Project description:Herpes simplex virus replicates and forms progeny in the nucleus where it must overcome host chromatin to establish a successful infection. During lytic infection, newly formed viral capsids navigate through heterochromatin channels at the nuclear periphery to egress out of the nucleus. In uninfected cells, specific histone marks such as trimethylation on histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and the histone variant macroH2A1 delineate heterochromatin regions, or repressed chromatin, that are predominantly located in the nuclear periphery. We examined these markers during HSV-1 lytic infection in primary cells and discovered a striking increase in the levels of macroH2A1 and H3K27me3. Here, we demonstrate that the loss of macroH2A1 results in significantly lower viral titers but does not impair viral transcription, protein production, or replication. By inhibiting the deposition of H3K27me3 by EZH2, we further show that reduction of H3K27me3 also leads to a significant decrease in viral titers. Through chromatin profiling via Cleavage Under Targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) of macroH2A1 and H3K27me3, we define the specific chromatin regions that change dynamically during HSV-1 lytic infection and show that regions with increased macroH2A1 and H3K27me3 correlate with decreased host transcription as measured by RNA-seq. Furthermore, we find by electron microscopy that loss of macroH2A1 results in reduced heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery and significantly more viral capsids trapped in the nuclear compartment. Using both high and low shedding clinical isolates of HSV-1, we similarly find that HSV-1 titers are significantly reduced in the absence of macroH2A1. Our work demonstrates that HSV-1 takes advantage of the dynamic nature of host heterochromatin formation during infection for efficient viral egress from the nuclear compartment.

Project description:Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) progeny form in the nucleus and exit to successfully infect other cells. Newly formed capsids navigate complex chromatin architecture to reach the inner nuclear membrane (INM) and egress. Here, we demonstrate by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that HSV-1 capsids traverse heterochromatin associated with trimethylation on histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and the histone variant macroH2A1. Through chromatin profiling during infection, we revealed global redistribution of these marks whereby massive host genomic regions bound by macroH2A1 and H3K27me3 correlate with decreased host transcription in active compartments. We found that the loss of these markers resulted in significantly lower viral titers but did not impact viral genome or protein accumulation. Strikingly, we discovered that loss of macroH2A1 or H3K27me3 resulted in nuclear trapping of capsids. Finally, by live-capsid tracking, we quantified this decreased capsid movement. Thus, our work demonstrates that HSV-1 takes advantage of the dynamic nature of host heterochromatin formation during infection for efficient nuclear egress.

Project description:The nuclear egress complex (NEC) of herpesviruses such as HSV-1 is essential for the exit of nascent capsids from the cell nucleus. The NEC drives nuclear envelope vesiculation in cells, but the precise budding mechanism and the potential involvement of cellular proteins are unclear. Here we report that HSV-1 NEC alone is sufficient for membrane budding in vitro and thus represents a complete membrane deformation and scission machinery. It forms ordered coats on the inner surface of the budded vesicles, suggesting that it mediates scission by scaffolding the membrane bud and constricting the neck to the point of scission. The inward topology of NEC-mediated budding in vitro resembles capsid budding into the inner nuclear membrane during HSV-1 infection and nuclear envelope vesiculation in NEC-transfected cells. We propose that the NEC functions as minimal virus-encoded membrane-budding machinery during nuclear egress and does not require additional cellular factors.

Project description:The primary envelopment/de-envelopment of Herpes viruses during nuclear exit is poorly understood. In Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), proteins pUL31 and pUL34 are critical, while pUS3 and some others contribute; however, efficient membrane fusion may require additional host proteins. We postulated that vesicle fusion proteins present in the nuclear envelope might facilitate primary envelopment and/or de-envelopment fusion with the outer nuclear membrane. Indeed, a subpopulation of vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAPB), a known vesicle trafficking protein, was present in the nuclear membrane co-locating with pUL34. VAPB knockdown significantly reduced both cell-associated and supernatant virus titers. Moreover, VAPB depletion reduced cytoplasmic accumulation of virus particles and increased levels of nuclear encapsidated viral DNA. These results suggest that VAPB is an important player in the exit of primary enveloped HSV-1 virions from the nucleus. Importantly, VAPB knockdown did not alter pUL34, calnexin or GM-130 localization during infection, arguing against an indirect effect of VAPB on cellular vesicles and trafficking. Immunogold-labelling electron microscopy confirmed VAPB presence in nuclear membranes and moreover associated with primary enveloped HSV-1 particles. These data suggest that VAPB could be a cellular component of a complex that facilitates UL31/UL34/US3-mediated HSV-1 nuclear egress.
