RNA features governing zinc finger antiviral protein sensitivity enable attenuated virus design

ABSTRACT: Synonymous recoding of viral genome can attenuate their replication, but can have pleiotropic effects, with multiple mechanisms contributing to attenuation. We set out to design recoded viral genomes whose attenuation was specific and conditional. The zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) recognizes CpG dinucleotides and targets CpG-rich RNAs for depletion, but RNA features such as CpG numbers, spacing and surrounding nucleotide composition that enable specific modulation by ZAP are undescribed. Using synonymously mutated HIV-1 genomes, we define several sequence features that govern ZAP sensitivity and stable attenuation. Using features defined using HIV-1, we then designed a mutant enterovirus A71 genome whose attenuation was also stable and strictly ZAP-dependent, both in cell culture and in mice. This conditionally attenuated enterovirus A71 elicited neutralizing antibodies that were protective against wild-type enterovirus 71 infection and disease. Elucidation of the determinants of ZAP sensitivity can thus enable the rational design of conditionally attenuated viral vaccines.

Inhibition of viral suppressor of RNAi proteins by designer peptides protects from enteroviral infection in vivo

Project description:RNA interference (RNAi) is an antiviral immunity conserved in diverse eukaryotes including mammals, while viruses encodes viral suppressors of RNAi (VSRs) as countermeasures. However, the physiological impact of RNAi on viral infection in mammals has not been fully assessed, and it also remains unknown whether antiviral RNAi can be therapeutically exploited. Here, we show that peptides designed to target enterovirus A71 (EV-A71)-encoded protein 3A, a well-characterized VSR, triggered an effective antiviral response. These VSR-targeting peptides, particularly ER-DRI, abrogated the VSR function of 3A, which enabled EV-A71-derived siRNA production and unlocked RNAi response that potently inhibited EV-A71 infection in mammals. ER-DRI treatment elicited a strong in vivo antiviral RNAi response that protected mice against lethal EV-A71 challenge. It also potently inhibited another enterovirus, Coxsackievirus-A16, dependently of RNAi. Our findings demonstrate that antiviral RNAi does have a physiologically important impact in mammals and targeting VSRs is a promising strategy for antiviral therapies.

Modulation of host gene expression by the zinc finger antiviral protein [CLIP-seq]

Project description:The zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) depletes non-self RNAs through recognition of their elevated CpG dinucleotide content. CpG dinucleotides are sparse in most endogenous mammalian mRNAs, but a subset might potentially be modulated by ZAP. While CpG frequency alone is insufficient to predict ZAP-regulation, we developed an algorithm using experimentally determined compositional features to predict which endogenous mRNAs may be ZAP-regulated. Using ZAP-knockout mice, we demonstrate that levels of many host mRNAs that are algorithmically predicted ZAP targets are indeed increased when ZAP is absent. ZAP is interferon-inducibel and we also identify genes that are downregulated by ZAP during an innate immune response. Many ZAP-regulated gene products are extracellular matrix or of nucleosome components, whose ZAP mediated control is conserved in human cells. Overall, we provide a new tool for the prediction of ZAP target genes and reveal host mRNAs that are ZAP-regulated.

Induced intra- and intermolecular template switching as a therapeutic mechanism against RNA viruses

Project description:RNAseq experiments of Enterovirus A71 wild type demonstrate that the pyrazine-carboxamide ribonucleotide stimulates catalyzed intra- and intermolecular template switching. These results suggest that pyrazine-2 carboxamide ribonucleotides do not induce lethal mutagenesis or chain termination, but function by promoting template switching and formation of defective viral genomes. We conclude that RdRp-catalyzed intra- and intermolecular template switching can be induced by pyrazine-carboxamide ribonucleotides, defining an additional mechanistic class of antiviral ribonucleotides with potential for broad-spectrum activity.

Enterovirus 3A protein disrupts endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis through interaction with GBF1

Project description:Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is a single-stranded, positive sense RNA virus causing endoplasmic reticulum stress to induce or modulate downstream signaling pathways known as the unfolded protein responses (UPR). The 3A protein of EV-A71 was identified as a major regulator of the UPR caused by infection with EV-A71. To identify the molecular pathways for the 3A protein to regulate the UPR, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) with RD cells expressing the 3A protein. Wild type or defective mutant of 3A protein that carried alanine substitutions of Ile8 or Ile10 (3A-I8A or -I10A) was expressed in the cells. The RNA-seq with cells expressing either WT or mutant 3A was performed.

CG-dinucleotide suppression enables antiviral defense targeting non-self RNA

Project description:Vertebrate genomes exhibit marked CG-suppression, that is lower than expected numbers of 5’-CG-3’ dinucleotides1. This feature is likely due to C-to-T mutations that have accumulated over hundreds of millions of years, driven by CG-specific DNA methyl transferases and spontaneous methyl-cytosine deamination. Remarkably, many RNA viruses of vertebrates that are not substrates for DNA methyl transferases mimic the CG-suppression of their hosts2-4. This striking property of viral genomes is unexplained4-6. In a synonymous mutagenesis experiment, we found that CG-suppression is essential for HIV-1 replication. The deleterious effect of CG dinucleotides on HIV-1 replication was cumulative, evident as cytoplasmic RNA depletion, and exerted by CG dinucleotides in both translated and non-translated exonic RNA sequences. A focused siRNA screen revealed that zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP)7 inhibited virion production by cells infected with CG-enriched HIV-1. Crucially, HIV-1 mutants containing segments whose CG-content mimicked random sequence were defective in unmanipulated cells, but replicated normally in ZAP-deficient cells. Crosslinking-immunoprecipitation-sequencing assays demonstrated that ZAP binds directly and selectively to RNA sequences containing CG dinucleotides. These findings suggest that ZAP exploits host CG-suppression to discriminate non-self RNA. The dinucleotide composition of HIV-1, and perhaps other RNA viruses, appears to have adapted to evade this host defense.
