Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase Ⅲ(PI4KB), which is required by enteroviruses for RO formation, yields phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate(PI4P) on ROs. PI4P then binds and induces conformational changes in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(Rd Rp) to modulate Rd Rp activity. Here, we targeted 3D polymerase, the core enzyme of EV71 ROs, and found that the host factor Annexin A2(ANXA2) can interact with 3 D polymerase and promote the replication of EV71. Then, an experiment showed that the annexin domain of ANXA2, which possesses membranebinding capacity, mediates the interaction of ANXA2 with EV71 3 D polymerase. Further research showed that ANXA2 is localized on ROs and interacts with PI4KB. Overexpression of ANXA2 stimulated the formation of PI4P, and the level of PI4P was decreased in ANXA2-knockout cells. Furthermore, ANXA2, PI4KB, and 3D were shown to be localized to the viral RNA replication site, where they form a higher-order protein complex, and the presence of ANXA2 promoted the PI4 KB-3D interaction. Altogether, our data provide new insight into the role of ANXA2 in facilitating formation of the EV71 RNA replication complex.展开更多

Here, we demonstrate that the expression and activity of grass carp PI4KB (gcPI4KB) are vital for GCRV-I and GCRV-II replication. Given the obvious cytopathic effect (CPE) in the present available cell lines is only caused by GCRV-I, but GCRV-II is the current popular and fatal strain in grass carp, GCRV-I and GCRV-II are used in cell lines and in grass carp, respectively. In vitro studies in CIK cells revealed that gcPI4KB interacted with NS80 and VP3 of GCRV-I, and that gcPI4KB was recruited by NS80 for promoting the generation of GCRV viral inclusion bodies (VIBs). Since the negative regulatory role of gcPI4KB in GCRV infection was confirmed by in vitro data, we performed gene editing of gcPI4KB in grass carp. We found that PI4KB F0 juvenile grass carp crispants have obvious advantages in promoting growth and in resisting GCRV-II infection. Compared with uninfected WT grass carp, the uninfected PI4KB F0 juvenile grass carp crispants exhibit a higher expression level of many genes involved in growth- and development-related metabolic pathways such as the FoxO signaling pathway and insulin signaling pathway. Compared with WT grass carp without infection, PI4KB F0 juvenile grass carp crispants without infection or WT grass carp infected with GCRV-II, higher expression levels for many genes involved in metabolic diseases and viral infections were observed in the liver from PI4KB F0 juvenile grass carp crispants infected with GCRV-II. Altogether, the present study suggests the mechanism of gcPI4KB in facilitating GCRV replication, the signaling pathways regulated by gcPI4KB, and the possibility to obtain grass carp resistant to hemorrhagic disease via gene editing of PI4KB.展开更多
