Coronavirus nonstructural protein 2 (Nsp2) is regarded as a virulence determinant and plays a critical role in virus replication, and innate immunity. Screening and identifying host cell proteins that interact with viral proteins is an effective way to reveal the functions of viral proteins. In this study, the host proteins that interacted with transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) Nsp2 were identified using immunoprecipitation combined with LC-MS/MS. 77 host cell proteins were identified as putative Nsp2 interaction host cell proteins and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) was constructed. The identified proteins were found to be associated with various subcellular locations and functional categories through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. It is hypothesized that the host cell proteins interacting with TGEV Nsp2 are mainly involved in the formation of the cytoplasmic translation initiation complex, mRNA binding, ribosomes, and proteasomes. Among these, the ATP5B, a core subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase was further studied. The Coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) results confirmed that TGEV Nsp2 interacted with ATP5B. Furthermore, the downregulation of ATP5B expression was found to promote TGEV replication, suggesting that ATP5B might function as a negative regulator of TGEV replication. Collectively, our results offer additional insights into the functions of Nsp2 and provide a novel antiviral target against TGEV.

Article Synopsis
  • Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) leads to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), significantly affecting the pig industry economically on a global scale.
  • A new strain, 2020-Acheng-1, isolated from deceased piglets in northeastern China, shows high morbidity and mortality rates and shares a high nucleotide similarity with the NADC34 strain but has unique genetic deletions in its genome.
  • Analysis indicates that 2020-Acheng-1 has distinct changes in protein structures compared to other strains, and it appears to have no genetic recombination with typical PRRSV-2 strains in China, offering insights into its pathogenicity.

Porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus nonstructural protein 2 contributes to inflammation via NF-κB activation.

Virulence

Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) infection causes acute enteritis in swine of all ages, and especially in suckling piglets. Small intestinal inflammation is considered a central event in the pathogenesis of TGEV infections, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is a key transcription factor in the inflammatory response. However, it is unclear whether NF-κB is crucial for inducing inflammation during a TGEV infection.

Coronaviruses encode two classes of cysteine proteases, which have narrow substrate specificities and either a chymotrypsin- or papain-like fold. These enzymes mediate the processing of the two precursor polyproteins of the viral replicase and are also thought to modulate host cell functions to facilitate infection. The papain-like protease 1 (PL1(pro)) domain is present in nonstructural protein 3 (nsp3) of alphacoronaviruses and subgroup 2a betacoronaviruses.

The replicase polyproteins, pp1a and pp1ab, of porcine Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) have been predicted to be cleaved by viral proteases into 16 non-structural proteins (nsp). Here, enzymic activities residing in the amino-proximal region of nsp3, the largest TGEV replicase processing product, were characterized. It was shown, by in vitro translation experiments and protein sequencing, that the papain-like protease 1, PL1(pro), but not a mutant derivative containing a substitution of the presumed active-site nucleophile, Cys(1093), cleaves the nsp2|nsp3 site at (879)Gly|Gly(880).
