Abstract
Pancreatic cancer will soon become the second cause of death by cancer in Western countries. The main barrier to increase the survival of patients with this disease requires the development of novel and efficient therapeutic strategies that better consider tumor biology. In this context, oncolytic viruses emerge as promising therapeutics. Among them, the fibrotropic minute virus of mice prototype (MVMp) preferentially infects migrating and undifferentiated cells that highly resemble poorly differentiated, basal-like pancreatic tumors showing the worst clinical outcome. We report here that MVMp specifically infects, replicates in, and kills pancreatic cancer cells from murine and human origin with a mesenchymal, basal-like profile, while sparing cancer cells with an epithelial phenotype. Remarkably, MVMp infection, at a dose that does not provoke tumor growth inhibition in athymic mice, shows significant antitumoral effect in immune-competent models; extended mouse survival; and promoted the massive infiltration of tumors by innate, myeloid, and cytotoxic T cells that exhibit a less terminally exhausted phenotype. Collectively, we demonstrate herein for the first time that MVMp is specific and oncolytic for pancreatic tumors with mesenchymal, basal-like profile, paving the way for precision-medicine opportunities for the management of the most aggressive and lethal form of this disease.

Abstract
Parvoviruses are a group of non-enveloped DNA viruses that have a broad spectrum of natural infections, making them important in public health. NS1 is the largest and most complex non-structural protein in the parvovirus genome, which is indispensable in the life cycle of parvovirus and is closely related to viral replication, induction of host cell apoptosis, cycle arrest, DNA damage response (DDR), and other processes. Parvovirus activates and utilizes the DDR pathway to promote viral replication through NS1, thereby increasing pathogenicity to the host cells. Here, we review the latest progress of parvovirus in regulating host cell DDR during the parvovirus lifecycle and discuss the potential of cellular consequences of regulating the DDR pathway, targeting to provide the theoretical basis for further elucidation of the pathogenesis of parvovirus and development of new antiviral drugs.

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
Minute Virus of Mice (MVM) is an autonomous parvovirus of the Parvoviridae family that replicates in mouse cells and transformed human cells. MVM genomes localize to cellular sites of DNA damage with the help of their essential non-structural phosphoprotein NS1 to establish viral replication centers. MVM replication induces a cellular DNA damage response that is mediated by signaling through the ATM kinase pathway, while inhibiting induction of the ATR kinase signaling pathway. However, the cellular signals regulating virus localization to cellular DNA damage response sites has remained unknown. Using chemical inhibitors to DNA damage response proteins, we have discovered that NS1 localization to cellular DDR sites is independent of ATM or DNA-PK signaling but is dependent on ATR signaling. Pulsing cells with an ATR inhibitor after S-phase entry leads to attenuated MVM replication. These observations suggest that the initial localization of MVM to cellular DDR sites depends on ATR signaling before it is inactivated by vigorous virus replication.

Abstract
BackgroundsHepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major risk factor for chronic liver diseases and liver cancer (mainly hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC), while the underlying mechanisms and host-virus interactions are still largely elusive.MethodsWe applied HiC sequencing to HepG2 (HBV-) and HepG2-2.2.15 (HBV+) cell lines and combined them with public HCC single-cell RNA-seq data, HCC bulk RNA-seq data, and both genomic and epigenomic ChIP-seq data to reveal potential disease mechanisms of HBV infection and host-virus interactions reflected by 3D genome organization.ResultsWe found that HBV enhanced overall proximal chromatin interactions (CIs) of liver cells and primarily affected regional CIs on chromosomes 13, 14, 17, and 22. Interestingly, HBV altered the boundaries of many topologically associating domains (TADs), and genes nearby these boundaries showed functional enrichment in cell adhesion which may promote cancer metastasis. Moreover, A/B compartment analysis revealed dramatic changes on chromosomes 9, 13 and 21, with more B compartments (inactive or closed) shifting to A compartments (active or open). The A-to-B regions (closing) harbored enhancers enriched in the regulation of inflammatory responses, whereas B-to-A regions (opening) were enriched for transposable elements (TE). Furthermore, we identified large HBV-induced structural variations (SVs) that disrupted tumor suppressors, NLGN4Y and PROS1. Finally, we examined differentially expressed genes and TEs in single hepatocytes with or without HBV infection, by using single-cell RNA-seq data. Consistent with our HiC sequencing findings, two upregulated genes that promote HBV replication, HNF4A and NR5A2, were located in regions with HBV-enhanced CIs, and five TEs were located in HBV-activated regions. Therefore, HBV may promote liver diseases by affecting the human 3D genome structure.ConclusionOur work promotes mechanistic understanding of HBV infection and host-virus interactions related to liver diseases that affect billions of people worldwide. Our findings may also have implications for novel immunotherapeutic strategies targeting HBV infection.

