RNA-Binding Proteins at the Host-Pathogen Interface Targeting Viral Regulatory Elements
viruses Review RNA-Binding Proteins at the Host-Pathogen Interface Targeting Viral Regulatory Elements Azman Embarc-Buh , Rosario Francisco-Velilla and Encarnacion Martinez-Salas * Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa, CSIC-UAM, Nicolás Cabrera 1, 28049 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (A.E.-B.); [email protected] (R.F.-V.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-911964619; Fax: +34-911964420 Abstract: Viral RNAs contain the information needed to synthesize their own proteins, to replicate, and to spread to susceptible cells. However, due to their reduced coding capacity RNA viruses rely on host cells to complete their multiplication cycle. This is largely achieved by the concerted action of regulatory structural elements on viral RNAs and a subset of host proteins, whose dedicated function across all stages of the infection steps is critical to complete the viral cycle. Importantly, not only the RNA sequence but also the RNA architecture imposed by the presence of specific structural domains mediates the interaction with host RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), ultimately affecting virus multiplication and spreading. In marked difference with other biological systems, the genome of positive strand RNA viruses is also the mRNA. Here we focus on distinct types of positive strand RNA viruses that differ in the regulatory elements used to promote translation of the viral RNA, as well as in the mechanisms used to evade the series of events connected to antiviral response, including translation shutoff induced in infected cells, assembly of stress granules, and trafficking stress.

Diverse Strategies Used by Picornaviruses to Escape Host RNA Decay Pathways
viruses Review Diverse Strategies Used by Picornaviruses to Escape Host RNA Decay Pathways Wendy Ullmer and Bert L. Semler * Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-949-824-7573 Academic Editor: Karen Beemon Received: 5 November 2016; Accepted: 9 December 2016; Published: 20 December 2016 Abstract: To successfully replicate, viruses protect their genomic material from degradation by the host cell. RNA viruses must contend with numerous destabilizing host cell processes including mRNA decay pathways and viral RNA (vRNA) degradation resulting from the antiviral response. Members of the Picornaviridae family of small RNA viruses have evolved numerous diverse strategies to evade RNA decay, including incorporation of stabilizing elements into vRNA and re-purposing host stability factors. Viral proteins are deployed to disrupt and inhibit components of the decay machinery and to redirect decay machinery to the advantage of the virus. This review summarizes documented interactions of picornaviruses with cellular RNA decay pathways and processes. Keywords: picornavirus; Picornaviridae; poliovirus; coxsackievirus; human rhinovirus; RNA degradation; mRNA decay; RNA stability; RNase L; deadenylase 1. Introduction Cytoplasmic RNA viruses encounter a myriad of host defense mechanisms that must be countered by a small arsenal of viral proteins. Preserving the stability and integrity of viral RNA (vRNA) is of fundamental importance to the virus to ensure successful generation of progeny virions. Throughout the virus replication cycle, vRNAs encounter multiple potentially destabilizing host cell pathways and processes, from regulated mRNA decay pathways to interferon (IFN)-induced vRNA decay. Members of the Picornaviridae family are small, positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that have evolved strategies to re-purpose, inhibit, or otherwise evade many components of the cellular RNA decay machinery. -

Upon RNA binding, RLRs trigger a complex downstream signaling cascade resulting in the expression of type I interferons and proinflammatory cytokines. In the past decade extensive efforts were made to elucidate the nature of putative RLR ligands. In vitro and transfection studies identified 59-triphosphate containing blunt-ended double-strand RNAs as potent RIG-I inducers and these findings were confirmed by next-generation sequencing of RIG-I associated RNAs from virus-infected cells. The nature of RNA ligands of MDA5 is less clear. Several studies suggest that double-stranded RNAs are the preferred agonists for the protein.
