The plant endomembrane system is an elaborate collection of membrane-bound compartments that perform distinct tasks in plant growth and development, and in responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Most plant viruses are positive-strand RNA viruses that remodel the host endomembrane system to establish intricate replication compartments. Their fundamental role is to create optimal conditions for viral replication, and to protect replication complexes and the cell-to-cell movement machinery from host defenses. In addition to the intracellular antiviral defense, represented mainly by RNA interference and effector-triggered immunity, recent findings indicate that plant antiviral immunity also includes membrane-localized receptor-like kinases that detect viral molecular patterns and trigger immune responses, which are similar to those observed for bacterial and fungal pathogens. Another recently identified part of plant antiviral defenses is executed by selective autophagy that mediates a specific degradation of viral proteins, resulting in an infection arrest. In a perpetual tug-of-war, certain host autophagy components may be exploited by viral proteins to support or protect an effective viral replication. In this review, we present recent advances in the understanding of the molecular interplay between viral components and plant endomembrane-associated pathways. The conrganelle . Regardirganelle .

The siRNAs associate with ARGONAUTE proteins, catalytic components of the silencing complexes, which mediate methylation of viral DNAs, silencing of viral RNAs, or an inhibition of the viral RNA translation . The cruIn this review, we summarize some of the important discoveries in the field of molecular plant virology related to plant endomembrane system. In the first section, we present examples of a misappropriation of various endomembrane compartments and their resident proteins by distinct viral genera to create viral replication organelles and an involvement of these novel membrane entities in the cell-to-cell viral movement. In the second part, we focus on membrane-localized receptors of viral molecular patterns, their putative localizations, and the identity of molecules they likely recognize. Finally, the third section introduces a dual role of plant selective autophagy during viral infections. Specific degradation of viral proteins often leads to an infection arrest, but plant viruses evolved mechanisms to utilize host autophagy processes to promote viral replication.2Positive-strand RNA viruses perform their life cycle in the cytoplasm of an infected host cell, where they are met by the antiviral defense systems and unfavorable conditions for genome replication. Therefore, the virus must create an intracellular environment where viral and host proteins concentrate, facilitating its replication. In eukaryotic cells, such spatial and functional isolation is guaranteed in membrane-limited compartments. Indeed, RNA viruses induce biogenesis of such membranous replication entities, which display two basic topologies. The first type of viral replication organelles (VROs) is represented by membrane invaginations, also called spherules, while the second type is formed by membrane protrusions to generate tubules or vesicles .

Expression of the CMV movement protein in Arabidopsis and N. benthamiana suppresses reactive oxygen species (ROS) production triggered by multiple pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), including bacterial flagellin and EF-Tu, and fungal-derived chitin  induces the activation of a host mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, which represents a characteristic PTI readout.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of the host endomembrane system misappropriation by positive-strand RNA viruses provides invaluable insights into processes of viral replication, assembly, and intercellular movement. Recent reports on the participation of membrane-localized receptor-like kinases in detection of viral nucleic acids indicate that the classical pattern-triggered immunity, crucial for detection of bacterial and fungal pathogens, comprises an important part of antiviral defenses in plant cells. The emerging knowledge of plant selective autophagy indicates its dual role in plant–virus interactions. Selective autophagy targets viral components for degradation to restrict viral accumulation, while being manipulated by viral proteins to promote viral infection. The detailed comprehension of molecular mechanisms discussed partly in this review will likely lead to the development of potential biotechnology strategies to enhance and engineer crop resistance to viral infections.IJ, NF and JZ wrote sections of the manuscript and prepared the figures.