Abstract
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) belongs to the Dependoparvovirus genus of the Parvoviridae family. AAV replication relies on a helper virus, such as adenovirus (Ad). Co-infection of AAV and Ad induces a DNA damage response (DDR), although its function in AAV DNA replication remains unknown. In this study, monoinfection of AAV2 in HEK293T cells expressing a minimal set of Ad helper genes was used to investigate the role of the DDR solely induced by AAV. We found that AAV2 DNA replication, but not single stranded (ss)DNA genome accumulation and Rep expression only, induced a robust DDR in HEK293T cells. The induced DDR featured the phosphorylation of replication protein A32 (RPA32), histone variant H2AX (H2A histone family member X), and all 3 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinases (PIKKs). We also found that the kinase ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR) plays a major role in AAV2 DNA replication and that Y family DNA repair DNA polymerases η (Pol η) and Pol κ contribute to AAV2 DNA replication both in vitro and in HEK293T cells. Knockout of Pol η and Pol κ in HEK293T cells significantly decreased wild-type AAV2 replication and recombinant AAV2 production. Thus, our study has proven that AAV2 DNA replication induces a DDR, which in turn initiates a DNA repairing process that partially contributes to the viral genome amplification in HEK293T cells. IMPORTANCE Recombinant AAV (rAAV) has emerged as one of the preferred delivery vectors for clinical gene therapy. rAAV production in HEK293 cells by transfection of a rAAV transgene plasmid, an AAV Rep and Cap expression packaging plasmid, and an Ad helper plasmid remains the popular method. Here, we demonstrated that the high fidelity Y family DNA repair DNA polymerase, Pol η, and Pol κ, plays a significant role in AAV DNA replication and rAAV production in HEK293T cells. Understanding the AAV DNA replication mechanism in HEK293T cells could provide clues to increase rAAV vector yield produced from the transfection method. We also provide evidence that the ATR-mediated DNA repair process through Pol η and Pol κ is one of the mechanisms to amplify AAV genome, which could explain AAV replication and rAAV ssDNA genome conversion in mitotic quiescent cells.

Abstract
It is unclear how the activation of HIV-1 transcription affects chromatin structure. We interrogated chromatin organization both genome-wide and nearby HIV-1 integration sites using Hi-C and ATAC-seq. In conjunction, we analyzed the transcription of the HIV-1 genome and neighboring genes. We found that long-range chromatin contacts did not differ significantly between uninfected cells and those harboring an integrated HIV-1 genome, whether the HIV-1 genome was actively transcribed or inactive. Instead, the activation of HIV-1 transcription changes chromatin accessibility immediately downstream of the provirus, demonstrating that HIV-1 can alter local cellular chromatin structure. Finally, we examined HIV-1 and neighboring host gene transcripts with long-read sequencing and found populations of chimeric RNAs both virus-to-host and host-to-virus. Thus, multiomics profiling revealed that the activation of HIV-1 transcription led to local changes in chromatin organization and altered the expression of neighboring host genes.

