NONO detects the nuclear HIV capsid to promote cGAS-mediated innate immune activation

ABSTRACT: Detection of viruses by innate immune sensors induces protective antiviral immunity. The viral DNA sensor cGAS is necessary for detection of HIV by human dendritic cells and macrophages. However, synthesis of HIV DNA during infection is not sufficient for immune activation. The capsid protein, which associates with viral DNA, has a pivotal role in enabling cGAS-mediated immune activation. We now find that NONO is an essential sensor of the HIV capsid in the nucleus. NONO protein directly binds capsid with higher affinity for weakly pathogenic HIV-2 than highly pathogenic HIV-1. Upon infection, NONO is essential for cGAS activation by HIV and cGAS association with HIV DNA in the nucleus. NONO recognizes a conserved region in HIV capsid with limited tolerance for escape mutations. Detection of nuclear viral capsid by NONO to promote DNA sensing by cGAS reveals an innate strategy to achieve distinction of viruses from self in the nucleus.

cGAS maintains basal antiviral state

Project description:Upon recognition of aberrantly located DNA, the innate immune sensor cGAS activates STING/IRF-3-driven antiviral responses. Here we characterized the ability of a specific variant of the cGAS-encoding gene MB21D1, rs610913, to alter cGAS-mediated DNA sensing and viral infection. rs610913 is a frequent G>T polymorphism resulting in a P261H exchange in the cGAS protein. Data from the International Collaboration for the Genomics of HIV suggested that rs610913 nominally associates with HIV-1 acquisition in vivo. Molecular modeling of cGAS(P261H) hinted towards the possibility for an additional binding site for a potential cellular co-factor in cGAS dimers. However, cGAS(WT) or cGAS(P261H)-reconstituted THP-1 cGAS KO cells shared steady-state expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), as opposed to cells expressing the enzymatically inactive cGAS(G212A/S213A). Accordingly, cGAS(WT) and cGAS(P261H) cells were less susceptible to lentiviral transduction and infection with HIV-1, HSV-1, and Chikungunya virus as compared to cGAS KO- or cGAS(G212A/S213A) cells. Upon DNA challenge, innate immune activation appeared to be mildly reduced upon expression of cGAS(P261H) compared to cGAS(WT). Finally, DNA challenge of PBMCs from donors homozygously expressing rs610913 provoked a trend towards a slightly reduced type I IFN response as compared to PBMCs from GG donors. Taken together, the steady-state activity of cGAS maintains a base-line antiviral state rendering cells more refractory to ISG-sensitive viral infections. rs610913 failed to grossly differ phenotypically from the wild-type gene, suggesting that cGAS(P261H) and wild-type cGAS share a similar ability to sense viral infections in vivo.

Adenovirus prevents dsRNA formation by promoting efficient splicing of viral RNA

Project description:Eukaryotic cells recognize intracellular pathogens through pattern recognition receptors, including sensors of aberrant nucleic acid structures. Sensors of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) are known to detect replication intermediates of RNA viruses. It has been suggested that annealing of mRNA from symmetrical transcription of both top and bottom strands of DNA virus genomes can produce dsRNA during infection. Supporting this hypothesis, nearly all DNA viruses encode inhibitors of dsRNA-recognition pathways. However, direct evidence that DNA viruses produce dsRNA is lacking. Contrary to dogma, we show that the nuclear-replicating DNA virus adenovirus (AdV) does not produce detectable levels of dsRNA during infection. In contrast, abundant dsRNA is detected within the nucleus of cells infected with AdV mutants that lack the virus-directed ubiquitin ligase required for efficient processing of viral RNA. In the presence of nuclear dsRNA, the cytoplasmic dsRNA sensor PKR is relocalized and activated within the nucleus. Accumulation of viral dsRNA occurs in the late phase of infection, when unspliced viral transcripts form intron/exon base pairs between top and bottom strand transcripts. We propose that DNA viruses actively promote efficient splicing and mRNA processing to limit dsRNA formation, thus avoiding detection and restriction by host nucleic acid sensors.

Absence of cGAS-Mediated Type I IFN Responses in HIV-1-Infected T-Cells

Project description:The DNA sensor cGAS senses cytosolic DNA and catalyzes the production of the cyclicdinucleotide cGAMP, resulting in type I IFN responses. We addressed the functionality of cGAS-mediated DNA sensing in human and murine T-cells. Activated primary CD4+ T-cells expressed cGAS and responded robustly to plasmid DNA by upregulation of ISGs and release of bioactive interferon. In mouse T-cells, cGAS KO ablated sensing of plasmid DNA, and TREX1 KO enabled cells to sense short immunostimulatory DNA. Basal expression of IFIT1 and MX2 was downregulated and upregulated in cGAS KO and TREX1 KO T-cell lines, respectively, compared to parental cells. Despite their intact cGAS sensing pathway, human CD4+ T-cells failed to mount a reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor-sensitive immune response following HIV-1 infection. In contrast, infection of human T-cells with HSV-1 that is functionally deficient for the cGAS antagonist pUL41 (HSV-1ΔUL41N) resulted in a cGAS dependent type I IFN response. In accordance with our results in primary CD4+ T-cells, plasmid challenge or HSV-1ΔUL41N inoculation of representative T-cell lines provoked an entirely cGAS-dependent type I IFN response, including IRF3 phosphorylation and expression of ISGs. In contrast, no RT-dependent type I IFN response was detected following transduction of T cell lines with VSV-G-pseudotyped lentiviral or gammaretroviral particles. Together, T-cells are capable to raise a cGAS-dependent cell-intrinsic response to both plasmid DNA challenge or inoculation with HSV-1ΔUL41N. However, HIV-1 infection does not appear to trigger cGAS-mediated sensing of viral DNA in T-cells, possibly by revealing viral DNA of insufficient quantity, length, and/or accessibility to cGAS.

