Polyomaviruses (PyVs) cause diverse diseases in a variety of mammalian hosts. During the life cycle, PyVs recruit nuclear host factors to viral genomes to facilitate replication and transcription. While host factors involved in DNA replication, DNA damage sensing and repair, and cell cycle regulation have been observed to bind PyV DNA, the complete set of viral and host proteins comprising the PyV replisome remains incompletely characterized. Here, the iPOND-MS technique (Isolation of Proteins on Nascent DNA coupled with Mass Spectrometry) was used to identify the proteome bound to murine PyV (MuPyV) DNA immediately following synthesis and 2 hours post-synthesis. Several novel MuPyV DNA interactors were identified on newly synthesized viral DNA (vDNA), including MCM complex members, DNA primase, DNA polymerase alpha, DNA ligase, and replication factor C. Though displaying partial overlap, the host and viral proteins bound to MuPyV DNA 2 hours post-synthesis lacked many of the replication proteins found on newly synthesized vDNA. These data help distinguish between the host factors critical for MuPyV DNA replication and those involved in downstream processing.IMPORTANCEPolyomaviruses are the causative agents of serious diseases in humans, including progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), BK virus nephropathy, and Merkel cell carcinoma. The exact mechanisms by which the virus replicates, and which host cell proteins are required, are incompletely characterized. Identifying the host proteins necessary for efficient viral replication in the cell may reveal targets for downstream targets that may suppress viral replication .
多瘤病毒(PyVs)在各种哺乳动物宿主中引起多种疾病。在生命周期中,PyVs 招募核宿主因子到病毒基因组中,以促进复制和转录。虽然已经观察到参与 DNA 复制、DNA 损伤感应和修复以及细胞周期调节的宿主因子与 PyV DNA 结合,但完整的 PyV 病毒和宿主蛋白组成的 PyV 复制体仍然不完全特征化。在这里,iPOND-MS 技术(与质谱法相结合的新生 DNA 上的蛋白质分离)用于鉴定在合成后立即和合成后 2 小时新合成的小鼠多瘤病毒(MuPyV)DNA 结合的蛋白质组。在新合成的病毒 DNA(vDNA)上鉴定出几种新的 MuPyV DNA 相互作用蛋白,包括 MCM 复合物成员、DNA 引发酶、DNA 聚合酶α、DNA 连接酶和复制因子 C。尽管存在部分重叠,但在合成后 2 小时与 MuPyV DNA 结合的宿主和病毒蛋白缺乏在新合成的 vDNA 上发现的许多复制蛋白。这些数据有助于区分对 MuPyV DNA 复制至关重要的宿主因子和参与下游处理的因子。
重要性:多瘤病毒是导致人类严重疾病的病原体,包括进行性多灶性白质脑病(PML)、BK 病毒肾病和 Merkel 细胞癌。病毒复制的确切机制以及需要哪些宿主细胞蛋白尚不完全清楚。鉴定出宿主蛋白在细胞中对病毒复制有效的必要性,可能会揭示可能抑制病毒复制的下游靶标的目标。
