Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133737. [PMID: 38986992 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) mediate the innate immune responses and play a crucial role in host defense against pathogen infections. Apextrin C-terminal (ApeC)-containing proteins (ACPs), a newly discovered class of PRRs specific to invertebrates, recognize pathogens through their ApeC domain as intracellular or extracellular effectors. However, the other immunological functions of ACPs remain unclear. In this study, a membrane-localized ACP receptor was identified in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (denoted as AjACP1). The ApeC domain of AjACP1, which was located outside of its cell membrane, exhibited the capability to recognize and aggregate Vibrio splendidus. AjACP1 was upregulated upon V. splendidus infection, internalizing into the cytoplasm of coelomocytes. AjACP1 overexpression enhanced the phagocytic activity of coelomocytes against V. splendidus, while knockdown of AjACP1 by RNA interfere inhibited coelomocyte endocytosis. Inhibitor experiments indicated that AjACP1 regulated coelomocyte phagocytosis through the actin-dependent endocytic signaling pathway. Further investigation revealed that AjACP1 interacted with the subunit of the actin-related protein 2/3 complex ARPC2, promoting F-actin polymerization and cytoskeletal rearrangement and thereby affecting the coelomocyte phagocytosis of V. splendidus via the actin-dependent endocytic signaling pathway. As a novel membrane PRR, AjACP1 mediates the recognition and phagocytic activity of coelomocytes against V. splendidus through the AjACP1-ARPC2-F-actin polymerization and cytoskeletal rearrangement pathway.

CD4 is an important host factor for Japanese encephalitis virus entry and replication in PK-15 cells. Vet Microbiol 2023; 287:109913.

Abstract
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a flavivirus that is spread through mosquito bites and is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. JEV can infect a variety of cell types; however, crucial receptor molecules remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether porcine CD4 protein is a receptor protein that impacts JEV entry into PK15 cells and subsequent viral replication. We confirmed the interaction between the JEV E protein and the CD4 protein through Co-IP, virus binding and internalization, antibody blocking, and overexpression and created a PK-15 cell line with CD4 gene knockdown by CRISPR/Cas9. The results show that CD4 interacts with JEV E and that CD4 knockdown cells altered virus adsorption and internalization, drastically reducing virus attachment. The level of viral transcription in CD4 antibody-blocked cells, vs. control cells, was decreased by 49.1%. Based on these results, we believe that CD4 is a receptor protein for JEVs. Furthermore, most viral receptors appear to be associated with lipid rafts, and colocalization studies demonstrate the presence of CD4 protein on lipid rafts. RT‒qPCR and WB results show that virus replication was suppressed in PK-15-CD4KD cells. The difference in viral titer between KD and WT PK-15 cells peaked at 24 h, and the viral titer in WT PK-15 cells was 5.6 × 106, whereas in PK-15-CD4KD cells, it was only 1.8 × 106, a 64% drop, demonstrating that CD4 deficiency has an effect on the process of viral replication. These findings suggest that JEV enters porcine kidney cells via lipid raft-colocalized CD4, and the proliferation process is positively correlated with CD4.

Hsp90 Regulates GCRV-II Proliferation by Interacting with VP35 as Its Receptor and Chaperone. J Virol 2022; 96:e0117522.

Abstract
The frequent outbreak of grass carp hemorrhagic disease caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV), especially the mainly prevalent type II GCRV (GCRV-II), has seriously affected the grass carp culture in China. However, its pathogenic mechanism is still far from clear. In this study, the GCRV-II outer capsid protein VP35 was used as bait to capture interacting partners from Ctenopharyngon idellus kidney (CIK) cells, and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) was selected and confirmed interacting with VP35 through the C-terminal domain of Hsp90. Knockdown of Hsp90 or inhibition of Hsp90 activity suppressed GCRV-II proliferation, demonstrating that Hsp90 is an essential factor for GCRV-II proliferation. The confocal microscopy and flow cytometry showed that Hsp90 localized at both membrane and cytoplasm of CIK cells. The entry of GCRV-II into CIK cells was efficiently blocked by incubating the cells with Hsp90 antibody or by pretreating the virus with recombinant Hsp90 protein. Whereas overexpression of Hsp90 in CIK cells, grass carp ovary (GCO) cells, or 293T cells promoted GCRV-II entry, indicating that the membrane Hsp90 functions as a receptor of GCRV-II. Furthermore, Hsp90 interacted with clathrin and mediated GCRV-II entry into CIK cells through clathrin endocytosis pathway. In addition, we found that the cytoplasmic Hsp90 acted as a chaperone of VP35 because inhibition of Hsp90 activity enhanced VP35 polyubiquitination and degraded VP35 through the proteasome pathway. Collectively, our data suggest that Hsp90 functions both as a receptor for GCRV-II entry and a chaperone for the maturation of GCRV-II VP35, thus ensuring efficient proliferation of GCRV-II. IMPORTANCE Identification of viral receptors has always been the research hot spot in virus research field as receptor functions at the first stage of viral infection, which can be designed as efficient antiviral drug targets. GCRV-II, the causative agent of the grass carp epidemic hemorrhagic disease, has caused tremendous losses in grass carp culture in China. To date, the receptor of GCRV-II remains unknown. This study focused on identifying cellular receptor interacting with the GCRV-II outer capsid protein VP35, studying the effects of their interaction on GCRV-II proliferation, and revealing the underlying mechanisms. We demonstrated that Hsp90 acts both as a receptor of GCRV-II by interacting with VP35 and as a chaperone for the maturation of VP35, thus ensuring efficient proliferation of GCRV-II. Our data provide important insights into the role of Hsp90 in GCRV-II life cycle, which will help understand the mechanism of reovirus infection.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a kind of proteins which mostly found in bacterial, plant and animal cells, in which they are involved in the monitoring and regulation of cellular life activities. HSPs protect other proteins under environmental and cellular stress by regulating protein folding and supporting the correctly folded structure of proteins as chaperones. During viral infection, some HSPs can have an antiviral effect by inhibiting viral proliferation through interaction and activating immune pathways to protect the host cell. However, although the biological function of HSPs is to maintain the homeostasis of cells, some HSPs will also be hijacked by viruses to help their invasion, replication, and maturation, thereby increasing the chances of viral survival in unfavorable conditions inside the host cell. In this review, we summarize the roles of the heat shock protein family in various stages of viral infection and the potential uses of these proteins in antiviral therapy.

