Human Parvovirus B19 Utilizes Cellular DNA Replication Machinery for Viral DNA Replication.

ABSTRACT: Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection of human erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs) induces a DNA damage response and cell cycle arrest at late S phase, which facilitates viral DNA replication. However, it is not clear exactly which cellular factors are employed by this single-stranded DNA virus. Here, we used microarrays to systematically analyze the dynamic transcriptome of EPCs infected with B19V. We found that DNA metabolism, DNA replication, DNA repair, DNA damage response, cell cycle, and cell cycle arrest pathways were significantly regulated after B19V infection. Confocal microscopy analyses revealed that most cellular DNA replication proteins were recruited to the centers of viral DNA replication, but not the DNA repair DNA polymerases. Our results suggest that DNA replication polymerase ? and polymerase ? are responsible for B19V DNA replication by knocking down its expression in EPCs. We further showed that although RPA32 is essential for B19V DNA replication and the phosphorylated forms of RPA32 colocalized with the replicating viral genomes, RPA32 phosphorylation was not necessary for B19V DNA replication. Thus, this report provides evidence that B19V uses the cellular DNA replication machinery for viral DNA replication.IMPORTANCE Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection can cause transient aplastic crisis, persistent viremia, and pure red cell aplasia. In fetuses, B19V infection can result in nonimmune hydrops fetalis and fetal death. These clinical manifestations of B19V infection are a direct outcome of the death of human erythroid progenitors that host B19V replication. B19V infection induces a DNA damage response that is important for cell cycle arrest at late S phase. Here, we analyzed dynamic changes in cellular gene expression and found that DNA metabolic processes are tightly regulated during B19V infection. Although genes involved in cellular DNA replication were downregulated overall, the cellular DNA replication machinery was tightly associated with the replicating single-stranded DNA viral genome and played a critical role in viral DNA replication. In contrast, the DNA damage response-induced phosphorylated forms of RPA32 were dispensable for viral DNA replication.

Project description:Lytic infection of human parvovirus B19 (B19V) takes place exclusively in human erythroid progenitor cells of bone marrow and fetal liver, which disrupts erythropoiesis. During infection, B19V expresses three nonstructural proteins (NS1, 11-kDa, and 7.5-kDa) and two structural proteins (VP1 and VP2). While NS1 is essential for B19V DNA replication, 11-kDa enhances viral DNA replication significantly. In this study, we confirmed the enhancement role of 11-kDa in viral DNA replication and elucidated the underlying mechanism. We found that 11-kDa specially interacts with cellular growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) during virus infection and in vitro We determined a high affinity interaction between 11-kDa and Grb2 that has an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD ) value of 18.13 nM. In vitro, one proline-rich motif was sufficient for 11-kDa to sustain a strong interaction with Grb2. In consistence, in vivo during infection, one proline-rich motif was enough for 11-kDa to significantly reduce phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Mutations of all three proline-rich motifs of 11-kDa abolished its capability to reduce ERK activity and, accordingly, decreased viral DNA replication. Transduction of a lentiviral vector encoding a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting Grb2 decreased the expression of Grb2 as well as the level of ERK phosphorylation, which resulted in an increase of B19V replication. These results, in concert, indicate that the B19V 11-kDa protein interacts with cellular Grb2 to downregulate ERK activity, which upregulates viral DNA replication.IMPORTANCE Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection causes hematological disorders and is the leading cause of nonimmunological fetal hydrops during pregnancy. During infection, B19V expresses two structural proteins, VP1 and VP2, and three nonstructural proteins, NS1, 11-kDa, and 7.5-kDa. While NS1 is essential, 11-kDa plays an enhancing role in viral DNA replication. Here, we elucidated a mechanism underlying 11-kDa protein-regulated B19V DNA replication. 11-kDa is tightly associated with cellular growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) during infection. In vitro, 11-kDa interacts with Grb2 with high affinity through three proline-rich motifs, of which at least one is indispensable for the regulation of viral DNA replication. 11-kDa and Grb2 interaction disrupts extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling, which mediates upregulation of B19V replication. Thus, our study reveals a novel mechanism of how a parvoviral small nonstructural protein regulates viral DNA replication by interacting with a host protein that is predominately expressed in the cytoplasm.
