Proteostasis in Viral Infection: Unfolding the Complex Virus–Chaperone Interplay Downloaded from http://cshperspectives.cshlp.org/ on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Proteostasis in Viral Infection: Unfolding the Complex Virus–Chaperone Interplay Ranen Aviner1 and Judith Frydman1,2 1Department of Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305 2Department of Genetics, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305 Correspondence: [email protected] Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that rely on their hosts for protein synthesis, genome replication, and viral particle production. As such, they have evolved mechanisms to divert host resources, including molecular chaperones, facilitate folding and assembly of viral proteins, stabilize complex structures under constant mutational pressure, and modulate signaling pathways to dampen antiviral responses and prevent premature host death. Biogenesis of viral proteins often presents unique challenges to the proteostasis network, as it requires the rapid and orchestrated production of high levels of a limited number of mul- tifunctional, multidomain, and aggregation-prone proteins. To overcome such challenges, viruses interact with the folding machinery not only as clients but also as regulators of chaperone expression, function, and subcellular localization. In this review, we summarize the main types of interactions between viral proteins and chaperones during infection, examine evolutionary aspects of this relationship, and discuss the potential of using chaper- one inhibitors as broad-spectrum antivirals. ost proteins must fold properly before they synthesis, folding, trafficking, and assembly of Mcan perform their functions, and many replication complexes (RCs) and viral particles; require assistance of molecular chaperones as modulators, they regulate the activity and to achieve a native conformation.

Roles of chaperones in the major steps of the viral replication cycle. (A) Cell surface chaperones interact with viral envelope or capsid proteins and facilitate internalization. Intracellular chaperones can then destabilize the nucleocapsid conformation to release the viral genome. By binding to internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) or nascent polypeptide chains, chaperones can stimulate translation, prevent aggregation and proteasome-mediated degradation, and facilitate folding into a protease-competent conformation for subsequent processing by viral proteases. Through direct interactions with viral structural or nonstructural proteins, chaperones can maintain an active conformation of reverse transcriptases (RTs) and support nuclear import of viral proteins and genomes.

Tautza Downloaded from aUniversity of Luebeck, Institute of Virology and Cell Biology, Luebeck, Germany bUniversity of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Institute for Virology, Hannover, Germany ABSTRACT Pestiviruses like bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are a threat to live- stock. For pestiviruses, cytopathogenic (cp) and noncytopathogenic (noncp) strains are distinguished in cell culture. The noncp biotype of BVDV is capable of establish- ing persistent infections, which is a major problem in disease control. The noncp biotype rests on temporal control of viral RNA replication, mediated by regulated http://jvi.asm.org/ cleavage of nonstructural protein 2-3 (NS2-3). This cleavage is catalyzed by the auto- protease in NS2, the activity of which depends on its cellular cofactor, DNAJC14. Since this chaperone is available in small amounts and binds tightly to NS2, NS2-3 translated later in infection is no longer cleaved. As NS3 is an essential constituent of the viral replicase, this shift in polyprotein processing correlates with downregula- tion of RNA replication. In contrast, cp BVDV strains arising mostly by RNA recombi- nation show highly variable genome structures and display unrestricted NS3 release. on August 6, 2019 by guest The functional importance of DNAJC14 for noncp pestiviruses has been established so far only for BVDV-1. It was therefore enigmatic whether replication of other noncp pestiviruses is also DNAJC14 dependent.

    RESEARCH ARTICLE Repression of viral gene expression and replication by the unfolded protein response effector XBP1u Florian Hinte1, Eelco van Anken2,3, Boaz Tirosh4, Wolfram Brune1* 1Heinrich Pette Institute, Leibniz Institute for Experimental Virology, Hamburg, Germany; 2Division of Genetics and Cell Biology, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy; 3Universita` Vita-Salute San Raffaele, Milan, Italy; 4Institute for Drug Research, School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel Abstract The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a cellular homeostatic circuit regulating protein synthesis and processing in the ER by three ER-to-nucleus signaling pathways. One pathway is triggered by the inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1), which splices the X-box binding protein 1 (Xbp1) mRNA, thereby enabling expression of XBP1s. Another UPR pathway activates the activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6). Here we show that murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), a prototypic b-herpesvirus, harnesses the UPR to regulate its own life cycle. MCMV activates the IRE1-XBP1 pathway early post infection to relieve repression by XBP1u, the product of the unspliced Xbp1 mRNA. XBP1u inhibits viral gene expression and replication by blocking the activation of the viral major immediate-early promoter by XBP1s and ATF6. These findings reveal a redundant function of XBP1s and ATF6 as activators of the viral life cycle, and an unexpected role of XBP1u as a potent repressor of both XBP1s and ATF6-mediated activation. *For correspondence: [email protected] Introduction The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for synthesis, posttranslational modification, and fold- Competing interest: See ing of a substantial portion of cellular proteins.