Abstract
Flaviviruses are enveloped viruses that infect multiple hosts. Envelope proteins are the outermost proteins in the structure of flaviviruses and mediate viral infection. Studies indicate that flaviviruses mainly use envelope proteins to bind to cell attachment receptors and endocytic receptors for the entry step. Here, we present current findings regarding key envelope protein amino acids that participate in the flavivirus early infection process. Among these sites, most are located in special positions of the protein structure, such as the α-helix in the stem region and the hinge region between domains I and II, motifs that potentially affect the interaction between different domains. Some of these sites are located in positions involved in conformational changes in envelope proteins. In summary, we summarize and discuss the key envelope protein residues that affect the entry process of flaviviruses, including the process of their discovery and the mechanisms that affect early infection.

Abstract
Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) is an acute and serious fish disease caused by nervous necrosis virus (NNV) which has been reported massive mortality in more than fifty teleost species worldwide. VNN causes damage of necrosis and vacuolation to central nervous system (CNS) cells in fish. It is difficult to identify the specific type of cell targeted by NNV, and to decipher the host immune response because of the functional diversity and highly complex anatomical and cellular composition of the CNS. In this study, we found that the red spotted grouper NNV (RGNNV) mainly attacked the midbrain of orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). We conducted single-cell RNA-seq analysis of the midbrain of healthy and RGNNV-infected fish and identified 35 transcriptionally distinct cell subtypes, including 28 neuronal and 7 non-neuronal cell types. An evaluation of the subpopulations of immune cells revealed that macrophages were enriched in RGNNV-infected fish, and the transcriptional profiles of macrophages indicated an acute cytokine and inflammatory response. Unsupervised pseudotime analysis of immune cells showed that microglia transformed into M1-type activated macrophages to produce cytokines to reduce the damage to nerve tissue caused by the virus. We also found that RGNNV targeted neuronal cell types was GLU1 and GLU3, and we found that the key genes and pathways by which causes cell cytoplasmic vacuoles and autophagy significant enrichment, this may be the major route viruses cause cell death. These data provided a comprehensive transcriptional perspective of the grouper midbrain and the basis for further research on how viruses infect the teleost CNS.

How DNA and RNA Viruses Exploit Host Chaperones to Promote Infection. Viruses 2021; 13:v13060958.

Abstract
To initiate infection, a virus enters a host cell typically via receptor-dependent endocytosis. It then penetrates a subcellular membrane, reaching a destination that supports transcription, translation, and replication of the viral genome. These steps lead to assembly and morphogenesis of the new viral progeny. The mature virus finally exits the host cell to begin the next infection cycle. Strikingly, viruses hijack host molecular chaperones to accomplish these distinct entry steps. Here we highlight how DNA viruses, including polyomavirus and the human papillomavirus, exploit soluble and membrane-associated chaperones to enter a cell, penetrating and escaping an intracellular membrane en route for infection. We also describe the mechanism by which RNA viruses—including flavivirus and coronavirus—co-opt cytosolic and organelle-selective chaperones to promote viral endocytosis, protein biosynthesis, replication, and assembly. These examples underscore the importance of host chaperones during virus infection, potentially revealing novel antiviral strategies to combat virus-induced diseases.

