Viruses antagonise expression and function of cGAMP transporters, channels and pores

ABSTRACT: DNA sensing is a fundamental process in the immune system, including host defence against viruses. The DNA sensor cGAS synthesises 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), a second messenger that activates STING, which subsequently induces innate immunity. cGAMP not only activates STING in the cell where it is produced but also transfers to other cells. Transporters, channels and pores including SLC19A1, the SLC46A family, P2X7, ABCC1 and volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) release cGAMP into the extracellular space and/or import cGAMP into cells. Emerging evidence suggests these proteins are important in antiviral immunity. Here, we investigated whether viruses antagonise cGAMP transporters, channels and pores. We report that infection with multiple human viruses depleted cGAMP conduits from cells. This included herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) that targeted the VRAC subunits LRRC8A and LRRC8C, as well as SLC46A2 and P2X7, for degradation. The HSV-1 protein UL56 was required and sufficient for these effects that were mediated at least partially by proteasomal turnover. UL56 thereby inhibited the cGAMP uptake via VRAC, SLC46A2 and P2X7. Taken together, we show that HSV-1 actively antagonises cGAMP transfer across the plasma membrane and propose this limits innate immunity by reducing cell-to-cell communication via the immunotransmitter cGAMP.

The volume regulated anion channel LRRC8C suppresses T cell function by regulating cyclic dinucleotide transport and STING-p53 signaling

Project description:The volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) is a hexameric complex formed by LRRC8 proteins. VRACs are responsible for the regulatory volume decrease (RVD) after hypotonic cell swelling by mediating the efflux of chloride. Besides chloride, LRRC8 proteins transport other molecules including immunomodulatory cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) such as 2’3’cGAMP. Here we identify LRRC8C as a critical component of VRACs in T cells, where its deletion abolishes VRAC currents and RVD. We find that LRRC8C mediates the transport of 2’3’cGAMP in T cells. T cells of Lrrc8c-/- mice have increased cell cycle progression, proliferation, survival, Ca2+ influx and cytokine production in vitro and enhanced T cell mediated immunity in vivo. We used RNA sequencing of CD4+ T cells from wild-type (WT) and Lrrc8c-/- mice to determine the effects of impaired cGAMP signaling in T cells. T cells of Lrrc8c-/- mice had impaired p53 signaling which was associated with decreased p53 expression. We found that uptake of 2’3’cGAMP and other CDNs via LRRC8C results in STING activation and p53 accumulation. Inhibition of STING in WT T cells recapitulates the phenotype of LRRC8C-deficient T cells whereas overexpression of p53 inhibits enhanced T cell function in the absence of LRRC8C. These findings establish cGAMP uptake through LRRC8C and subsequent STING-p53 signaling as a novel inhibitory signaling pathway in T cells and adaptive immunity.

2’3’-cGAMP binds and activates Rab18 to promote cell migration

Project description:Cyclic dinucleotides serve as bacterial secondary messengers regulating sporulation, motility, biofilm formation and virulence. A nonsymmetric c-di-GAMP is firstly identified in bacteria to promote colonization, while mammalian 2’3’-cGAMP is synthesized by cGAS through binding and activating STING to trigger innate immune activation. However, pathophysiological function of 2’3’-cGAMP beyond innate immunity remains elusive. Here, we report 2’3’-cGAMP facilitates cell migration independent of STING and its innate immune function. 2’3’-cGAMP interactome analysis with a targeted shRNA-screen identifies the GTPase Rab18 as a direct 2’3’-cGAMP binding partner and effector in cell migration control. Mechanistically, 2’3’-cGAMP binds Rab18-S17, E36 and R92 residues to facilitate Rab18 activation and subsequently promotes FosB transcription in promoting cell migration. Low-dose doxorubicin induces 2’3’-cGAMP synthesis and facilitates cell migration in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, lovastatin induces Rab18 phosphorylation abolishes 2’3’-cGAMP recognition to antagonize 2’3’-cGAMP induced cell migration. Together, our study reveals a novel 2’3’-cGAMP function in cell migration control beyond innate immunity via binding Rab18 that provides new insights into clinical applications of 2’3’-cGAMP.

RNAseq of 2'3' cGAMP injected Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:We recently reported that an orthologue of STING regulates infection by picorna-like viruses in drosophila. Here, we show that injection of flies with 2’3’-cGAMP can induce expression of dSTING-regulated genes. Analysis of the transcriptome of 2’3’-cGAMP injected flies reveals a complex pattern of response, with early and late induced genes. Our results reveal that dSTING regulates an NF-κB -dependent antiviral program, which predates the emergence of Interferon Regulatory Factors and interferons in vertebrates.

