Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease, a class of animal diseases, is caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). The metabolic changes during FMDV infection remain unclear. Here, PK-15 cells, serum, and tonsils infected with FMDV were analyzed by metabolomics. A total of 284 metabolites in cells were significantly changed after FMDV infection, and most of them belong to amino acids and nucleotides. Further studies showed that FMDV infection significantly enhanced aspartate in vitro and in vivo. The amino acid transporter solute carrier family 38 member 8 (SLC38A8) was responsible for FMDV-upregulated aspartate. Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and Seneca Valley virus (SVV) infection also enhanced aspartate by SLC38A8. Aspartate aminotransferase activity was also elevated in FMDV-, EV71-, and SVV-infected cells, which may lead to reversible transition between the TCA cycle and amino acids synthesis. Aspartate and SLC38A8 were essential for FMDV, EV71, and SVV replication in cells. In addition, aspartate and SLC38A8 also promoted FMDV and EV71 replication in mice. Detailed analysis indicated that FMDV infection promoted the transfer of mTOR to lysosome to enhance interaction between mTOR and Rheb, and activated PI3K/AKT/TSC2/Rheb/mTOR/p70S6K1 pathway to promote viral replication. The mTORC1 signaling pathway was responsible for FMDV-induced SLC38A8 protein expression. For the first time, our data identified metabolic changes during FMDV infection. These data identified a novel mechanism used by FMDV to upregulate aspartate to promote viral replication and will provide new perspectives for developing new preventive strategies.

Abstract
Type I interferons (IFNs-α/β) are antiviral cytokines that constitute the innate immunity of hosts to fight against viral infections. Recent studies, however, have revealed the pleiotropic functions of IFNs, in addition to their antiviral activities, for the priming of activation and maturation of adaptive immunity. In turn, many viruses have developed various strategies to counteract the IFN response and to evade the host immune system for their benefits. The inefficient innate immunity and delayed adaptive response fail to clear of invading viruses and negatively affect the efficacy of vaccines. A better understanding of evasion strategies will provide opportunities to revert the viral IFN antagonism. Furthermore, IFN antagonism-deficient viruses can be generated by reverse genetics technology. Such viruses can potentially serve as next-generation vaccines that can induce effective and broad-spectrum responses for both innate and adaptive immunities for various pathogens. This review describes the recent advances in developing IFN antagonism-deficient viruses, their immune evasion and attenuated phenotypes in natural host animal species, and future potential as veterinary vaccines.

Rotavirus NSP1 Subverts the Antiviral Oligoadenylate Synthetase-RNase L Pathway by Inducing RNase L Degradation. mBio 2022; 13:e0299522.

Abstract
The interferon (IFN)-inducible 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)-RNase L pathway plays a critical role in antiviral immunity. Group A rotaviruses, including the simian SA11 strain, inhibit this pathway through two activities: an E3-ligase related activity of NSP1 that degrades proteins necessary for IFN signaling, and a phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity of VP3 that hydrolyzes the RNase L-activator 2',5'-oligoadenylate. Unexpectedly, we found that a recombinant (r) SA11 double mutant virus deficient in both activities (rSA11-VP3H797R-NSP1ΔC17) retained the ability to prevent RNase L activation. Mass spectrometry led to the discovery that NSP1 interacts with RNase L in rSA11-infected HT29 cells. This interaction was confirmed through copulldown assay of cells transiently expressing NSP1 and RNase L. Immunoblot analysis showed that infection with wild-type rSA11 virus, rSA11-VP3H797R-NSP1ΔC17 double mutant virus, or single mutant forms of the latter virus all resulted in the depletion of endogenous RNase L. The loss of RNase L was reversed by addition of the neddylation inhibitor MLN4924, but not the proteasome inhibitor MG132. Analysis of additional mutant forms of rSA11 showed that RNase L degradation no longer occurred when either the N-terminal RING domain of NSP1 was mutated or the C-terminal 98 amino acids of NSP1 were deleted. The C-terminal RNase L degradation domain is positioned upstream and is functionally independent of the NSP1 domain necessary for inhibiting IFN expression. Our studies reveal a new role for NSP1 and its E3-ligase related activity as an antagonist of RNase L and uncover a novel virus-mediated strategy of inhibiting the OAS-RNase L pathway. IMPORTANCE For productive infection, rotavirus and other RNA viruses must suppress interferon (IFN) signaling and the expression of IFN-stimulated antiviral gene products. Particularly important is inhibiting the interferon (IFN)-inducible 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)-RNase L pathway, as activated RNase L can direct the nonspecific degradation of viral and cellular RNAs, thereby blocking viral replication and triggering cell death pathways. In this study, we have discovered that the simian SA11 strain of rotavirus employs a novel strategy of inhibiting the OAS-RNase L pathway. This strategy is mediated by SA11 NSP1, a nonstructural protein that hijacks E3 cullin-RING ligases, causing the ubiquitination and degradation of host proteins essential for IFN induction. Our analysis shows that SA11 NSP1 also recognizes and causes the ubiquitination of RNase L, an activity resulting in depletion of endogenous RNase L. These data raise the possibility of using therapeutics targeting cellular E3 ligases to control rotavirus infections.

Mutation of FMDV Lpro H138 residue drives viral attenuation in cell culture and in vivo in swine. Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:1028077.

Abstract
The foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) leader proteinase (Lpro) is a papain like protease that cleaves the viral polyprotein and several host factors affecting host cell translation and induction of innate immunity. Introduction of Lpro mutations ablating catalytic activity is not tolerated by the virus, however, complete coding sequence deletion or introduction of targeted amino acid substitutions can render viable progeny. In proof-of-concept studies, we have previously identified and characterized FMDV Lpro mutants that are attenuated in cell culture and in animals, while retaining their capacity for inducing a strong adaptive immunity. By using molecular modeling, we have now identified a His residue (H138), that resides outside the substrate binding and catalytic domain, and is highly conserved across serotypes. Mutation of H138 renders possible FMDV variants of reduced virulence in vitro and in vivo. Kinetics studies showed that FMDV A12-LH138L mutant replicates similarly to FMDV A12-wild type (WT) virus in cells that do not offer immune selective pressure, but attenuation is observed upon infection of primary or low passage porcine epithelial cells. Western blot analysis on protein extracts from these cells, revealed that while processing of translation initiation factor eIF-4G was slightly delayed, no degradation of innate sensors or effector molecules such as NF-κB or G3BP2 was observed, and higher levels of interferon (IFN) and IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) were induced after infection with A12-LH138L as compared to WT FMDV. Consistent with the results in porcine cells, inoculation of swine with this mutant resulted in a mild, or in some cases, no clinical disease but induction of a strong serological adaptive immune response. These results further support previous evidence that Lpro is a reliable target to derive numerous viable FMDV strains that alone or in combination could be exploited for the development of novel FMD vaccine platforms.

Abstract
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals with a significant socioeconomic impact. One of the issues related to this disease is the ability of its etiological agent, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), to persist in the organism of its hosts via underlying mechanisms that remain to be elucidated. The establishment of a virus–host equilibrium via protein–protein interactions could contribute to explaining these phenomena. FMDV has indeed developed numerous strategies to evade the immune response, especially the type I interferon response. Viral proteins target this innate antiviral response at different levels, ranging from blocking the detection of viral RNAs to inhibiting the expression of ISGs. The large diversity of impacts of these interactions must be considered in the light of the in vitro models that have been used to demonstrate them, some being sometimes far from biological systems. In this review, we have therefore listed the interactions between FMDV and the interferon response as exhaustively as possible, focusing on both their biological effect and the study models used.
