The major defective genome species consisted of repeat units which were 4.9 x 106 in molecular weight and contained a specific deletion within the UL segment. These tsLB2 defective genomes were stable through more than 35 sequential virus passages. The ratios of defective virus genomes to helper virus genomes present in different passages fluctuated in synchrony with the capacity of the passages to interfere with standard virus replication. Cells infected with passages enriched for defective genomes overpro- duced the infected cell polypeptide number 8, which had previously been mapped within the UL sequences present in the tsLB2 defective genomes. In contrast, the synthesis of most other infected cell polypeptides was delayed and reduced. The abundant synthesis of infected cell polypeptide number 8 followed the , regula- tory pattern, as evident from kinetic studies and from experiments in which cycloheximide, canavanine, and phosphonoacetate were used.

During productive lytic infection, over 80 viral proteins are expressed in a highly regulated manner, resulting in the replication of viral genomes and assembly of progeny virions. Cleavage and packaging of replicated, concatemeric viral DNA into newly assembled capsids is critical to virus proliferation and requires seven viral genes: UL6, UL15, UL17, UL25, UL28, UL32, and UL33. Analogy with the well-characterized cleavage and packaging systems of double-stranded DNA bacteriophage suggests that HSV-1 encodes for a viral terminase complex to perform these essential functions, and several studies have indicated that this complex consists of the viral UL15, UL28, and UL33 proteins.

  • An Exploration of the Interplay Between HSV-1 and the Non-Homologous End Joining Proteins PAXX and DNA-Pkcs
    An exploration of the interplay between HSV-1 and the non-homologous end joining proteins PAXX and DNA-PKcs Benjamin James Trigg Gonville and Caius College This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 2. Abstract An exploration of the interplay between HSV-1 and the non-homologous end joining proteins PAXX and DNA-PKcs Benjamin James Trigg Abstract DNA damage response (DDR) pathways are essential in maintaining genomic integrity in cells, but many DDR proteins have other important functions such as in the innate immune sensing of cytoplasmic DNA. Some DDR proteins are known to be beneficial or restrictive to viral infection, but most remain uncharacterised in this respect. Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a mechanism of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) repair that functions to rapidly mend broken DNA ends. The NHEJ machinery is well characterised in the context of DDR but recent studies have linked the same proteins to innate immune DNA sensing and, hence, anti-viral responses. The aim of this thesis is to further investigate the interplay between herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), a dsDNA virus, and two NHEJ proteins, DNA protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA- PKcs) and paralogue of XRCC4 and XLF (PAXX). PAXX was first described in the literature as a NHEJ protein in 2015, but whether it has any role in the regulation of virus infection has not been established. Here we show that PAXX acts as a restriction factor for HSV-1 because PAXX-/- (KO) cells produce a consistently higher titre of HSV-1 than the respective wild type (WT) cells.

  • Multifunctional Viral Protein γ34.5 Manipulates Nucleolar Protein
    Meng et al. Cell Death and Disease (2018) 9:103 DOI 10.1038/s41419-017-0116-2 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access Multifunctional viral protein γ34.5 manipulates nucleolar protein NOP53 for optimal viral replication of HSV-1 Wen Meng1, Shi-Chong Han1,Cui-CuiLi1, Hui-Jun Dong1 and Xiao-Jia Wang1 Abstract To ensure efficient virus replication, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encodes several viral proteins to counter host defense response upon infection. Among these proteins, the multifunctional viral protein γ34.5 crucially interferes with or disrupts several antiviral pathways at multiple levels. The current study shows that γ34.5 utilizes nucleolar protein NOP53 to facilitate the dephosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor eIF2α for efficient viral translation. Our study shows that: (1) ectopic expression of NOP53 greatly increases the intracellular and extracellular viral yields of HSV-1 (wild strain F) in type I interferon-deficient Vero cells, and more subtly promotes viral replication of γ34.5 deletion mutant virus HSV-1/Δγ34.5. (2) NOP53 is migrated from nuclei in HSV-1/F infected cells, but is redistributed incompletely after infection by either HSV-1/Δγ34.5 or ICP4 deletion mutant virus HSV-1/d120 (replication inadequate). Ectopic expression of γ34.5, consequently, induces cytoplasmic translocation of NOP53 in response to HSV-1/Δγ34.5 infection. (3) Increase of NOP53, in two forms of transient transfection and in vitro expression, attenuates the phosphorylation level of eIF2α in HSV-1/F infected cells, but fails to affect eIF2α phosphorylation induced by HSV-1/ Δγ34.5 infection. (4) Knockdown of NOP53, which impairs the specific interaction between γ34.5 and protein phosphatase PP1α, disrupts the ability of γ34.5 to maintain HSV-1 virulence.

Received: 24 January 2018; Accepted: 20 February 2018; Published: 23 February 2018 Abstract: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a neuroinvasive human pathogen that has the ability to infect and replicate within epithelial cells and neurons and establish a life-long latent infection in sensory neurons. HSV-1 depends on the host cellular cytoskeleton for entry, replication, and exit. Therefore, HSV-1 has adapted mechanisms to promote its survival by exploiting the microtubule and actin cytoskeletons to direct its active transport, infection, and spread between neurons and epithelial cells during primary and recurrent infections. This review will focus on the currently known mechanisms utilized by HSV-1 to harness the neuronal cytoskeleton, molecular motors, and the secretory and exocytic pathways for efficient virus entry, axonal transport, replication, assembly, and exit from the distinct functional compartments (cell body and axon) of the highly polarized sensory neurons. Keywords: herpes simplex virus; neurons; axonal transport; cytoskeleton; microtubules; actin 1.

    RESEARCH ARTICLE HSV-1 single-cell analysis reveals the activation of anti-viral and developmental programs in distinct sub-populations Nir Drayman1,2*, Parthiv Patel1,2, Luke Vistain1,2, Savas¸Tay1,2* 1Institute for Molecular Engineering, The University of Chicago, Chicago, United States; 2Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, United States Abstract Viral infection is usually studied at the population level by averaging over millions of cells. However, infection at the single-cell level is highly heterogeneous, with most infected cells giving rise to no or few viral progeny while some cells produce thousands. Analysis of Herpes Simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection by population-averaged measurements has taught us a lot about the course of viral infection, but has also produced contradictory results, such as the concurrent activation and inhibition of type I interferon signaling during infection. Here, we combine live-cell imaging and single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize viral and host transcriptional heterogeneity during HSV-1 infection of primary human cells. We find extreme variability in the level of viral gene expression among individually infected cells and show that these cells cluster into transcriptionally distinct sub-populations. We find that anti-viral signaling is initiated in a rare group of abortively infected cells, while highly infected cells undergo cellular reprogramming to an embryonic-like transcriptional state. This reprogramming involves the recruitment of b-catenin to the host nucleus and viral replication compartments, and is required for late viral gene expression and progeny production. These findings uncover the transcriptional differences in cells with variable infection outcomes and shed new light on the manipulation of host pathways by HSV-1.
