Rotavirus replication and virus assembly take place in electrodense spherical structures known as viroplasms whose main components are the viral proteins NSP2 and NSP5. The viroplasms are produced since early times after infection and seem to grow by stepwise addition of viral proteins and by fusion, however, the mechanism of viropIasms formation is unknown. In this study we found that the viroplasms surface colocalized with microtubules, and seem to be caged by a microtubule network. Moreover inhibition of microtubule assembly with nocodazole interfered with viroplasms growth in rotavirus infected cells. We searched for a physical link between viroplasms and microtubules by co-immunoprecipitation assays, and we found that the proteins NSP2 and NSP5 were co-immunoprecipitated with anti-tubulin in rotavirus infected cells and also when they were transiently co-expressed or individually expressed. These results indicate that a functional microtubule network is needed for viroplasm growth presumably due to the association of viroplasms with microtubules via NSP2 and NSP5. 相似文献

Rotavirus plus-strand RNAs not only direct protein synthesis but also serve as templates for the synthesis of the segmented double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genome. In this study, we identified short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for viral genes 5, 8, and 9 that suppressed the expression of NSP1, a nonessential protein; NSP2, a component of viral replication factories (viroplasms); and VP7, an outer capsid protein, respectively. The loss of NSP2 expression inhibited viroplasm formation, genome replication, virion assembly, and synthesis of the other viral proteins. In contrast, the loss of VP7 expression had no effect on genome replication; instead, it inhibited only outer-capsid morphogenesis. Similarly, neither genome replication nor any other event of the viral life cycle was affected by the loss of NSP1. The data indicate that plus-strand RNAs templating dsRNA synthesis within viroplasms are not susceptible to siRNA-induced RNase degradation. In contrast, plus-strand RNAs templating protein synthesis in the cytosol are susceptible to degradation and thus are not the likely source of plus-strand RNAs for dsRNA synthesis in viroplasms. Indeed, immunofluorescence analysis of bromouridine (BrU)-labeled RNA made in infected cells provided evidence that plus-strand RNAs are synthesized within viroplasms. Furthermore, transfection of BrU-labeled viral plus-strand RNA into infected cells suggested that plus-strand RNAs introduced into the cytosol do not localize to viroplasms. From these results, we propose that plus-strand RNAs synthesized within viroplasms are the primary source of templates for genome replication and that trafficking pathways do not exist within the cytosol that transport plus-strand RNAs to viroplasms. The lack of such pathways confounds the development of reverse genetics systems for rotavirus. 相似文献

Autophagy is a cellular response activated by many pathogens, but the mechanism of activation is largely unknown. Recently we showed for the first time that rotavirus initiates the autophagy pathway through a calcium-mediated mechanism. Expression of the rotavirus-encoded NSP4, a pore-forming protein (viroporin), elicits the release of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumenal calcium into the cytoplasm of the infected cell. The increased cytoplasmic calcium activates a calcium signaling pathway involving calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK2) and 5′ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) to trigger autophagy. Rotavirus further manipulates autophagy membrane trafficking to transport viral ER-associated proteins to viroplasms, sites of viral genome replication and immature particle assembly. Transport of viral proteins to viroplasms is required for assembly of infectious virus. Thus, NSP4, a multifunctional viral protein known to regulate infectious particle assembly, also modulates membrane trafficking by orchestrating the activation of autophagy to benefit viral replication. 相似文献

Viruses employ a variety of strategies to usurp and control cellular activities through the orchestrated recruitment of macromolecules to specific cytoplasmic or nuclear compartments. Formation of such specialized virus-induced cellular microenvironments, which have been termed viroplasms, virus factories, or virus replication centers, complexes, or compartments, depends on molecular interactions between viral and cellular factors that participate in viral genome expression and replication and are in some cases associated with sites of virion assembly. These virus-induced compartments function not only to recruit and concentrate factors required for essential steps of the viral replication cycle but also to control the cellular mechanisms of antiviral defense. In this review, we summarize characteristic features of viral replication compartments from different virus families and discuss similarities in the viral and cellular activities that are associated with their assembly and the functions they facilitate for viral replication. 相似文献

