Orf Virus 002 Protein Targets Ovine Protein S100A4 and Inhibits NF-?B Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Orf virus (ORFV), a member of Parapoxvirus, has evolved various strategies to modulate the immune responses of host cells. The ORFV-encoded protein ORFV002, a regulator factor, has been found to inhibit the acetylation of NF-?B-p65 by blocking phosphorylation of NF-?B-p65 at Ser(276) and also to disrupt the binding of NF-?B-p65 and p300. To explore the mechanism by which ORFV002 regulates NF-?B signaling, the understanding of ORFV002 potential binding partners in host cells is critical. In this study, ovine S100 calcium binding protein A4 (S100A4), prolyl endopeptidase-like (PREPL) and NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex 8 (NDUFA8) were found to interact with ORFV002 based on the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay using a cDNA library derived from primary ovine fetal turbinate cells (OFTu). GST pull-down and bidirectional co-immunoprecipitation assay results demonstrate that ORFV002 interacts with S100A4 directly. Following the pEGFP-ORFV002 (p002GFP) transfection, we found that cytoplasmic S100A4 translocates into the nucleus and co-localizes with ORFV002. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of ORFV002 on NF-?B signaling was significantly restored by S100A4 knock-down phenotype, suggesting that ovine S100A4 participates in the ORFV002-mediated NF-?B signaling. These data demonstrate that ORFV002 inhibits the NF-?B activation through its interaction with S100A4 along with its nucleus translocation.

Project description:Orf virus (ORFV) is a highly epitheliotropic parapoxvirus with zoonotic significance that induces proliferative lesions in the skin of sheep, goats, and humans. Several viral proteins carried by ORFV, including nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inhibitors, play important roles in hijacking host-associated proteins for viral evasion of the host innate immune response. However, the roles of proteins with unknown functions in viral replication and latent infection remain to be explored. Here, we present data demonstrating that the ORF120, an early-late ORFV-encoded protein, activates the NF-κB pathway in the early phase of infection, which implies that ORFV may regulate NF-κB through a biphasic mechanism. A DUAL membrane yeast two-hybrid system and coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed that the ORF120 protein interacts with Ras-GTPase-activating protein (SH3 domain) binding protein 1 (G3BP1). The overexpression of the ORF120 protein can efficiently increase the expression of G3BP1 and nuclear translocation of NF-κB-p65 in primary ovine fetal turbinate (OFTu) and HeLa cells. The knockdown of G3BP1 significantly decreased ORF120-induced NF-κB activation, indicating that G3BP1 is involved in ORF120-induced NF-κB pathway activation. A dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed that ORF120 could positively regulate the NF-κB pathway through the full-length G3BP1 or the domain of G3BP1RRM+RGG. In conclusion, we demonstrate, for the first time, that the ORF120 protein is capable of positively regulating NF-κB signaling by interacting with G3BP1, providing new insights into ORFV pathogenesis and a theoretical basis for antiviral drug design. IMPORTANCE As part of the host innate response, the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway plays a partial antiviral role in nature by regulating the innate immune response. Thus, the NF-κB pathway is probably the most frequently targeted intracellular pathway for subversion by anti-immune modulators that are carried by a wide range of pathogens. Various viruses, including poxviruses, carry several proteins that prepare the host cell for viral replication by inhibiting cytoplasmic events, leading to the initiation of NF-κB transcriptional activity. However, NF-κB activity is hypothesized to facilitate viral replication to a great extent. The significance of our research is in the exploration of the activation mechanism of NF-κB induced by the Orf virus (ORFV) ORF120 protein interacting with G3BP1, which helps not only to explain the ability of ORFV to modulate the immune response through the positive regulation of NF-κB but also to show the mechanism by which the virus evades the host innate immune response.
