Abstract
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is one of the prominent gene delivery vehicles that has opened promising opportunities for novel gene therapeutic approaches. However, the current major viral vector production platform, triple transfection in mammalian cells, may not meet the increasing demand. Thus, it is highly required to understand production bottlenecks from the host cell perspective and engineer the cells to be more favorable and tolerant to viral vector production, thereby effectively enhancing rAAV manufacturing. In this review, we provided a comprehensive exploration of the intricate cellular process involved in rAAV production, encompassing various stages such as plasmid entry to the cytoplasm, plasmid trafficking and nuclear delivery, rAAV structural/non-structural protein expression, viral capsid assembly, genome replication, genome packaging, and rAAV release/secretion. The knowledge in the fundamental biology of host cells supporting viral replication as manufacturing factories or exhibiting defending behaviors against viral production is summarized for each stage. The control strategies from the perspectives of host cell and materials (e.g., AAV plasmids) are proposed as our insights based on the characterization of molecular features and our existing knowledge of the AAV viral life cycle, rAAV and other viral vector production in the Human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells.

Abstract
SMC and SMC-like complexes promote chromosome folding and genome maintenance in all domains of life. Recently, they were also recognized as factors in cellular immunity against foreign DNA. In bacteria and archaea, Wadjet and Lamassu are anti-plasmid/phage defence systems, while Smc5/6 and Rad50 complexes play a role in anti-viral immunity in humans. This raises an intriguing paradox - how can the same, or closely related, complexes on one hand secure the integrity and maintenance of chromosomal DNA, while on the other recognize and restrict extrachromosomal DNA? In this minireview, we will briefly describe the latest understanding of each of these complexes in immunity including speculations on how principles of SMC(-like) function may explain how the systems recognize linear or circular forms of invading DNA.

Abstract
Parvoviruses are single-stranded DNA viruses that utilize host proteins to vigorously replicate in the nuclei of host cells, leading to cell cycle arrest. The autonomous parvovirus, minute virus of mice (MVM), forms viral replication centers in the nucleus which are adjacent to cellular DNA damage response (DDR) sites, many of which are fragile genomic regions prone to undergoing DDR during the S phase. Since the cellular DDR machinery has evolved to transcriptionally suppress the host epigenome to maintain genomic fidelity, the successful expression and replication of MVM genomes at these cellular sites suggest that MVM interacts with DDR machinery distinctly. Here, we show that efficient replication of MVM requires binding of the host DNA repair protein MRE11 in a manner that is independent of the MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complex. MRE11 binds to the replicating MVM genome at the P4 promoter, remaining distinct from RAD50 and NBS1, which associate with cellular DNA break sites to generate DDR signals in the host genome. Ectopic expression of wild-type MRE11 in CRISPR knockout cells rescues virus replication, revealing a dependence on MRE11 for efficient MVM replication. Our findings suggest a new model utilized by autonomous parvoviruses to usurp local DDR proteins that are crucial for viral pathogenesis and distinct from those of dependoparvoviruses, like adeno-associated virus (AAV), which require a coinfected helper virus to inactivate the local host DDR. IMPORTANCE The cellular DNA damage response (DDR) machinery protects the host genome from the deleterious consequences of DNA breaks and recognizes invading viral pathogens. DNA viruses that replicate in the nucleus have evolved distinct strategies to evade or usurp these DDR proteins. We have discovered that the autonomous parvovirus, MVM, which is used to target cancer cells as an oncolytic agent, depends on the initial DDR sensor protein MRE11 to express and replicate efficiently in host cells. Our studies reveal that the host DDR interacts with replicating MVM molecules in ways that are distinct from viral genomes being recognized as simple broken DNA molecules. These findings suggest that autonomous parvoviruses have evolved distinct mechanisms to usurp DDR proteins, which can be used to design potent DDR-dependent oncolytic agents.

