病毒劫持ESCRT系统促进自身复制的研究进展

内吞体分选转运复合体（endosomal sorting complex required for transport,ESCRT）系统驱动细胞的不同生命进程,包括内体分选、细胞器生物发生、囊泡运输、维持质膜完整性、细胞质分裂期间的膜裂变、有丝分裂后的核膜重组、自噬过程中吞噬孔的封闭以及包膜病毒出芽等。越来越多的证据表明,ESCRT系统能够被不同家族病毒劫持用于自身增殖。在病毒生命周期的不同阶段,病毒可以通过各种方式干扰或利用ESCRT系统介导的生理过程,最大限度地提高感染宿主的机会。此外,许多逆转录病毒和RNA病毒蛋白具有“晚期结构域”基序,可招募宿主ESCRT亚基蛋白帮助病毒内吞、运输、复制、出芽以及外排。因此,病毒“晚期结构域”基序和ESCRT亚基蛋白可能是病毒感染治疗中具有广泛应用前景的药物靶点。本文重点综述了ESCRT系统的组成及功能,ESCRT亚基和病毒“晚期结构域”基序对病毒复制的影响以及ESCRT介导的抗病毒作用,以期为抗病毒药物的开发和利用提供参考。

Virus hijacking ESCRT system to promote self-replication: a review

Endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) system drives various cellular processes, including endosome sorting, organelle biogenesis, vesicle transport, maintenance of plasma membrane integrity, membrane fission during cytokinesis, nuclear membrane reformation after mitosis, closure of autophagic vacuoles, and enveloped virus budding. Increasing evidence suggests that the ESCRT system can be hijacked by different family viruses for their proliferation. At different stages of the virus life cycle, viruses can interfere with or exploit ESCRT-mediated physiological processes in various ways to maximize their chance of infecting the host. In addition, many retroviral and RNA viral proteins possess "late domain" motifs, which can recruit host ESCRT subunit proteins to assist in virus endocytosis, transport, replicate, budding and efflux. Therefore, the "late domain" motifs of viruses and ESCRT subunit proteins could serve as promising drug targets in antiviral therapy. This review focuses on the composition and functions of the ESCRT system, the effects of ESCRT subunits and virus "late domain" motifs on viral replication, and the antiviral effects mediated by the ESCRT system, aiming to provide a reference for the development and utilization of antiviral drugs.
