In this review, we discuss FV assembly, with special emphasis on Pol incorporation. FV assembly takes place intracellularly, near the pericentriolar region, at a site similar to that used by betaretroviruses. The regions of Gag, Pol and genomic RNA required for viral assembly are described. In contrast to orthoretroviral Pol, which is synthesized as a Gag-Pol fusion protein and packaged through Gag-Gag interactions, FV Pol is synthesized from a spliced mRNA lacking all Gag sequences. Thus, encapsidation of FV Pol requires a different mechanism. We detail how WT Pol lacking Gag sequences is incorporated into virus particles. In addition, a mutant in which Pol is expressed as an orthoretroviral-like Gag-Pol fusion protein is discussed. -

Viroporins: Structures and Functions Beyond Cell Membrane Permeabilization

Viroporins represent an interesting group of viral proteins that exhibit two sets of functions. First, they participate in several viral processes that are necessary for efficient production of virus progeny. Besides, viroporins interfere with a number of cellular functions, thus contributing to viral cytopathogenicity. Twenty years have elapsed from the first review on viroporins [1]; since then several reviews have covered the advances on viroporin structure and functioning [2–8]. This Special Issue updates and revises new emerging roles of viroporins, highlighting their potential use as antiviral targets and in vaccine development. Viroporin structure. Viroporins are usually short proteins with at least one hydrophobic amphipathic helix. Homo-oligomerization is achieved by helix–helix interactions in membranes rendering higher order structures, forming aqueous pores. Progress in viroporin structures during the last 2–3 years has in some instances provided a detailed knowledge of their functional architecture, including the fine definition of binding sites for effective inhibitors. -

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight single-stranded RNA segments sequestered within a protein capsid and a lipid bilayer envelope. During host cell entry, cellular cues contribute to viral conformational changes that promote critical events such as fusion with late endosomes, capsid uncoating and viral genome release into the cytosol. In this focused review, we concisely describe the virus infection cycle and highlight the recent findings of host cell pathways and cytosolic proteins that assist influenza uncoating during host cell entry.

HSV-1-encoded ICP5, the major capsid protein, is essential for capsid assembly during viral replication. Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that plays a critical role in the regulation of cellular events such as proteasomal degradation, protein trafficking, and the antiviral response and viral events such as the establishment of infection and viral replication. Ub-activating enzyme (E1, also named UBE1) is involved in the first step in the ubiquitination. However, it is still unknown whether UBE1 contributes to viral infection or the cellular antiviral response. Here, we found that UBE1a suppressed HSV-1 replication and contributed to the antiviral response. The UBE1a inhibitor PYR-41 increased HSV-1 production. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that UBE1a highly expressing cells presented low ICP5 expression, and vice versa. UBE1a inhibition by PYR-41 and shRNA increased ICP5 expression in HSV-1-infected cells. -

Lentivirus and Lentiviral Vectors Fact Sheet
Lentivirus and Lentiviral Vectors Family: Retroviridae Genus: Lentivirus Enveloped Size: ~ 80 - 120 nm in diameter Genome: Two copies of positive-sense ssRNA inside a conical capsid Risk Group: 2 Lentivirus Characteristics Lentivirus (lente-, latin for “slow”) is a group of retroviruses characterized for a long incubation period. They are classified into five serogroups according to the vertebrate hosts they infect: bovine, equine, feline, ovine/caprine and primate. Some examples of lentiviruses are Human (HIV), Simian (SIV) and Feline (FIV) Immunodeficiency Viruses. Lentiviruses can deliver large amounts of genetic information into the DNA of host cells and can integrate in both dividing and non- dividing cells. The viral genome is passed onto daughter cells during division, making it one of the most efficient gene delivery vectors. Most lentiviral vectors are based on the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which will be used as a model of lentiviral vector in this fact sheet. Structure of the HIV Virus The structure of HIV is different from that of other retroviruses. HIV is roughly spherical with a diameter of ~120 nm. HIV is composed of two copies of positive ssRNA that code for nine genes enclosed by a conical capsid containing 2,000 copies of the p24 protein. The ssRNA is tightly bound to nucleocapsid proteins, p7, and enzymes needed for the development of the virion: reverse transcriptase (RT), proteases (PR), ribonuclease and integrase (IN). A matrix composed of p17 surrounds the capsid ensuring the integrity of the virion. This, in turn, is surrounded by an envelope composed of two layers of phospholipids taken from the membrane of a human cell when a newly formed virus particle buds from the cell. -
HSV-1 Single-Cell Analysis Reveals the Activation of Anti-Viral And
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. -
