Cardol triene inhibits dengue infectivity by targeting kl loops and preventing envelope fusion.

ABSTRACT: Dengue virus causes a global burden that specific chemotherapy has not been established. A previous report suggested that anacardic acid inhibited hepatitis C virus infection. Here, we explored structure activity relationship of anacardic acid, cardanol, and cardol homologues with anti-DENV cellular infectivities. Cardol triene showed the highest therapeutic index at 29.07 with the CC50 and EC50 of 207.30?±?5.24 and 7.13?±?0.72?µM, respectively. Moreover, we observed that the more unsaturated the hydrocarbon tail, the higher the CC50s in all head groups. High CC50s were also found in HepG-2, THP-1, and HEK-293 cell lines where cardol triene CC50s were 140.27?±?8.44, 129.77?±?12.08, and 92.80?±?3.93?µM, respectively. Cardol triene expressed pan-dengue inhibition with the EC50s of 5.35 to 8.89?µM and kl loops of dengue envelope proteins were major targets. The strong binding energy at T48, E49, A50, P53, K128, V130, L135, M196, L198, Q200, W206, L207, I270, and L277 prevented cellular pH-dependent fusion. Zika virus kl loops were aligned in the closed position preventing cardol triene to bind and inhibit fusion and infectivity. This study showed for the first time that cardol triene had a potential for further development as anti-dengue inhibitors.

Project description:SERINC5 restricts nef-defective HIV-1 by affecting early steps of the virus life cycle. Distantly related retroviruses with a wide host range encode virulent factors in response to challenge by SERINC5. However, the evolutionary origins of this antiretroviral activity, its prevalence among the paralogs, and its ability to target retroviruses remain understudied. In agreement with previous studies, we found that four human SERINC paralogs inhibit nef-defective HIV-1, with SERINC2 being an exception. Here, we demonstrate that this lack of activity in human SERINC2 is associated with its post-whole-genome duplication (post-WGD) divergence, as evidenced by the ability of pre-WGD orthologs from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and flies and a post-WGD-proximate SERINC2 from coelacanths to inhibit the virus. Intriguingly, Nef is unable to counter coelacanth SERINC2, indicating that such activity was directed toward other retroviruses found in coelacanths (like foamy viruses). However, foamy virus-derived vectors are intrinsically resistant to the action of SERINC2, and we show that the foamy virus envelope confers this resistance by affecting its steady-state levels. Our study highlights an ancient origin of antiretroviral activity in SERINCs and a hitherto-unknown interaction with a foamy virus. IMPORTANCE SERINC5 constitutes a critical barrier to the propagation of retroviruses, as highlighted by parallel emergence of anti-SERINC5 activities among distant retroviral lineages. Therefore, understanding the origin and evolution of these host factors will provide key information about virus-host relationships that can be exploited for future drug development. Here, we show that SERINC5-mediated nef-defective HIV-1 infection inhibition is evolutionarily conserved. SERINC2 from coelacanth restricts HIV-1, and it was functionally adapted to target foamy viruses. Our findings provide insights into the evolutionary origin of antiretroviral activity in the SERINC gene family and uncover the role of SERINCs in shaping the long-term conflicts between retroviruses and their hosts.
