AbstractHuman rhinoviruses express 2 cysteine proteases, 2A and 3C, that are responsible for viral polyprotein processing. Both proteases also suppress host gene expression by inhibiting mRNA transcription, nuclear export and cap-dependent translation. However, the relative contribution that each makes in achieving this goal remains unclear. In this study we have compared both the combined and individual ability of the 2 proteases to shut downin cellulogene expression using a novel dynamic reporter system. Our findings show that 2A inhibits host gene expression much more rapidly than 3C. By comparing the activities of a representative set of proteases from the three different Human Rhinovirus (HRV) species, we also find variation in the speed at which host gene expression is suppressed. Our work highlights the key role that 2A plays in early suppression of the infected host cell response and shows that this can be influenced by natural variation in the activity of this enzyme.

The ongoing unprecedented severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak worldwide has highlighted the need for understanding viral-host interactions involved in mechanisms of virulence. Here, we show that the virulence factor Nsp1 protein of SARS-CoV-2 interacts with the host messenger RNA (mRNA) export receptor heterodimer NXF1-NXT1, which is responsible for nuclear export of cellular mRNAs. Nsp1 prevents proper binding of NXF1 to mRNA export adaptors and NXF1 docking at the nuclear pore complex. As a result, a significant number of cellular mRNAs are retained in the nucleus during infection. Increased levels of NXF1 rescues the Nsp1-mediated mRNA export block and inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, antagonizing the Nsp1 inhibitory function on mRNA export may represent a strategy to restoring proper antiviral host gene expression in infected cells.

Viruses are known for their ability to alter host gene expression. Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus has two proteins that obstruct host gene expression. KSHV SOX, encoded by the open reading frame 37 (ORF37), induces a widespread cytoplasmic mRNA degradation and a block on mRNA nuclear export. The other KSHV protein, encoded by the open reading frame 10 (ORF10), was recently identified to inhibit host gene expression through its direct function on the cellular mRNA export pathway. In this review, we summarize the studies on both SOX and ORF10 in efforts to elucidate their mechanisms. We also discuss how the findings based on a closely related rodent virus, murine gammaherpesvirus-68 (MHV-68), complement the KSHV findings to decipher the role of these two proteins in viral pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT Commensal microbial communities have immense effects on their vertebrate hosts, contributing to a number of physiological functions, as well as host fitness. In particular, host immunity is strongly linked to microbiota composition through poorly understood bi-directional links. Gene expression may be a potential mediator of these links between microbial communities and host function. However, few studies have investigated connections between microbiota composition and expression of host immune genes in complex systems. Here, we leverage a large study of laboratory-raised fish from the species Gasterosteus aculeatus (three-spined stickleback) to document correlations between gene expression and microbiome composition. First, we examined correlations between microbiome alpha diversity and gene expression. Our results demonstrate robust positive associations between microbial alpha diversity and expression of host immune genes. Next, we examined correlations between host gene expression and abundance of microbial taxa. We identified 15 microbial families that were highly correlated with host gene expression. These families were all tightly correlated with host expression of immune genes and processes, falling into one of three categories—those positively correlated, negatively correlated, and neutrally related to immune processes. Furthermore, we highlight several important immune processes that are commonly associated with the abundance of these taxa, including both macrophage and B cell functions. Further functional characterization of microbial taxa will help disentangle the mechanisms of the correlations described here. In sum, our study supports prevailing hypotheses of intimate links between host immunity and gut microbiome composition. IMPORTANCE Here, we document associations between host gene expression and gut microbiome composition in a nonmammalian vertebrate species. We highlight associations between expression of immune genes and both microbiome diversity and abundance of specific microbial taxa. These findings support other findings from model systems which have suggested that gut microbiome composition and host immunity are intimately linked. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these correlations are truly systemic; the gene expression detailed here was collected from an important fish immune organ (the head kidney) that is anatomically distant from the gut. This emphasizes the systemic impact of connections between gut microbiota and host immune function. Our work is a significant advancement in the understanding of immune-microbiome links in nonmodel, natural systems.

Cell Functions

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs generated by back-splicing. Back-splicing has been considered as a rare event, but circRNAs were recently found to be abundantly expressed among a variety of human cells and tissues. Nevertheless, the expressional regulation, processing and biological functions of circRNAs are largely unknown. Cytoplasmic circRNAs can bind and trap microRNAs, whereas nuclear circRNAs may affect host gene expression. However, the expression, regulation and functions of circRNAs in endothelial cells have not been determined so far. In this study, basal expression and regulation of circRNAs by hypoxia in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) were analyzed using deep sequencing. Among the identified 7,388 circRNAs, 2,875 had not been annotated before. We further validated the expression of 40 selected circRNAs by RT-PCR and found that the majority is resistant to RNase R digestion, lacks polyadenylation and is localized to the cytoplasm. Cloning and subsequent sequencing validated the newly generated back splice sites for selected circRNAs. Furthermore, analysis of RNA-seq data revealed that circRNAs, particularly the cytoplasmatic circular RNA cZNF292, are significantly regulated by hypoxia in HUVECs. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of HIF-1α had no effect on cZNF292 induction under hypoxia, suggesting a HIF-1α independent regulation. Most importantly, siRNA-mediated knockdown of cZNF292 significantly reduced spheroid sprouting and network formation of endothelial cells. Furthermore, knockdown of cZNF292 had no effect on its host gene expression. Exon array analysis after cZNF292 knockdown revealed a significant expressional upregulation of 167 as well as a significant expressional downregulation of 123 genes of which most were associated with metabolic processes according to GO annotation. Analysis of Ago-HITS-CLIP data revealed no putative miR-binding sites, suggesting that cZNF292 does not act as a miR-sponge. Taken together, we show for the first time the expression, regulation and function of circRNAs in endothelial cells. The circRNA cZNF292 is regulated by hypoxia and has an important angiogenic function in endothelial cells.
