- W3195655429 abstract "The human norovirus (HuNV)-encoded nucleoside-triphosphatase (NTPase) is a multifunctional protein critically involved in viral replication and pathogenesis. Previously, we have shown that the viral NTPase is capable of forming vesicle clusters in cells, interacting with other viral proteins such as P22, and promoting cellular apoptosis. Herein, we demonstrate that NTPase-associated vesicle clusters correspond to lipid droplets (LDs) wrapped by the viral protein and show that NTPase-induced apoptosis is mediated through both caspase-8- and caspase-9-dependent pathways. Deletion analysis revealed that the N-terminal 179-amino-acid (aa) region of NTPase encompasses two LD-targeting motifs (designated LTM-1 and LTM-2), two apoptosis-inducing motifs, and multiple regulatory regions. Interestingly, the identified LTM-1 and LTM-2, which are located from aa 1 to 50 and from aa 51 to 90, respectively, overlap with the two apoptosis-inducing motifs. Although there was no positive correlation between the extent of LD localization and the degree of cellular apoptosis for NTPase mutants, we noticed that mutant proteins defective in LD-targeting ability could not induce cellular apoptosis. In addition to LD targeting, the amphipathic LTM-1 and LTM-2 motifs could have the potential to direct fusion proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Furthermore, we found that the LTM-1 motif is a P22-interacting motif. However, P22 functionally augmented the proapoptotic activity of the LTM-2 fusion protein but not the LTM-1 fusion protein. Overall, our findings propose that NTPase may participate in multiple cellular processes through binding to LDs or to the ER via its N-terminal amphipathic helix motifs. IMPORTANCE Human noroviruses (HuNVs) are the major agent of global gastroenteritis outbreaks. However, due to the lack of an efficient cell culture system for HuNV propagation, functions of the viral-encoded proteins in host cells are still poorly understood. In the current study, we present that the viral NTPase is a lipid droplet (LD)-associated protein, and we identify two LD-targeting motifs, LTM-1 and LTM-2, in its N-terminal domain. In particular, the identified LTM-1 and LTM-2 motifs, which contain a hydrophobic region and an amphipathic helix, are also capable of delivering the fusion protein to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), promoting cellular apoptosis, and physically or functionally associating with another viral protein P22. Since LDs and the ER have been linked to several biological functions in cells, our study therefore proposes that the norovirus NTPase may utilize LDs or the ER as replication platforms to benefit viral replication and pathogenesis." @default.