Cobalamin is a vitamin that all cells of humans and animals, as well as bacteria, need to survive. If the intestine of dogs is diseased, serum cobalamin levels can decrease in some of these dogs. There are no studies in dogs using modern techniques to compare the gut bacteria in dogs with chronic gut inflammation with or without low serum cobalamin levels. Therefore, we compared the gut bacteria in 47 dogs with chronic gut inflammation. Twenty-nine of them had a low serum cobalamin level, while 18 did not. We found that those dogs with a decreased serum cobalamin level had severe alterations in the composition of their intestinal bacteria, while those with a normal serum cobalamin level did not. Oral or injectable supplements did not correct the changes in intestinal bacteria, suggesting that low serum cobalamin levels are an indicator of changes in intestinal bacteria rather than their cause.p = 0.001, R = 0.257) and to healthy controls . Abundances of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria were significantly increased (q = 0.010 and 0.049), while those of Bacteroidetes and Fusobacteria were significantly decreased (q = 0.002 and 0.014) in CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency when compared to healthy controls. Overall microbiome composition in follow-up samples remained significantly different after 3 months in both dogs receiving parenteral  or oral cobalamin supplementation . Because cobalamin supplementation, in combination with appropriate therapy, failed to restore the microbiome composition in the dogs in our study, cobalamin is unlikely to be the cause of those microbiome changes but rather an indicator of differences in underlying pathophysiology that do not influence clinical severity but result in a significant aggravation of dysbiosis.Cobalamin deficiency is a common sequela of chronic enteropathies (CE) in dogs. Studies comparing the intestinal microbiome of CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency to those that are normocobalaminemic are lacking. Therefore, our aim was to describe the fecal microbiome in a prospective, comparative study evaluating 29 dogs with CE and cobalamin deficiency, 18 dogs with CE and normocobalaminemia, and 10 healthy control dogs. Dogs with cobalamin deficiency were also analyzed after oral or parenteral cobalamin supplementation. Overall microbiome composition (beta diversity) at baseline was significantly different in CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency when compared to those with normocobalaminemia ( Cobalamin deficiency is a prevalent sequela in dogs with chronic enteropathies (CE) ,2,3,4. OMammalian cells require cobalamin as a cofactor for two enzymatic processes, but bacteria need cobalamin for over a dozen enzymatic processes ,7. A stuIn a recent systematic review of the link between cobalamin and the gastrointestinal microbiome in people, results from in vitro studies suggested that cobalamin supplementation increases alpha diversity and affects beta diversity . ResultsThe effects of oral versus parenteral cobalamin supplementation on the microbiome were not compared in any of the studies reviewed above . TheoretSmall intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), diagnosed with a culture of duodenal juice, was associated with cobalamin deficiency and increased serum folate concentrations in one study in dogs . The comIntestinal dysbiosis is a common sequel to CE in dogs ,30. HoweTherefore, the primary objective of this study was to characterize and compare the intestinal microbiome in CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency to those that are normocobalaminemic. The secondary objectives were to describe the effects of cobalamin supplementation on the microbiota and compare the effects of oral versus parenteral cobalamin supplementation on the intestinal microbiome in CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency.Three groups of dogs were included and classified based on clinical signs and laboratory exams: dogs with CE and low serum cobalamin concentrations, dogs with CE that were normocobalaminemic, and healthy controls. Dogs within both CE groups  had to have clinical signs of chronic gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhea, weight loss, vomiting, and hyporexia, for a minimum of three weeks. Exclusion criteria for all groups of dogs were antibiotic treatment within 3 months prior to collection of fecal samples, being fed a raw food diet, concurrent exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, or being under treatment with a proton pump inhibitor.The group of dogs with CE and low serum cobalamin concentrations included dogs with low normal serum cobalamin concentration  and dogs with hypocobalaminemia . All of these dogs were also evaluated for evidence of intracellular cobalamin deficiency  concentrations at baseline or MMA concentrations within reference interval at baseline that decreased significantly after one to three months of cobalamin supplementation) . A reducDogs with CE that were included in the normocobalaminemic group had serum cobalamin concentrations at or above the 33rd percentile of the lowest end of the reference interval  between March 2014 and October 2019 after informed owner consent. The study was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee in Uppsala . All fecal samples were freely passed. All CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency were participating in a block-randomized study of oral versus parenteral cobalamin supplementation ,35. FromFecal samples were refrigerated within 2 h of collection, frozen at −20 °C within 1–2 days, and stored at the laboratory at ESAHHS. Every 6–12 months, the frozen samples were sent on dry ice from ESAHHS to the Gastrointestinal Laboratory at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, using express delivery, and the conditions of the samples at arrival were reported.With the exception of antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors, concurrent medication was allowed based on the treating clinician’s assessment. Dietary and medical history were collected at the time of inclusion. Intestinal parasites were excluded, and ultrasonography was performed to exclude extra-intestinal causes of clinical signs. Clinical data and work-up from dogs with cobalamin deficiency have been previously published . IntestiAll serum samples were refrigerated within 2 h of collection and frozen at −20 °C for a minimum of 24 h prior to transport. Samples for cobalamin analysis were sent to the Laboratory Department at Evidensia Specialist Animal Hospital, Strömsholm, Sweden, with cold packs using priority delivery.