Abstract
Beta human papillomavirus (β-HPV) are hypothesized to make DNA damage more mutagenic and potentially more carcinogenic. Double strand breaks (DSBs) are the most deleterious DNA lesion. They are typically repaired by homologous recombination (HR) or non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). HR occurs after DNA replication while NHEJ can occur at any point in the cell cycle. HR and NHEJ are not thought to occur in the same cell at the same time. HR is restricted to cells in phases of the cell cycle where homologous templates are available, while NHEJ occurs primarily during G1. β-HPV type 8 protein E6 (8E6) attenuates both repair pathways. We use a series of immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry experiments to better define the impact of this attenuation. We found that 8E6 causes colocalization of HR factors (RPA70 and RAD51) with an NHEJ factor (activated DNA-PKcs or pDNA-PKcs) at persistent DSBs. 8E6 also causes RAD51 foci to form during G1. The initiation of NHEJ and HR at the same lesion could lead to antagonistic DNA end processing. Further, HR cannot be readily completed in an error-free manner during G1. Both aberrant repair events would cause deletions. To determine if these mutations were occurring, we used next generation sequencing of the 200kb surrounding a CAS9-induced DSB. 8E6 caused a 21-fold increase in deletions. Chemical and genetic inhibition of p300 as well as an 8E6 mutant that is incapable of destabilizing p300 demonstrates that 8E6 is acting via p300 destabilization. More specific chemical inhibitors of DNA repair provided mechanistic insight by mimicking 8E6-induced dysregulation of DNA repair in a virus-free system. Specifically, inhibition of NHEJ causes RAD51 foci to form in G1 and colocalization of RAD51 with pDNA-PKcs. Our previous work shows that a master transcription regulator, p300, facilitates two major DNA double strand break (DSB) repair pathways: non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). By degrading p300, beta genus human papillomavirus 8 protein E6 (8E6) hinders pDNA-PKcs resolution, an essential step during NHEJ. NHEJ and HR are known to compete, with only one pathway initiating repair of a DSB. NHEJ tends to be used in G1 and HR occurs in S/G2. Here, we show that 8E6 allows NHEJ and HR to initiate at the same break site. We show that 8E6 allows HR to initiate in G1, suggesting that NHEJ starts but fails before HR is initiated at the same DSB. Next generation sequencing of the region surrounding a CAS9-induced DSB supports our hypothesis that this dysregulation of DSB repair is mutagenic as 8E6 caused a 15- to 20-fold increase in mutations associated with a CAS9-induced DSB. These studies support the putative role of HPV8 infections in non-melanoma skin cancer development.

Abstract
DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is initiated by MRE11 nuclease for both homology-directed repair (HDR) and alternative end joining (Alt-EJ). Here, we found that GRB2, crucial to timely proliferative RAS/MAPK pathway activation, unexpectedly forms a biophysically validated GRB2-MRE11 (GM) complex for efficient HDR initiation. GRB2-SH2 domain targets the GM complex to phosphorylated H2AX at DSBs. GRB2 K109 ubiquitination by E3 ubiquitin ligase RBBP6 releases MRE11 promoting HDR. RBBP6 depletion results in prolonged GM complex and HDR defects. GRB2 knockout increased MRE11-XRCC1 complex and Alt-EJ. Reconstitution with separation-of-function GRB2 mutant caused HDR deficiency and synthetic lethality with PARP inhibitor. Cell and cancer genome analyses suggest biomarkers of low GRB2 for noncanonical HDR deficiency and high MRE11 and GRB2 expression for worse survival in HDR-proficient patients. These findings establish GRB2's role in binding, targeting, and releasing MRE11 to promote efficient HDR over Alt-EJ DSB repair, with implications for genome stability and cancer biology.

Abstract
Recombinant adeno-associated virus has emerged as one of the most promising gene therapy delivery vectors. Development of these vectors took advantage of key features of the wild-type adeno-associated virus (AAV), enabled by basic studies of the underlying biology and requirements for transcription, replication, and packaging of the viral genome. Each step in generating and utilizing viral vectors involves numerous molecular interactions that together determine the efficiency of vector production and gene delivery. Once delivered into the cell, interactions with host proteins will determine the fate of the viral genome, and these will impact the intended goal of gene delivery. Here, we provide an overview of known interactions of the AAV genome with viral and cellular proteins involved in its amplification, packaging, and expression. Further appreciation of how the AAV genome interacts with host factors will enhance how this simple virus can be harnessed for an array of vector purposes that benefit human health.

