Abstract
Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus. It causes mortality in neonatal piglets and is of growing concern because of its broad host range, including humans. To date, the mechanism of PDCoV infection remains poorly understood. Here, based on a genome-wide CRISPR screen of PDCoV-infected cells, we found that HSP90AB1 (heat shock protein 90 alpha family class B1) promotes PDCoV infection. Knockdown or KO of HSP90AB1 in LLC-PK cells resulted in a significantly suppressed PDCoV infection. Infected cells treated with HSP90 inhibitors 17-AAG and VER-82576 also showed a significantly suppressed PDCoV infection, although KW-2478, which does not affect the ATPase activity of HSP90AB1, had no effect on PDCoV infection. We found that HSP90AB1 interacts with the N, NS7, and NSP10 proteins of PDCoV. We further evaluated the interaction between N and HSP90AB1 and found that the C-tail domain of the N protein is the HSP90AB1-interacting domain. Further studies showed that HSP90AB1 protects N protein from degradation via the proteasome pathway. In summary, our results reveal a key role for HSP90AB1 in the mechanism of PDCoV infection and contribute to provide new host targets for PDCoV antiviral research.

Abstract
Our knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms that govern the replication of the rubella virus (RV) in human cells is limited. To gain insight into the host-pathogen interaction, we conducted a loss-of-function screening using the CRISPR-Cas9 system in the human placenta-derived JAR cells. We identified sphingomyelin synthase 1 (SGMS1 or SMS1) as a susceptibility factor for RV infection. Genetic knockout of SGMS1 rendered JAR cells resistant to infection by RV. The re-introduction of SGMS1 restored cellular susceptibility to RV infection. The restricted step of RV infection was post-endocytosis processes associated with the endosomal acidification. In the late phase of the RV replication cycle, the maintenance of viral persistence was disrupted, partly due to the attenuated viral gene expression. Our results shed light on the unique regulation of RV replication by a host factor during the early and late phases of viral life cycle.

Abstract
Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) is an important swine enteric coronavirus causing viral diarrhea in pigs of all ages. Currently, the development of antiviral agents targeting host proteins to combat viral infection has received great attention. The heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a critical host factor and has important regulatory effects on the infection of various viruses. However, its roles in porcine coronavirus infection remain unclear. In this study, the effect of HSP90 on TGEV infection was evaluated. In addition, the influence of its inhibitor VER-82576 on proinflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, CXCL10, and CXCL11) production induced by TGEV infection was further analyzed. The results showed that the knockdown of HSP90AB1 and HSP90 inhibitor VER-82576 treatment resulted in a reduction in TGEV M gene mRNA levels, the N protein level, and virus titers in a dose-dependent manner, while the knockdown of HSP90AA1 and KW-2478 treatment had no significant effect on TGEV infection. A time-of-addition assay indicated that the inhibitory effect of VER-82576 on TGEV infection mainly occurred at the early stage of viral replication. Moreover, the TGEV-induced upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, CXCL10, and CXCL11) expression was significantly inhibited by VER-82576. In summary, these findings indicated that HSP90AB1 is a host factor enhancing TGEV infection, and the HSP90 inhibitor VER-82576 could reduce TGEV infection and proinflammatory cytokine production, providing a new perspective for TGEV antiviral drug target design.

Abstract
Misfolded proteins after stress-induced denaturation can regain their functions through correct re-folding with the aid of molecular chaperones. As a molecular chaperone, heat shock proteins (HSPs) can help client proteins fold correctly. During viral infection, HSPs are involved with replication, movement, assembly, disassembly, subcellular localization, and transport of the virus via the formation of macromolecular protein complexes, such as the viral replicase complex. Recent studies have indicated that HSP inhibitors can inhibit viral replication by interfering with the interaction of the virus with the HSP. In this review, we describe the function and classification of HSPs, the transcriptional mechanism of HSPs promoted by heat shock factors (HSFs), discuss the interaction between HSPs and viruses, and the mode of action of HSP inhibitors at two aspects of inhibiting the expression of HSPs and targeting the HSPs, and elaborate their potential use as antiviral agents.

Membrane Sphingomyelin in Host Cells Is Essential for Nucleocapsid Penetration into the Cytoplasm after Hemifusion during Rubella Virus Entry. mBio 2022; 13:e0169822.

