RESUMO

The influenza virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) is a nonstructural protein that plays a major role in antagonizing host interferon responses during infection. However, a clear role for the NS1 protein in epigenetic modification has not been established. In this study, NS1 was found to regulate the expression of some key regulators of JAK-STAT signaling by inhibiting the DNA methylation of their promoters. Furthermore, DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B) is responsible for this process. Upon investigating the mechanisms underlying this event, NS1 was found to interact with DNMT3B but not DNMT3A, leading to the dissociation of DNMT3B from the promoters of the corresponding genes. In addition, the interaction between NS1 and DNMT3B changed the localization of DNMT3B from the nucleus to the cytosol, resulting in K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation of DNMT3B in the cytosol. We conclude that NS1 interacts with DNMT3B and changes its localization to mediate K48-linked polyubiquitination, subsequently contributing to the modulation of the expression of JAK-STAT signaling suppressors.IMPORTANCE The nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of the influenza A virus (IAV) is a multifunctional protein that counters cellular antiviral activities and is a virulence factor. However, the involvement of NS1 in DNA methylation during IAV infection has not been established. Here, we reveal that the NS1 protein binds the cellular DNMT3B DNA methyltransferase, thereby inhibiting the methylation of the promoters of genes encoding suppressors of JAK-STAT signaling. As a result, these suppressor genes are induced, and JAK-STAT signaling is inhibited. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the NS1 protein transports DNMT3B to the cytoplasm for ubiquitination and degradation. Thus, we identify the NS1 protein as a potential trigger of the epigenetic deregulation of JAK-STAT signaling suppressors and illustrate a novel mechanism underlying the regulation of host immunity during IAV infection.

RESUMO

Since the first human case of H5N1 avian influenza virus infection was reported in 1997, this highly pathogenic virus has infected hundreds of people around the world and resulted in many deaths. The ability of H5N1 to cross species boundaries, and the presence of polymorphisms that enhance virulence, present challenges to developing clear strategies to prevent the pandemic spread of this highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus. This review summarizes the current understanding of, and recent research on, the avian influenza H5N1 virus, including transmission, virulence, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, treatment and prevention.
