The DEAD-Box RNA Helicase DDX1 Interacts with the Viral Protein 3D and Inhibits Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Replication.

ABSTRACT: Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) can infect domestic and wild cloven-hoofed animals. The non-structural protein 3D plays an important role in FMDV replication and pathogenesis. However, the interaction partners of 3D, and the effects of those interactions on FMDV replication, remain incompletely elucidated. In the present study, using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified a porcine cell protein, DEAD-box RNA helicase 1 (DDX1), which interacted with FMDV 3D. The DDX1-3D interaction was further confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation experiments and an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) in porcine kidney 15 (PK-15) cells. DDX1 was reported to either inhibit or facilitate viral replication and regulate host innate immune responses. However, the roles of DDX1 during FMDV infection remain unclear. Our results revealed that DDX1 inhibited FMDV replication in an ATPase/helicase activity-dependent manner. In addition, DDX1 stimulated IFN-? activation in FMDV-infected cells. Together, our results expand the body of knowledge regarding the role of DDX1 in FMDV infection.

Project description:Nonstructural protein 3A of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a partially conserved protein of 153 amino acids that is in most FMDVs examined to date, and it plays important roles in virus replication, virulence, and host range. To better understand the role of 3A during FMDV infection, we used coimmunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry to identify host proteins that interact with 3A in FMDV-infected cells. Here, we report that cellular vimentin is a host binding partner for 3A. The 3A-vimentin interaction was further confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation, glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull down, and immunofluorescence assays. Alanine-scanning mutagenesis indicated that amino acid residues 15 to 21 at the N-terminal region of the FMDV 3A are responsible for the interaction between 3A and vimentin. Using reverse genetics, we demonstrate that mutations in 3A that disrupt the interaction between 3A and vimentin are also critical for virus growth. Overexpression of vimentin significantly suppressed the replication of FMDV, whereas knockdown of vimentin significantly enhanced FMDV replication. However, chemical disruption of the vimentin network by acrylamide resulted in a significant decrease in viral yield, suggesting that an intact vimentin network is needed for FMDV replication. These results indicate that vimentin interacts with FMDV 3A and negatively regulates FMDV replication and that the vimentin-3A interaction is essential for FMDV replication. This study provides information that should be helpful for understanding the molecular mechanism of FMDV replication.IMPORTANCE Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) nonstructural protein 3A plays important roles in virus replication, host range, and virulence. To further understand the role of 3A during FMDV infection, identification of host cell factors that interact with FMDV 3A is needed. Here, we found that vimentin is a direct binding partner of FMDV 3A, and manipulation of vimentin has a negative effect on virus replication. We also demonstrated that amino acid residues 15 to 21 at the N-terminal region of the FMDV 3A are responsible for the interaction between 3A and vimentin and that the 3A-vimentin interaction is critical for viral replication since the full-length cDNA clone harboring mutations in 3A, which were disrupt 3A-vimentin reactivity, could not produce viable virus progeny. This study provides information that not only provides us a better understanding of the mechanism of FMDV replication but also helps in the development of novel antiviral strategies in the future.

Project description:The Picornaviridae is a large family of positive-sense RNA viruses that contains numerous human and animal pathogens, including foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). The picornavirus replication complex comprises a coordinated network of protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions involving multiple viral and host-cellular factors. Many of the proteins within the complex possess multiple roles in viral RNA replication, some of which can be provided in trans (i.e., via expression from a separate RNA molecule), while others are required in cis (i.e., expressed from the template RNA molecule). In vitro studies have suggested that multiple copies of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) 3D are involved in the viral replication complex. However, it is not clear whether all these molecules are catalytically active or what other function(s) they provide. In this study, we aimed to distinguish between catalytically active 3D molecules and those that build a replication complex. We report a novel nonenzymatic cis-acting function of 3D that is essential for viral-genome replication. Using an FMDV replicon in complementation experiments, our data demonstrate that this cis-acting role of 3D is distinct from the catalytic activity, which is predominantly trans acting. Immunofluorescence studies suggest that both cis- and trans-acting 3D molecules localize to the same cellular compartment. However, our genetic and structural data suggest that 3D interacts in cis with RNA stem-loops that are essential for viral RNA replication. This study identifies a previously undescribed aspect of picornavirus replication complex structure-function and an important methodology for probing such interactions further.Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is an important animal pathogen responsible for foot-and-mouth disease. The disease is endemic in many parts of the world with outbreaks within livestock resulting in major economic losses. Propagation of the viral genome occurs within replication complexes, and understanding this process can facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Many of the nonstructural proteins involved in replication possess multiple functions in the viral life cycle, some of which can be supplied to the replication complex from a separate genome (i.e., in trans) while others must originate from the template (i.e., in cis). Here, we present an analysis of cis and trans activities of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 3D. We demonstrate a novel cis-acting role of 3D in replication. Our data suggest that this role is distinct from its enzymatic functions and requires interaction with the viral genome. Our data further the understanding of genome replication of this important pathogen.
