  • Encephalomyocarditis Virus Viroporin 2B Activates NLRP3 Inflammasome
    Encephalomyocarditis Virus Viroporin 2B Activates NLRP3 Inflammasome Minako Ito, Yusuke Yanagi, Takeshi Ichinohe* Department of Virology, Faculty of Medicine, Kyushu University, Maidashi, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, Japan Abstract Nod-like receptors (NLRs) comprise a large family of intracellular pattern- recognition receptors. Members of the NLR family assemble into large multiprotein complexes, termed the inflammasomes. The NLR family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) is triggered by a diverse set of molecules and signals, and forms the NLRP3 inflammasome. Recent studies have indicated that both DNA and RNA viruses stimulate the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to the secretion of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1b) and IL-18 following the activation of caspase-1. We previously demonstrated that the proton-selective ion channel M2 protein of influenza virus activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. However, the precise mechanism by which NLRP3 recognizes viral infections remains to be defined. Here, we demonstrate that encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), a positive strand RNA virus of the family Picornaviridae, activates the NLRP3 inflammasome in mouse dendritic cells and macrophages. Although transfection with RNA from EMCV virions or EMCV-infected cells induced robust expression of type I interferons in macrophages, it failed to stimulate secretion of IL-1b. Instead, the EMCV viroporin 2B was sufficient to cause inflammasome activation in lipopolysaccharide-primed macrophages. While cells untransfected or transfected with the gene encoding the EMCV non-structural protein 2A or 2C expressed NLRP3 uniformly throughout the cytoplasm, NLRP3 was redistributed to the perinuclear space in cells transfected with the gene encoding the EMCV 2B or influenza virus M2 protein. 2B proteins of other picornaviruses, poliovirus and enterovirus 71, also caused the NLRP3 redistribution.

  • Virus-Host Interaction: the Multifaceted Roles of Ifitms And
    Virus-Host Interaction: The Multifaceted Roles of IFITMs and LY6E in HIV Infection DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jingyou Yu Graduate Program in Comparative and Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Shan-Lu Liu, MD, PhD, Advisor Patrick L. Green, PhD Jianrong Li, DVM., PhD Jesse J. Kwiek, PhD Copyrighted by Jingyou Yu 2018 Abstract With over 1.8 million newly infected people each year, the worldwide HIV-1 epidemic remains an imperative challenge for public health. Recent work has demonstrated that type I interferons (IFNs) efficiently suppress HIV infection through induction of hundreds of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs). These ISGs target distinct infection stages of invading pathogens and shape innate immunity. Among these, interferon induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) and lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus E (LY6E) have been shown to differentially modulate viral infections. However, their effects on HIV are not fully understood. In my thesis work, I provided evidence in Chapter 2 showing that IFITM proteins, particularly IFITM2 and IFITM3, specifically antagonize the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env), thereby inhibiting viral infection. IFITM proteins interacted with HIV-1 Env in viral producer cells, leading to impaired Env processing and virion incorporation. Notably, the level of IFITM incorporation into HIV-1 virions did not strictly correlate with the extent of inhibition. Prolonged passage of HIV-1 in IFITM-expressing T lymphocytes led to emergence of Env mutants that overcome IFITM restriction. The ability of IFITMs to inhibit cell-to-cell infection can be extended to HIV-1 primary isolates, HIV-2 and SIVs; however, the extent of inhibition appeared to be virus- strain dependent.

