Frisque Professor of Molecular Virology Associate Department Head for Equity and Diversity *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Paramyxoviruses possess non-segmented, negative-sense RNA genomes that are encapsidated by viral nucleocapsid protein (NP), and are packaged into budding virus particles via NP protein interaction with viral matrix (M) proteins, thereby creating infectious viruses. We had previously identified a DLD sequence near the C- terminal end of parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) NP protein that was important for interaction with PIV5 M protein, and for enhancing PIV5 virus-like particle (VLP) production. We have shown here that a DLD-containing 15 amino acid sequence derived from PIV5 NP or Nipah virus N proteins is sufficient to direct a foreign protein, Renilla luciferase, into virus-like particles. This short DLD-containing sequence was also able to replace the requirement for NP protein in PIV5 VLP production. Mumps virus NP protein contains a DWD sequence instead of DLD, and consequently, PIV5 NP protein cannot interact efficiently with mumps virus M protein, in spite of the two viruses being very closely related. Altering PIV5 NP DLD sequence to mumps virus NP DWD sequence creates a new PIV5 NP protein that is now compatible with M proteins from both PIV5 and mumps virus. We hypothesize that DLD-like sequences define compatibilities between paramyxovirus M and NP proteins that can be manipulated to drive production of virus-like particles containing therapeutics for delivery to cells. A hallmark of enveloped virus infection is the hijacking of host cellular pathways during viral egress. To define host factors involved in paramyxovirus budding, a yeast two-hybrid screening approach was used previously, which identified iv angiomotin-like 1 (AmotL1) as a host factor that binds to the matrix (M) proteins of parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) and mumps virus. AmotL1 belongs to a family of proteins that also includes angiomotin (Amot) and angiomotin-like 2 (AmotL2). All three angiomotins harbor PPXY motifs and interact with WW-domain containing proteins such as Nedd4 and YAP. We found that the PIV5 and mumps virus M proteins bind to AmotL1, but not to Amot or AmotL2. Binding was mapped to a 83- amino acid region from the C-terminal portion of AmotL1. Overexpression of M- binding AmotL1-derived polypeptides inhibited production of PIV5 and mumps virus-like particles (VLPs), while overexpression of the corresponding regions of Amot and AmotL2 had little effect on VLP production. Co-immunoprecipitation studies support the presence of a three-way interaction between Nedd4, AmotL1, and M. Efficient pulldown of M with Nedd4 was observed only when AmotL1 was expressed to bridge the gap. Our findings support a model in which paramyxoviruses indirectly recruit the same WW domain-containing proteins to virus assembly sites through AmotL1 that other enveloped viruses recruit directly via PPXY late domains. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES…………………………………………………………………………………………vii LIST OF TABLES……………………………………………………………………………………………ix LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS………………………………………………………………………………x ACKNOWLEDGMENTS…………………………………………………………………………………xii CHAPTER 1……………………………………………………………………………………………………1 LITERATURE REVIEW……………………………………………………………………………………1 1.1 Significance and classification of paramyxoviruses………………………………………...1 1.2 Structure and composition……………………………………………………………………………7 1.3 Life cycle of paramyxoviruses……………………………………………………………………..14 1.4 Paramyxovirus virus-like particles……………………………………………………………...17 1.5 Paramyxovirus matrix-nucleocapsid interactions………………………………………..18 1.6 ESCRT pathway and late domains……………………………………………………………….19 1.7 Angiomotins………………………………………………………………………………………………23 1.8 Preview...…………………………………………………………………………………………………...27 CHAPTER 2………………………………………………………………………………………………….30 MATERIALS AND METHODS……………………………………………………………………......30 Plasmids………………………………………………………………………………………………………….30 Antibodies……………………………………………………………………………………………………….32 Membrane co-flotation assays measuring M-NP interactions……………………………..33 Measurements of VLP production……………………………………………………………………..34 Measurement of luciferase activity……………………………………………………………………36 Co-immunoprecipitation assays………………………………………………………………………..36 Immunofluorescence microscopy……………………………………………………………………..37 Amino acid sequence comparisons…………………………………………………………………...38 CHAPTER 3………………………………………………………………………………………………….39 C-Terminal DxD-Containing Sequences within Paramyxovirus Nucleocapsid Proteins Determine Matrix Protein Compatibility and Can Direct Foreign Proteins into Budding Particles…………………………………………………………………..39 3.1 Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………………….39 3.2 Results……………………………………………………………………………………………………….42 Manipulation of genome packaging interactions to direct a foreign protein into PIV5 VLPs…………………………………………………………………….………………………………………….42 PIV5 NP protein and mumps virus M protein can be engineered for compatibility…………………………………………………………………………………………………...46 Alterations affecting the C-terminal end of mumps virus NP protein impair interaction with M protein and block VLP production………………………………………..52 Manipulation of genome packaging interactions to direct a foreign protein into Nipah VLPs………………………………………………………………………………………………………54 vi Amino acid residues 523 to 528 of N protein are important for RLuc packaging into Nipah VLPs………………………………………………………………………………………………………55 3.3 Discussion………………………………………………………………………………………………….59 CHAPTER 4………………………………………………………………………………………………….63 Role of angiomotin-like 1 in paramyxovirus budding…………………………………63 4.1 Introduction. …………………………………………………………………………………………......63 ESCRT and viral late domains…………………………………………………………………………...63 Angiomotins and virus budding……………………………………………………………………......67 4.2 Results……………………………………………………………………………………………………….69 PIV5 M binds selectively to AmotL1………………………………………………………………….69 The C-terminal fragment of AmotL1, and not that of AmotL2 or Amotp130, can inhibit PIV5 VLP production..…………………………………………………………………………...70 AmotL1 can bind to different members of the Nedd4 family of E3 ubiquitin ligases…………………………………………………………………….……………………………………….74 PIV5 M, AmotL1 and Nedd4-like proteins interact and form a complex……………...76 PIV5 M, Nedd4L and AmotL1 co-localization within cells………………………………......79 Mumps virus matrix protein binds only AmotL1, not AmotL2 or Amotp130…….....85 4.3 Discussion.………………………………………………………………………………………………....86 CHAPTER 5………………………………………………………………………………………………....91 SUMMARY AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS…………………………………………………………91 5.1 Summary…………………………………………………………………………………………………...91 5.2 Future directions…………………………………………………………………………………….....94 Manipulating genome packaging interactions for therapeutic uses……………………94 Examining compatibilities between M-NP proteins from different paramyxoviruses…………………………………………………………………………………………….96 Studying the role of angiomotins and Nedd4 ligases in paramxovirus budding.....97 APPENDICES…………………………………………………………………………………………….100 Appendix A: Packaging of foreign proteins into PIV5 virus-like particles and delivery into cells…………………………………………………………………………………..100 Appendix B: Packaging foreign proteins into mumps virus-like particles………..105 Appendix C: PIV5 M proteins with PPXY late domains can bind directly to Nedd4L………………………………………………………………………………………………………..108 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………………………………………………………..110 vii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.1.