Abstract
Viral DNA genomes have limited coding capacity and therefore harness cellular factors to facilitate replication of their genomes and generate progeny virions. Studies of viruses and how they interact with cellular processes have historically provided seminal insights into basic biology and disease mechanisms. The replicative life cycles of many DNA viruses have been shown to engage components of the host DNA damage and repair machinery. Viruses have evolved numerous strategies to navigate the cellular DNA damage response. By hijacking and manipulating cellular replication and repair processes, DNA viruses can selectively harness or abrogate distinct components of the cellular machinery to complete their life cycles. Here, we highlight consequences for viral replication and host genome integrity during the dynamic interactions between virus and host.

Abstract
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are one of the most frequently applied gene transfer systems in research and human clinical trials. Since AAV vectors do not possess an integrase activity, application is restricted to terminally differentiated tissues if transgene expression is required long term. To overcome this limitation and to generate AAV vectors that persist episomally in dividing cells, AAV vector genomes were equipped with a scaffold/matrix attachment region (S/MAR). After a mild antibiotic selection, cells transduced with AAV-S/MAR established colonies that maintained long-term transgene expression (>50 population doublings) from replicating AAV vector episomes in the absence of further selection. Unexpectedly, with a lesser but still significant efficiency, the control vector (AAV-ΔS/MAR), a standard single-stranded AAV vector, also established stable transgene-expressing colonies, most of which were maintained as replicating episomes rather than integrated vector genomes. Thus, based on the result in HeLa cells, it is concluded that AAV vector genomes per se possess the ability to establish episomal maintenance in proliferating cells, a feature that can be enhanced by incorporation of a foreign genomic element such as an S/MAR element.

Abstract
Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV), a γ2-herpesvirus and class 1 carcinogen, is responsible for at least three human malignancies: Kaposi Sarcoma (KS), Primary Effusion Lymphoma (PEL) and Multicentric Castleman's Disease (MCD). Its major nuclear latency protein, LANA, is indispensable for the maintenance and replication of latent viral DNA in infected cells. Although LANA is mainly a nuclear protein, cytoplasmic isoforms of LANA exist and can act as antagonists of the cytoplasmic DNA sensor, cGAS. Here, we show that cytosolic LANA also recruits members of the MRN (Mre11-Rad50-NBS1) repair complex in the cytosol and thereby inhibits their recently reported role in the sensing of cytoplasmic DNA and activation of the NF-κB pathway. Inhibition of NF-κB activation by cytoplasmic LANA is accompanied by increased lytic replication in KSHV-infected cells, suggesting that MRN-dependent NF-κB activation contributes to KSHV latency. Cytoplasmic LANA may therefore support the activation of KSHV lytic replication in part by counteracting the activation of NF-κB in response to cytoplasmic DNA. This would complement the recently described role of cytoplasmic LANA in blocking an interferon response triggered by cGAS and thereby promoting lytic reactivation. Our findings highlight a second point at which cytoplasmic LANA interferes with the innate immune response, as well as the importance of the recently discovered role of cytoplasmic MRN complex members as innate sensors of cytoplasmic DNA for the control of KSHV replication.

Abstract
Recombinant AAV vectors (rAAV) are considered as very efficient tools for in vivo gene transfer. Accordingly, several preclinical and clinical gene therapy trials use these vectors to treat inherited and acquired diseases. rAAV vectors possess the capacity to persist for a long term in the transduced tissue in a transcriptionally active, extra-chromosomal (episomal) form. However, many studies have shown that a significant fraction of the rAAV genomes can also nonspecifically integrate into the host cell genome thus raising the possibility of insertional mutagenesis events. This review summarizes the current knowledge on integration of wild type and rAAV genomes and highlights the major questions which remain unresolved.
