how can pH drop in endosomes trigger viral exit?

A

can open helical proteins in capsid proteins, or activate viral proteases that cleave viral capsid proteins

104
Q

what can helical/capsid proteins do?

A

they disrupt the amphipathic peptides in the membrane of acidified endosomes, allowing the capsid to escape the endosome

105

no; sometimes only the viral genome need to escape

106
Q

what are the 2 models for viral exit of the endosome?

A

carpet model and pore formation

107
Q

what is carpet model?

A

suggests that the viral proteins coats the endosome membrane, and somehow solubilizes it like a detergent.

108
Q

what is the pore formation model?

A

suggests that viral proteins directly embed into the membrane and generate a pore for viral escape

109
Q

what type of virus is picornavirus?

A

RNA+ virus

110
Q

explain how picornavirus RNA exits the endosome

A

pH changes allows:
- the uncoating of the capsid
- RNA release: VP4 is lost, this allows VP1 contact with the endosome membrane where it forms a pore

Q

in the influenza virus example, what class of fusion protein is found and how does it enter the host cell?

A

Class I fusion protein with alpha-helices where HA causes a conformational change that allows cleavage of a fragment of the protein, exposing the fusion peptide that embeds in the host endosomal membrane

124
Q

in the Dengue virus example, what class of fusion protein is found and how does it enter the host cell?

A

Class II fusion protein with beta sheets: glycoproteins rearrange upon low pH to release the fusion peptides that embed in the lumenal side of endosome membrane and triggers membrane fusion with the viral envelope

125
Q

what is special about SARS-COV2 entry pathways?

A

it can enter via 2 pathways: endosomal entry or cell surface entry

126
Q

what event is essential for viral fusion of SARS-COV2?

A
  • S1 cleavage of furin site during biogenesis in the Golgi of previously infected cell
  • S2 cleavage event (essential for both pathways)
127
Q

via what receptor does covid enter host cell?

A

ACE2

128
Q

what is TMPRSS2?

A

protease on cell surface that decide if coronavirus with fuse with the host cell membrane instead of endocytosed

129
Q

what are the steps of the endosomal entry of coronavirus

A
  1. virus binding
  2. internalization
  3. endosomal acidification
  4. cleavage of S2 by cathepsin L
  5. membrane fusion

  2. cleavage of S2 by TMPRSS2
  3. membrane fusion
  4. uncoating of viral RNA
131
Q

what do the covid vaccines target?

A

spike proteins

132
Q

why didn’t therapies against covid blocking acidification of endosomes work?

A

the virus can still infect via cell surface path

133
Q

where can viral genome replication occur?

A

cytosol or nucleus

134
Q

where do MOST RNA viruses replicate? what about DNA viruses?

A

RNA: cytosol
DNA: nucleus

135
Q

do viral capsids enter the nucleus?

A

some do for nuclear viral genome replication!
but capsids can also disassemble at the pore with only the genomes entering the nucleus, OR genome can be transported into the nucleus alone

136
Q

how does viral DNA enter the nucleus?

A

always through nuclear pores; sometimes still in capsid, sometimes alone

137
Q

what happens to the viral genome once it enters the nucleus?

A

it replicates! and then it must exit the nucleus

138
Q

how does papilloma virus lead to canceR?

A

viral genome integrate into the chromosomes

139
Q

how can the virus escape the nucleus?

A

many ways:
- trigger apoptosis of host cell
- exit via nuclear pore
- fuse with membrane and bud out

140
Q

where does the virus assemble after it replicated its genome?

A

simpler viruses can assemble in the nucleus, others transport the genome into the cytosol for assembly

141
Q

what does the papilloma (and other viruses) do after replication in the nucleus?

A

it integrates its viral genome in the chromosomes and leads to cancer

142
Q

what happens if the virus triggers apoptosis of host cell to exit the nucleus?

A

it can’t use the host cell as a “factory” anymore

143
Q

capsids/viral DNA always enter the nucleus via what?

A

nuclear pore

144
Q

how does the herpesvirus and bacculoviral escapes the nucleus?

A

herpesvirus vesicles enter the perinuclear space, fuse with outer nuclear envelope and release capsid in cytosol

145
Q

how does herpesvirus become enveloped again after exiting the nucleus?

A

capsid binds Golgi that is now expressing viral proteins in the membrane, and capsid is internalized or “wrapped”

146
Q

what happens to herpes virus once it is re-enveloped by the golgi?