Abstract
The nuclear export factor CRM1-mediated pathway is known to be important for the nuclear egress of progeny parvovirus capsids in the host cells with virus-mediated cell cycle arrest at G2/M. However, it is still unclear whether this is the only pathway by which capsids exit the nucleus. Our studies show that the nuclear egress of DNA-containing full canine parvovirus. capsids was reduced but not fully inhibited when CRM1-mediated nuclear export was prevented by leptomycin B. This suggests that canine parvovirus capsids might use additional routes for nuclear escape. This hypothesis was further supported by our findings that nuclear envelope (NE) permeability was increased at the late stages of infection. Inhibitors of cell cycle regulatory protein cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1) and pro-apoptotic caspase 3 prevented the NE leakage. The change in NE permeability could be explained by the regulation of the G2/M checkpoint which is accompanied by early mitotic and apoptotic events. The model of G2/M checkpoint activation was supported by infection-induced nuclear accumulation of cyclin B1 and Cdk1. Both NE permeability and nuclear egress of capsids were reduced by the inhibition of Cdk1. Additional proof of checkpoint function regulation and promotion of apoptotic events was the nucleocytoplasmic redistribution of nuclear transport factors, importins, and Ran, in late infection. Consistent with our findings, post-translational histone acetylation that promotes the regulation of several genes related to cell cycle transition and arrest was detected. In conclusion, the model we propose implies that parvoviral capsid egress partially depends on infection-induced G2/M checkpoint regulation involving early mitotic and apoptotic events.

Abstract
Mammalian chromosomes undergo varying degrees of compression to form three-dimensional genome structures. These three-dimensional structures undergo dynamic and precise chromatin interactions to achieve precise spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression. Most eukaryotic DNA viruses can invade their genomes into the nucleus. However, it is still poorly understood how the viral genome is precisely positioned after entering the host cell nucleus to find the most suitable location and whether it can specifically interact with the host genome to hijack the host transcriptional factories or even integrate into the host genome to complete its transcription and replication rapidly. Chromosome conformation capture technology can reveal long-range chromatin interactions between different chromosomal sites in the nucleus, potentially providing a reference for viral DNA-host chromatin interactions. This review summarized the research progress on the three-dimensional interaction between virus and host genome and the impact of virus integration into the host genome on gene transcription regulation, aiming to provide new insights into chromatin interaction and viral gene transcription regulation, laying the foundation for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Abstract
Subcellular organization is essential for life. Cells organize their functions into organelles to concentrate their machinery and supplies for optimal efficiency. Likewise, viruses organize their replication machinery into compartments or factories within their host cells for optimal replicative efficiency. In this review, we discuss how DNA viruses that infect both eukaryotic cells and bacteria assemble replication compartments for synthesis of progeny viral DNA and transcription of the viral genome. Eukaryotic DNA viruses assemble replication compartments in the nucleus of the host cell while DNA bacteriophages assemble compartments called phage nuclei in the bacterial cytoplasm. Thus, DNA viruses infecting host cells from different domains of life share common replication strategies.

Abstract
Autonomous parvoviruses encode at least two nonstructural proteins, NS1 and NS2. While NS1 is linked to important nuclear processes required for viral replication, much less is known about the role of NS2. Specifically, the function of canine parvovirus (CPV) NS2 has remained undefined. Here we have used proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) to screen for nuclear proteins that associate with CPV NS2. Many of these associations were seen both in noninfected and infected cells, however, the major type of interacting proteins shifted from nuclear envelope proteins to chromatin-associated proteins in infected cells. BioID interactions revealed a potential role for NS2 in DNA remodeling and damage response. Studies of mutant viral genomes with truncated forms of the NS2 protein suggested a change in host chromatin accessibility. Moreover, further studies with NS2 mutants indicated that NS2 performs functions that affect the quantity and distribution of proteins linked to DNA damage response. Notably, mutation in the splice donor site of the NS2 led to a preferred formation of small viral replication center foci instead of the large coalescent centers seen in wild-type infection. Collectively, our results provide insights into potential roles of CPV NS2 in controlling chromatin remodeling and DNA damage response during parvoviral replication. Parvoviruses are small, nonenveloped DNA viruses, that besides being noteworthy pathogens in many animal species, including humans, are also being developed as vectors for gene and cancer therapy. Canine parvovirus is an autonomously replicating parvovirus that encodes two nonstructural proteins, NS1 and NS2. NS1 is required for viral DNA replication and packaging, as well as gene expression. However, very little is known about the function of NS2. Our studies indicate that NS2 serves a previously undefined important function in chromatin modification and DNA damage responses. Therefore, it appears that although both NS1 and NS2 are needed for a productive infection they play very different roles in the process.