Abstract
The lipid composition of the host cell membrane is one of the key determinants of the entry of enveloped viruses into cells. To elucidate the detailed mechanisms behind the cell entry of rubella virus (RuV), one of the enveloped viruses, we searched for host factors involved in such entry by using CRISPR/Cas9 genome-wide knockout screening, and we found sphingomyelin synthase 1 (SMS1), encoded by the SGMS1 gene, as a candidate. RuV growth was strictly suppressed in SGMS1-knockout cells and was completely recovered by the overexpression of enzymatically active SMS1 and partially recovered by that of SMS2, another member of the SMS family, but not by that of enzymatically inactive SMS1. An entry assay using pseudotyped vesicular stomatitis virus possessing RuV envelope proteins revealed that sphingomyelin generated by SMSs is crucial for at least RuV entry. In SGMS1-knockout cells, lipid mixing between the RuV envelope membrane and the membrane of host cells occurred, but entry of the RuV genome from the viral particles into the cytoplasm was strongly inhibited. This indicates that sphingomyelin produced by SMSs is essential for the formation of membrane pores after hemifusion occurs during RuV entry. IMPORTANCE Infection with rubella virus during pregnancy causes congenital rubella syndrome in infants. Despite its importance in public health, the detailed mechanisms of rubella virus cell entry have only recently become somewhat clearer. The E1 protein of rubella virus is classified as a class II fusion protein based on its structural similarity, but it has the unique feature that its activity is dependent on calcium ion binding in the fusion loops. In this study, we found another unique feature, as cellular sphingomyelin plays a critical role in the penetration of the nucleocapsid into the cytoplasm after hemifusion by rubella virus. This provides important insight into the entry mechanism of rubella virus. This study also presents a model of hemifusion arrest during cell entry by an intact virus, providing a useful tool for analyzing membrane fusion, a biologically important phenomenon.

Abstract
Adenoviruses can cause infections in people of all ages at all seasons of the year. Adenovirus infections cause mild to severe illnesses. Children, immunocompromised patients, or those with existing respiratory or cardiac disease are at higher risk. Unfortunately, there are no commercial drugs or vaccines available on the market for adenovirus infections. Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover new antiviral drugs or drug targets for adenovirus infections. To identify potential antiviral agents for adenovirus infections, we screened a drug library containing 2138 compounds, most of which are drugs with known targets and past phase I clinical trials. On a cell-based assay, we identified 131 hits that inhibit adenoviruses type 3 and 5. A secondary screen confirmed the antiviral effects of 59 inhibitors that inhibit the replication of adenoviruses type 3 or 5. Most of the inhibitors target heat shock protein, protein tyrosine kinase, the mTOR signaling pathway, and other host factors, suggesting that these host factors may be essential for replicating adenoviruses. Through this study, the newly identified adenovirus inhibitors may provide a start point for developing new antiviral drugs to treat adenovirus infections. Further validation of the identified drug targets can help the development of new therapeutics against adenovirus infections.

Abstract
PDCoV is an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus that mainly causes acute diarrhea in piglets, seriously affecting pig breeding industries worldwide. To date, the molecular mechanisms of PDCoV-induced immune and inflammatory responses or host responses in LLC-PK cells in vitro are not well understood. HSP90 plays important roles in various viral infections. In this study, HSP90AB1 knockout cells (HSP90AB1KO) were constructed and a comparative transcriptomic analysis between PDCoV-infected HSP90AB1WT and HSP90AB1KO cells was conducted using RNA sequencing to explore the effect of HSP90AB1 on PDCoV infection. A total of 1295 and 3746 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in PDCoV-infected HSP90AB1WT and HSP90AB1KO cells, respectively. Moreover, most of the significantly enriched pathways were related to immune and inflammatory response-associated pathways upon PDCoV infection. The DEGs enriched in NF-κB pathways were specifically detected in HSP90AB1WT cells, and NF-κB inhibitors JSH-23, SC75741 and QNZ treatment reduced PDCoV infection. Further research revealed most cytokines associated with immune and inflammatory responses were upregulated during PDCoV infection. Knockout of HSP90AB1 altered the upregulated levels of some cytokines. Taken together, our findings provide new insights into the host response to PDCoV infection from the transcriptome perspective, which will contribute to illustrating the molecular basis of the interaction between PDCoV and HSP90AB1.

HSP90 inhibitors 17-AAG and VER-82576 inhibit porcine deltacoronavirus replication in vitro. Vet Microbiol 2021; 265:109316. [PMID: 34954542 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2021.109316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is highly pathogenic to piglets, and no specific drugs or vaccines are available for the prevention and treatment of PDCoV infection, the need for antiviral therapies is pressing. HSP90 inhibitors have potent inhibitory effects against the replication of numerous viruses, hence we evaluated three HSP90 inhibitors, 17-AAG, VER-82576, and KW-2478, for their effects on PDCoV infection in vitro. We evaluated their effectivenesses at suppressing PDCoV by qRT-PCR, western blot, and TCID50 assay, and found that 17-AAG and VER-82576 inhibited PDCoV at the early stage of replication, while KW-2478 showed no significant antiviral activity at any stage of infection. These results indicated that the PDCoV-inhibitory effects of 17-AAG and VER-82576 might be exerted by targeting host cell factor HSP90AB1 but not HSP90AA1. Further study showed that HSP90AB1 mRNA and protein levels were not significantly different in 17-AAG and VER-82576-treated cells versus control cells. 17-AAG and VER-82576 were also evaluated for their effects on the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12, which are PDCoV-induced proinflammatory cytokines. We found that both 17-AAG and VER-82576 inhibited the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12 to varying degrees, but in a dose dependent manner. From our data we can conclude that the HSP90 inhibitors 17-AAG and VER-82576 are promising candidates for the treatment of PDCoV infection.

