Project description:The Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) genome consists of an approximately 140 kb unique coding region flanked by 30-40 copies of 0.8 kb terminal repeat (TR) sequence. KSHV genomes persist in latently infected cells as episomes via tethering to the host cell chromosomes, and KSHV latency associated nuclear antigen (LANA) plays a crucial role in latent episomal DNA replication and segregation during host cell mitosis by binding to TR. While TR's function in plasmid maintenance is well-established, TR’s transcription regulatory roles as gene enhancer has not been fully explored. Gene enhancer harbors transcription enzymes via arrays of transcription factors bindings and often forms phase separate nuclear body in part through recruitment of BRD4 and MED1 that contain intrinsically disordered domain. Here we show KSHV TR possesses transcription regulatory function with LANA. A series of Cleavage Under Targets & Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) demonstrated that TR fragments are occupied by histone modifying enzymes that are known to interact with LANA in naturally infected cells, and the TR possessed characteristic enhancer histone modifications. The H3K4me3 and H3K27Ac modification were also conserved in unique region of the KSHV genome among three PEL cells, and the KSHV Origin of lytic replication (Ori-Lyt) showed similar protein and histone modification occupancies with TR's. In the Ori-Lyt region, the LANA protein complex colocalizes with H3K27Ac-modified nucleosome along with paused RNA polymerase II, and the nucleosome is franked by two K-Rta recruitment sites. The isolated reporter assays demonstrated that neighboring TR fragments enhanced viral lytic gene promoter activity independent of orientation in KSHV-infected and non-infected 293FT cells. K-Rta transactivation function was drastically enhanced with TR, while LANA acquired promoter repression function when the reporter was ligated with TR. The deletion of LANA acidic repeat sequence, a highly-disordered protein domain, further increased gene repression functions. Combined, the TR region is (i) an epigenetically active DNA element that is stitched within 12.5 kb (20-40 copies), (ii) has an array of transcription factor (LANA) binding sites, (iii) recruited by transcription related enzymes including BRD4 (bromodomain containing 4), (iv) decorated by histone H3K27Ac marks, and (v) possesses orientation-independent transcription activation function. KSHV TR is therefore an enhancer domain for KSHV inducible genes. However, in contrast to cellular enhancers that are bound by multiple transcription factors, perhaps KSHV enhancer is predominantly regulated by the LANA nuclear body on the TR. We suggest that KSHV evolved a clever mechanism to tightly control the latency-lytic switch with the TR/LANA complex.

Project description:Kaposi’s Sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic human virus and leading cause of mortality in HIV infection. Reactivation of KSHV from latent to lytic stage infection initiates a cascade of viral gene expression, and here we show how these changes remodel the host cell proteome to enable viral replication. By undertaking a systematic and unbiased analysis of changes to the endothelial cell proteome following lytic KSHV reactivation, we quantify >7000 cellular and 71 viral proteins. Lytic KSHV infection resulted in >2-fold downregulation of 291 cellular proteins, including PKR, the key cellular sensor of double-stranded RNA. A complementary KSHV genome-wide CRISPR genetic screen identified K5 as the viral gene responsible for the downregulation of two novel KSHV targets, Nectin-2 and CD155, both ligands of the NK cell DNAM-1 receptor. Despite the high episome copy number, we show that CRISPR Cas9 provides a remarkably efficient way to target KSHV genomes.

Project description:Cancer cells of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) often contain both Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). We measured the interplay of human, KSHV, and EBV transcription in a cell culture model of PEL using single-cell RNA sequencing. The data detect widespread trace expression of lytic KSHV genes.

Project description:The nucleus is a highly structured environment containing multiple membrane-less bodies formed through liquid-liquid phase separation. These provide spatial separation and concentration of specific biomolecules enabling efficient and discrete processes to occur which regulate gene expression. One such nuclear body, paraspeckles, are comprised of multiple paraspeckle proteins (PSPs) built around the architectural RNA, NEAT1_2. Paraspeckle function is yet to be fully elucidated but has been implicated in a variety of developmental and disease scenarios. We demonstrate that Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) drives formation of structurally distinct paraspeckles with a dramatically increased size and altered protein composition that are essential for productive lytic replication. We highlight these virus-induced paraspeckle-like structures form adjacent to virus replication centres, functioning as RNA processing hubs for both viral and cellular transcripts during infection. Notably, we reveal that PSP sequestration into virus-induced paraspeckle-like structures results in increased genome instability during both KSHV and Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection, implicating their formation in virus-mediated tumorigenesis.

Project description:The RIG-I like receptors (RLRs) RIG-I and MDA5 are cytosolic RNA helicases best characterized as restriction factors for RNA viruses. However, evidence suggests RLRs participate in innate immune recognition of other pathogens, including DNA viruses. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a human gammaherpesvirus and the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). We demonstrate that RIG-I and MDA5 restrict KSHV lytic reactivation in PEL. By performing fRIP-Seq, we define the in vivo RLR substrates and demonstrate that RIG-I and MDA5-mediated restriction is facilitated exclusively by the recognition of host-derived RNAs.

Project description:Lytic reactivation from latency is critical for the pathogenesis of KSHV. We previously demonstrated that the 691 amino acid KSHV Rta transcriptional transactivator is necessary and sufficient to reactivate the virus from latency. Viral lytic cycle genes, including those expressing additional transactivators and putative oncogenes, are induced in a cascade fashion following Rta expression. In this study, we sought to define Rta’s direct targets during reactivation by generating a conditionally nuclear variant of Rta. WT Rta protein is constitutively localized to cell nuclei, and contains two putative nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Only one NLS (NLS-2; aa 516-530) was required for nuclear localization of Rta, and relocalized eGFP exclusively to cell nuclei. Analyses of Rta NLS mutants demonstrated that proper nuclear localization of Rta was required for transactivation and stimulation of viral reactivation. Fusion of Rta_NLS-1,2 to the hormone binding domain of the murine estrogen receptor generated a variant of Rta whose nuclear localization and ability to transactivate and induce reactivation were tightly controlled post-translationally by the synthetic hormone tamoxifen. We used this strategy in KSHV-infected cells treated with protein synthesis inhibitors to identify direct transcriptional targets of Rta. Only eight KSHV genes were activated by Rta in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. These direct transcriptional targets of Rta were transactivated to different magnitudes, and included the genes nut-1/PAN, ORF57/Mta, ORF56/Primase, K2/vIL-6, ORF37/SOX, K14/vOX, K9/vIRF1, and ORF52. Our data suggest that induction of most of the KSHV lytic cycle genes requires additional protein expression post-Rta. Keywords: Comparative transcriptome analysis by oligonucleotide microarray

Project description:Purpose: miR-Seq was utilised to identify miRNAs which are altered during the course of KSHV lytic replication at 0, 16 and 24 hours post reactivation in TREx-BCBL1-RTA cells. Methods: Virus lytic replication was induced via addition of 2 µg/mL doxycycline hyclate (Sigma-Aldrich). Total RNA was extracted from TREx-BCBL-1s at 0, 16 and 24 hours post lytic induction. Small RNA libraries were prepared using the TruSeq Small RNA Library Prep Kit (Illumina). Quality filtered (Q < 20), and adapter trimmed reads (Trimmomatic v0.39) [59] were aligned to the GRCh38/hg38 assembly of the human genome using Bowtie2 (V 2.4.2).
