AbstractViruses require host cell metabolites to productively infect, and the mechanisms by which viruses usurp these molecules is diverse. One group of cellular metabolites important in virus infection is the polyamines, small positively-charged molecules involved in cell cycle, translation, and nucleic acid synthesis, among other cellular functions. Polyamines also support replication of diverse viruses, and they are important for processes such as transcription, translation, and viral protein enzymatic activity. Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a negative-sense RNA virus that requires polyamines to produce infectious particles. In polyamine depleted conditions, noninfectious particles are produced that interfere with virus replication and stimulate immune signaling. Here, we find that RVFV relies on virion-associated polyamines to maintain infectivity. We show that RVFV replication is facilitated by any of the three biogenic polyamines; however, we specifically find spermidine associated with purified virions. Using a panel of polyamine homologs, we observe that virions can also associate with (R)-3-methylspermidine and norspermidine, though not with other less homologous molecules. Using polyamine reporter cells, we demonstrate that virion-associated polyamines transmit from one infected cell to another. Finally, we find that virions devoid of polyamines are unstable and cannot be supplemented with exogenous polyamines to regain stability or infectivity. These data highlight a unique role for polyamines, and spermidine in particular, in maintaining virus infectivity, a function not previously appreciated. Further, these studies are the first to identify polyamines associated with RVFV virions. Targeting polyamines represents a promising antiviral strategy, and this work highlights a new mechanism by which we can inhibit virus replication through FDA-approved polyamine depleting pharmaceuticals.
