Project description:SAMD9 and SAMD9L (SAMD9/9L) are antiviral factors and myeloid tumor suppressors. They are critical for innate immune defense against several viruses, particularly the poxviruses. SAMD9/9L mutations with a gain-of-function (GoF) in inhibiting cell growth cause multisystem developmental disorders including many pediatric myelodysplastic syndromes. Predicted to be multi-domain proteins with an architecture like that of the NOD-like receptors, SAMD9/9L molecular functions and domain structures are largely unknown. Here, we identified a SAMD9/9L effector domain that functions by binding to double-stranded nucleic acids (dsNA) and determined the crystal structure of the domain in complex with DNA. Aided with precise mutations that differentially perturb dsNA binding, we demonstrated that the antiviral and antiproliferative functions of the wild-type and GoF SAMD9/9L variants rely on dsNA binding by the effector domain. Furthermore, we showed that GoF variants inhibit global protein synthesis, reduce translation elongation, and induce proteotoxic stress response, which all require dsNA binding by the effector domain. The identification of the structure and function of a SAMD9/9L effector domain provides a therapeutic target for SAMD9/9L associated human diseases.

Project description:In mammalian somatic cells, the relative contribution of RNAi and the type I interferon response during viral infection is unclear. The apparent inefficiency of antiviral RNAi might be due to self-limiting properties and mitigating co-factors of the key enzyme Dicer. In particular, the helicase domain of human Dicer appears to be an important restriction factor of its activity. Here, we study the involvement of several helicase-truncated mutants of human Dicer in the antiviral response. All deletion mutants display a PKR-dependent antiviral phenotype against certain viruses, and one of them, Dicer N1, acts in a completely RNAi-independent manner. Transcriptomic analyses show that many genes from the interferon and inflammatory response pathways are upregulated in Dicer N1-expressing cells. We show that some of these genes are controlled by NF-kB and that blocking this pathway abrogates the antiviral phenotype of Dicer N1. Our findings highlight the crosstalk between Dicer, PKR, and the NF-kB pathway, and suggest that human Dicer may have repurposed its helicase domain to prevent basal activation of antiviral and inflammatory pathways.

Project description:The goals of this study were to identify gene transcription changes in cells expressing activated H-RasV12 or activated versions of the ras effector domain mutants RasV12G37, RasV12S35, and RasV12C40 for the purpose of identifying common or unique transcription alterations in cells transformed by different ras signal transduction pathways. Keywords: genetic modification design HME16C mammary epithelial cells infected with pLRT control vector, or H-RasV12-, V12G37-, V12S35-, or V12C40-expressing vectors were each treated with 250ng/mL doxycycline and total RNA prepared at two separate times to give two biological replicates. Then dye swap experiments were performed with each biological replicate.

Project description:Treatment of HIV infection with either anti-retroviral therapy (ART) or neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (NAbs) leads to a reduction in HIV plasma virus. Both ART and NAbs prevent new rounds of viral infection but NAbs may have the additional capacity to accelerate the loss of virus-infected cells through Fc gamma receptor (FcgR) mediated effector functions, which should affect the kinetics of plasma virus decline. Here we formally test this premise in vivo by comparing the plasma virus response to a single dose treatment with either unmodified NAb or those with either reduced or augmented Fc function. When infused into viremic SHIV-infected rhesus macaques, there was a 21% difference in slope of plasma virus decline between wt NAb and NAb with reduced Fc function. NAb engineered to increase FcgRIII binding and improve ADCC in vitro resulted in arming of effector cells in vivo yet led to viral decay kinetics similar to NAbs with reduced Fc function. These studies show that the predominant mechanism of antiviral activity of HIV NAbs is through inhibition of viral entry, but that Fc function does contribute to the overall antiviral activity, making them unique from standard ART. However, these data also show that increased FcgRIII engagement is insufficient to improve in vivo virus clearance.