Abstract
Viruses that transcribe their DNA within the nucleus have to adapt to the existing cellular mechanisms that govern transcriptional regulation. Recent technological breakthroughs have highlighted the highly hierarchical organization of the cellular genome and its role in the regulation of gene expression. This review provides an updated overview on the current knowledge on how the hepatitis B virus interacts with the cellular 3D genome and its consequences on viral and cellular gene expression. We also briefly discuss the strategies developed by other DNA viruses to co-opt and sometimes subvert cellular genome spatial organization.

Abstract
Human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1), an autonomous human parvovirus, causes acute respiratory tract infections in young children. HBoV1 infects well-differentiated (polarized) human airway epithelium cultured at an air-liquid interface (HAE-ALI). HBoV1 expresses a large nonstructural protein, NS1, that is essential for viral DNA replication. HBoV1 infection of polarized human airway epithelial cells induces a DNA damage response (DDR) that is critical to viral DNA replication involving DNA repair with error-free Y-family DNA polymerases. HBoV1 NS1 or the isoform NS1-70 per se induces a DDR. In this study, using the second-generation proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID2) approach, we identified that Ku70 is associated with the NS1-BioID2 pulldown complex through a direct interaction with NS1. Biolayer interferometry (BLI) assay determined a high binding affinity of NS1 with Ku70, which has an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) value of 0.16 μM and processes the strongest interaction at the C-terminal domain. The association of Ku70 with NS1 was also revealed during HBoV1 infection of HAE-ALI. Knockdown of Ku70 and overexpression of the C-terminal domain of Ku70 significantly decreased HBoV1 replication in HAE-ALI. Thus, our study provides, for the first time, a direct interaction of parvovirus large nonstructural protein NS1 with Ku70. IMPORTANCE Parvovirus infection induces a DNA damage response (DDR) that plays a pivotal role in viral DNA replication. The DDR includes activation of ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated), ATR (ATM- and RAD3-related), and DNA-PKcs (DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit). The large nonstructural protein (NS1) often plays a role in the induction of DDR; however, how the DDR is induced during parvovirus infection or simply by the NS1 is not well studied. Activation of DNA-PKcs has been shown as one of the key DDR pathways in DNA replication of HBoV1. We identified that HBoV1 NS1 directly interacts with Ku70, but not Ku80, of the Ku70/Ku80 heterodimer at high affinity. This interaction is also important for HBoV1 replication in HAE-ALI. We propose that the interaction of NS1 with Ku70 recruits the Ku70/Ku80 complex to the viral DNA replication center, which activates DNA-PKcs and facilitates viral DNA replication.

Abstract
Nuclear DNA viruses simultaneously access cellular factors that aid their life cycle while evading inhibitory factors by localizing to distinct nuclear sites. Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAVs), which are Dependoviruses in the family Parvovirinae, are non-enveloped icosahedral viruses, that have been developed as recombinant AAV vectors (rAAV) to express transgenes. AAV2 expression and replication occur in nuclear viral replication centers (VRCs), which relies on cellular replication machinery as well as coinfection by helper viruses such as adenoviruses or herpesviruses, or exogenous DNA damage to host cells. AAV2 infection induces a complex cellular DNA damage response (DDR), either in response to viral DNA or viral proteins expressed in the host nucleus during infection, where VRCs colocalize with DDR proteins. We have previously developed a modified iteration of a viral chromosome conformation capture (V3C-seq) assay to show that the autonomous parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVM) localizes to cellular sites of DNA damage to establish and amplify its replication. Similar V3C-seq assays to map AAV2 show that the AAV2 genome colocalized with cellular sites of DNA damage under both non-replicating and replicating conditions. The AAV2 non-structural protein Rep 68/78, also localized to cellular DDR sites during both non-replicating and replicating infections, and also when ectopically expressed. Ectopically expressed Rep could be efficiently re-localized to DDR sites induced by micro-irradiation. Recombinant AAV2 gene therapy vector genomes derived from AAV2 localized to sites of cellular DNA damage to a lesser degree, suggesting that the Inverted Terminal Repeat (ITR) origins of replication were insufficient for targeting.