Rotavirus morphogenesis starts in intracellular inclusion bodies called viroplasms. RNA replication and packaging are mediated by several viral proteins, of which VP1, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and VP2, the core scaffolding protein, were shown to be sufficient to provide replicase activity in vitro. In vivo, however, viral replication complexes also contain the nonstructural proteins NSP2 and NSP5, which were shown to be essential for replication, to interact with each other, and to form viroplasm-like structures (VLS) when coexpressed in uninfected cells. In order to gain a better understanding of the intermediates formed during viral replication, this work focused on the interactions of NSP5 with VP1, VP2, and NSP2. We demonstrated a strong interaction of VP1 with NSP5 but only a weak one with NSP2 in cotransfected cells in the absence of other viral proteins or viral RNA. By contrast, we failed to coimmunoprecipitate VP2 with anti-NSP5 antibodies or NSP5 with anti-VP2 antibodies. We constructed a tagged form of VP1, which was found to colocalize in viroplasms and in VLS formed by NSP5 and NSP2. The tagged VP1 was able to replace VP1 structurally by being incorporated into progeny viral particles. When applying anti-tag-VP1 or anti-NSP5 antibodies, coimmunoprecipitation of tagged VP1 with NSP5 was found. Using deletion mutants of NSP5 or different fragments of NSP5 fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein, we identified the 48 C-terminal amino acids as the region essential for interaction with VP1. 相似文献

Here we show that the ubiquitin-proteasome system is required for the efficient replication of rotavirus RRV in MA104 cells. The proteasome inhibitor MG132 decreased the yield of infectious virus under conditions where it severely reduces the synthesis of not only viral but also cellular proteins. Addition of nonessential amino acids to the cell medium restored both viral protein synthesis and cellular protein synthesis, but the production of progeny viruses was still inhibited. In medium supplemented with nonessential amino acids, we showed that MG132 does not affect rotavirus entry but inhibits the replication of the viral genome. It was also shown that it prevents the efficient incorporation into viroplasms of viral polymerase VP1 and the capsid proteins VP2 and VP6, which could explain the inhibitory effect of MG132 on genome replication and infectious virus yield. We also showed that ubiquitination is relevant for rotavirus replication since the yield of rotavirus progeny in cells carrying a temperature-sensitive mutation in the E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme was reduced at the restrictive temperature. In addition, overexpression of ubiquitin in MG132-treated MA104 cells partially reversed the effect of the inhibitor on virus yield. Altogether, these data suggest that the ubiquitin-proteasome (UP) system has a very complex interaction with the rotavirus life cycle, with both the ubiquitination and proteolytic activities of the system being relevant for virus replication. 相似文献

Rotaviruses, nonenveloped viruses presenting a distinctive triple-layered particle architecture enclosing a segmented double-stranded RNA genome, exhibit a unique morphogenetic pathway requiring the formation of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies called viroplasms in a process involving the nonstructural viral proteins NSP5 and NSP2. In these structures the concerted packaging and replication of the 11 positive-polarity single-stranded RNAs take place to generate the viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genomic segments. Rotavirus infection is a leading cause of gastroenteritis-associated severe morbidity and mortality in young children, but no effective antiviral therapy exists. Herein we investigate the antirotaviral activity of the thiazolide anti-infective nitazoxanide and reveal a novel mechanism by which thiazolides act against rotaviruses. Nitazoxanide and its active circulating metabolite, tizoxanide, inhibit simian A/SA11-G3P[2] and human Wa-G1P[8] rotavirus replication in different types of cells with 50% effective concentrations (EC50s) ranging from 0.3 to 2 μg/ml and 50% cytotoxic concentrations (CC50s) higher than 50 μg/ml. Thiazolides do not affect virus infectivity, binding, or entry into target cells and do not cause a general inhibition of viral protein expression, whereas they reduce the size and alter the architecture of viroplasms, decreasing rotavirus dsRNA formation. As revealed by protein/protein interaction analysis, confocal immunofluorescence microscopy, and viroplasm-like structure formation analysis, thiazolides act by hindering the interaction between the nonstructural proteins NSP5 and NSP2. Altogether the results indicate that thiazolides inhibit rotavirus replication by interfering with viral morphogenesis and may represent a novel class of antiviral drugs effective against rotavirus gastroenteritis. 相似文献

Rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in children worldwide. Early stages of rotavirus assembly in infected cells occur in viroplasms. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that viroplasms associate with lipids and proteins (perilipin A, ADRP) characteristic of lipid droplets (LDs). LD-associated proteins were also found to colocalize with viroplasms containing a rotaviral NSP5-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) fusion protein and with viroplasm-like structures in uninfected cells coexpressing viral NSP2 and NSP5. Close spatial proximity of NSP5-EGFP and cellular perilipin A was confirmed by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Viroplasms appear to recruit LD components during the time course of rotavirus infection. NSP5-specific siRNA blocked association of perilipin A with NSP5 in viroplasms. Viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), NSP5, and perilipin A cosedimented in low-density gradient fractions of rotavirus-infected cell extracts. Chemical compounds interfering with LD formation (isoproterenol plus isobutylmethylxanthine; triacsin C) decreased the number of viroplasms and inhibited dsRNA replication and the production of infectious progeny virus; this effect correlated with significant protection of cells from virus-associated cytopathicity. Rotaviruses represent a genus of another virus family utilizing LD components for replication, pointing at novel therapeutic targets for these pathogens.Rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children, producing a high burden of disease worldwide and over 600,000 deaths per annum, mainly in developing countries (43). Recently, two live attenuated rotavirus vaccines (49, 58) have been licensed in various countries, and their widespread use in universal mass vaccination programs is being implemented (55).Rotaviruses form a genus of the Reoviridae family. They contain a genome of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) encoding six structural proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, VP4, VP6, and VP7) and six nonstructural proteins (NSP1 to NSP6). After entry into the host cell the outer layer of the triple-layered particles (TLPs; infectious virions) is removed in endocytic vesicles, and the resulting double-layered particles (DLPs) actively transcribe mRNAs from the 11 RNA segments and release them into the cytoplasm. The mRNAs are translated into proteins but also act as templates for dsRNA synthesis (RNA replication). The early stages of viral morphogenesis and viral RNA replication occur in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies termed “viroplasms.” Partially assembled DLPs are released from viroplasms and receive their outer layer in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), forming TLPs (for details, see Estes and Kapikian [20]).The rotavirus nonstructural proteins NSP2 and NSP5 are major components of viroplasms (20, 47). These two proteins alone are sufficient to induce the formation of viroplasm-like structures (VLS) (21). Blocking of either NSP2 or NSP5 in rotavirus-infected cells significantly reduces viroplasm formation and the production of infectious viral progeny (11, 54, 57). Until now, host cell proteins involved in viroplasm formation have not been identified.Morphological similarities between viroplasms and lipid droplets (LDs) prompted us to investigate their relationship. Both structures have phosphoproteins (NSP5 and perilipin A, respectively) inserted on their surface in ringlike shapes (16, 34). LDs are intracellular organelles involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. They consist of a neutral lipid core surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer containing LD-associated proteins; those include proteins of the PAT family consisting of perilipin, adipophilin (adipose differentiation-related protein [ADRP]), and TIP-47 (9, 37). Lipolysis from LDs is regulated by hormones such as catecholamines, which trigger the phosphorylation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and perilipin A and induce LD fragmentation. Incubating adipocytes with the β-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) activates this pathway (27, 34). LD formation can also be blocked by triacsin C, a specific inhibitor of long chain acyl coenzyme A synthetases (30, 39).We demonstrate here that rotavirus viroplasms colocalize with the LD-associated proteins perilipin A and ADRP and also with the lipids of LDs. These interactions appear to be required for the formation of functional viroplasms and the production of infectious viral progeny, since compounds dispersing LDs or blocking LD formation significantly decrease the number and size of viroplasms and the amount of infectious progeny. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest a critical role of LDs in rotavirus replication. 相似文献

Rotavirus is a nonenveloped virus with a three-layered capsid. The inner layer, made of VP2, encloses the genomic RNA and two minor proteins, VP1 and VP3, with which it forms the viral core. Core assembly is coupled with RNA viral replication and takes place in definite cellular structures termed viroplasms. Replication and encapsidation mechanisms are still not fully understood, and little information is available about the intermolecular interactions that may exist among the viroplasmic proteins. NSP2 and NSP5 are two nonstructural viroplasmic proteins that have been shown to interact with each other. They have also been found to be associated with precore replication intermediates that are precursors of the viral core. In this study, we show that NSP5 interacts with VP2 in infected cells. This interaction was demonstrated with recombinant proteins expressed from baculovirus recombinants or in bacterial systems. NSP5-VP2 interaction also affects the stability of VP6 bound to VP2 assemblies. The data presented showed evidence, for the first time, of an interaction between VP2 and a nonstructural rotavirus protein. Published data and the interaction demonstrated here suggest a possible role for NSP5 as an adapter between NSP2 and the replication complex VP2-VP1-VP3 in core assembly and RNA encapsidation, modulating the role of NSP2 as a molecular motor involved in the packaging of viral mRNA. 相似文献