  • Defining Functional Interactions During Biogenesis of Epithelial Junctions

Erasmus1,*, S. Bruche1,*,w, L. Pizarro1,2,*, N. Maimari1,3,*, T. Poggioli1,w, C. Tomlinson4,J.Lees5, I. Zalivina1,w, A. Wheeler1,w, A. Alberts6, A. Russo2 & V.M.M. Braga1 In spite of extensive recent progress, a comprehensive understanding of how actin cytoskeleton remodelling supports stable junctions remains to be established. Here we design a platform that integrates actin functions with optimized phenotypic clustering and identify new cytoskeletal proteins, their functional hierarchy and pathways that modulate E-cadherin adhesion. Depletion of EEF1A, an actin bundling protein, increases E-cadherin levels at junctions without a corresponding reinforcement of cell–cell contacts. This unexpected result reflects a more dynamic and mobile junctional actin in EEF1A-depleted cells. A partner for EEF1A in cadherin contact maintenance is the formin DIAPH2, which interacts with EEF1A. In contrast, depletion of either the endocytic regulator TRIP10 or the Rho GTPase activator VAV2 reduces E-cadherin levels at junctions. TRIP10 binds to and requires VAV2 function for its junctional localization. Overall, we present new conceptual insights on junction stabilization, which integrate known and novel pathways with impact for epithelial morphogenesis, homeostasis and diseases. 1 National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 2 Computing Department, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 3 Bioengineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK. 4 Department of Surgery & Cancer, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK.

  • Allele-Specific Silencing of Mutant Ataxin-7 in SCA7 Patient-Derived
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2014) 22, 1369–1375 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/14 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Allele-specific silencing of mutant Ataxin-7 in SCA7 patient-derived fibroblasts Janine Scholefield1,3, Lauren Watson1,2,3, Danielle Smith2, Jacquie Greenberg2 and Matthew JA Wood*,1,2 Polyglutamine (polyQ) disorders are inherited neurodegenerative conditions defined by a common pathogenic CAG repeat expansion leading to a toxic gain-of-function of the mutant protein. Consequences of this toxicity include activation of heat- shock proteins (HSPs), impairment of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and transcriptional dysregulation. Several studies in animal models have shown that reducing levels of toxic protein using small RNAs would be an ideal therapeutic approach for such disorders, including spinocerebellar ataxia-7 (SCA7). However, testing such RNA interference (RNAi) effectors in genetically appropriate patient cell lines with a disease-relevant phenotype has yet to be explored. Here, we have used primary adult dermal fibroblasts from SCA7 patients and controls to assess the endogenous allele-specific silencing of ataxin-7 by two distinct siRNAs. We further identified altered expression of two disease-relevant transcripts in SCA7 patient cells: a twofold increase in levels of the HSP DNAJA1 and a twofold decrease in levels of the de-ubiquitinating enzyme, UCHL1. After siRNA treatment, the expression of both genes was restored towards normal levels. To our knowledge, this is the first time that allele- specific silencing of mutant ataxin-7, targeting a common SNP, has been demonstrated in patient cells. These findings highlight the advantage of an allele-specific RNAi-based therapeutic approach, and indicate the value of primary patient-derived cells as useful models for mechanistic studies and for measuring efficacy of RNAi effectors on a patient-to-patient basis in the polyQ diseases.

These adenosine triphosphate dependent chaperones were classified based on their molecular mass that ranges between 10–100 kDA, including; HSP10, HSP40, HSP70, HSP90, HSPB1, HSPD, and HSPH1 family. HSPs are essential for cellular responses and imperative for protein homeostasis and survival under stress conditions. This study performed a computational analysis of the HSP protein family to better understand these proteins at the molecular level.
