Project description:Infection by viruses, including Herpes Simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), and cellular stresses cause widespread disruption of transcription termination (DoTT) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that, in HSV-1-infected cells, the viral immediate early factor ICP27 is necessary and sufficient for inducing DoTT. Mechanistically, ICP27 directly binds to the essential mRNA 3’ processing factor CPSF, induces the assembly of a dead-end 3’ processing complex, and blocks mRNA cleavage. Remarkably, ICP27 also acts as a sequence-dependent activator of mRNA 3’ processing for HSV-1 and a subset of host genes. Our results suggest that the bimodal activities of ICP27 play a key role in HSV-1-induced host shutoff and that CPSF is a common host factor targeted by multiple viruses. The mechanism described here may have implications for understanding other virus- and cell stress-mediated regulation of transcription termination.

Project description:Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) transcription is mediated by cellular RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Recent studies investigating how Pol II transcription of host genes is altered after HSV-1 are conflicting. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) studies suggest that Pol II is almost completely removed from host genes at 4 h postinfection (hpi), while 4-thiouridine (4SU) labeling experiments show that host transcription termination is extended at 7 hpi, implying that a significant amount of Pol II remains associated with host genes in infected cells. To address this discrepancy, we used precision nuclear run-on analysis (PRO-seq) to determine the location of Pol II to single-base-pair resolution in combination with quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis at 3 hpi. HSV-1 decreased Pol II on approximately two-thirds of cellular genes but increased Pol II on others. For more than 85% of genes for which transcriptional termination could be statistically assessed, Pol II was displaced to positions downstream of the normal termination zone, suggesting extensive termination defects. Pol II amounts at the promoter, promoter-proximal pause site, and gene body were also modulated in a gene-specific manner. qRT-PCR of selected RNAs showed that HSV-1-induced extension of the termination zone strongly correlated with decreased RNA and mRNA accumulation. However, HSV-1-induced increases of Pol II occupancy on genes without termination zone extension correlated with increased cytoplasmic mRNA. Functional grouping of genes with increased Pol II occupancy suggested an upregulation of exosome secretion and downregulation of apoptosis, both of which are potentially beneficial to virus production.IMPORTANCE This study provides a map of RNA polymerase II location on host genes after infection with HSV-1 with greater detail than previous ChIP-seq studies and rectifies discrepancies between ChIP-seq data and 4SU labeling experiments with HSV-1. The data show the effects that a given change in RNA Pol II location on host genes has on the abundance of different RNA types, including nuclear, polyadenylated mRNA and cytoplasmic, polyadenylated mRNA. It gives a clearer understanding of how HSV-1 augments host transcription of some genes to provide an environment favorable to HSV-1 replication.

Project description:These data files consist of Illumina next seq 500 sequencing data from precision nuclear run-on and global nuclear run-on experiments conducted with human epithelial Hep2 cells that have been infected with human herpes simplex virus-1 (F) strain mutants. The results of these studies suggest that ICP22 is necessary for reducing Pol II processivity on the viral genome which results in its maintenance on the viral genome over the course of infection. While human reads continued to decrease over the time course of infection in the repair virus, this did not occur in the ICP22 deletion virus where over time the number of human reads increased over the time course of infection rather than decreasing. The effects of ICP22 deletion were separable from inhibiting HSV-1 DNA replication to the extent that ICP22 deletion resulted in a decrease in Pol levels only at 6 hpi and not at 3 hpi as was observed in the mutant

Project description:We report the PRO-seq data generated from our analysis of RNA Polymerase II location along the HSV-1 genome at 3 and 6 hpi. This data set includes analysis of the 3hr time point in cells infected in the presence of cycloheximide and the 6hr time point in cells infected in the presence of phosphonoacetic acid, flavopiridol and acyclovir. We have compared the data set to a cytoplasmic mRNA seq data set which is also included. This consisted of polyadenylated, cytoplasmic RNA analyzed at 3 and 6 hpi post infection. Here we are depositing the results from this analysis providing the raw data sequence files along with our bigwig files produced when aligning it to a concatenated genome file containing the drosophila dm3 genome build, the human hg38 genome build, and the included HSV-1 (F-strain) genome with the external repeat sequences deleted. This data provides a nucletide-resolution map of RNA Pol II location in all of the described conditions. By comparing differences between cytoplasmic mRNA production and between Pol II occupancy patterns between samples, we have been able to discern that HSV-1 transcription is a highly regulated process, that involves mechanisms downstream of RNA Pol II recruitment to a HSV-1 promoter region.

Project description:This study was undertaken to further clarify the roles of HSV-1 immediately early (IE) genes ICP4, ICP0, and ICP22 in early viral transcription. Precision nuclear Run On followed by deep Sequencing (PRO-Seq) was used to identify sites of Pol activity to high resolution on the genomes of HSV-1 viruses bearing mutations in a0, a4 or a22/US1, and corresponding viruses in which these loci were genetically restored. The results indicated that prior to initiating activation of transcription, IE genes first mediate transcriptional repression.

Project description:Chronic viral infections are difficult to treat and new approaches, particularly those involving enhancing immune responses are needed. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) establishes latency, reactivates frequently, and breakthrough reactivation can occur despite suppressive antiviral therapy. Virus-specific T cells are important to control HSV, and activated T cells require increased metabolism of glutamine for their proliferation. We found that treatment of HSV-1 latently infected mice and HSV-2 infected guinea pigs with supplemental oral glutamine reduced virus reactivation. Transcriptome analysis of mice treated with glutamine showed that several interferon (IFN)-γ inducible genes were upregulated. Unlike wild-type mice, supplemental glutamine was ineffective in reducing the rate of HSV-1 reactivation in IFN-γ knock-out mice. Mice treated with glutamine had higher numbers of HSV-specific IFN-γ producing CD8 T cells in latently infected ganglia. Thus, glutamine may enhance the IFN-γ-associated immune response and reduce the rate of reactivation of latent virus infection.

Project description:Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a 152 Kb double stranded DNA alpha-herpesvirus, which establishes long life latent infection in sensory neurons. Most of our knowledge regarding HSV-1 latency comes from in vivo studies using small animal models, mainly rodents and rabbits, which are not naturally infected by HSV-1. Furthermore, these animal models do not fully recapitulate the species specific effects of human HSV-1 infection. Human cellular models utilize trigeminal ganglia removed from cadavers or, alternatively, neuron-like cells derived from cancerous cell lines that do not fully reflect effects on normal human neurons. This limitation poses the need to develop an in vitromodel to investigate molecular details of the mechanisms underlying quiescence and reactivation in human neurons. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) celltechnologies offer an unprecedented opportunity to generate unlimited supplies of neurons and the facility to manipulate such cells in vitro. In this study, we developed an in vitro HSV-1 infection model in human iPS-derived neurons, which displays the main hallmarks of latency defined in animal models and in humans. Our results show for the first time that: i) persistent infection cannot be established in neural progenitor cells (NPCs); ii) the ability of HSV-1 to establish persistent infection is extended to glutamatergic neurons, and not limited to sensory neurons; iii) in neuronal cultures persistently infected with HSV-1, viral genome is localized at the nuclear periphery; iv) HSV-1 acute infection reduces RNA editing at the GluRB site. These results highlight the importance of iPS-based platforms to elucidate unknown aspects of HSV-1 quiescence in human neurons. NPCs were 70-80% confluence
