Our previous work identified mouse UBR1 and UBR2 as E3 ubiquitin ligases that recognize N-degrons. Such E3s are called N-recognins. We report here that while double-mutant UBR1؊/؊ UBR2؊/؊ mice die as early embryos, the rescued UBR1؊/؊ UBR2؊/؊ fibroblasts still retain the N-end rule pathway, albeit of lower activity than that of wild-type fibroblasts. An affinity assay for proteins that bind to destabilizing N-terminal residues has identified, in addition to UBR1 and UBR2, a huge (570 kDa) mouse protein, termed UBR4, and also the 300-kDa UBR5, a previously characterized mammalian E3 known as EDD/hHYD. -
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. -
A Picorna-Like Virus Suppresses the N-End Rule Pathway to Inhibit Apoptosis
RESEARCH ARTICLE A picorna-like virus suppresses the N-end rule pathway to inhibit apoptosis Zhaowei Wang1,2†, Xiaoling Xia1,2,3†, Xueli Yang1, Xueyi Zhang1,2, Yongxiang Liu1,2, Di Wu1,2, Yuan Fang1,2, Yujie Liu1,2, Jiuyue Xu2, Yang Qiu2, Xi Zhou1,2* 1State Key Laboratory of Virology, College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China; 2State Key Laboratory of Virology, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China; 3Guangzhou Key Laboratory of Insect Development Regulation and Application Research, Institute of Insect Science and Technology & School of Life Sciences, South China Normal University, Guangzhou, China Abstract The N-end rule pathway is an evolutionarily conserved proteolytic system that degrades proteins containing N-terminal degradation signals called N-degrons, and has emerged as a key regulator of various processes. Viruses manipulate diverse host pathways to facilitate viral replication and evade antiviral defenses. However, it remains unclear if viral infection has any impact on the N-end rule pathway. Here, using a picorna-like virus as a model, we found that viral infection promoted the accumulation of caspase-cleaved Drosophila inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (DIAP1) by inducing the degradation of N-terminal amidohydrolase 1 (NTAN1), a key N-end rule component that identifies N-degron to initiate the process. The virus-induced NTAN1 degradation is independent of polyubiquitylation but dependent on proteasome. Furthermore, the virus- induced N-end rule pathway suppression inhibits apoptosis and benefits viral replication. Thus, our findings demonstrate that a virus can suppress the N-end rule pathway, and uncover a new *For correspondence: mechanism for virus to evade apoptosis. -
A SARS-Cov-2-Human Protein-Protein Interaction Map Reveals Drug Targets and Potential Drug-Repurposing
A SARS-CoV-2-Human Protein-Protein Interaction Map Reveals Drug Targets and Potential Drug-Repurposing Supplementary Information Supplementary Discussion All SARS-CoV-2 protein and gene functions described in the subnetwork appendices, including the text below and the text found in the individual bait subnetworks, are based on the functions of homologous genes from other coronavirus species. These are mainly from SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, but when available and applicable other related viruses were used to provide insight into function. The SARS-CoV-2 proteins and genes listed here were designed and researched based on the gene alignments provided by Chan et. al. 1 2020 . Though we are reasonably sure the genes here are well annotated, we want to note that not every protein has been verified to be expressed or functional during SARS-CoV-2 infections, either in vitro or in vivo. In an effort to be as comprehensive and transparent as possible, we are reporting the sub-networks of these functionally unverified proteins along with the other SARS-CoV-2 proteins. In such cases, we have made notes within the text below, and on the corresponding subnetwork figures, and would advise that more caution be taken when examining these proteins and their molecular interactions. Due to practical limits in our sample preparation and data collection process, we were unable to generate data for proteins corresponding to Nsp3, Orf7b, and Nsp16. Therefore these three genes have been left out of the following literature review of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins and the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) identified in this study. -

Opportunistic Intruders: How Viruses Orchestrate ER Functions to Infect Cells
REVIEWS Opportunistic intruders: how viruses orchestrate ER functions to infect cells Madhu Sudhan Ravindran*, Parikshit Bagchi*, Corey Nathaniel Cunningham and Billy Tsai Abstract | Viruses subvert the functions of their host cells to replicate and form new viral progeny. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has been identified as a central organelle that governs the intracellular interplay between viruses and hosts. In this Review, we analyse how viruses from vastly different families converge on this unique intracellular organelle during infection, co‑opting some of the endogenous functions of the ER to promote distinct steps of the viral life cycle from entry and replication to assembly and egress. The ER can act as the common denominator during infection for diverse virus families, thereby providing a shared principle that underlies the apparent complexity of relationships between viruses and host cells. As a plethora of information illuminating the molecular and cellular basis of virus–ER interactions has become available, these insights may lead to the development of crucial therapeutic agents.

Abstract: Viral infections lead to expeditious activation of the host’s innate immune responses, most importantly the interferon (IFN) response, which manifests a network of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) that constrain escalating virus replication by fashioning an ill-disposed environment. Interestingly, most viruses, including rotavirus, have evolved numerous strategies to evade or subvert host immune responses to establish successful infection. Several studies have documented the induction of ISGs during rotavirus infection. In this study, we evaluated the induction and antiviral potential of viperin, an ISG, during rotavirus infection. We observed that rotavirus infection, in a stain independent manner, resulted in progressive upregulation of viperin at increasing time points post-infection. Knockdown of viperin had no significant consequence on the production of total Citation: Sarkar, R.; Nandi, S.; Lo, infectious virus particles.

REVIEW ARTICLE Functional studies of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins Yanglin QIU and Kai XU* Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Microbes and Functional Genomics, College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, P. R. China. *Correspondence: [email protected] https://doi.org/10.37175/stemedicine.v1i2.39 ABSTRACT Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV, have caused contagious and fatal respiratory diseases in humans worldwide. Notably, the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 spread rapidly in early 2020 and became a global pandemic. The nonstructural proteins of coronaviruses are critical components of the viral replication machinery. They function in viral RNA transcription and replication, as well as counteracting the host innate immunity. Studies of these proteins not only revealed their essential role during viral infection but also help the design of novel drugs targeting the viral replication and immune evasion machinery. In this review, we summarize the functional studies of each nonstructural proteins and compare the similarities and differences between nonstructural proteins from different coronaviruses. Keywords: Coronavirus · SARS-CoV-2 · COVID-19 · Nonstructural proteins · Drug discovery Introduction genes (18). The first two major ORFs (ORF1a, ORF1ab) The coronavirus (CoV) outbreaks among human are the replicase genes, and the other four encode viral populations have caused three major epidemics structural proteins that comprise the essential protein worldwide, since the beginning of the 21st century. These components of the coronavirus virions, including the spike are the epidemics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome surface glycoprotein (S), envelope protein (E), matrix (SARS) in 2003 (1, 2), the Middle East respiratory protein (M), and nucleocapsid protein (N) (14, 19, 20). -
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. -