Abstract
Viral infection is intrinsically linked to the capacity of the virus to generate progeny. Many DNA and some RNA viruses need to access the nuclear machinery and therefore transverse the nuclear envelope barrier through the nuclear pore complex. Viral genomes then become chromatinized either in their episomal form or upon integration into the host genome. Interactions with host DNA, transcription factors or nuclear bodies mediate their replication. Often interfering with nuclear functions, viruses use nuclear architecture to ensure persistent infections. Discovering these multiple modes of replication and persistence served in unraveling many important nuclear processes, such as nuclear trafficking, transcription, and splicing. Here, by using examples of DNA and RNA viral families, we portray the nucleus with the virus inside.

Abstract
Parvoviruses are small single-stranded (ss) DNA viruses, which replicate in the nucleoplasm and affect both the structure and function of the nucleus. The nuclear stage of the parvovirus life cycle starts at the nuclear entry of incoming capsids and culminates in the successful passage of progeny capsids out of the nucleus. In this review, we will present past, current, and future microscopy and biochemical techniques and demonstrate their potential in revealing the dynamics and molecular interactions in the intranuclear processes of parvovirus infection. In particular, a number of advanced techniques will be presented for the detection of infection-induced changes, such as DNA modification and damage, as well as protein-chromatin interactions.

Abstract
Like most DNA viruses, herpesviruses precisely deliver their genomes into the sophisticatedly organized nuclei of the infected host cells to initiate subsequent transcription and replication. However, it remains elusive how the viral genome specifically interacts with the host genome and hijacks host transcription machinery. Using pseudorabies virus (PRV) as model virus, we performed chromosome conformation capture assays to demonstrate a genome-wide specific trans-species chromatin interaction between the virus and host. Our data show that the PRV genome is delivered by the host DNA binding protein RUNX1 into the open chromatin and active transcription zone. This facilitates virus hijacking host RNAPII to efficiently transcribe viral genes, which is significantly inhibited by either a RUNX1 inhibitor or RNA interference. Together, these findings provide insights into the chromatin interaction between viral and host genomes and identify new areas of research to advance the understanding of herpesvirus genome transcription.

Abstract
Imaging across scales reveals disease mechanisms in organisms, tissues, and cells. Yet, particular infection phenotypes, such as virus-induced cell lysis, have remained difficult to study. Here, we developed imaging modalities and deep learning procedures to identify herpesvirus and adenovirus (AdV) infected cells without virus-specific stainings. Fluorescence microscopy of vital DNA-dyes and live-cell imaging revealed learnable virus-specific nuclear patterns transferable to related viruses of the same family. Deep learning predicted two major AdV infection outcomes, non-lytic (nonspreading) and lytic (spreading) infections, up to about 20 hr prior to cell lysis. Using these predictive algorithms, lytic and non-lytic nuclei had the same levels of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged virion proteins but lytic nuclei enriched the virion proteins faster, and collapsed more extensively upon laser-rupture than non-lytic nuclei, revealing impaired mechanical properties of lytic nuclei. Our algorithms may be used to infer infection phenotypes of emerging viruses, enhance single cell biology, and facilitate differential diagnosis of non-lytic and lytic infections. Artificial intelligence identifies HSV- and AdV-infected cells without specific probes. Imaging lytic-infected cells reveals nuclear envelope rupture and AdV dissemination. Live cell imaging and neural networks presciently pinpoint lytic-infected cells. Lytic-infected cell nuclei have mechanical properties distinct from non-lytic nuclei.

