概括

寨卡病毒 (ZIKV) 反对宿主干扰素信号传递. 酶介导的STAT1由ZIKV的分裂不会抑制抗病毒活性,这表明STAT2对抗性对ZIKV感染更为关键.

科学领域:

病毒学病毒学
免疫学免疫学免疫学
分子生物学分子生物学

背景情况:

寨卡病毒 (ZIKV) 是一种重新出现的黄病毒,具有对抗宿主干扰素 (IFN) 信号通路的能力,对抗病毒防御至关重要.
了解ZIKV的IFN对抗机制是开发新型抗病毒策略的关键.
信号转换器和转录1激活器 (STAT1) 在弗拉维病毒IFN对抗性中的作用是有争议的,与STAT2.2的既定向不同.

研究的目的:

研究ZIKV感染期间STAT1裂变的机制及其对IFN信号传递的影响.
确定STAT1的酶介导裂变是否有助于ZIKV对IFN通路的对抗作用.
阐明STAT1与STAT2对抗性在ZIKV病变发生过程中的相对重要性.

主要方法:

在ZIKV感染的人类细胞中分析STAT1裂变,使用西部涂抹和局部定向突变发生.
比较野生类型和抗分裂STAT1突变体的抗病毒活性.
评估与已修改的切割部位补充的小鼠STAT1 (mSTAT1) 的抗ZIKV活性.

主要成果:

在晚期感染阶段,ZIKV感染诱导了人体STAT1在酸694的酶依赖裂变.
鼠类STAT1 (mSTAT1) 对ZIKV诱导的裂变具有抗性.
抗裂变的STAT1或补充的mSTAT1的表达显示出类似的抗ZIKV活性,表明STAT1裂变对于ZIKV的IFN对抗性并不重要.
这些发现挑战了STAT1裂变在ZIKV免疫逃避策略中的重要性.

结论:

通过酶介导的STAT1分裂不是ZIKV对IFN诱导的抗病毒信号的对抗的主要机制.
结果表明,与STAT1对抗相比,ZIKV对STAT2的对抗在感染的确立中起着更为主导的作用.
对STAT2对抗性的进一步研究可能会揭示针对ZIKV的新治疗点.

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as SH2...

Caspases

Caspases

Caspase, a family of cysteine proteases, serve as effectors in apoptosis. The ced3 gene in C.elegans was first identified to be involved in apoptosis. This gene encodes the ced-3 caspase that is similar to the interleukin-1-beta converting enzyme or ICE in mammals. In addition to apoptosis, caspases also function in the inflammatory response. Inflammatory caspases are essential in activating pro-inflammatory cytokines that recruit immune cells and block the replication of pathogens inside...

CRISPR and crRNAs

CRISPR and crRNAs

Bacteria and archaea are susceptible to viral infections just like eukaryotes; therefore, they have developed a unique adaptive immune system to protect themselves. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) are present in more than 45% of known bacteria and 90% of known archaea.
The CRISPR-Cas system stores a copy of foreign DNA in the host genome and uses it to identify the foreign DNA upon reinfection. CRISPR-Cas has three different...