  • Differential Features of Fusion Activation Within the Paramyxoviridae
    viruses Review Differential Features of Fusion Activation within the Paramyxoviridae Kristopher D. Azarm and Benhur Lee * Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY 10029, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-212-241-2552 Received: 17 December 2019; Accepted: 29 January 2020; Published: 30 January 2020 Abstract: Paramyxovirus (PMV) entry requires the coordinated action of two envelope glycoproteins, the receptor binding protein (RBP) and fusion protein (F). The sequence of events that occurs during the PMV entry process is tightly regulated. This regulation ensures entry will only initiate when the virion is in the vicinity of a target cell membrane. Here, we review recent structural and mechanistic studies to delineate the entry features that are shared and distinct amongst the Paramyxoviridae. In general, we observe overarching distinctions between the protein-using RBPs and the sialic acid- (SA-) using RBPs, including how their stalk domains differentially trigger F. Moreover, through sequence comparisons, we identify greater structural and functional conservation amongst the PMV fusion proteins, as compared to the RBPs. When examining the relative contributions to sequence conservation of the globular head versus stalk domains of the RBP, we observe that, for the protein-using PMVs, the stalk domains exhibit higher conservation and find the opposite trend is true for SA-using PMVs. A better understanding of conserved and distinct features that govern the entry of protein-using versus SA-using PMVs will inform the rational design of broader spectrum therapeutics that impede this process.

The direct cytotoxicity and immune-stimulatory effects make oncolytic viruses an interesting strategy for cancer treatment. In this review, we summarize the results of in vitro and in vivo published studies of oncolytic viruses in different phases of evaluation in dogs, using PubMed and Google scholar as search platforms, without time restrictions (to date). Natural and genetically modified oncolytic viruses were evaluated with some encouraging results. The most studied viruses to date are the reovirus, myxoma virus, and vaccinia, tested mostly in solid tumors such as osteosarcomas, mammary gland tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, and mastocytomas. Although the results are promising, there are issues that need addressing such as ensuring tumor specificity, developing optimal dosing, circumventing preexisting antibodies from previous exposure or the development of antibodies during treatment, and assuring a reasonable safety profile, all of which are required in order to make this approach a successful therapy in dogs.

Nonetheless, birds and seals of a variety of species inhabit them, particularly during their breeding Seal seasons. Early research on Antarctic wildlife health, using serology-based assays, showed exposure to viruses in Petrel the families Birnaviridae, Flaviviridae, Herpesviridae, Orthomyxoviridae and Paramyxoviridae circulating in seals Sharp spined notothen (Phocidae), penguins (Spheniscidae), petrels (Procellariidae) and skuas (Stercorariidae). It is only during the last Antarctica decade or so that polymerase chain reaction-based assays have been used to characterize viruses associated with Wildlife disease Antarctic animals. Furthermore, it is only during the last five years that full/whole genomes of viruses (ade- noviruses, anelloviruses, orthomyxoviruses, a papillomavirus, paramyoviruses, polyomaviruses and a togavirus) have been sequenced using Sanger sequencing or high throughput sequencing (HTS) approaches.

ABSTRACT: Microsatellites also known as simple sequence repeats (SSRs) present in across coding and non-coding regions of prokaryotes, eukaryotes and viruses, Mainly used as neutral genetic marker. Paramyxoma viruses are the enveloped, single-strand RNA viruses in the large family of Paramyxomaviridae. These viruses have emerged to infect humans and animals previously act as unidentified zoonoses. And have been previously recognized as bio-medically and veterinary important. In this study we analysed whole genome paramyxoma viral evolutionary tree and screened microsatellite repeats in 20 paramyxoma viral genomes along with emerging viruses, a total of 1336 SSRs and revealed a total of 76 cSSRs distributed across all the genomes. Among all paramyxoma viruses dinucleotides more prevalence followed mononucleotide and trinucleotides. Microsatellites are sequences of mono-, di-, tri-, tetra- and

The cap 0 structure is formed quence elements, Rx(3)Wx(3–8)xGx␨x(P/A) (motif ␨ / on pre-mRNAs by nuclear mRNA capping enzyme with A; , hydrophobic; , hydrophilic), (Y W) GSxT (mo- the RNA 5-triphosphatase (RTPase) and mRNA guanylyl- ␨ / tif B), W (motif C), HR (motif D) and xx x(F Y)Qxx transferase (GTase) activities followed by mRNA (guanine- (motif E). We performed site-directed mutagenesis N7)-methyltransferase (MTase).
