the host DNA damage and repair machinery. Viruses have evolved numerous strategies to navigate the cellular DNA damage response. By hijacking and manipulating cellular replication and repair processes, DNA viruses can selectively harness or abrogate distinct components of the cellular machinery to complete their life cycles. Here, we highlight consequences for viral replication and host genome integrity during the dynamic interactions between virus and host.

Abstract
Herpesviruses utilize multiple mechanisms to redirect host proteins for use in viral processes and to avoid recognition and repression by the host. To investigate dynamic interactions between herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA and viral and host proteins throughout infection, we developed an approach to identify proteins that associate with the infecting viral genome from nuclear entry through packaging. To accomplish this, virus stocks were prepared in the presence of ethynyl-modified nucleotides to enable covalent tagging of viral genomes after infection for analysis of viral genome-protein interactions by imaging or affinity purification. Affinity purification was combined with stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) mass spectrometry to enable the distinction between proteins that were brought into the cell by the virus or expressed within the infected cell before or during infection. We found that input viral DNA progressed within 6 h through four temporal stages where the genomes sequentially (i) interacted with intrinsic antiviral and DNA damage response proteins, (ii) underwent a robust transcriptional switch mediated largely by ICP4, (iii) engaged in replication, repair, and continued transcription, and then (iv) transitioned to a more transcriptionally inert state engaging de novo-synthesized viral structural components while maintaining interactions with replication proteins. Using a combination of genetic, imaging, and proteomic approaches, we provide a new and temporally compressed view of the HSV-1 life cycle based on input genome-proteome dynamics. Herpesviruses are highly prevalent and ubiquitous human pathogens. Studies of herpesviruses and other viruses have previously been limited by the ability to directly study events that occur on the viral DNA throughout infection. We present a new powerful approach, which allows for the temporal investigation of viral genome-protein interactions at all phases of infection. This work has integrated many results from previous studies with the discovery of novel factors potentially involved in viral infection that may represent new antiviral targets. In addition, the study provides a new view of the HSV-1 life cycle based on genome-proteome dynamics.
