abstract = {Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) provides a sensitive, powerful, and accurate tool to suitably analyze the thermodynamic of RNA binding events. This approach does not require any modification or labeling of the system under analysis and is performed in solution. ITC is a very convenient technique that provides an accurate determination of binding parameters, as well as a complete thermodynamic profile of the molecular interactions. Here we show how this approach can be used to characterize the interactions between the dimerization initiation site (DIS) RNA localized within the HIV-1 viral genome and aminoglycoside antibiotics. Our ITC study showed that the 4,5-disubstituted 2-desoxystreptamine (2-DOS) aminoglycosides can bind the DIS with a nanomolar affinity and a high specificity.},

abstract = {Sandflies are well known vectors for Leishmania but also transmit a number of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Few studies have addressed the interaction between sandflies and arboviruses. RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms utilize small non-coding RNAs to regulate different aspects of host-pathogen interactions. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway is a broad antiviral mechanism in insects. In addition, at least in mosquitoes, another RNAi mechanism mediated by PIWI interacting RNAs (piRNAs) is activated by viral infection. Finally, endogenous microRNAs (miRNA) may also regulate host immune responses. Here, we analyzed the small non-coding RNA response to Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection in the sandfly Lutzoymia longipalpis. We detected abundant production of virus-derived siRNAs after VSV infection in adult sandflies. However, there was no production of virus-derived piRNAs and only mild changes in the expression of vector miRNAs in response to infection. We also observed abundant production of virus-derived siRNAs against two other viruses in Lutzomyia Lulo cells. Together, our results suggest that the siRNA but not the piRNA pathway mediates an antiviral response in sandflies. In agreement with this hypothesis, pre-treatment of cells with dsRNA against VSV was able to inhibit viral replication while knock-down of the central siRNA component, Argonaute-2, led to increased virus levels. Our work begins to elucidate the role of RNAi mechanisms in the interaction between L. longipalpis and viruses and should also open the way for studies with other sandfly-borne pathogens.},

abstract = {Virus surveillance in vector insects is potentially of great benefit to public health. Large-scale sequencing of small and long RNAs has previously been used to detect viruses, but without any formal comparison of different strategies. Furthermore, the identification of viral sequences largely depends on similarity searches against reference databases. Here, we developed a sequence-independent strategy based on virus-derived small RNAs produced by the host response, such as the RNA interference pathway. In insects, we compared sequences of small and long RNAs, demonstrating that viral sequences are enriched in the small RNA fraction. We also noted that the small RNA size profile is a unique signature for each virus and can be used to identify novel viral sequences without known relatives in reference databases. Using this strategy, we characterized six novel viruses in the viromes of laboratory fruit flies and wild populations of two insect vectors: mosquitoes and sandflies. We also show that the small RNA profile could be used to infer viral tropism for ovaries among other aspects of virus biology. Additionally, our results suggest that virus detection utilizing small RNAs can also be applied to vertebrates, although not as efficiently as to plants and insects.},

We show that both CD1c(+) and CD14(+) dDC subsets were infected, but viral load greatly increased in CD14(+) dDCs upon IL-4 stimulation, which correlated with upregulation of virus-binding lectins Dendritic Cell-Specific Intercellular adhesion molecule-3-Grabbing Nonintegrin (DC-SIGN/CD209) and mannose receptor (CD206). IL-4 also enhanced T-cell activation by dDCs, which was further increased upon dengue infection. dMs purified from digested dermis were initially poorly infected but actively replicated the virus and produced TNF-α upon lectin upregulation in response to IL-4. DC-SIGN(+) cells are abundant in inflammatory skin with scabies infection or Th2-type dermatitis, suggesting that skin reactions to mosquito bites heighten the risk of infection and subsequent immunopathology.

abstract = {Induction of antiviral immunity in vertebrates and invertebrates relies on members of the RIG-I-like receptor and Dicer families, respectively. Although these proteins have different size and domain composition, members of both families share a conserved DECH-box helicase domain. This helicase, also known as a duplex RNA activated ATPase, or DRA domain, plays an important role in viral RNA sensing. Crystallographic and electron microscopy studies of the RIG-I and Dicer DRA domains indicate a common structure and that similar conformational changes are induced by dsRNA binding. Genetic and biochemical studies on the function and regulation of DRAs reveal similarities, but also some differences, between viral RNA sensing mechanisms in nematodes, flies and mammals.},