Rotavirus (RV) replication occurs in cytoplasmic inclusions called viroplasms whose formation requires the interactions of RV proteins NSP2 and NSP5; however, the specific role(s) of NSP2 in viroplasm assembly remains largely unknown. To study viroplasm formation in the context of infection, we characterized two new monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for NSP2. These MAbs show high-affinity binding to NSP2 and differentially recognize distinct pools of NSP2 in RV-infected cells; a previously unrecognized cytoplasmically dispersed NSP2 (dNSP2) is detected by an N-terminal binding MAb, and previously known viroplasmic NSP2 (vNSP2) is detected by a C-terminal binding MAb. Kinetic experiments in RV-infected cells demonstrate that dNSP2 is associated with NSP5 in nascent viroplasms that lack vNSP2. As viroplasms mature, dNSP2 remains in viroplasms, and the amount of diffuse cytoplasmic dNSP2 increases. vNSP2 is detected in increasing amounts later in infection in the maturing viroplasm, suggesting a conversion of dNSP2 into vNSP2. Immunoprecipitation experiments and reciprocal Western blot analysis confirm that there are two different forms of NSP2 that assemble in complexes with NSP5, VP1, VP2, and tubulin. dNSP2 associates with hypophosphorylated NSP5 and acetylated tubulin, which is correlated with stabilized microtubules, while vNSP2 associates with hyperphosphorylated NSP5. Mass spectroscopy analysis of NSP2 complexes immunoprecipitated from RV-infected cell lysates show both forms of NSP2 are phosphorylated, with a greater proportion of vNSP2 being phosphorylated compared to dNSP2. Together, these data suggest that dNSP2 interacts with viral proteins, including hypophosphorylated NSP5, to initiate viroplasm formation, while viroplasm maturation includes phosphorylation of NSP5 and vNSP2. 相似文献

NSP5 (NS26), the product of rotavirus gene 11, is a phosphoprotein whose role in the virus replication cycle is unknown. To gain further insight into its function, we obtained monoclonal antibodies against the baculovirus-expressed protein. By immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting experiments, we showed that (i) NSP5 appears in many different phosphorylated forms in rotavirus-infected cells; (ii) immunoprecipitated NSP5 from rotavirus-infected cells can be phosphorylated in vitro by incubation with ATP; (iii) NSP5, produced either by transient transfection of rotavirus gene 11 or by infection by gene 11 recombinant vaccinia virus or baculovirus, can be phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro; (iv) NSP5 expressed in Escherichia coli is phosphorylated in vitro, and thus NSP5 is a potential protein kinase; and (v) NSP5 forms dimers and interacts with NSP2. The intracellular localization of NSP5 in the course of rotavirus infection and after transient expression in COS7 cells has also been investigated. In rotavirus-infected cells, NSP5 is localized in viroplasms, but it is widespread throughout the cytoplasm of transfected COS7 cells. NSP5 produced by transfected COS7 cells did not acquire the multiphosphorylated forms observed in rotavirus-infected COS7 cells. Thus, there is a tight correlation between the localization of NSP5 in the viroplasms and its protein kinase activity in vivo or in vitro. Our results suggest that cellular or viral cofactors are indispensable to fully phosphorylate NSP5 and to reach its intracellular localization. 相似文献

Human adenovirus type 5 and temperature-sensitive mutants ts36, ts37, and ts125 induced cellular DNA synthesis in quiescent rodent cells at both permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. Cellular DNA synthesis induced by adenovirus type 5 or by serum required protein synthesis for both initiation and continuation, whereas viral DNA synthesis was not dependent upon continued protein synthesis once it was initiated. Both cellular and viral DNA replication was induced in adenovirus type 5-infected cells in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP at concentrations which inhibited induction by serum which suggested that some of the controls of DNA synthesis in serum-treated and virus-infected cells are different. After adenovirus infection of quiescent cells, there was a decrease in the number of cells with G1 DNA content and an increase in cells with G2 diploid and greater DNA contents. Thus, adenovirus type 5 induces a complete round of cellular DNA replication, but in some cells, it induces a second round without completion of a normal mitosis. These results suggest that adenovirus type 5 is able to alter cell growth cycle controls in a way which may be related to its ability to transform cells. 相似文献

