Prolyl hydroxylation is required for maturation and secretion of Zika virus non-structural protein 1
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mosquito-borne flaviviruses such as Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) have a high epidemic potential and are associated with a wide range of possible outcomes, from asymptomatic infections to severe complications. The flavivirus non-structural protein 1 (NS1), which can be membrane-bound as well as secreted from the cell, plays important roles in viral replication, immune evasion and pathogenesis. To identify the interactome of ZIKV NS1, we infected Huh7 and neural progenitor cells with recombinant ZIKV encoding a FLAG-tagged NS1 and analysed the binding partners with quantitative mass spectrometry. In both cell types, multiple prolyl hydroxylase enzymes were identified as NS1 interactors and mass spectrometry data showed that NS1 contains potential hydroxyproline residues at positions 181, 267 and 281, indicating that these enzymes are involved in post-translational modification of NS1. Chemical inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase enzymes reduced ZIKV RNA levels and titers, as well as NS1 glycosylation, plasma membrane localization and secretion. Mutagenesis of the proline residue at position 281 moderately impaired proper expression of NS1, although viral replication was unaffected. In contrast, substituting proline at position 267 strongly dysregulated NS1 expression and reversions to the wild-type sequence were observed already after passage 1, suggesting that this mutation leads to severe replication defects. Our results identify prolyl hydroxylation as an essential post-translational modification of ZIKV NS1.