Neddylation modification on cGAS of human and mouse

Project description:The cytosolic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthetase (cGAS) has emerged as a fundamental component fueling the anti-pathogen immunity. Because of its pivotal role in initiating innate immune response, the activity of cGAS must be tightly fine-tuned to maintain immune homeostasis in antiviral response. Here, we reported that neddylation modification was indispensable for appropriate cGAS-STING signaling activation. Blocking neddylation pathway using neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 substantially impaired the induction of type I interferon and proinflammatory cytokines, which was selectively dependent on Nedd8 E2 enzyme Ube2m. We further found that deficiency of the Nedd8 E3 ligase Rnf111 greatly attenuated DNA-triggered cGAS activation while not affecting cGAMP induced activation of STING, demonstrating that Rnf111 was the Nedd8 E3 ligase of cGAS. We further identified Lys231 and Lys421 as the key neddylation sites in human cGAS. Mechanistically, Rnf111 interacted with and polyneddylated cGAS, which in turn promoted its dimerization and enhanced the DNA-binding ability, leading to proper cGAS-STING pathway activation. In the same line, the Ube2m or Rnf111 deficiency mice exhibited severe defects in innate immune response and were susceptible to HSV-1 infection. Collectively, our study uncovered a vital role of the Ube2m-Rnf111 neddylation axis in promoting the activity of the cGAS-STING pathway and highlighted the importance of neddylation modification in antiviral defense.

ENPP1 is an innate immune checkpoint of the anticancer cGAMP-STING pathway

Project description:ENPP1 expression correlates with poor prognosis in many cancers, and we previously discovered that ENPP1 is the dominant hydrolase of extracellular cGAMP: a cancer-cell-produced immunotransmitter that activates the anticancer STING pathway. However, ENPP1 has other catalytic activities and the molecular and cellular mechanisms contributing to its tumorigenic effects remain unclear. Here, using single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), we show that ENPP1 overexpression drives primary tumor growth and metastasis by synergistically dampening extracellular cGAMP-STING mediated antitumoral immunity and activating immunosuppressive extracellular adenosine (eADO) signaling. In addition to cancer cells, stromal and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) also express ENPP1 which functions as a gate keeper to block cGAMP sensing in these cells. Enpp1 knockout in both cancer cells and normal tissues slowed primary tumor growth and prevented metastasis in an extracellular cGAMP- and STING-dependent manner. Lastly, an ENPP1 knock-in mutation that selectively abolishes ENPP1’s cGAMP hydrolysis activity phenocopied total ENPP1 knockout, demonstrating that restoration of paracrine cGAMP-STING signaling is the dominant anti-cancer mechanism of ENPP1 inhibition. In summary, selectively blocking ENPP1’s cGAMP hydrolysis activity is a promising therapeutic approach for treating cancer.

Gene Expression in Arabidopsis thaliana Guard Cells

Project description:Stomata are formed by a pair of specialized guard cells that control the opening and closing of the stomatal pores on the leaf surface. These pores are the main route for microbe penetration into leaves. However, plants show a remarkable ability to close the pore when sensing the presence of microbial invaders; a phenomenon recently described as stomatal immunity. This study was initiated to understand the transcriptional regulation of this early plant defense against pathogens.

Immediate early proteins of herpes simplex virus transiently repress viral transcription before subsequent activation.

Project description:This study was undertaken to further clarify the roles of HSV-1 immediately early (IE) genes ICP4, ICP0, and ICP22 in early viral transcription. Precision nuclear Run On followed by deep Sequencing (PRO-Seq) was used to identify sites of Pol activity to high resolution on the genomes of HSV-1 viruses bearing mutations in a0, a4 or a22/US1, and corresponding viruses in which these loci were genetically restored. The results indicated that prior to initiating activation of transcription, IE genes first mediate transcriptional repression.

Herpes Simplex Virus blocks host transcription termination via the bimodal activities of ICP27.

Project description:Infection by viruses, including Herpes Simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), and cellular stresses cause widespread disruption of transcription termination (DoTT) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that, in HSV-1-infected cells, the viral immediate early factor ICP27 is necessary and sufficient for inducing DoTT. Mechanistically, ICP27 directly binds to the essential mRNA 3’ processing factor CPSF, induces the assembly of a dead-end 3’ processing complex, and blocks mRNA cleavage. Remarkably, ICP27 also acts as a sequence-dependent activator of mRNA 3’ processing for HSV-1 and a subset of host genes. Our results suggest that the bimodal activities of ICP27 play a key role in HSV-1-induced host shutoff and that CPSF is a common host factor targeted by multiple viruses. The mechanism described here may have implications for understanding other virus- and cell stress-mediated regulation of transcription termination.

The roles of nuclear orphan receptor NR2F6 in anti-viral innate immunity [RNA-seq]

Project description:The regulation of proper gene transcription is critical for anti-viral defense. Dynamics of enhancer activity play important roles in many biological processes, and epigenomic analysis is widely used to determine the involved enhancers and transcription factors. To determine new transcription factors in anti-DNA-virus response, we perform H3K27ac ChIP-Seq analysis to profile the active enhancer pattern in HSV-1-infected THP-1 cells. We have identified three transcription factors, NR2F6, MEF2D and MAFF, and experimentally verified their roles in promoting HSV-1 replication. NR2F6 promotes HSV-1 replication and gene expression in vitro and in vivo, which is not related with the classical cGAS/STING pathway. NR2F6 binds to the promoter of MAP3K5 and activate AP-1/c-Jun pathway, which is critical for DNA virus replication. On the contrary, NR2F6 expression is transcriptionally repressed by c-Jun upon HSV-1 infection, which forms a negative feedback loop. Meanwhile, cGAS/STING innate immunity signaling represses NR2F6 through STAT3. Taken together, we have identified new transcription factors involved in the interactive network between DNA viruses and host cells, and revealed the underlying mechanisms for anti-viral research.