abstract = {Flock House virus (FHV) is a positive-sense RNA insect virus with a bipartite genome. RNA1 encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and RNA2 encodes the capsid protein. A third protein, B2, is translated from a subgenomic RNA3 derived from the 3' end of RNA1. B2 is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding protein that inhibits RNA silencing, a major antiviral defense pathway in insects. FHV is conveniently propagated in Drosophila melanogaster cells but can also be grown in mammalian cells. It was previously reported that B2 is dispensable for FHV RNA replication in BHK21 cells; therefore, we chose this cell line to generate a viral mutant that lacked the ability to produce B2. Consistent with published results, we found that RNA replication was indeed vigorous but the yield of progeny virus was negligible. Closer inspection revealed that infected cells contained very small amounts of coat protein despite an abundance of RNA2. B2 mutants that had reduced affinity for dsRNA produced analogous results, suggesting that the dsRNA binding capacity of B2 somehow played a role in coat protein synthesis. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization of FHV RNAs, we discovered that RNA2 is recruited into large cytoplasmic granules in the absence of B2, whereas the distribution of RNA1 remains largely unaffected. We conclude that B2, by binding to double-stranded regions in progeny RNA2, prevents recruitment of RNA2 into cellular structures, where it is translationally silenced. This represents a novel function of B2 that further contributes to successful completion of the nodaviral life cycle.},

abstract = {Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is a multipartite RNA virus. BNYVV RNA3 does not accumulate in non-host transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants when expressed using a 35S promoter. However, a 3'-derivative species has been detected in transgenic plants and in transient expression assays conducted in Nicotiana benthamiana and Beta macrocarpa. The 3'-derivative species is similar to the previously reported subgenomic RNA3 produced during virus infection. 5' RACE revealed that the truncated forms had identical 5' ends. The 5' termini carried the coremin motif also present on BNYVV RNA5, beet soil-borne mosaic virus RNA3 and 4, and cucumber mosaic virus group 2 RNAs. This RNA3 species lacks a m(7)Gppp at the 5' end of the cleavage products, whether expressed transiently or virally. Mutagenesis revealed the importance of the coremin sequence for both long-distance movement and stabilization of the cleavage product in vivo and in vitro. The isolation of various RNA3 5'-end products suggests the existence of a cleavage between nt 212 and 1234 and subsequent exonucleolytic degradation, leading to the accumulation of a non-coding RNA. When RNA3 was incubated in wheatgerm extracts, truncated forms appeared rapidly and their appearance was protein- and divalent ion-dependent.},

abstract = {An in-depth mechanistic understanding of microbial infection necessitates a molecular dissection of host-pathogen relationships. Both Drosophila melanogaster and Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been intensively studied. Here, we analyze the infection of D. melanogaster by P. aeruginosa by using mutants in both host and pathogen. We show that orally ingested P. aeruginosa crosses the intestinal barrier and then proliferates in the hemolymph, thereby causing the infected flies to die of bacteremia. Host defenses against ingested P. aeruginosa included an immune deficiency (IMD) response in the intestinal epithelium, systemic Toll and IMD pathway responses, and a cellular immune response controlling bacteria in the hemocoel. Although the observed cellular and intestinal immune responses appeared to act throughout the course of the infection, there was a late onset of the systemic IMD and Toll responses. In this oral infection model, P. aeruginosa PA14 did not require its type III secretion system or other well-studied virulence factors such as the two-component response regulator GacA or the protease AprA for virulence. In contrast, the quorum-sensing transcription factor RhlR, but surprisingly not LasR, played a key role in counteracting the cellular immune response against PA14, possibly at an early stage when only a few bacteria are present in the hemocoel. These results illustrate the power of studying infection from the dual perspective of host and pathogen by revealing that RhlR plays a more complex role during pathogenesis than previously appreciated.},

abstract = {As machines that reprogramme eukaryotic cells to suit their own purposes, viruses present a difficult problem for multicellular hosts, and indeed, have become one of the central pre-occupations of the immune system. Unable to permanently outpace individual viruses in an evolutionary footrace, higher eukaryotes have evolved broadly active mechanisms with which to sense viruses and suppress their proliferation. These mechanisms have recently been elucidated by a combination of forward and reverse genetic methods. Some of these mechanisms are clearly ancient, whereas others are relatively new. All are remarkably adept at discriminating self from non-self, and allow the host to cope with what might seem an impossible predicament.},