Beta diversity was evaluated by a weighted UniFrac distance matrix and visualized using PCoA  plots.p-value < 0.05.Prism 6.0 (GraphPad Software) was used for comparative data analyses of serum cobalamin, MMA, and CIBDAI. Normality testing was performed with the D’Agostino and Pearson omnibus normality test. Since the groups were not normally distributed, the Mann–Whitney test was used for all comparisons except serum MMA concentrations before and after cobalamin supplementation, in which the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test was used. Statistical significance was set as a Multivariate analysis was performed on the weighted UniFrac distance matrixes using the ANOSIM  test within PRIMER 7 software  to analyze differences in microbial communities. Univariate analysis of bacterial taxa and alpha diversity was performed on Prism v.9.0 (GraphPad Software).

A q-valFifty-seven dogs were included, of which 29 dogs had CE and cobalamin deficiency, 18 dogs had CE and were normocobalaminemic, and 10 dogs were healthy control dogs. Baseline data is available in p < 0.001) and the healthy control group (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in serum cobalamin concentrations between the healthy control group and the CE group with normocobalaminemia (p = 0.56).Serum cobalamin concentrations  were <111–210 pmol/L (median 183) in the cobalamin deficient group, 350–>738 pmol/L (median 492) in the CE group with normocobalaminemia, and 350–658 pmol/L (median 475) in the healthy control group. The cobalamin concentration was significantly lower in the cobalamin-deficient group compared to the group of CE dogs with normocobalaminemia (p = 0.012). After cobalamin supplementation, the serum MMA concentration decreased significantly to 450–1221 nmol/L . At this time point, there was no longer any significant difference in serum MMA concentrations between the healthy control group and the previously cobalamin-deficient group (p = 0.17). All the dogs with cobalamin deficiency either had supranormal MMA at inclusion or a significant reduction of serum MMA concentrations after 1–3 months of cobalamin supplementation.Serum methylmalonic acid (MMA) concentrations were available from dogs with cobalamin deficiency and the healthy control group. Serum MMA concentrations  were 566–2468 nmol/L (median 934) in the cobalamin deficient group at baseline, which was significantly higher than the serum MMA concentrations of 470–972 nmol/L (median 746) in the healthy control group . The CIBDAI range was 1–14 (median 7) in the cobalamin-deficient group at baseline and 5–11 (median 7) in the normocobalaminemic group. The CIBDAI range in the healthy control group was 1–2 (median 1), which is considered clinically insignificant [p < 0.0001 for both groups, There was no significant difference in CIBDAI between CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency and those normocobalaminemic at inclusion (nificant . This wap = 0.273) or at 3 months (p = 0.580). CIBDAI scores decreased significantly in both groups at 3 months compared with baseline .Dogs with cobalamin deficiency were randomized to receive supplementation by either oral (PO) or parenteral (PE) route. No difference was observed between groups at baseline , euthanasia due to poor response to medical treatment (2/9), the dog owner forgetting to bring a fecal sample (2/9), or the dogs starting treatment with antibiotics (2/9) or proton-pump inhibitor (1/9) prior to follow-up.p = 0.013 and 0.043, respectively) but not in CE dogs with normocobalaminemia compared to healthy controls  and evenness (Shannon Index) was reduced in dogs with CE and cobalamin deficiency  and to healthy controls , as shown in p = 0.976, R = −0.118).Overall microbiome composition  at baseline was significantly different in CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency when compared to those with normocobalaminemia , Sutterella , Helicobacter  and Turicibacter  but not in dogs receiving PO supplementation compared to healthy controls . Bacterial richness (Chao1) and evenness (Shannon Index) were reduced in dogs receiving PE supplementation at baseline , as shown in p = 0.013) and PO supplementation , as shown in Overall microbiome composition  at baseline was significantly different for both supplementation groups compared to healthy controls, although the difference was more pronounced with the PE supplementation group , and Turicibacter  or parenteral  route and were reanalyzed after 3 months of supplementation. Three months of follow-up samples were available for 15/18 dogs in the PO group and 5/11 dogs in the PE group. Clinical scores did not differ between dogs with cobalamin deficiency or normocobalaminemia at baseline.Cobalamin deficiency was associated with changes in microbiota composition which included decreased richness and changes in beta diversity compared to both healthy controls and CE dogs with normocobalaminemia. Interestingly, no differences in richness or beta diversity were observed between CE dogs with normocobalaminemia and healthy controls. Because previous studies in CE did not separate patients by cobalamin levels, it