Reovirus replication occurs in the cytoplasm of the host cell, in virally induced mini‐organelles called virus factories. On the basis of the serotype of the virus, the virus factories can manifest as filamentous (type 1 Lang strain) or globular structures (type 3 Dearing strain). The filamentous factories morphology is dependent on the microtubule cytoskeleton; however, the exact function of the microtubule network in virus replication remains unknown. Using a combination of fluorescent microscopy, electron microscopy, and tomography of high‐pressure frozen and freeze‐substituted cells, we determined the ultrastructural organisation of reovirus factories. Cells infected with the reovirus microtubule‐dependent strain display paracrystalline arrays of progeny virions resulting from their tiered organisation around microtubule filaments. On the contrary, in cells infected with the microtubule‐independent strain, progeny virions lacked organisation. Conversely to the microtubule‐dependent strain, around half of the viral particles present in these viral factories did not contain genomes (genome‐less particles). Complementarily, interference with the microtubule filaments in cells infected with the microtubule‐dependent strain resulted in a significant increase of genome‐less particle number. This decrease of genome packaging efficiency could be rescued by rerouting viral factories on the actin cytoskeleton. These findings demonstrate that the scaffolding properties of the microtubule, and not biochemical nature of tubulin, are critical determinants for reovirus efficient genome packaging. This work establishes, for the first time, a functional correlation between ultrastructural organisation of reovirus factories with genome packaging efficiency and provides novel information on how viruses coordinate assembly of progeny particles. 相似文献

The Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line is nonpermissive for vaccinia virus, and translation of viral intermediate genes was reported to be blocked (A. Ramsey-Ewing and B. Moss, Virology 206:984-993, 1995). However, cells are readily killed by vaccinia virus. A vaccinia virus-resistant CHO mutant, VV5-4, was isolated by retroviral insertional mutagenesis. Parental CHO cells, upon infection with vaccinia virus, die within 2 to 3 days, whereas VV5-4 cells preferentially survive this cytotoxic effect. The survival phenotype of VV5-4 is partial and in inverse correlation with the multiplicity of infection used. In addition, viral infection fails to shut off host protein synthesis in VV5-4. VV5-4 was used to study the relationship of progression of the virus life cycle and cell fate. We found that in parental CHO cells, vaccinia virus proceeds through expression of viral early genes, uncoating, viral DNA replication, and expression of intermediate and late promoters. In contrast, we detect only expression of early genes and uncoating in VV5-4 cells, whereas viral DNA replication appears to be blocked. Consistent with the cascade regulation model of viral gene expression, we detect little intermediate- and late-gene expression in VV5-4 cells. Since vaccinia virus is known to be cytolytic, isolation of this mutant therefore demonstrates a new mode of the cellular microenvironment that affects progression of the virus life cycle, resulting in a different cell fate. This process appears to be mediated by a general mechanism, since VV5-4 is also resistant to Shope fibroma virus and myxoma virus killing. On the other hand, VV5-4 remains sensitive to cowpox virus killing. To examine the mechanism of VV5-4 survival, we investigated whether apoptosis is involved. DNA laddering and staining of apoptotic nuclei with Hoechst 33258 were observed in both CHO and VV5-4 cells infected with vaccinia virus. We concluded that the cellular pathway, which blocks viral DNA replication and allows VV5-4 to survive, is independent of apoptosis. This mutant also provides evidence that an inductive signal for apoptosis upon vaccinia virus infection occurs prior to viral DNA replication. 相似文献

Viruses reshape the organization of the cell interior to achieve different steps of their cellular cycle. Particularly, viral replication and assembly often take place in viral factories where specific viral and cellular proteins as well as nucleic acids concentrate. Viral factories can be either membrane-delimited or devoid of any cellular membranes. In the latter case, they are referred as membrane-less replication compartments. The most emblematic ones are the Negri bodies, which are inclusion bodies that constitute the hallmark of rabies virus infection. Interestingly, Negri bodies and several other viral replication compartments have been shown to arise from a liquid-liquid phase separation process and, thus, constitute a new class of liquid organelles. This is a paradigm shift in the field of virus replication. Here, we review the different aspects of membrane-less virus replication compartments with a focus on the Mononegavirales order and discuss their interactions with the host cell machineries and the cytoskeleton. We particularly examine the interplay between viral factories and the cellular innate immune response, of which several components also form membrane-less condensates in infected cells. 相似文献