Abstract
Maintenance of a functional proteome is achieved through the mechanism of proteostasis that involves precise coordination between molecular machineries assisting a protein from its conception to demise. Although each organelle within a cell has its own set of proteostasis machinery, inter-organellar communication and cell non-autonomous signaling bring forth the multidimensional nature of the proteostasis network. Exposure to extrinsic and intrinsic stressors can challenge the proteostasis network, leading to the accumulation of aberrant proteins or a decline in the proteostasis components, as seen during aging and in several diseases. Here, we summarize recent advances in understanding the role of proteostasis and its regulation in aging and disease, including monogenetic and infectious diseases. We highlight some of the emerging as well as unresolved questions in proteostasis that need to be addressed to overcome pathologies associated with damaged proteins and to promote healthy aging.

Hsp90 Is Required for Snakehead Vesiculovirus Replication via Stabilization of the Viral L Protein. J Virol 2021; 95:e0059421.

Abstract
Snakehead vesiculovirus (SHVV), a kind of fish rhabdovirus isolated from diseased hybrid snakehead fish, has caused great economic losses in snakehead fish culture in China. The large (L) protein, together with its cofactor phosphoprotein (P), forms a P/L polymerase complex and catalyzes the transcription and replication of viral genomic RNA. In this study, the cellular heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) was identified as an interacting partner of SHVV L protein. Hsp90 activity was required for the stability of SHVV L because Hsp90 dysfunction caused by using its inhibitor destabilized SHVV L and thereby suppressed SHVV replication via reducing viral RNA synthesis. SHVV L expressed alone was detected mainly in the insoluble fraction, and the insoluble L was degraded by Hsp90 dysfunction through the proteasomal pathway, while the presence of SHVV P promoted the solubility of SHVV L and the soluble L was degraded by Hsp90 dysfunction through the autophagy pathway. Collectively, our data suggest that Hsp90 contributes to the maturation of SHVV L and ensures the effective replication of SHVV, which exhibits an important anti-SHVV target. This study will help us to understand the role of Hsp90 in stabilizing the L protein and regulating the replication of negative-stranded RNA viruses. IMPORTANCE It has long been proposed that cellular proteins are involved in viral RNA synthesis via interacting with the viral polymerase protein. This study focused on identifying cellular proteins interacting with the SHVV L protein, studying the effects of their interactions on SHVV replication, and revealing the underlying mechanisms. We identified Hsp90 as an interacting partner of SHVV L and found that Hsp90 activity was required for SHVV replication. Hsp90 functioned in maintaining the stability of SHVV L. Inhibition of Hsp90 activity with its inhibitor degraded SHVV L through different pathways based on the solubility of SHVV L due to the presence or absence of SHVV P. Our data provide important insights into the role of Hsp90 in SHVV polymerase maturation, which will help us to understand the polymerase function of negative-stranded RNA viruses.

Radicicol Inhibits Chikungunya Virus Replication by Targeting Nonstructural Protein 2. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2021; 65:e0013521.

Abstract
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus that causes a debilitating febrile illness characterized by persistent muscle and joint pain. The widespread distribution of transmission-competent vectors, Aedes species mosquitoes, indicates the potential risk of large-scale epidemics with high attack rates that can severely impact public health globally. Despite this, currently, there are no antivirals available for the treatment of CHIKV infections. Thus, we aimed to identify potential drug candidates by screening a chemical library using a cytopathic effect-based high-throughput screening assay. As a result, we identified radicicol, a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor that effectively suppressed CHIKV replication by blocking the synthesis of both positive- and negative-strand viral RNA as well as expression of viral proteins. Interestingly, selection for viral drug-resistant variants and mutational studies revealed nonstructural protein 2 (nsP2) as a putative molecular target of radicicol. Moreover, coimmunoprecipitation and in silico modeling analyses determined that G641D mutation in the methyltransferase (MT)-like domain of nsP2 is essential for its interaction with cytoplasmic Hsp90β chaperone. Our findings collectively support the potential application of radicicol as an anti-CHIKV agent. The detailed study of the underlying mechanism of action further contributes to our understanding of virus-host interactions for novel therapeutics against CHIKV infection.

Abstract
Drug reposition, or repurposing, has become a promising strategy in therapeutics due to its advantages in several aspects of drug therapy. General drug development is expensive and can take more than 10 years to go through the designing, development, and necessary approval steps. However, established drugs have already overcome these steps and thus a potential candidate may be already available decreasing the risks and costs involved. Viruses invade cells, usually provoking biochemical changes, leading to tissue damage, alteration of normal physiological condition in organisms and can even result in death. Inside the cell, the virus finds the machinery necessary for its multiplication, as for instance the protein quality control system, which involves chaperones and Hsps (heat shock proteins) that, in addition to physiological functions, help in the stabilization of viral proteins. Recently, many inhibitors of Hsp90 have been developed as therapeutic strategies against diseases such as the Hsp90 inhibitors used in anticancer therapy. Several shreds of evidence indicate that these inhibitors can also be used as therapeutic strategies against viruses. Therefore, since a drug treatment for COVID-19 is urgently needed, this review aims to discuss the potential use of Hsp90 inhibitors in the treatment of this globally threatening disease.