MX2 Viral Substrate Breadth and Inhibitory Activity Are Regulated by Protein Phosphorylation

Project description:Productive infection by human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) requires the import of viral replication complexes into the nuclei of infected cells. Myxovirus resistance 2 (MX2/MxB) blocks this step, halting nuclear accumulation of viral DNA and virus replication. Here, we identify positions in MX2 whose phosphorylation status reduces or enhances antiviral function (hypomorphic and hypermorphic variants, respectively). Importantly, hypermorphic mutant proteins not only increased inhibitory activity against wild-type HIV-1 but can also exhibit antiviral capabilities against HIV-1 capsid mutant viruses that are resistant to wild-type MX2. Furthermore, some of these proteins were also able to inhibit retroviruses that are insensi- tive to MX2. Therefore, we propose that phosphorylation comprises a major element of MX2 regulation and substrate determination.

Barrier-to-autointegration Factor 1 (BAF) Promotes Gammaherpesvirus Reactivation from Latency

Project description:Gammaherpesviruses, including Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), are DNA viruses that are globally associated with human cancers and establish lifelong latency in the human population. Detection of gammaherpesviral infection by the cGAS-STING innate immune DNA-sensing pathway is critical for suppressing viral reactivation from latency, a process that promotes viral pathogenesis and transmission. We report that Barrier-to-autointegration factor 1 (BAF)-mediated suppression of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway is necessary for reactivation of KSHV and EBV. We demonstrate a novel role for BAF in destabilizing cGAS expression and show that BAF expression in latently infected, reactivating, or uninfected cells leads to suppression of type I interferon-mediated antiviral responses and inhibition of viral replication. Furthermore, BAF overexpression resulted in decreased cGAS expression at the protein level. These results establish BAF as a key regulator of the lifecycle of gammaherpesviruses and a potential target for treating viral infections and malignancies.

Nuclear GFP ChIP-seq from bone marrow-derived dendritic cells of GFP-cGAS knock-In mice

Project description:Cytosolic DNA activates cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), an innate immune sensor pivotal in anti-microbial defense, senescence, auto-immunity and cancer. cGAS is considered a sequence-independent DNA sensor with limited access to nuclear DNA because of compartmentalization. However, the nuclear envelope is a dynamic barrier and cGAS is present in the nucleus. Here, we identify determinants of nuclear cGAS localization and activation. We show that nuclear-localized cGAS synthesizes cGAMP and induces innate immune activation of dendritic cells, but cGAMP levels are 200-fold lower than following transfection with exogenous DNA. Using cGAS ChIP-seq and a GFP-cGAS knock-in mouse, we find nuclear cGAS enrichment on centromeric satellite DNA, confirmed by imaging, and to a lesser extent with LINE elements. The non-enzymatic N-terminal domain of cGAS determines nucleo-cytoplasmic localization, enrichment on centromeres and activation of nuclear-localized cGAS. These results reveal a preferential functional association of nuclear cGAS with centromeres.

HIV-CRISPR screen of HIV-1 CA-P90A and CA-N74D mutant viruses with the PIKAHIV library

Project description:Illumina sequencing data used in HIV-CRISPR screen with an ISG-specific sgRNA library (PIKAHIV) to find genes that block infection by the N74D and P90A HIV-1 capsid mutant viruses in THP-1 monocytic cells. For more information on the library and approach see Ohainle et al. eLife 2018 (PMID: 30520725). All screens performed here were done in a clonal ZAP-KO cell line (ZAP may inhibit the HIV-CRISPR vector used in the screen). Here we screen the Cyclophilin A-binding deficient mutant P90A and the CPSF6-binding deficient mutant N74D together with a wild type HIV-1 virus. The N74D screen was performed both with IFN treatment and without. These two HIV-1 capsid mutant viruses are hypersensitive to the effects of IFN.

Identification of cGAS acetylation and phosphorylation

Project description:DNA derived from the genetic material of pathogens or from cellular DNA damage provides a molecular pattern that can be sensed by pattern-recognition receptors of the mammalian innate immune system. In recent years, the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) protein has been characterized as a primary cytosolic DNA sensor during infection with bacteria, DNA viruses, or retroviruses. While the role of cGAS in downstream immune signaling through STING-TBK1-IRF3 proteins is well-defined, regulatory mechanisms of cGAS activity, such as through post-translational modifications (PTMs), are still an active area of research. Here, we report a comprehensive characterization of cGAS phosphorylations and acetylations in three different cell types. Data-dependent proteomic analyses of immunoaffinity purified cGAS was performed in HEK293T cells under control and DNA-challenged conditions (N = 3 each) and human fibroblasts (HFF) cells under control and HSV-1 infected conditions (N = 4 each) to generate candidate cGAS PTM sites. Using parallel reaction monitoring, a total of 11 PTMs (4 phosphorylations and 7 acetylations) were validated in HEK293T, HFF, and THP-1 cells. Of these, 3 phosphorylations and 5 acetylations have not been previously identified. The functions of these modifications were by generating a series of mutants and measuring cGAS-dependent apoptotic and immune signaling activities.
