- W2801115452 abstract "Polyprotein processing has an important regulatory role in the life cycle of positive-strand RNA viruses. In the case of alphaviruses, sequential cleavage of the nonstructural polyprotein (ns-polyprotein) at three sites eventually yields four mature nonstructural proteins (nsPs) that continue working in complex to replicate viral genomic RNA and transcribe subgenomic RNA. Recognition of cleavage sites by viral nsP2 protease is guided by short sequences upstream of the scissile bond and, more importantly, by the spatial organization of the replication complex. In this study, we analyzed the consequences of the artificially accelerated processing of the Semliki Forest virus ns-polyprotein. It was found that in mammalian cells, not only the order but also the correct timing of the cleavage events is essential for the success of viral replication. Analysis of the effects of compensatory mutations in rescued viruses as well as in vitro translation and trans-replicase assays corroborated our findings and revealed the importance of the V515 residue in nsP2 for recognizing the P4 position in the nsP1/nsP2 cleavage site. We also extended our conclusions to Sindbis virus by analyzing the properties of the hyperprocessive variant carrying the N614D mutation in nsP2. We conclude that the sequence of the nsP1/nsP2 site in alphaviruses is under selective pressure to avoid the presence of sequences that are recognized too efficiently and would otherwise lead to premature cleavage at this site before completion of essential tasks of RNA synthesis or virus-induced replication complex formation. Even subtle changes in the ns-polyprotein processing pattern appear to lead to virus attenuation.IMPORTANCE The polyprotein expression strategy is a cornerstone of alphavirus replication. Three sites within the ns-polyprotein are recognized by the viral nsP2 protease and cleaved in a defined order. Specific substrate targeting is achieved by the recognition of the short sequence upstream of the scissile bond and a correct macromolecular assembly of ns-polyprotein. Here, we highlighted the importance of the timeliness of proteolytic events, as an additional layer of regulation of efficient virus replication. We conclude that, somewhat counterintuitively, the cleavage site sequences at the nsP1/nsP2 and nsP2/nsP3 junctions are evolutionarily selected to be recognized by protease inefficiently, to avoid premature cleavages that would be detrimental for the assembly and functionality of the replication complex. Understanding the causes and consequences of viral polyprotein processing events is important for predicting the properties of mutant viruses and should be helpful for the development of better vaccine candidates and understanding potential mechanisms of resistance to protease inhibitors." @default.
