N-glycosylation, a leading role in viral infection and immunity development.

ABSTRACT: N-linked protein glycosylation is an essential co-and posttranslational protein modification that occurs in all three domains of life; the assembly of N-glycans follows a complex sequence of events spanning the (Endoplasmic Reticulum) ER and the Golgi apparatus. It has a significant impact on both physicochemical properties and biological functions. It plays a significant role in protein folding and quality control, glycoprotein interaction, signal transduction, viral attachment, and immune response to infection. Glycoengineering of protein employed for improving protein properties and plays a vital role in the production of recombinant glycoproteins and struggles to humanize recombinant therapeutic proteins. It considers an alternative platform for biopharmaceuticals production. Many immune proteins and antibodies are glycosylated. Pathogen's glycoproteins play vital roles during the infection cycle and their expression of specific oligosaccharides via the N-glycosylation pathway to evade detection by the host immune system. This review focuses on the aspects of N-glycosylation processing, glycoengineering approaches, their role in viral attachment, and immune responses to infection.

Role of macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha in T-cell-mediated immunity to viral infection.

Project description:The immune response to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in mice lacking macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) was evaluated. Generation of virus-specific effector T cells is unimpaired in MIP-1alpha-deficient mice. Furthermore, MIP-1alpha is not required for T-cell-mediated virus control or virus-induced T-cell-dependent inflammation. Thus, MIP-1alpha is not mandatory for T-cell-mediated antiviral immunity.

Viral immunity. Transkingdom control of viral infection and immunity in the mammalian intestine.

Project description:Viruses that infect the intestine include major human pathogens (retroviruses, noroviruses, rotaviruses, astroviruses, picornaviruses, adenoviruses, herpesviruses) that constitute a serious public health problem worldwide. These viral pathogens are members of a large, complex viral community inhabiting the intestine termed "the enteric virome." Enteric viruses have intimate functional and genetic relationships with both the host and other microbial constituents that inhabit the intestine, such as the bacterial microbiota, their associated phages, helminthes, and fungi, which together constitute the microbiome. Emerging data indicate that enteric viruses regulate, and are in turn regulated by, these other microbes through a series of processes termed "transkingdom interactions." This represents a changing paradigm in intestinal immunity to viral infection. Here we review recent advances in the field and propose new ways in which to conceptualize this important area.

The role of MKK4 in T-cell development and immunity to viral infections.

Project description:The stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs)/c-Jun-N-terminal-kinases (JNK) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. These kinases are responsible for transducing cellular signals through a phosphorylation-dependent signaling cascade. JNK activation in immune cells can lead to a range of critical cellular responses that include proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. MKK4 is a SAPK that can activate both JNK1 and JNK2; however, its role in T-cell development and function has been controversial. Additionally, loss of either JNK1 or JNK2 has opposing effects in the generation of T-cell immunity to viral infection and cancer. We used mice with a conditional loss of MKK4 in T cells to investigate the in vivo role of MKK4 in T-cell development and function during lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection. We found no physiologically relevant differences in T-cell responses or immunity to either acute or chronic LCMV in the absence of MKK4.

Activation of TBK1 and IKKvarepsilon kinases by vesicular stomatitis virus infection and the role of viral ribonucleoprotein in the development of interferon antiviral immunity.

Project description:Mounting an immune response to a viral pathogen involves the initial recognition of viral antigens through Toll-like receptor-dependent and -independent pathways and the subsequent triggering of signal transduction cascades. Among the many cellular kinases stimulated in response to virus infection, the noncanonical IKK-related kinases TBK1 and IKKepsilon have been shown to phosphorylate and activate interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) and IRF-7, leading to the production of alpha/beta interferons and the development of a cellular antiviral state. In the present study, we examine the activation of TBK1 and IKKepsilon kinases by vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection in human lung epithelial A549 cells. We demonstrate that replication-competent VSV is required to induce activation of the IKK-related kinases and provide evidence that ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex of VSV generated intracellularly during virus replication can activate TBK1 and IKKepsilon activity. In TBK1-deficient cells, IRF-3 and IRF-7 activation is significantly reduced, although transcriptional upregulation of IKKepsilon following treatment with VSV, double-stranded RNA, or RNP partially compensates for the loss of TBK1. Biochemical analyses with purified TBK1 and IKKepsilon kinases in vitro demonstrate that the two kinases exhibit similar specificities with respect to IRF-3 and IRF-7 substrates and both kinases target serine residues that are important for full transcriptional activation of IRF-3 and IRF-7. These data suggest that intracellular RNP formation contributes to the early recognition of VSV infection, activates the catalytic activity of TBK1, and induces transcriptional upregulation of IKKepsilon in epithelial cells. Induction of IKKepsilon potentially functions as a component of the amplification mechanism involved in the establishment of the antiviral state.

Role of glycosylation of Notch in development.