Abstract
Autophagy can be utilized by the influenza A virus (IAV) to facilitate its replication. However, whether autophagy is induced at the stage of IAV entry is still unclear. Here, we report that IAV induces autophagy by hemagglutinin (HA) binding to heat shock protein 90AA1 (HSP90AA1) distributed on the cell surface. Virus overlay protein binding assay and pull-down assay indicated that IAV HA bound directly to cell surface HSP90AA1. Knockdown of HSP90AA1 weakened H1N1 infection. Incubation of IAV viral particles with recombinant HSP90AA1 or prior blockade of A549 cells with an anti-HSP90AA1 antibody could inhibit attachment of IAV. Moreover, we found that recombinant HA1 protein binding to cell surface HSP90AA1 was sufficient to induce autophagy through the AKT-MTOR pathway. Our study reveals that the HSP90AA1 on cell surface participates in IAV entry by directing binding to the HA1 subunit of IAV and subsequently induces autophagy.

Abstract
Cancer is a major health problem that poses a great challenge to health care systems worldwide. Tools for cancer treatment have rapidly advanced in recent years, resulting in therapeutic strategies which are alternative and complementary to conventional treatment. To identify the cell surface receptors used by a tumor cell-adapted rotavirus and the cell death markers induced by its infection, we use Wt1-5, a rotavirus isolate recently adapted to tumor cells, to infect the human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, Reh. The expression of cell surface receptors used by Wt1-5 was determined using flow cytometry and an antibody blocking assay to test for their implication in virus infection. Viral antigens and cell death markers induced by rotavirus infection were followed by flow cytometric analysis. The present study showed that rotavirus Wt1-5 was able to use cell surface proteins such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) 90, 70, 60 and 40, Hsc70, PDI and integrin β3. Rotavirus Wt1-5 induced cytotoxic effects including changes in cell membrane permeability, alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential, DNA fragmentation and activation of cell death signaling. Wt1-5 deserves to be further studied as a candidate oncolytic agent due to its ability to induce apoptosis in lymphoblastic leukemia-derived cells.

Abstract
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) can infect many species of fish and causes serious acute or persistent infection. However, its pathogenic mechanism is still far from clear. Specific cellular surface receptors are crucial determinants of the species tropism of a virus and its pathogenesis. Here, the heat shock protein 90ab1 of marine model fish species marine medaka (MmHSP90ab1) was identified as a novel receptor of red-spotted grouper NNV (RGNNV). MmHSP90ab1 interacted directly with RGNNV capsid protein (CP). Specifically, MmHSP90ab1 bound to the linker region (LR) of CP through its NM domain. Inhibition of MmHSP90ab1 by HSP90-specific inhibitors or MmHSP90ab1 siRNA caused significant inhibition of viral binding and entry, whereas its overexpression led to the opposite effect. The binding of RGNNV to cultured marine medaka hMMES1 cells was inhibited by blocking cell surface-localized MmHSP90ab1 with anti-HSP90β antibodies or pretreating virus with recombinant MmHSP90ab1 or MmHSP90ab1-NM protein, indicating MmHSP90ab1 was an attachment receptor for RGNNV. Furthermore, we found that MmHSP90ab1 formed a complex with CP and marine medaka heat shock cognate 70, a known NNV receptor. Exogenous expression of MmHSP90ab1 independently facilitated the internalization of RGNNV into RGNNV impenetrable cells (HEK293T), which was blocked by chlorpromazine, an inhibitor of clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Further study revealed that MmHSP90ab1 interacted with the marine medaka clathrin heavy chain. Collectively, these data suggest that MmHSP90ab1 is a functional part of the RGNNV receptor complex and involved in the internalization of RGNNV via the clathrin endocytosis pathway.

Abstract
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne Flavivirus, the leading cause of viral-induced encephalitis. Several host molecules have been identified as the JEV attachment factor; however, the molecules involved in JEV entry remain poorly understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that TIM-1 is important for efficient infection by JEV. Firstly, three TIM-1 variants (V1, V2, and V3) were cloned from A549 cells, and we revealed that only ectopically TIM-1 V2 expression in 293T cells significantly promotes JEV attachment, entry and infection. Point mutation of phosphatidylserine (Ptdser) binding pocket in the TIM-1 IgV domain dampened JEV entry, indicating that TIM-1-mediated JEV infection is Ptdser-dependent. Furthermore, we found the cytoplasmic domain of TIM-1 is also required for enhancing JEV entry. Additionally, knock down of TIM-1 expression in A549 cells impaired JEV entry and infection, but not attachment, suggesting that additional factors exist in A549 cells that allow the virus to bind. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that TIM-1 promotes JEV infection as an entry cofactor, and the polymorphism of TIM-1 is associated with JEV susceptibility to host cells.

Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) has re-emerged as one of the many medically important arboviruses that have spread rampantly across the world in the past decade. Infected patients come down with acute fever and rashes, and a portion of them suffer from both acute and chronic arthralgia. Currently, there are no targeted therapeutics against this debilitating virus. One approach to develop potential therapeutics is by understanding the viral-host interactions. However, to date, there has been limited research undertaken in this area. In this review, we attempt to briefly describe and update the functions of the different CHIKV proteins and their respective interacting host partners. In addition, we also survey the literature for other reported host factors and pathways involved during CHIKV infection. There is a pressing need for an in-depth understanding of the interaction between the host environment and CHIKV in order to generate potential therapeutics.