  • Synthetic Viruses: a New Opportunity to Understand and Prevent Viral Disease
    REVIEW Synthetic viruses: a new opportunity to understand and prevent viral disease Eckard Wimmer1, Steffen Mueller1, Terrence M Tumpey2 & Jeffery K Taubenberger3 Rapid progress in DNA synthesis and sequencing is spearheading the deliberate, large-scale genetic alteration of organisms. These new advances in DNA manipulation have been extended to the level of whole-genome synthesis, as evident from the synthesis of poliovirus, from the resurrection of the extinct 1918 strain of influenza virus and of human endogenous retroviruses and from the restructuring of the phage T7 genome. The largest DNA synthesized so far is the 582,970 base pair genome of Mycoplasma genitalium, although, as yet, this synthetic DNA has not been ‘booted’ to life. As genome synthesis is independent of a natural template, it allows modification of the structure and function of a virus’s genetic information to an extent that was hitherto impossible. The common goal of this new strategy is to further our understanding of an organism’s properties, particularly its pathogenic armory if it causes disease in humans, and to make use of this new information to protect from, or treat, human viral disease. Although only a few applications of virus synthesis have been described as yet, key recent findings have been the resurrection of the 1918 influenza virus and the generation of codon- and codon pair–deoptimized polioviruses. Unprecedented progress in synthesis and sequence analysis of DNA systems (‘refactoring’ genomes) or recoding viral genetic information lies at the heart of the recent transformation of molecular biology for the production of vaccine candidates. and the emergence of the field termed synthetic biology.

ICP27 appears to be multifunctional in that it has been reported to stimulate viral late gene transcription, polyadenylation site usage, and RNA export. We report here on proteomic studies involving immunoprecipitation of ICP27 and mass spectrometric identification of co- precipitated proteins. These studies show an association of ICP27 with the cellular translation initiation factors poly A binding protein (PABP), eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3), and eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G) in infected cells. Immunoprecipitation-western blot studies confirmed these associations. Finally, purified MBP-tagged ICP27 (MBP-27) can interact with eIF3 subunits p47 and p116 in vitro. These results suggest that ICP27 may also play a role in stimulating translation of certain viral and host mRNAs and/or in inhibiting host mRNA translation. D 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Received: 2 March 2010; in revised form: 09 April 2010 / Accepted: 13 April 2010 / Published: 15 April 2010 Abstract: Glycosphingolipids are ubiquitous molecules composed of a lipid and a carbohydrate moiety. Their main functions are as antigen/toxin receptors, in cell adhesion/recognition processes, or initiation/modulation of signal transduction pathways. Microbes take advantage of the different carbohydrate structures displayed on a specific cell surface for attachment during infection. For some viruses, such as the polyomaviruses, binding to gangliosides determines the internalization pathway into cells. For others, the interaction between microbe and carbohydrate can be a critical determinant for host susceptibility. In this review, we summarize the role of glycosphingolipids as receptors for members of the non-enveloped calici-, rota-, polyoma- and parvovirus families. Keywords: non-enveloped virus; glycosphingolipid; receptor; calicivirus; rotavirus; polyomavirus; parvovirus 1. Introduction Viruses come in many different flavors and are often broadly classified based on their nucleic acid content (DNA versus RNA virus), capsid symmetry (icosahedral, helical, or complex), and the presence or absence of a lipid envelope (enveloped versus non-enveloped).

    ANIMAL ENTERIC VIRUSES: GENE EXPRESSION, EPIDEMIOLOGY AND THEIR ROLE IN SHELLFISH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Verónica P. Costantini, BS ******* The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Distinguished University Professor Dr. Linda J Saif, Adviser Professor Dr. Daral J. Jackwood Associate Professor Dr John H Hughes Approved by Adviser Graduate Program in Veterinary Preventive Medicine Copyright by Verónica Costantini 2007 ABSTRACT Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is one of the most common diseases worldwide. Seven to 41 percent of these are food-borne disease. Each year, foodborne diseases cause 76 million illnesses, more than 300,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths in the U.S, indicating that 1 in 4 Americans develop disease and at least 1 in 1000 is hospitalized. Only 20-30% of these illnesses are attributed to known pathogens, and viral agents are estimated to account for more than 2/3 of these. Among viruses, noroviruses (NoVs) are estimated to cause 82% of the foodborne illnesses. HuNoVs have been detected in fruits, vegetables, ready-to-eat foods and seafood worldwide. Ten to 70% of outbreaks are associated with seafood and contamination occurs at pre- and post-harvest. However, no data has been collected to determine viral contamination in commercial shellfish harvesting areas throughout the U.S. coasts. In addition, although the identification of related animal enteric caliciviruses and recombinants have raised concerns for human infection or co-infection with different strains, the presence of animal strains in shellfish with potential risk for humans has not been studied.
