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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Structure of a zinc-finger antiviral protein in complex with RNA reveals mechanism for selective targeting of CG-rich viral sequences

Project description:Infection of animal cells by many viruses is detected and countered by a variety of means, including recognition of non-self nucleic acids. The zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP) depletes cytoplasmic RNA that is recognized as foreign in mammalian cells by virtue of its elevated CG dinucleotide content compared to endogenous mRNAs. Here, we determined a crystal structure of a protein-RNA complex containing the N-terminal, four-zinc finger human (h) ZAP RNA binding domain (RBD), and a CG dinucleotide-containing RNA target. The structure reveals in molecular detail how hZAP is able to bind selectively to CG-rich RNA. Specifically, the four zinc fingers create a basic patch on the hZAP RBD surface. The highly basic second zinc finger contains a pocket that selectively accommodates CG dinucleotide bases. Structure guided mutagenesis, crosslinking-immunoprecipitation-sequencing assays, and RNA affinity assays show that the structurally defined CG-binding pocket is not required for RNA binding per se in human cells. However, the pocket is a crucial determinant of high affinity specific binding to CG-dinucleotide-containing RNA. Moreover, variations in the RNA binding specificity a panel of CG-binding pocket mutants quantitatively predict their selective antiviral activity against a CG-enriched HIV-1 strain. Overall, the hZAP RBD:RNA structure provides an atomic-level explanation for how ZAP selectively targets foreign, CG-rich RNA.

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.

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

Project description: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.

Bacteriophage antidefense genes that neutralize TIR and STING immune responses

Project description:Programmed cell suicide of infected bacteria, known as abortive infection (Abi), serves as a central immune defense strategy to prevent the spread of bacteriophage viruses and other invasive genetic elements across a population. Many Abi systems utilize bespoke cyclic nucleotide immune messengers generated upon infection to rapidly mobilize cognate death effectors. Here, we identify a large family of bacteriophage nucleotidyltransferases (NTases) which synthesize competitor cyclic dinucleotide (CDN) ligands and inhibit NAD-depleting TIR effectors activated through a linked STING CDN sensor domain (TIR-STING). Through a functional screen of NTase-adjacent phage genes, we uncover candidate inhibitors of host TIR-STING suicide signaling. Among these, we demonstrate that a virus MazG-like nucleotide pyrophosphatase, Atd1, depletes the starvation alarmone (p)ppGpp, revealing a role for the alarmone-activated host toxin MazF as a key executioner of TIR-driven abortive infection. Phage NTases and counter-defenses like Atd1 preserve host viability to ensure virus propagation, and may be exploited as tools to modulate TIR and STING immune responses.

The zinc finger antiviral protein ZAP destabilises viral transcripts and restricts human cytomegalovirus

Project description:Interferon-stimulated gene products (ISGs) play a crucial role in early infection control. The ISG zinc finger CCCH-type antiviral protein 1 (ZAP/ZC3HAV1) antagonises several RNA viruses by binding to CG-rich RNA sequences, whereas its effect on DNA viruses is largely unknown. Here, we decipher the role of ZAP in the context of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, a β-herpesvirus that is associated with high morbidity in immunosuppressed individuals and newborns. We show that expression of the two major isoforms of ZAP, the long (ZAP-L) and short (ZAP-S), is induced during HCMV infection and that both negatively affect HCMV replication. Transcriptome and proteome analyses demonstrated that the expression of ZAP decelerates the progression of HCMV infection. SLAM-sequencing revealed that ZAP restricts HCMV at early stages of infection by destabilising a distinct subset of viral transcripts with low CG content. In summary, this report provides evidence of an important antiviral role for ZAP in host defense against HCMV infection and highlights its differentiated function during DNA virus infection.

Transcription profiling of human ZAP-70+CD38+ and ZAP-70-CD38- B-cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients

Project description:B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is a heterogenous disease with a highly variable clinical course and analysis of ZAP-70 and CD38 expression on B-CLL cells allowed for identification of patients with good (ZAP-70-CD38-), intermediate (discordant expression of ZAP-70 and CD38) and poor (ZAP-70+CD38+) prognosis. In an attempt to identify a molecular basis that may underly this diverse clinical behaviour DNA microarray technology was employed to compare eight ZAP-70+CD38+ with eight ZAP-70-CD38- B-CLL cases. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression distinguising B-CLL from patient with good (samples 1 to 8) and poor prognosis (sample 9 to 16) and identified distinct classes of up- and down-regulated genes. Experiment Overall Design: To compare the transcriptosomes of good prognosis CLL cases (ZAP-70-CD38-) to poor prognosis cases (ZAP-70+CD38+), we purified CD19+ cells from peripheral blood samples by immunomagnetic isolation using MidiMacs, resulting in >95% purity of leukemic cells as detected by FACS analysis of CD19+CD5+ cells. The leukemic cells were freshly purified from untreated patients and RNA was directly isolated from fresh cells without further ex vivo treatment of the cells. Eight immunomagnetically purified peripheral blood derived ZAP-70+CD38+ CLL cases were compared with eight ZAP-70-CD38- B-CLL cases.

The catalytic activity of the kinase Zap-70 mediates basal signaling and negative feedback of the T cell receptor pathway

Project description:T cell activation must be properly regulated to ensure normal T cell development and effective immune responses to pathogens and transformed cells, while avoiding autoimmunity. Our knowledge of the mechanisms controlling the fine-tuning of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling and T cell activation is still incomplete. The Syk family kinase ζ chain–associated protein kinase of 70 kD (ZAP-70) plays a critical role as part of the TCR signaling machinery that leads to T cell activation. To elucidate potential feedback targets that are dependent on the kinase activity of ZAP-70, we performed a mass spectrometry–based phosphoproteomic study to quantify temporal changes in phosphorylation patterns after inhibition of ZAP-70 catalytic activity. Our results provide insights into the fine-tuning of the T cell signaling network before as well as after TCR engagement. The data indicate that the kinase activity of ZAP-70 stimulates negative feedback pathways that target the Src family kinase Lck and modulate the phosphorylation patterns of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of the CD3 and ζ-chains, as well as of downstream signaling molecules, including ZAP-70 itself. We developed a computational model that provides a unified mechanistic explanation for the experimental data on ITAM phosphorylation in wild-type cells, ZAP-70-deficient cells, and cells with inhibited ZAP-70 catalytic activity. This model describes the requirements of the ZAP-70 kinase–dependent negative feedback that influences Lck activation, and makes specific predictions for the order in which tyrosines in the ITAMs of TCR ζ-chains must be phosphorylated to be consistent with the experimental data.