abstract = {The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a model system for studying innate immunity, including antiviral host defense. Infection with drosophila C virus triggers a transcriptional response that is dependent in part on the Jak kinase Hopscotch. Here we show that successful infection and killing of drosophila with the insect nodavirus flock house virus was strictly dependent on expression of the viral protein B2, a potent inhibitor of processing of double-stranded RNA mediated by the essential RNA interference factor Dicer. Conversely, flies with a loss-of-function mutation in the gene encoding Dicer-2 (Dcr-2) showed enhanced susceptibility to infection by flock house virus, drosophila C virus and Sindbis virus, members of three different families of RNA viruses. These data demonstrate the importance of RNA interference for controlling virus replication in vivo and establish Dcr-2 as a host susceptibility locus for virus infections.},

abstract = {The fate of naive CD8(+) T cells is determined by the environment in which they encounter MHC class I presented peptide Ags. The manner in which tumor Ags are presented is a longstanding matter of debate. Ag presentation might be mediated by tumor cells in tumor draining lymph nodes or via cross-presentation by professional APC. Either pathway is insufficient to elicit protective antitumor immunity. We now demonstrate using a syngeneic mouse tumor model, expressing an Ag derived from the early region 1A of human adenovirus type 5, that the inadequate nature of the antitumor CTL response is not due to direct Ag presentation by the tumor cells, but results from presentation of tumor-derived Ag by nonactivated CD11c(+) APC. Although this event results in division of naive CTL in tumor draining lymph nodes, it does not establish a productive immune response. Treatment of tumor-bearing mice with dendritic cell-stimulating agonistic anti-CD40 mAb resulted in systemic efflux of CTL with robust effector function capable to eradicate established tumors. For efficacy of anti-CD40 treatment, CD40 ligation of host APC is required because adoptive transfer of CD40-proficient tumor-specific TCR transgenic CTL into CD40-deficient tumor-bearing mice did not lead to productive antitumor immunity after CD40 triggering in vivo. CpG and detoxified LPS (MPL) acted similarly as agonistic anti-CD40 mAb with respect to CD8(+) CTL efflux and tumor eradication. Together these results indicate that dendritic cells, depending on their activation state, orchestrate the outcome of CTL-mediated immunity against tumors, leading either to an ineffective immune response or potent antitumor immunity.},

abstract = {Using hybrid RNA/DNA substrates containing the polypurine tract (PPT) plus-strand primer, we have examined the interaction between the Ty1 reverse transcriptase (RT) and the plus-strand initiation complex. We show here that, although the PPT sequence is relatively resistant to RNase H cleavage, it can be cleaved internally by the polymerase-independent RNase H activity of Ty1 RT. Alternatively, this PPT can be used to initiate plus-strand DNA synthesis. We demonstrate that cleavage at the PPT/DNA junction occurs only after at least 9 nucleotides are extended. Cleavage leaves a nick between the RNA primer and the nascent plus-strand DNA. We show that Ty1 RT has a strand displacement activity beyond a gap but that the PPT is not efficiently re-utilized in vitro for another round of DNA synthesis after a first plus-strand DNA has been synthesized and cleaved at the PPT/U3 junction.},

abstract = {Peptide analogues containing reversed peptide bonds between each residue along the peptide sequence (retro-inverso modification) have been analyzed for their antigenic and in vivo immunogenic properties in the MHC II and Th cell response context. Two antigenic peptides were selected for this study, namely peptide 103-115 of poliovirus VP1, which is involved in the production of Abs that neutralize the infectivity of the virus, and peptide 435-446 from the third constant region of mouse heavy chain IgG2a allopeptide gamma 2ab, which mimics a corneal Ag implicated in autoimmune keratitis. In a competition assay performed in vitro using reference hybridomas of known MHC class II restriction, both retro-inverso analogues bound (although more weakly in our test) to I-Ad and/or I-Ed class II molecules. However, in both cases, this lower affinity was apparently largely compensated in vivo, as a T cell response (with IL-2 secretion), equivalent to that obtained with the wild-type peptides, was observed following immunization of BALB/c mice with the retro-inverso analogues. Moreover, these T cells proliferated and produced IL-2 in response to the cognate peptides. It is concluded that the T cell receptors of T cells primed in vivo with the retro-inverso analogues readily cross-react with parent and retro-inverso analogue-MHC complexes. The approach of using pseudopeptides containing changes involving the backbone, and not the orientation of side chains, may thus be promising to design potent immunogens for class II-restricted T cells.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Oligomerization is often necessary for protein activity or regulation and its efficiency is fundamental for the cell. The quaternary structure of a large number of oligomers consists of protomers tightly anchored to each other by exchanged arms or swapped domains. However, nothing is known about how the arms can be kept in a favourable conformation before such an oligomerization. RESULTS: Upon examination of such quaternary structures, we observe an extremely frequent occurrence of proline residues at the point where the arm leaves the protomer. Sequence alignment and site-directed mutagenesis confirm the importance of these prolines. The conservation of these residues at the hinge regions can be explained by the constraints that they impose on polypeptide conformation and dynamics: by rigidifying the mainchain, prolines favour extended conformations of arms thus favouring oligomerization, and may prevent interaction of the arms with the core of the protomer. CONCLUSIONS: Hinge prolines can be considered as 'quaternary structure helpers'. The presence of a proline should be considered when searching for a determinant of oligomerization with arm exchange and could be used to engineer synthetic oligomers or to displace a monomers to oligomers equilibrium by mutation of this proline residue.},

