Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and RNA helicases (RLHs) are important cell sensors involved in the immunological control of viral infections through production of type I interferon (IFN). The impact of a deficiency in the TRIF and IPS-1 adaptor proteins, respectively, implicated in TLR3 and RLH signaling pathways, was investigated during herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis. TRIF−/−, IPS-1−/−, and C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice were infected intranasally with 7.5 × 105 PFU of HSV-1. Mice were monitored for neurological signs and survival over 20 days. Groups of mice were sacrificed on days 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 postinfection for determination of brain viral replication by quantitative PCR (qPCR), plaque assay, and immunohistochemistry and for alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β) levels and phosphorylation of interferon regulatory factors 3 and 7 (IRF-3 and -7) in brain homogenates by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting, respectively. TRIF−/− and IPS-1−/− mice had higher mortality rates than WT mice (P = 0.02 and P = 0.09, respectively). Viral antigens were more disseminated throughout the brain, correlating with a significant increase in brain viral load for TRIF−/− (days 5 to 9) and IPS-1−/− (days 7 and 9) mice compared to results for the WT. IFN-β production was reduced in brain homogenates of TRIF−/− and IPS-1−/− mice on day 5 compared to results for the WT, whereas IFN-α levels were increased on day 7 in TRIF−/− mice. Phosphorylation levels of IRF-3 and IRF-7 were decreased in TRIF−/− and IPS-1−/− mice, respectively. These data suggest that both the TRIF and IPS-1 signaling pathways are important for the control of HSV replication in the brain and survival through IFN-β production. 相似文献

Viruses are strictly dependent on cells to propagate and many incorporate host proteins in their viral particles, but the significance of this incorporation is poorly understood. Recently, we performed the first comprehensive characterization of the mature herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in which up to 49 distinct cellular proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. In the present study, we sought to identify if these cellular factors are relevant for the HSV-1 life cycle. To this end, we performed a small interfering RNA functional screen and found that 15 of these host proteins altered HSV-1 proliferation in cell culture, without any significant effect on cell viability. Moreover, the siRNA used had no negative consequences for Adenovirus type 5 propagation (with one exception) indicating that the modulation was specific for HSV-1 and not merely due to unhealthy cells. The positive host proteins include several Rab GTPases and other intracellular transport components as well as proteins involved in signal transduction, gene regulation and immunity. Remarkably, in most cases when virions were depleted for one of the above proteins, they replicated more poorly in subsequent infections in wild type cells. This highlights for the first time that both the cellular and virion-associated pools of many of these proteins actively contribute to viral propagation. Altogether, these findings underscore the power and biological relevance of combining proteomics and RNA interference to identify novel host-pathogen interactions. 相似文献

We demonstrate that novel bat HL17NL10 and HL18NL11 influenza virus NS1 proteins are effective interferon antagonists but do not block general host gene expression. Solving the RNA-binding domain structures revealed the canonical NS1 symmetrical homodimer, and RNA binding required conserved basic residues in this domain. Interferon antagonism was strictly dependent on RNA binding, and chimeric bat influenza viruses expressing NS1s defective in this activity were highly attenuated in interferon-competent cells but not in cells unable to establish antiviral immunity. 相似文献

Using a combination of gene-targeted mice and neutralizing antibodies, we showed that interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IL-18 are important in the innate control of genital herpes simplex virus type 2 infection but were not found to be critical, either singly or in combination, for the development of a protective gamma interferon-mediated immune response. 相似文献

Intercellular spaces are often the first sites invaded by pathogens. In the spaces of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-infected and necrotic lesion-forming tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves, we found that an inducer for acidic pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins was accumulated. The induction activity was recovered in gel-filtrated fractions of low molecular mass with a basic nature, into which authentic spermine (Spm) was eluted. We quantified polyamines in the intercellular spaces of the necrotic lesion-forming leaves and found 20-fold higher levels of free Spm than in healthy leaves. Among several polyamines tested, exogenously supplied Spm induced acidic PR-1 gene expression. Immunoblot analysis showed that Spm treatment increased not only acidic PR-1 but also acidic PR-2, PR-3, and PR-5 protein accumulation. Treatment of healthy tobacco leaves with salicylic acid (SA) caused no significant increase in the level of endogenous Spm, and Spm did not increase the level of endogenous SA, suggesting that induction of acidic PR proteins by Spm is independent of SA. The size of TMV-induced local lesions was reduced by Spm treatment. These results indicate that Spm accumulates outside of cells after lesion formation and induces both acidic PR proteins and resistance against TMV via a SA-independent signaling pathway. 相似文献