Abstract
The exploration into the strategies for the prevention and treatment of cancer is far from complete. Apart from humans, cancer has gained considerable importance in animals because of increased awareness towards animal health and welfare. Current cancer treatment regimens are less specific towards tumor cells and end up harming normal healthy cells. Thus, a highly specific therapeutic strategy with minimal side effects is the need of the hour. Oncolytic viral gene therapy is one such specific approach to target cancer cells without affecting the normal cells of the body. Canine parvovirus (CPV) is an oncolytic virus that specifically targets and kills cancer cells by causing DNA damage, caspase activation, and mitochondrial damage. Non-structural gene 1 (NS1) of CPV, involved in viral DNA replication is a key mediator of cytotoxicity of CPV and can selectively cause tumor cell lysis. In this review, we discuss the oncolytic properties of Canine Parvovirus (CPV or CPV2), the structure of the NS1 protein, the mechanism of oncolytic action as well as role in inducing an antitumor immune response in different tumor models.

Abstract
Though viruses have their own genomes, many depend on the nuclear environment of their hosts for replication and survival. A substantial body of work has therefore been devoted to understanding how viral and eukaryotic genomes interact. Recent advances in chromosome conformation capture technologies have provided unprecedented opportunities to visualize how mammalian genomes are organized and, by extension, how packaging of nuclear DNA impacts cellular processes. Recent studies have indicated that some viruses, upon entry into host cell nuclei, produce factors that alter host chromatin topology, and thus, impact the 3D organization of the host genome. Additionally, a variety of distinct viruses utilize host genome architectural factors to advance various aspects of their life cycles. Indeed, human gammaherpesviruses, known for establishing long-term reservoirs of latent infection in B lymphocytes, utilize 3D principles of genome folding to package their DNA and establish latency in host cells. This manipulation of host epigenetic machinery by latent viral genomes is etiologically linked to the onset of B cell oncogenesis. Small DNA viruses, by contrast, are tethered to distinct cellular sites that support virus expression and replication. Here, we briefly review the recent findings on how viruses and host genomes spatially communicate, and how this impacts virus-induced pathology.

Abstract
Specific chromatin immunoprecipitation of salt-fractionated infected cell extracts has demonstrated that the CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), a highly conserved, 11-zinc-finger DNA-binding protein with known roles in cellular and viral genome organization and gene expression, specifically binds the genome of Minute Virus of Mice (MVM). Mutations that diminish binding of CTCF to MVM affect processing of the P4-generated pre-mRNAs. These RNAs are spliced less efficiently to generate the R1 mRNA, and definition of the NS2-specific exon upstream of the small intron is reduced, leading to relatively less R2 and the generation of a novel exon-skipped product. These results suggest a model in which CTCF is required for proper engagement of the spliceosome at the MVM small intron and for the first steps of processing of the P4-generated pre-mRNA.

Abstract
The autonomous parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVM) localizes to cellular DNA damage sites to establish and sustain viral replication centers, which can be visualized by focal deposition of the essential MVM non-structural phosphoprotein NS1. How such foci are established remains unknown. Here, we show that NS1 localized to cellular sites of DNA damage independently of its ability to covalently bind the 5’ end of the viral genome, or its consensus DNA binding sequence. Many of these sites were identical to those occupied by virus during infection. However, localization of the MVM genome to DNA damage sites occurred only when wild-type NS1, but not its DNA-binding mutant was expressed. Additionally, wild-type NS1, but not its DNA binding mutant, could localize a heterologous DNA molecule containing the NS1 binding sequence to DNA damage sites. These findings suggest that NS1 may function as a bridging molecule, helping the MVM genome localize to cellular DNA damage sites to facilitate ongoing virus replication. Parvoviruses are among the simplest of viruses, depending almost exclusively on host cell factors to successfully replicate. We have previously shown that the parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVM) establishes replication centers at sites that are associated with cellular regions of DNA damage. These sites are primed to contain factors necessary to efficiently initiate vigorous virus lytic infection. The process by which viral proteins and viral DNA specifically localize to these sites has previously remained unknown. In this study we show that the essential viral protein NS1 possesses the intrinsic ability to localize to cellular sites of DNA damage. Additionally, wild-type NS1, but not its DNA binding mutant, could localize to sites of DNA damage both the MVM genome, or a heterologous DNA molecule engineered to contain NS1 binding sites. This work provides the first evidence that NS1 may function as a bridging molecule to localize the MVM genome to cellular sites of DNA damage to facilitate ongoing replication.

