Project description:Conventional antiviral memory CD4 T cells typically arise during the first two weeks of acute infection. Unlike most viruses, cytomegalovirus (CMV) exhibits an extended persistent replication phase followed by lifelong latency accompanied with some gene expression, suggesting the development of protective memory CD4 T cells may be altered. We show that during mouse CMV (MCMV) infection, CD4 T cells recognizing an epitope derived from the viral M09 protein only develop after conventional memory T cells have already peaked and contracted. Ablating these CD4 T cells by mutating the M09 genomic epitope in the MCMV Smith strain, or inducing them by introducing the epitope into the K181 strain, resulted in delayed or enhanced control of viral persistence, respectively. These cells were shown to be unique compared to their conventional memory counterparts; producing higher IFNg and IL-2 and lower IL-10 levels. RNAseq analyses revealed them to express distinct subsets of effector genes as compared to classical CD4 T cells. Additionally, when M09 cells were induced by epitope vaccination they significantly enhanced protection when compared to conventional CD4 T cells alone. These data show that late-rising CD4 T cells are a unique memory subset with excellent protective capacities that display a development program strongly differing from the majority of memory T cells.

Project description:Herpesviruses have a group of genes earmarked for expression late in the infection. Beta- and gammaherpesviruses utilize a six-member set of viral late transcription factors to selectively activate these genes by binding to a DNA sequence signature in gene promoters. We made an unexpected discovery that differences in sequence signature configures the late gene expression program for human cytomegalovirus, a beta-herpesvirus of global public health importance. Diversity in signature patterns expands promoter targets and pre-sets amount of individual promoter output. A unique palindromic sequence signature is linked to the activation of back-to-back promoters at multiple locations in the viral genome. We deduce that diversity in late transcription factor targets functionally orchestrates the productive rollout of the late-stage infection. This may be a generalizable feature adopted by beta- and gammaherpesvirus subfamilies.

Project description:We characterized the role of the conserved murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) gene M79. Using a recombinant MCMV virus carrying a tagged M79 coding sequence, we showed that M79 encoded a protein (pM79) which was expressed at late times of infection and localized to nuclear viral replication compartments. M79 transcription was largely dependent on viral DNA synthesis but was markedly stimulated by pM79, suggesting a positive feedback loop. To investigate its role, we created the recombinant virus SMin79, in which the M79 coding sequence was disrupted by an 88-nt insertion. We subsequently repaired the mutation to generate marker-rescued virus SMrev79. While SMrev79 grew efficiently in fibroblasts, SMin79 failed to produce infectious progeny but was rescued by pM79 expression in trans. During SMin79 infection, representative viral immediate early and early gene products, as well as viral DNA, accumulated efficiently. Formation of viral replication compartments also appeared normal. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis analysis indicated that the overall structure of replicating viral DNA was indistinguishable in cells infected with SMin79 compared to that with wild type virus. However, the accumulation of viral products for late gene M55 was severely compromised. Viral oligonucleotide tiled array analysis revealed that the accumulation of many late transcripts, defined by their sensitivity to viral DNA synthesis inhibitor phosphonoacetic acid, was markedly reduced by pM79 mutation. This study extends our previous work to suggest that cytomegaloviruses use a conserved mechanism to promote transcription at late stages of infection, and that pM79 regulates expression of a subset of viral DNA synthesis-dependent transcripts. This study consists of 4 unreplicated samples. RNA from Mock-infected, WT infected, WT infected in the presence of PAA, and a mutant M79 version of MCMV.

Project description:More than half the world's population is infected with Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV), increasing risks for the immuno-compromised, and causing significant congenital birth defects. The HCMV genome encodes >170 proteins; many that remain uncharacterised, which restricts development opportunities for new antivirals. In this study, a molecular assay was developed to conduct a genome-wide HCMV screen to identify genes that function during late stages of infection. Saliently, loss of UL49 completely abolished production of infectious virions. During infection, UL49 displayed leaky late expression kinetics and nuclear localization. Functionally, UL49 is as an essential subunit of the viral pre-initiation complex (vPIC), enhancing transcription of late viral genes containing non-canonical TATT motif promoters. RNA-seq revealed the full repertoire of vPIC-regulated genes, including transcripts coding for capsid subunits, envelope glycoproteins and egress-associated tegument proteins. Therefore, UL49 together with other vPIC subunits, serve as fundamental HCMV effectors that govern successful completion of the replication cycle.

Project description:Herpesvirus late promoters activate gene expression after viral DNA synthesis has begun. Alphaherpesviruses utilize a viral immediate-early protein to do this, whereas beta- and gammaherpesviruses primarily use a 6-member set of viral late-acting transcription factors (LTF) that are drawn to a TATT sequence in the late promoter. The betaherpesvirus, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), produces three immediate-early 2 protein isoforms, IE2-86, IE2-60, IE2-40, in late infection, but whether they activate late viral promoters is unknown. Here, we quickly degrade the IE2 proteins in late infection and analyze effects on transcription using customized PRO-Seq and computational methods combined with multiple validation methods. We discover that the IE2 proteins selectively drive RNA Pol II transcription initiation at a subset of viral early-late and late promoters common to different HCMV strains, but do not substantially affect Pol II transcription of the 9,942 expressed host genes. Most of the IE2-activated viral late infection promoters lack the TATT sequence bound by the HCMV UL87-encoded LTF. The HCMV TATT-binding protein is not mechanistically involved in late RNA expression from the IE2-activated TATT-less UL83 (pp65) promoter, as it is for the TATT-containing UL82 (pp71) promoter. While antecedent viral DNA synthesis is necessary for transcription from the late infection viral promoters, continued viral DNA synthesis is unnecessary. We conclude that the IE2 proteins target a distinct subset of late infection HCMV promoters for transcription initiation by RNA Pol II. Commencement of viral DNA replication renders the HCMV genome late promoters susceptible to late-acting viral transcription factors, which do not appreciably affect host transcription during this late time.

Project description:Transcription is a major obstacle for replication fork progression and transcription-replication collisions constitute a main cause of genome instability. At a genome-wide scale these obstacles can be detected by the accumulation of the replicative Rrm3 helicase required for RF progression through protein obstacles. Here we show that FACT, a chromatin-reorganizing complex that swaps nucleosomes around the RNA polymerase during transcription elongation and that also has a role in replication, is needed to resolve transcription-replication conflicts in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Importantly, ChIP-chip analyses of Rrm3 reveal that replication progression impairment in FACT mutants occur genome-wide, but preferentially at highly transcribed regions. ChIP-chip studies were perfomed with antibodies against Rrm3-FLAG in the yeast S. cerevisiae.