In vivo uncoating of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was studied. As Shaw had reported, initiation of uncoating reaction takes place very efficiently. Coat protein is removed from the virus as a peptide which is precipitable with trichloroacetic acid. Short rod particles with partly exposed RNA are thus formed. Further uncoating to coat protein-free TMV-RNA (28S) seems to take place with very low efficiency which is comparable to that of formation of local lesions on the inoculated leaf. From the data on the intracellular distribution of these products of uncoating reaction, mechanisms and significance of these reactions are discussed. 相似文献

Roles and Programming of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE Proteins during Turnip Mosaic Virus Infection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In eukaryotes, ARGONAUTE proteins (AGOs) associate with microRNAs (miRNAs), short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and other classes of small RNAs to regulate target RNA or target loci. Viral infection in plants induces a potent and highly specific antiviral RNA silencing response characterized by the formation of virus-derived siRNAs. Arabidopsis thaliana has ten AGO genes of which AGO1, AGO2, and AGO7 have been shown to play roles in antiviral defense. A genetic analysis was used to identify and characterize the roles of AGO proteins in antiviral defense against Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) in Arabidopsis. AGO1, AGO2 and AGO10 promoted anti-TuMV defense in a modular way in various organs, with AGO2 providing a prominent antiviral role in leaves. AGO5, AGO7 and AGO10 had minor effects in leaves. AGO1 and AGO10 had overlapping antiviral functions in inflorescence tissues after systemic movement of the virus, although the roles of AGO1 and AGO10 accounted for only a minor amount of the overall antiviral activity. By combining AGO protein immunoprecipitation with high-throughput sequencing of associated small RNAs, AGO2, AGO10, and to a lesser extent AGO1 were shown to associate with siRNAs derived from silencing suppressor (HC-Pro)-deficient TuMV-AS9, but not with siRNAs derived from wild-type TuMV. Co-immunoprecipitation and small RNA sequencing revealed that viral siRNAs broadly associated with wild-type HC-Pro during TuMV infection. These results support the hypothesis that suppression of antiviral silencing during TuMV infection, at least in part, occurs through sequestration of virus-derived siRNAs away from antiviral AGO proteins by HC-Pro. These findings indicate that distinct AGO proteins function as antiviral modules, and provide a molecular explanation for the silencing suppressor activity of HC-Pro. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that the UL17 gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is essential for virus replication. In this study, viral mutants incorporating either a lacZ expression cassette in place of 1,490 bp of the 2,109-bp UL17 open reading frame [HSV-1(ΔUL17)] or a DNA oligomer containing an in-frame stop codon inserted 778 bp from the 5′ end of the UL17 open reading frame [HSV-1(UL17-stop)] were plaque purified on engineered cell lines containing the UL17 gene. A virus derived from HSV-1(UL17-stop) but containing a restored UL17 gene was also constructed and was designated HSV-1(UL17-restored). The latter virus formed plaques and cleaved genomic viral DNA in a manner indistinguishable from wild-type virus. Neither HSV-1(ΔUL17) nor HSV-1(UL17-stop) formed plaques or produced infectious progeny when propagated on noncomplementing Vero cells. Furthermore, genomic end-specific restriction fragments were not detected in DNA purified from noncomplementing cells infected with HSV-1(ΔUL17) or HSV-1(UL17-stop), whereas end-specific fragments were readily detected when the viruses were propagated on complementing cells. Electron micrographs of thin sections of cells infected with HSV-1(ΔUL17) or HSV-1(UL17-stop) illustrated that empty capsids accumulated in the nuclei of Vero cells, whereas DNA-containing capsids accumulated in the nuclei of complementing cells and enveloped virions were found in the cytoplasm and extracellular space. Additionally, protein profiles of capsids purified from cells infected with HSV-1(ΔUL17) compared to wild-type virus show no detectable differences. These data indicate that the UL17 gene is essential for virus replication and is required for cleavage and packaging of viral DNA. To characterize the UL17 gene product, an anti-UL17 rabbit polyclonal antiserum was produced. The antiserum reacted strongly with a major protein of apparent Mr 77,000 and weakly with a protein of apparent Mr 72,000 in wild-type infected cell lysates and in virions. Bands of similar sizes were also detected in electrophoretically separated tegument fractions of virions and light particles and yielded tryptic peptides of masses characteristic of the predicted UL17 protein. We therefore conclude that the UL17 gene products are associated with the virion tegument and note that they are the first tegument-associated proteins shown to be required for cleavage and packaging of viral DNA. 相似文献