A

it now an active virus and gets secreted by the cell

147
Q

how does the “naked” capsid that emerged from the nucleus know to go to the golgi for envelopment?

A

it binds viral encoded proteins that had been translated in the cytosol and imported into the ER

148
Q

what happens to the viral encoded proteins found in golgi membrane?

A
  • they recycle through TGN/PM
  • they are incorporated in the new capsid envelope
149
Q

what is a weird way how viruses can get re-enveloped after replication in the nucleus?

A

they can stay within the perinuclear space and enter the ER, from which they can egress in different ways

150
Q

why do viruses not fuse back with late endocytic compartments?

A

the pH is wrong! so viruses can only go in one direction

151
Q

explain apoptotic mimicry

A

virus acquires host cell markers (phosphatidylserine) that are interpreted as apoptotic fragments and bind directly to receptors on the new host cell

152
Q

what is the principle behind apoptotic mimicry?

A

apoptotic fragments need to be internalized to ensure cell death is immunologically silent

153
Q

what kind of viruses can do apoptotic mimicry?

A

enveloped and non-enveloped

154
Q

how does SV40 non-enveloped virus do apoptotic mimicry?

A

it has capsid proteins that mimic the GAS6 protein that binds phosphatidylserine receptors

155
Q

how can exosomes participate in apoptotic mimicry?

A

the release of exosomes carrying viral capsids can mimic an enveloped state enriched in PS

156
Q

Internalization of apoptotic fragments drives signaling of what?

A

anti-inflammatory signaling

157
Q

how do apoptotic fragments drive anti-inflammatory signaling?

A

activation of apoptotic receptors activate transcriptional responses that:
- inhibit host cell receptors that receive pro-inflammatory signals
- secrete anti-inflammatory factors for neighbouring cells

158
Q

why does apoptotic mimicry trigger anti-inflammatory signals?

A

helps the virus to propagate without alerting the immune system.

159
Q

what part of the immune system is mostly affected by apoptotic mimicry and anti-inflammatory signaling?

A

innate immune system

160
Q

how do viruses enter cells?

A

endocytosis

161
Q

ph transitions are critical for what?

A

to uncoat or disassemble viruses

162
Q

what is the goal of apoptotic mimicry?

A

allows efficient uptake and suppress inflammatory signaling pathways in the host

163
Q

what did the paper study?

A

how can bacteria escape the endosome? looked at sphingomyelin, a lipid enriched in the outer leaflet of the PM

164
Q

what did they do to lysenin?

A

engineered only its C-terminus domain that binds sphingomyelin

165
Q

how did they test lysenin specificity?

A
  • made PC, PC+SM, and SM liposomes. lysenin only binded in presence of SM
  • sphingomyelinase inhibits lysenin binding
166
Q

galectin 8 is a marker of what?

A

membrane rupture

167
Q

did sphingomyelinase affect galectin binding?

A

no

168
Q

what is K185A mutation?

A

lysenin loses the ability to bind
sphingomyelin and did not bind cell surface (confirms that lysenin probe binds SM)

169
Q

what happened to lysenin after salmonella infection?

A

binds 10-20% of SCV, peaks at 1-2 hours, lost by hour 6

170
Q

what does it mean that lysenin binds SCVs after salmonella infection?

A

SM is exposed in some SCVs

171
Q

why did they do osmotic shock, lysosome damaging drug (GPN), and listerolysin to endosomes?

A

to see if these other kind of endosome damage recruit lysenin like bacterial infection, and they do

172
Q

how did they conclude that galectin happens after SM exposure?

A

listerolysin O damaged to endosome recruits lysenin but no galectin

173
Q

what happened when they overexpressed Sphingomyelinase?

A

blocks lysenin recruitment, but does not block the nb of bacteria infecting the cell or the replication rate

174
Q

sphingomyelinase not blocking the infection shows what?

A

flipping is important but not necessary for infection; might just be a signal

175
Q

what did they find studying a strain without T3SS needle?

A

no lysenin of galectin-8 recruitment = T3SS is involved in damaging the SCV membrane

176
Q

Lysenin recruitment was slow and gradual, Gal8 is abrupt, consistent with ?

A

the membrane finally breaking and attracting galectin; lysenin is recruited before the membrane breaks?

177
Q

appearance of NDP52 suggests that ?

A

SCVs are targeted for autophagy

178
Q

The ultimate loss of homogeneity in the Lysenin ring coincided with recruitment of galectin-8, consistent with ?

A

a break in the SCV membrane resulting in glycan exposure