Project description:The Notch pathway is one of the major signaling pathways required for proper development in metazoans. Notch activity is regulated at numerous levels, and increasing evidence reveals the importance of "protein glycosylation" (modification of Notch receptors with sugars) for its regulation. In this review we summarize the significance of the Notch pathway in development and the players responsible for its glycosylation, and then discuss the molecular mechanisms by which protein glycosylation may regulate Notch function.

Role of T Cells in Chikungunya Virus Infection and Utilizing Their Potential in Anti-Viral Immunity.

Project description:Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-borne alphavirus that causes hallmark debilitating polyarthralgia, fever, and rash in patients. T cell-mediated immunity, especially CD4+ T cells, are known to participate in the pathogenic role of CHIKV immunopathology. The other T cell subsets, notably CD8+, NKT, and gamma-delta (??) T cells, can also contribute to protective immunity, but their effect is not actuated during the natural course of infection. This review serves to consolidate and discuss the multifaceted roles of these T cell subsets during acute and chronic phases of CHIKV infection, and highlight gaps in the current literature. Importantly, the unique characteristics of skin-resident memory T cells are outlined to propose novel prophylactic strategies that utilize their properties to provide adequate, lasting protection.

New advances in CNS immunity against viral infection.

Project description:The central nervous system (CNS) is an immunologically specialized organ where restrictive barrier structures protect the parenchyma from inflammation and infection. This protection is important in preventing damage to non-renewable resident cell populations, such as neurons, responsible for functions ranging from executive to autonomic. Despite these barriers, the CNS can be infected through several entry portals, giving rise to meningitis and encephalitis. Following infection, resident cells recruit peripherally derived immune cells to sites of viral infection. In this review, we discuss recent advances in immune recruitment and entry at barrier structures as well as current immunotherapeutic strategies for the treatment of persistent viral infections.

Role of Angiopoietins in Development of Cancer and Neoplasia Associated with Viral Infection.

Project description:Angiopoietin/tyrosine protein kinase receptor Tie-2 signaling in endothelial cells plays an essential role in angiogenesis and wound healing. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is crucial for blood vessel maturation while angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), in collaboration with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), initiates angiogenesis by destabilizing existing blood vessels. In healthy people, the Ang-1 level is sustained while Ang-2 expression is restricted. In cancer patients, Ang-2 level is elevated, which correlates with poor prognosis. Ang-2 not only drives tumor angiogenesis but also attracts infiltration of myeloid cells. The latter rapidly differentiate into tumor stromal cells that foster tumor angiogenesis and progression, and weaken the host's anti-tumor immunity. Moreover, through integrin signaling, Ang-2 induces expression of matrix metallopeptidases (MMPs) to promote tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Many oncogenic viruses induce expression of Ang-2 to promote development of neoplasia associated with viral infection. Multiple Ang-2 inhibitors exhibit remarkable anti-tumor activities, further highlighting the importance of Ang-2 in cancer development.

Mammalian glycosylation in immunity.

Project description:Glycosylation produces a diverse and abundant repertoire of glycans, which are collectively known as the glycome. Glycans are one of the four fundamental macromolecular components of all cells, and are highly regulated in the immune system. Their diversity reflects their multiple biological functions that encompass ligands for proteinaceous receptors known as lectins. Since the discovery that selectins and their glycan ligands are important for the regulation of leukocyte trafficking, it has been shown that additional features of the vertebrate immune system are also controlled by endogenous cellular glycosylation. This Review focuses on the emerging immunological roles of the mammalian glycome.

The role of glycans and glycosylation in cell-type specific effects on viral infectivity

Project description:Our lab has previously used the Glyco v3 gene-chip to analyze RNA from human macrophages and T-cells, as part of a project examining the effect of cellular origin on the viral infectivity of HIV/SIV. Our experiments have led us to hypothesize that the different glycosylation pathways present in macrophages and T-cells result in the production of virions with differently glycosylated viral proteins and different glycans present on the virion surface. Furthermore, studies with glycosidases using the Glyco v3 gene-chip have indicated that these differences in the glycosylation profiles of virions derived from different cell types may influence viral infectivity. Here we used glyco v3 chips for identifying the enzymes active in the glycosylation pathways of 174xCEM and 293 cells, which are cell types commonly used in HIV and SIV research. These analyses will allow us a better understanding of the role of glycans and glycosylation in cell-type specific effects on viral infectivity because there is a much larger amount of data on virus derived from these cell types and we will be able to relate our studies more directly to previous work in our lab and other labs. RNA from 174xCEM and HEK293 cells, cell types commonly used in HIV and SIV research, was isolated and sent to Microarray Core (E). RNA was prepared in duplicate, totaling 4 samples. Samples were labeled and hybridized to the GLYCOv3 array and gene expression patterns were used to identify enzymes active in glycosylation pathways.