The localization of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins inducedin tobacco leaves by treatment with potassium salicylate ora hypersensitive response to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infectionwas studied using immunochemical methods. Total PR protein levelsincreased with time after these treatments. The proportion ofPR proteins in the intercellular spaces to the total contentin the leaf discs rapidly rose in the later stage of the treatmentto about 75% on the 9th day after salicylate treatment and tomore than 80% on the 6th to 9th day after TMV inoculation. After5 days of salicylate treatment, the amounts of PR proteins inthe peeled leaf epidermis were two fold those in the mesophylltissue. Only five percent or less of the total PR proteins inthe epidermal and mesophyll tissues of salicylate-treated leaveswere detected in the isolated epidermal and mesophyll protoplasts.The sugar content in highly purified PR la, lb and lc was lessthan one mole of monosaccharide per mole of each protein. Theseresults show that the PR proteins are non-glycoproteins secretedinto the intercellular spaces. (Received January 16, 1987; Accepted July 14, 1987) 相似文献

Salicylic acid (SA) is a signal in systemic acquired resistance and an inducer of the alternative oxidase protein in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv Xanthi nc) cell suspensions and during thermogenesis in aroid spadices. The effects of SA on the levels of alternative oxidase protein and the pathogenesis-related 1a mRNA (a marker for systemic acquired resistance), and on the partitioning of electrons between the Cyt and alternative pathways were investigated in tobacco. Leaves were treated with 1.0 mM SA and mitochondria isolated at times between 1 h and 3 d after treatment. Alternative oxidase protein increased 2.5-fold within 5 h, reached a maximum (9-fold) after 12 h, and remained at twice the level of control plants after 3 d. Measurements of isotope fractionation of 18O by intact leaf tissue gave a value of 23% at all times, identical to that of control plants, indicating a constant 27 to 30% of electron-flow partitioning to the alternative oxidase independent of treatment with SA. Transgenic NahG tobacco plants that express bacterial salicylate hydroxylase and possess very low levels of SA gave a fractionation of 23% and showed control levels of alternative oxidase protein, suggesting that steady-state alternative oxidase accumulates in an SA-independent manner. Infection of plants with tobacco mosaic virus resulted in an increase in alternative oxidase protein in both infected and systemic leaves, but no increase was observed in comparably infected NahG plants. Total respiration rate and partitioning of electrons to the alternative pathway in virus-infected plants was comparable to that in uninfected controls. 相似文献

Historical reports indicate that Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) strain subgroup I is more prevalent than subgroup II in most parts of the world, but recent reports suggest that subgroup II isolates may be far more abundant than previously found in China. In order to evaluate the dominance of CMV subgroup I and subgroup II strains in co-infected tobacco plants, four isolates, NX and YQ in subgroup I, and ZL and AG in subgroup II, were tested in competition experiments. In these comparisons, the frequency of infection was assessed, and ratios between singly and doubly infected plants were calculated based on ELISA tests of tobacco leaves. In contrast to previous reports suggesting that subgroup I strains are usually more competitive than subgroup II strains in the field, the results from the present study indicate that the subgroup II ZL isolate was more competitive than the subgroup I YQ isolate, even though the ZL isolate caused milder symptoms than YQ in singly infected tobacco. In contrast, the subgroup I strains NX and YQ were more competitive than subgroup II AG. This information provides evidence for variation in the competitive abilities of subgroup II strains in tests with subgroup I strains, and suggests that direct competition during mixed infections may account in part for the recent spread of some subgroup II strains in China and elsewhere. 相似文献