Abstract
The review addresses the question of how the structural and functional compartmentalization of the cell nucleus and the 3D organization of the cellular genome are modified during the infection of cells with various viruses. Particular attention is paid to the role of the introduced changes in the implementation of the viral strategy to evade the antiviral defense systems and provide conditions for viral replication. The discussion focuses on viruses replicating in the cell nucleus. Cytoplasmic viruses are mentioned in cases when a significant reorganization of the nuclear compartments or the 3D genome structure occurs during an infection with these viruses.

Abstract
DNA viruses can hijack and manipulate the host chromatin state to facilitate their infection. Multiple lines of evidences reveal that DNA virus infection results in the host chromatin relocation, yet there is little known about the effects of viral infection on the architecture of host chromatin. Here, a combination of epigenomic, transcriptomic and biochemical assays were conducted to investigate the temporal dynamics of chromatin accessibility in response to Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection. The high-quality ATAC-seq data indicated that progressive chromatin remodeling took place following BmNPV infection. Viral infection resulted in a more open chromatin architecture, along with the marginalization of host genome and nucleosome disassembly. Moreover, our results revealed that chromatin accessibility in uninfected cells was regulated by euchromatic modifications, whereas the viral-induced highly accessible chromatin regions were originally associated with facultative heterochromatic modification. Overall, our findings illustrate for the first time the organization and accessibility of host chromatin in BmNPV-infected cells, which lay the foundation for future studies on epigenomic regulation mediated by DNA viruses. As a well-studied arthropod-specific double-stranded DNA virus, Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a representative member of baculoviruses. BmNPV infection results in significant host chromatin marginalization, which has also been found in most DNA viruses. However, the effects of baculovirus infection on the organization and accessibility of host chromatin are poorly understood. Here, by using ATAC-seq, we show that DNA virus BmNPV infection gradually remodels the accessibility of host chromatin. ATAC-seq data reveal that the marginalized host chromatin is a more accessible architecture along with the depletion of multi-nucleosome depositions. Moreover, our findings suggest the increased accessibility regions are regulated by the facultative heterochromatic modification. Overall, we provide a novel understanding of molecular mechanisms by which baculovirus and DNA viruses alter the organization of host chromatin in epigenomic regulation.

Abstract
The folding mechanisms of the mammalian genome package our genetic material into the nucleus, and in doing so, dictate its appropriate replication and expression. Chromosome conformation capture technology has enabled the dissection of the folding principles of the cellular genome. This has led to a better understanding of the role played by architectural proteins in forming and dissolving 3D-chromatin-structure. These assays are based on the principle of crosslinking distant cellular sites that are proximal to each other in 3D space using formaldehyde followed by digestion of formed hybrid DNA junctions. Invading viruses, such as the lytic parvovirus Minute Virus of Mice (MVM), establish distinct replication centers within the nuclear environment at cellular sites that preferentially undergo DNA damage, but do not integrate into the cellular DNA. We have adapted chromosome conformation capture technology to study the trans-interaction between MVM and the cellular genome, which we have dubbed V3C, which can be extended to a whole-genome analysis we term V3C-seq. This protocol describes the procedure for performing, as well as analyzing V3C-seq assays, and can be adapted for mapping the cellular interaction sites of any non-integrating DNA virus.
