Tick-borne flavivirus exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs contain a double loop structure

ABSTRACT: Viruses from the Flaviviridae family contain human relevant pathogens that generate subgenomic noncoding RNAs during infection using structured exoribonuclease resistant RNAs (xrRNAs). These xrRNAs block progression of host cell’s 5′ to 3′ exoribonucleases. The structures of several xrRNAs from mosquito-borne and insect-specific flaviviruses reveal a conserved fold in which a ring-like motif encircles the 5′ end of the xrRNA. However, the xrRNAs found in tick-borne and no known vector flaviviruses have distinct characteristics and their 3-D fold was unsolved. Here, we verify the presence of xrRNAs in the encephalitis-causing tick-borne Powassan Virus. We characterize their secondary structure and obtain a mid-resolution map of one of these xrRNAs using cryo-EM, revealing a unique double loop ring element. Integrating these results with covariation analysis, biochemical data, and existing high-resolution structural information yields a model in which the core of the fold matches previously solved xrRNA fold, but the expanded double loop ring is remodeled upon encountering the exoribonuclease. These results are representative of a broad class of xrRNAs and reveal a conserved strategy of structure-based exoribonuclease resistance achieved through a unique topology across a viral family of importance to global health.

Tick-borne Pathogens Induce Differential Expression of Genes Promoting Cell Survival and Host Resistence in Ixodes ricinus Cells

Project description:There has been an emergence and expansion of tick-borne diseases in Europe, Asia and North America in recent years, including Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis, and human anaplasmosis. The primary tick vectors implicated are hard ticks of the Ixodes genera. Although much is known about the host response to these bacterial and viral pathogens, there is limited knowledge of the cellular responses to infection within the tick vector. The bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum (A. phagocytophilum), is able to bypass apoptotic processes in ticks, enabling infection to proceed. However, the tick cellular responses to infection with the flaviviruses tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and louping ill virus (LIV), which cause tick-borne encephalitis and louping ill respectively, are less clear. Infection of an Ixodes ricinus (I. ricinus) tick cell line with the viruses LIV and TBEV, and the bacterium A. phagocytophilum, identified activation of common and distinct cellular pathways. In particular, commonly-upregulated genes included those that modulate apoptotic pathways (HSP70), putative anti-pathogen genes (FKBP and XBL1), and genes that influence the tick innate immune response, including selective activation of toll genes. These data provide an insight into potentially key genes involved in the tick cellular response to viral or bacterial infection.

Zika Virus Noncoding sfRNA Sequesters Multiple RNA Binding Proteins and Impacts mRNA Decay and Splicing

Project description:Previous reports studying similar flavivirus infections (DENV, WNV, etc.) revealed an increase in both the abundance and stability of normally short-lived cellular mRNAs. This resulted from the stalling/repression of the major 5’-3’ host exoribonuclease XRN-1 on three-helix junction structures present in the 3’-UTR of insect-borne flaviviruses. Therefore we sought to identify the endogenous mRNA abundance and stability changes induced during early and late times following Zika virus infection (PRBRAC59) in human choriocarcinoma (JAR) cells.

Early immunologic events at the tick-host interface

Project description:Ixodes species ticks are competent vectors of tick-borne viruses including tick-borne encephalitis and Powassan encephalitis. Tick saliva has been shown to facilitate and enhance viral infection. This likely occurs by saliva-mediated modulation of host responses into patterns favorable for viral infection and dissemination. Because of the rapid kinetics of tick-borne viral transmission, this modulation must occur as early as tick attachment and initiation of feeding. In this study, the gene expression profile of cutaneous bite-site lesions created by uninfected ticks were analyzed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 hours after Ixodes scapularis nymphal tick attachment to discover host pathways or responses potentially important in tick-borne viral establishment.

Antiviral RNA interference in disease vector (Asian longhorned) ticks

Project description:Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are the most common illnesses transmitted by ticks, and the annual number of reported TBD cases continues to increase. The Asian longhorned tick, a vector associated with at least 30 human pathogens, is native to eastern Asia and recently reached the USA as an emerging disease threat. Newly identified tick-transmitted pathogens continue to be reported, raising concerns about how TBDs occur. Interestingly, tick can harbor pathogens without being affected themselves. For viral infections, ticks have their own immune systems that protect them from infection. Meanwhile, tick-borne viruses have evolved to avoid these defenses as they establish themselves within the vector. Here, we show in detail that infecting longhorned ticks with distinct arthropod-borne RNA viruses through two approaches natural blood feeding and injection, all induce the production of vsiRNAs. Dicer2-like homolog plays a role in regulating antiviral RNAi responses as knocking down of this gene enhanced viral replication. Furthermore, we demonstrate that tick antiviral RNAi responses are inhibited through expression heterologous VSR proteins in recombinant SINV. We identify both the virus and tick factors are critical components to understanding TBDs. Importantly, our study introduces a novel, in vivo virus-vector-mouse model system for exploring TBDs in the future.