is difficult to compare our results with those studies. However, our findings in the CE group with cobalamin deficiency match previous findings in canine CE, including decreased richness and evenness ,46 and cSimilarly, findings at the phylum level for the CE group with cobalamin deficiency match previous studies with dogs with CE, with increased Firmicutes and Actinobacteria and decreased Bacteroidetes and Fusobacteria . Similarp-value was adjusted for multiple comparisons (q = 0.133). Clostridiaceae is a large family that includes both pathogens, such as Clostridium perfringens, and beneficial bacteria, such as Clostridium hiranonis, making it difficult to establish the significance of this finding. However, increased Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio observed in dogs with CE and cobalamin deficiency is a common finding in dysbiosis across species and has been described in GI- [In our study, increases in Firmicutes were driven mostly by unidentified species within the family Clostridiaceae , which was, however, no longer significant once the d in GI- ,48 and nd in GI- ,50 disead in GI- .Bacteroides spp. and Prevotella spp., that are SCFA-producers. Genus Bacteroides was significantly decreased at baseline in dogs with CE and cobalamin deficiency. When randomized for inclusion in one of the supplementation groups, phylum Bacteroidetes was significantly decreased in both groups compared to healthy controls at baseline, but the decrease in genus Bacteroides only reached significance in the PE group . Interestingly, despite the lack of improvement in median values at the 3-month follow-up, neither at the phylum nor the genus level significance could be found. While oral supplementation with cobalamin has been described to decrease Bacteroides abundance in mice [The production of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) is known to be depleted in dogs with CE . Bactero in mice , we did  in mice  and was Fusobacteria is another major phylum in the fecal microbiome of healthy dogs , whose aE. coli), and their increase is a hallmark of dysbiosis which has been associated with a number of diseases. In contrast, in our study, we found a significant decrease in Proteobacteria in CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency at baseline compared to healthy controls, driven by a depletion of β-Proteobacteria from genus Sutterella, in agreement with a previous study on immune-suppressant-responsive enteropathy [Proteobacteria, and in particular γ-Proteobacteria, are typically increased in dogs with CE . Gamma-Peropathy . A signiOur study has limitations that need to be considered. Due to the clinical nature of the study, we enrolled dogs prospectively based on their serum cobalamin levels and did not exclude animals based on their response to treatment. Therefore, our cohort includes animals that were ultimately classified as food-responsive, immune-suppressant-responsive, antibiotic-responsive, and non-responsive, including one case of protein-losing enteropathy. While no study has been able to identify differences in microbiome composition in those subtypes, it is possible that minor differences could be confounding factors in the study.Another limitation was that, despite our best efforts of randomization, there were small differences at baseline between the two groups receiving cobalamin supplementation (PO vs. PE). This limitation, combined with the lower number of animals at the 3-months follow-up, has limited our statistical power to compare the response of the microbiome to different routes of supplementation. Despite that, we could demonstrate that cobalamin supplementation for 3 months resulted in minimal changes in microbiome composition in terms of alpha diversity, beta diversity, and taxonomy, regardless of administration route. It is possible that supplementation over a longer period of time may be required to modify microbiome composition, in line with findings of a previous study in which dogs with CE treated with steroids only improved microbiome composition in a long-term (1-year) follow-up .Lastly, serum MMA concentrations were not available for CE dogs with normocobalaminemia. Even though there was no significant difference in serum cobalamin concentrations between the healthy group and CE dogs with normocobalaminemia, approximately 10% of dogs with serum cobalamin concentrations in the same range had supranormal serum MMA concentrations in one study . ConsequIn conclusion, despite a significant difference in microbiome composition between CE dogs with cobalamin deficiency or normocobalaminemia, cobalamin is unlikely to be the culprit of those differences. Cobalamin supplementation, in combination with appropriate therapy, failed to restore the microbiome composition in our study regardless of the administration route. Serum cobalamin is likely an indicator of differences in underlying pathophysiology that do not influence clinical severity but result in a significant aggravation of dysbiosis. These findings prompt the need for further investigation into the role of the microbiome in cobalamin deficiency associated with CE in dogs.


