ABSTRACT
Infection by RNA viruses causes extensive cellular reorganization, including hijacking of membranes to create membranous structures termed replication organelles, which support viral RNA synthesis and virion assembly. In this study, we show that infection with coxsackievirus B3 entails a profound impairment of the protein homeostasis at virus-utilized membranes, reflected by an accumulation of ubiquitinylated proteins, including K48-linked polyubiquitin conjugates, known to direct proteins to proteasomal degradation. The enrichment of membrane-bound ubiquitin conjugates is attributed to the presence of the non-structural viral proteins 2B and 3A, which are known to perturb membrane integrity and can cause an extensive rearrangement of cellular membranes. The locally increased abundance of ubiquitinylated proteins occurs without an increase of oxidatively damaged proteins. During the exponential phase of replication, the oxidative damage of membrane proteins is even diminished, an effect we attribute to the recruitment of glutathione, which is known to be required for the formation of infectious virus particles. Furthermore, we show that the proteasome contributes to the processing of viral precursor proteins. Taken together, we demonstrate how an infection with coxsackievirus B3 affects the cellular protein and redox homeostasis locally at the site of viral replication and virus assembly.