In the present work, homogeneous preparations of IgG Abs from the blood of the healthy donors as well as patients with A, B, C, and delta types of viral hepatitis, influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, tonsillitis, duodenal ulcer, and some types of cancer were purified. For the first time, the fraction of IgG and its Fab fragments of patients with viral hepatitis were shown to have high DNA- and RNA-hydrolyzing activity. In case of Abs from the healthy donors and patients with other diseases, high activity of Abs was not detected. The data obtained by various methods indicate that the activity of hepatitis Abs is an intrinsic property of the immunoglobulins. The relative rates of hydrolysis of cCMP, poly(U), poly(A), poly(C), and tRNA(Phe) by hepatitis Abs were compared with those of RNase A and other RNases from human blood. Significant differences in activities of Abs and nucleases in hydrolysis of model substrates were demonstrated. Thus, catalytically active Abs can appear in the blood of patients not only with autoimmune disorders, but with viral diseases as well.},

abstract = {Long terminal repeat elements and retroviruses require primers for initiation of minus and plus-strand DNA synthesis by reverse transcriptase. Here we demonstrate genetically that plus-strand DNA synthesis of the yeast Ty1 element is initiated at two sites located at the 5' boundary of the 3' long terminal repeat (PPT1) and near the middle of the pol gene in the integrase coding sequence (PPT2). A consequence of the presence of two PPTs is that Ty1 plus-strand DNA exists as segments at some time during replication. Three fragments have been identified: the plus-strand strong-stop DNA initiated at PPT1, a downstream fragment initiated at PPT2 and an upstream fragment spanning the 5'-terminal part of Ty1 and a portion of the TyB gene. Characterization of the 3' ends of the plus-strand DNA fragments reveals (1) that the upstream fragment is elongated beyond PPT2 creating a plus-strand overlap and (2) that the majority of plus-strand strong-stop DNA fragments bear a copy of the minus-strand primer binding site in agreement with the accepted model of retroviral genomic RNA reverse transcription. The two polypurine tracts, PPT1 and PPT2, have an identical sequence GGGTGGTA. Mutations replacing purines by pyrimidines in this sequence significantly diminish or abolish initiation of plus-strand synthesis. Ty1 elements bearing a mutated PPT2 sequence are not defective for transposition whereas mutations in PPT1 abolish transposition.},

Analysis of the reaction products under denaturing conditions revealed in both cases extensive labelling of a 4.5 kb ssRNA, already detected in previous experiments in which the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase associated with the dsRNA was allowed to pursue RNA synthesis on preinitiated complexes. Mobility shift analysis of total pCp-labelled dsRNA revealed not two but three different 3' termini. The most prominent sequencing pattern corresponded to the 4.5 kb ssRNA, indicating that this RNA species has a preferentially accessible, free 3' OH extremity. Northern blot analysis of the denatured dsRNA confirmed that the 4.5 kb ssRNA is a subgenomic mRNA and detected its counterpart of about 12 kb. Nearly all 16.7 kbp dsRNA molecules featured an interrupted positive-sense strand, indicating a marked prevalence of transcription over replication complexes. This unusual strategy of transcription by a strand displacement mechanism, following initiation at an internal discontinuity, is compared with that of other dsRNA viruses or defective viruses, and is discussed in relation to the expression of the CMS trait.},