We conducted a cross-infection experiment involving three plant developmental stages and assessed the progression of disease and symptoms. We found a significative interaction between the host developmental stage where the virus evolved and the host developmental stage in which the virus was tested. The analysis of the resulting interaction matrices revealed significant nestedness for viruses evolved from thenaïvestrain, but not for those originating from the preadapted one. Furthermore, there was an absence of modularity across all matrices. Our findings suggest that the past adaptation history of the ancestral strain influences its future evolution, and each plant developmental stage imposes unique selective constraints. The study highlights the complexity of host-parasite interactions and the potential influence of the host's developmental stage on viral adaptation.This study examines the specificity of adaptation of lineages of turnip mosaic virus that were experimentally evolved from An interesting question in evolutionary genetics of host-pathogen interactions is to which extent a given host or in our case, developmental stage, determines the specificity or the pathogens’ adaptation. A standard approach to study this question is to test a number of host developmental stages and virus lineages in a cross-infection experiment. In this study we performed such a cross-infection experiment involving the nine viral lineages evolved from each of the two strains. These lineages were inoculated inA. thalianaplants at three significant developmental stages: vegetative growth (prebolting), phase transition between vegetative and reproductive stages (bolting) and reproductive growth (postbolting). We then measured the disease progression  and symptoms progression  to generate the respective matrixes (In our previous studyatrixes . AUDPS i) the evolutionary history of the evolved TuMV lineages , (ii) the plant developmental stage  in which the viral lineages were evolved, and (iii) the influence of the host developmental stage at which viruses were tested. All single factors were significant (P< 0.001), with the magnitude of effect being large for the developmental stage wherein the lineages evolved (η² = 0.226) and the ancestral isolate from which the lineages were evolved (η² = 0.292). The effect was very large for the host stage in which the viral lineages were tested (η² = 0.713). Notably, there was a significative interaction with large effect between the host developmental stage where the viral lineages evolved and the host developmental stage in which they were tested . Apost hocanalysis revealed that this interaction was primarily driven by viruses evolved on the bolting stage and were inoculated into prebolting plants. Infection by these viruses on prebolting plants were more severe than those by viruses evolved during prebolting (P= 0.001) or postbolting (P= 0.035) stages. In other host stages, significant differences were only observed in bolting hosts inoculated with viruses that had evolved during the bolting stage; these viruses had more severe infection phenotypes compared to viruses evolved in the postbolting stage (P = 0.018)  .naïvestrain, we observed significant nestedness in both disease progression (P= 0.01) and symptoms progression (P= 0.01). In contrast, viruses derived from the preadapted strain showed no nestedness in either of the two disease-related phenotypes (P≥ 0.05 in both cases). Additionally, our modularity analysis revealed an absence of this structural feature across all four matrices.As a second approach to analyze the structure of infection matrix and gather knowledge about the nature of the interaction, we used tools from networks theory. Nestedness and modularity are crucial parameters in deciphering the host-parasite interaction matrices, as they inform about the genetic mechanisms underlying the interaction between both partnersnaïvestrain, a gene-for-gene interaction mechanism with the host age shall be favored. However, this highly specific mechanism appears to be overridden when the initial strain is already adapted to a particular host age. This indicates that the ancestral strain's preliminary adaptation level can impact its interactions with the host and drive its future evolution. The lack of modularity suggests each developmental stage imposes unique selective constraints, seemingly independent of the virus' past evolutionary history. Modularity seems to be a rare occurrence in quantitative plant-parasite interactionsA. thalianadevelopmental stages.These findings imply that when viruses evolve from aPlants and growth conditionsA. thalianaCol-0 were grown in a climatic chamber under a photoperiod of 16 h light  at 24 ºC and 8 h dark at 20 ºC, 40% relative humidity, in a mixture of 50% DSM WNR1 R73454 substrate , 25% grade 3 vermiculite and 25% 3 - 6 mm perlite. Pest management was performed by the introduction ofStratiolaelaps scimitusandSteinernema feltiae.Plants were inoculated at three growth stages: juvenile engaged in vegetative growth , in the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth , and mature developing reproductive structures . These stages correspond with the corresponding growth stages defined by Boyes et al.

