Endogenous pull-downs of human proteins ATP6V1A and AHNAK to validate interactions with influenza A virus proteins M2 and NEP by targeted mass spectrometry in virus-infected cells

ABSTRACT: Influenza A Virus (IAV) is a recurring respiratory virus with antiviral therapies of limited use. Understanding host proteins essential for IAV infection can identify targets for alternative host-directed therapies (HDTs). Using affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) and global phosphoproteomic and protein abundance analyses with three IAV strains (pH1N1, H3N2, H5N1) in three human cell types (A549, NHBE, THP-1), we mapped 332 IAV-human protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and identified 13 IAV-modulated kinases. Whole exome sequencing of patients who experienced severe influenza revealed several genes, including the structural scaffold protein AHNAK, with predicted loss-of-function variants that were also identified in our proteomic analyses. Of our identified host factors, 54 significantly altered IAV infection upon siRNA knockdown, and two factors, COPB1 and AHNAK, were also essential for productive infection by SARS-CoV-2. Finally, 16 compounds targeting our identified host factors suppressed IAV replication, with two targeting CDK2 and FLT3 showing pan-antiviral activity across influenza and coronavirus families. This study provides a comprehensive network model of IAV infection in human cells, identifying functional host targets for pan-viral HDT. This project includes endogenous IP data from A549 cells and NHBE cells infected with H5N1 IAV validating IAV-host PPIs M2-ATP6V1A and NEP-AHNAK, respectively. M2-ATP6V1A and NEP-AHNAK PPIs were first identified in AP-MS data that is submitted under its own dataset identifier (PXD036077).
