How Viruses Use the Endoplasmic Reticulum for Entry, Replication, and Assembly Downloaded from http://cshperspectives.cshlp.org/ on September 27, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press How Viruses Use the Endoplasmic Reticulum for Entry, Replication, and Assembly Takamasa Inoue and Billy Tsai Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103 Correspondence: [email protected] Tocause infection, avirus enters a host cell, replicates, and assembles, with the resulting new viral progeny typically released into the extracellular environment to initiate a new infection round. Virus entry, replication, and assembly are dynamic and coordinated processes that require precise interactions with host components, often within and surrounding a defined subcellular compartment. Accumulating evidence pinpoints the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as a crucial organelle supporting viral entry, replication, and assembly. This review focuses on the molecular mechanism by which different viruses co-opt the ER to accomplish these crucial infection steps. Certain bacterial toxins also hijack the ER for entry.

These viral factors act in concert with host proteins to mediate virus entry, and to coordinate RNA replication and virus production. Recent evidence has highlighted the complexity of HCV assembly, which not only involves viral structural proteins but also relies on host factors important for lipoprotein synthesis, and a number of viral assembly co-factors. The latter include the integral membrane protein p7, which oligomerizes and forms cation-selective pores. Based on these properties, p7 was included into the family of viroporins comprising viral proteins from multiple virus families which share the ability to manipulate membrane permeability for ions and to facilitate virus production. Although the precise mechanism as to how p7 and its ion channel function contributes to virus production is still elusive, recent structural and functional studies have revealed a number of intriguing new facets that should guide future efforts to dissect the role and function of p7 in the viral replication cycle.

    APICAL M2 PROTEIN IS REQUIRED FOR EFFICIENT INFLUENZA A VIRUS REPLICATION by Nicholas Wohlgemuth A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October, 2017 © Nicholas Wohlgemuth 2017 All rights reserved ABSTRACT Influenza virus infections are a major public health burden around the world. This dissertation examines the influenza A virus M2 protein and how it can contribute to a better understanding of influenza virus biology and improve vaccination strategies. M2 is a member of the viroporin class of virus proteins characterized by their predicted ion channel activity. While traditionally studied only for their ion channel activities, viroporins frequently contain long cytoplasmic tails that play important roles in virus replication and disruption of cellular function. The currently licensed live, attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) contains a mutation in the M segment coding sequence of the backbone virus which confers a missense mutation (alanine to serine) in the M2 gene at amino acid position 86. Previously discounted for not showing a phenotype in immortalized cell lines, this mutation contributes to both the attenuation and temperature sensitivity phenotypes of LAIV in primary human nasal epithelial cells. Furthermore, viruses encoding serine at M2 position 86 induced greater IFN-λ responses at early times post infection. Reversing mutations such as this, and otherwise altering LAIV’s ability to replicate in vivo, could result in an improved LAIV development strategy. Influenza viruses infect at and egress from the apical plasma membrane of airway epithelial cells. Accordingly, the virus transmembrane proteins, HA, NA, and M2, are all targeted to the apical plasma membrane ii and contribute to egress.

In this study, we develop an HIV reporter virus (HIV-AFMACS) displaying a streptavidin- binding affinity tag at the surface of infected cells, allowing facile one-step selection with streptavidin-conjugated magnetic beads. We use this system to obtain pure populations of HIV- infected primary human CD4+ T cells for detailed proteomic analysis, and quantitate approximately 9000 proteins across multiple donors on a dynamic background of T cell activation. Amongst 650 HIV-dependent changes (q < 0.05), we describe novel Vif-dependent targets FMR1 and DPH7, and 192 proteins not identified and/or regulated in T cell lines, such as ARID5A and PTPN22. We therefore provide a high-coverage functional proteomic atlas of HIV infection, and a mechanistic account of host factors subverted by the virus in its natural target cell.

One aspect of this conflict is the host’s attempt to eliminate infected cells using innate and adaptive cell-mediated immune mechanisms that recognize features of the plasma membrane characteristic of viral infection. Another is the expression of plasma membrane-associated proteins, so-called restriction factors, which inhibit enveloped virions directly. HIV-1 encodes two countermeasures to these host defenses: The membrane-associated accessory proteins Vpu and Nef. In addition to inhibiting cell-mediated immune-surveillance, Vpu and Nef counteract membrane-associated restriction factors. These include BST-2, which traps newly formed virions at the plasma membrane unless counteracted by Vpu, and SERINC5, which decreases the infectivity of virions unless counteracted by Nef. Here we review key features of these two antiviral proteins, and we review Vpu and Nef, which deplete them from the plasma membrane by co-opting specific cellular proteins and pathways of membrane trafficking and protein-degradation. We also discuss other plasma membrane proteins modulated by HIV-1, particularly CD4, which, if not opposed in infected cells by Vpu and Nef, inhibits viral infectivity and increases the sensitivity of the viral envelope glycoprotein to host immunity.

  • Innate Immune Responses to Rotavirus and Viral Countermeasures in Infected Macrophages and Intestinal Cells
    Innate immune responses to rotavirus and viral countermeasures in infected macrophages and intestinal cells Izabel Julien Martini Di Fiore Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 Department of Microbiology and Immunology The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Rotavirus infections are a major cause of life-threatening gastroenteritis. The innate immune system provides an immediate mechanism of suppressing viral replication and is required for an effective adaptive immunity. The induction of an innate immune response involves the viral detection by the host, which initiates intracellular signaling events and culminates in the activation of transcription factors, such as IRF3 and NF- κB. NF-κB activation requires the degradation of NF-κB-inhibitor protein, IκB, by the β-TrCP protein. In the nucleus, these transcription factors mediate the expression of antiviral cytokines, including type I interferon and proinflammatory cytokines. Rotavirus NSP1 can antagonize immune responses by inducing the degradation of IRF proteins or by blocking NF-κB action through the degradation of β-TrCP. Macrophages are the front-line cells of innate immunity and have a central role in controlling dissemination of microbial pathogens. In response to viral infection, they can produce several interferon (IFN) types and inflammatory cytokines. However, the role of macrophages during rotavirus infection is not completely understood. Intestinal epithelial cells, the main target of rotavirus infection, also produce antiviral cytokines in response to virus infection, which modulate both innate and adaptative immune responses. This study firstly showed that rotavirus is capable to infect macrophages, inducing the expression of type I IFN and proinflammatory cytokines.

Expression of vpu using Sindbis virus (SV) as a vector leads to permeabilization of plasma membrane to hydrophilic molecules and impaired maturation of wild type SV glycoproteins in BHK cells. The 6K protein is a membrane protein encoded in the SV genome that facilitates budding of virus particles and regulates transport of viral glycoproteins through the secretory pathway. Some of these functions were assayed with a SV mutant containing a partially deleted 6K gene. Transfection of BHK cells with pSV⌬6K vector rendered defective SV⌬6K virus, which had lower membrane perme- abilization, impaired glycoprotein processing, and deficient virion budding. Replacement of 6K function by HIV-1 Vpu in SV⌬6K was tested by cloning the vpu gene under a duplicated late promoter (pSV⌬6KVpu). The presence of the vpu gene in the 6K-deleted virus enhances membrane permeability, modifies glycoprotein precursor processing, and facilitates infectious virus particle production.