Inoculations were done using homogenized virus-infected tissue preserved at −80 °C. The virus inoculum consisted of 100 mg of homogeneous N2-frozen infected tissue mixed with 1 mL of phosphate buffer and 10% Carborundum (100 mg/mL). Plants were inoculated by rubbing 5 µL of the inoculum into three random leaves of the plant. Ten plants per developmental stage were inoculated for each virus.We used the evolved strains of TuMV generated in Melero et al.

Plants infection symptomatology was visually evaluated following a discrete scale of symptoms severity from absence of symptoms (0) to full necrosis of the plant (5) . The infectivity and severity of symptoms data along time were used to calculate the area under the disease progress stairs (AUDPS) and intensity progression stairs (AUSIPS) values, respectively, as described in Butković et al.

Therefore, interaction between CSFV E2 and host ACADM is not critically involved in the processes of virus replication and disease production.The E2 glycoprotein is one of the four structural proteins of the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) particle. E2 has been shown to be involved in many virus functions, including adsorption to host cells, virus virulence and interaction with several host proteins. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we have previously shown that the CSFV E2 specifically interacts with swine host protein medium-chain-specific acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ACADM), an enzyme that catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Here, we show that interaction between ACADM and E2 also happens in swine cells infected with CSFV using two different procedures: coimmunoprecipitation and a proximity ligation assay (PLA). In addition, the amino acid residues in E2 critically mediating the interaction with ACADM, M49 and P130 were identified via a reverse yeast two-hybrid screen using an expression library composed of randomly mutated versions of E2. A recombinant CSFV, E2ΔACADMv, harboring substitutions at residues M49I and P130Q in E2, was developed via reverse genomics from the highly virulent Brescia isolate. E2ΔACADMv was shown to have the same kinetics growth in swine primary macrophages and SK6 cell cultures as the parental Brescia strain. Similarly, E2ΔACADMv demonstrated a similar level of virulence when inoculated to domestic pigs as the parental Brescia. Animals intranasally inoculated with 10 CSFV is a small, enveloped positive-stranded RNA virus with a genome of approximately 12.5 kb.

Immunodetection of ACADM was performed using a polyclonal anti-ACADM reagent . The monoclonal antibody WH303 [Interaction between host ACADM and CSFV E2 detected via coimmunoprecipitation using the Pierce Co-immunoprecipitation Kit  as recommended by the manufacturer. Mock and infected cell extracts were washed with ice-cold PBS and then lysed using the Pierce lysis buffer with protease inhibitors . The anti-E2 WH303  monoclondy WH303  was usedThe interaction between host ACADM and CSFV E2 was also assessed using the Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) . The PLA6. Individual colonies were screened as previously reported [Plasmids harboring the E2 gene fused to the Gal4-binding domain (E2-BD) and the ACADM gene fused to the Gal4 activation domain (ACADM-AD) were synthesized . The plasmids used in this study were as follows. The T-antigen protein fused to the Gal4 activation domain (PGADT7). Human Lamin C (Lam-BD), a common negative control in the yeast two-hybrid system, fused to the Gal4-binding domain. Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase fused to the Gal4 activation domain (HPRT1-AD) as a positive control in terms of interacting with CSFV E2, as previously described ,25. E2-Breported , where preported .An infectious clone (IC) harboring the complete genome of the virulent CSFV Brescia isolate (pBIC)  was used2. Expression of the E2 protein was detected via immunoperoxidase staining using E2-specific monoclonal antibody WH303, as described above. Recombinant virus E2ΔACADM was then harvested, and stocks were kept at −70 °C until use.The IC containing the E2ΔACADM construct was transfected into SK6 cells in 6-well plates and incubated for 4 days at 37 °C and 5% CO5 TCID50. Animals were observed daily until the end of the experiment to detect the appearance of clinical signs associated with the disease  and body temperature. Blood samples were obtained from the anterior vena cava in EDTA-containing Vacutainer tubes at the post-challenge time point, as described in the corresponding figures. Hematological cell profiles were obtained using a Beckman Coulter ACT . Experiments were performed under biosafety level 3 conditions in the animal facilities at Plum Island Animal Disease Center, following protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee .The assessment of the virulent phenotype of the recombinant E2ΔACADM virus was performed using 30–40 lbs commercial