Efficient Dicer processing of virus-derived double-stranded RNAs and its modulation by RIG-I-like receptor LGP2

ABSTRACT: The function and mechanism of the interferon-regulated antiviral responses have been extensively characterized. Recent studies have demonstrated induction of antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) in somatic cells against several mammalian RNA viruses rendered incapable of RNAi suppression. However, little is known about Dicer-mediated production of virus-derived small-interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) in these cells active in the type I interferon response. Here we show that the dsRNA precursors of influenza vsiRNAs were processed more efficiently than cellular precursor microRNA hairpins by wild-type human Dicer expressed de novo in Dicer-knockout somatic cells. We found that infection of two strains of suckling mice with wild-type Nodamura virus (NoV) was associated with production of silencing-active vsiRNAs and direct sequestration of duplex vsiRNAs by its RNAi suppressor protein B2. Our findings from in vivo infection with Sindbis virus recombinants expressing NoV B2 or carrying a vsiRNA-targeted insert provide evidence for an antiviral function of the induced RNAi response. Interestingly, NoV infection induces expression of RIG-I-like receptor LGP2 to inhibit vsiRNA biogenesis and promote virulent infection in suckling mice. Our findings together reveal efficient Dicer processing of vsiRNA precursors in interferon-competent somatic cells and suckling mice in contrast to synthetic long dsRNA examined previously by in vitro dicing.

Project description:Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) are type members of Tritimovirus and Poacevirus genera, respectively, in the family Potyviridae, and are transmitted by wheat curl mites. Co-infection of these two viruses causes synergistic interaction with increased virus accumulation and disease severity in wheat. In this study, we examined the effects of synergistic interaction between WSMV and TriMV on endogenous small (s) RNAs and virus-specific small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) in susceptible (Arapahoe) and temperature-sensitive resistant (Mace) wheat cultivars at 27C and 18C. Single- and double-infections in wheat caused a shift in the profile of endogenous sRNAs from 24 nt being the most predominant in healthy plants to 21 nt in infected wheat. Additionally, we report high-resolution vsiRNA maps of WSMV and TriMV in singly- and doubly-infected wheat cultivars Arapahoe and Mace at 18C and 27C. Massive amounts of 21 and 22 nt vsiRNA reads were accumulated in Arapahoe at both temperatures and in Mace at 27C but not at 18C. The plus- and minus-sense vsiRNAs were distributed throughout the genomic RNAs in Arapahoe at both temperature regimens and in Mace at 27C, although some regions of genomic RNAs serve as hot-spots with an excessive number of vsiRNAs. The positions of vsiRNA peaks were conserved among wheat cultivars Arapahoe and Mace, suggesting that Dicer-like enzymes of susceptible and resistant wheat cultivars are similarly accessed the genomic RNAs of WSMV and TriMV. Additionally, several cold-spot regions were found in the genomes of TriMV and WSMV with no or a few vsiRNAs, indicating that certain regions of WSMV and TriMV genomes are not accessible to Dicer-like enzymes. The high-resolution map of endogenous and vsiRNAs from wheat cultivars synergistically infected with WSMV and TriMV at two temperature regimens form a foundation for understanding the virus-host interactions, effect of synergistic interactions on host defense mechanisms, and virus resistance mechanisms in wheat. Small RNA was sequenced from two wheat cultivars (Mace and Araphahoe), at two temperatures 18C and 27C, for healthy (control/uninfected), infected with wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), infected with Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV), and a double-infecttion of WSMV and TriMV.