breed swine. Recombinant E2ΔACADM or the parental BIC virus (BICv) was inoculated intranasally (IN) at a dose of 10The interaction between CSFV E2 and ACADM was previously described using the yeast two-hybrid system ; therefoTo further confirm the results obtained using the yeast two-hybrid screen and PLA, we performed coimmunoprecipitation (CoIP) studies between ACADM and E2 in extracts of SK6 cells infected with CSFV. The CoIP experiments were performed using antibodies specific for ACADM and E2. SK6 cells were infected with the CSFV strain BICv at an MOI of 10. Samples were then harvested after 24 h and CoIP was performed as described in the Materials and Methods section. Cell lysates from both the mock-infected and infected cell cultures were harvested, immunoprecipitated with the anti-E2 monoclonal antibody WH303 and then subjected to Western blotting with an ACADM-specific antibody. A single band showing a molecular mass of approximately 45 kDa  of ACADM was clearly identified . These rThe use of recombinant viruses containing amino acid substitutions to disrupt the interactions between a virus protein and its host cell ligand is valuable to examine the potential role of specific E2-host ligand interactions in a number of virus functions ,24,25,2950, and samples were collected daily until 72 h post-infection (hpi). BICv displayed a slightly more efficient replication in SK6 cells, reaching virus yields that were almost ten times higher than those of E2ΔACADMv. Conversely, when the grow ability of BICv and E2ΔACADMv were compared in primary macrophage cultures, similar growth kinetics were observed for both viruses. Therefore, introduction of mutations in E2 that disrupt its interaction with host ACADM in the yeast two-hybrid system appears to slightly affect virus replication in SK6 cells but not in primary cultures of swine macrophages. Regardless of the statistical differences observed at some of the time points at which SK6 cells were tested, the results do not appear to support differences in biological significance in terms of virus yield between the mutant and the parental virus.Based on the information obtained from the reverse yeast two-hybrid methodology, a recombinant CSFV harboring a mutated version of E2, which possesses residue substitutions at positions M49I and P130Q, was developed (E2ΔACADMv) via reverse genetics. The growth characteristics of the mutant virus E2ΔACADMv were compared with those of parental BICv (the pBIC-derived virus) in a multiple-step growth curve using both SK6 and primary swine macrophage cultures . Cell cu5 TCID50 of either E2ΔACADMv or the parental BICv, and the appearance of clinical signs associated with CSF was monitored on a daily basis. All the animals infected with the virulent BICv had disease onset around day 5 pi with a quick evolution of the disease, showing an increase in body temperature to over 40 °C, with all animals being euthanized by days 6–7 pi  infected with 10s 6–7 pi .The animals infected with E2ΔACADMv also showed a lethal form of the disease, showing the appearance of the clinical signs of the disease slightly earlier than animals inoculated with the parental virus. Onset of the disease was detected between days 3 and 4 pi, after which the disease evolved to severe forms, and all animals were euthanized on days 5–7 pi. Therefore, amino acid substitutions introduced in the glycoprotein E2 of E2ΔACADMv did not alter its virulence in domestic pigs.Hematological values changed over the evolution of the clinical disease. White blood cell and platelet counts had drastically dropped by day 4 pi in animals inoculated with either of the viruses, with no significant changes seen until death .2.8- to 103.8 TCID50/mL up to day 4 pi. Viremia values increased from 105.8 to 106.55 TCID50/mL until the day they were euthanized. The animals inoculated with E2ΔACADMv presented higher viremia titers up to day 4 pi, ranging from 104.8 to 105.8 TCID50/mL, and remained at those levels until being euthanized due to the severity of the clinical signs. Therefore, E2ΔACADMv does not present a significantly different virulent phenotype from that of the parental virulent BICv.The capacity of recombinant E2ΔACADMv to replicate during the experimental infection in pigs was evaluated by comparing the viremia titers to those detected in the animals inoculated with BICv . AnimalsThe role of the interaction between virus and host proteins in critical processes such as virus replication and production of disease in domestic pigs infected with CSFV is still not well understood. Although the number of studies on the identification and characterization of those interaction has increased in last years, the importance of those interactions regarding the molecular pathways utilized by the virus for replication and/or to manipulate the host immune response for the virus’s own survival is not clear. In prior studies, we reported the specific interaction of several host proteins with CSFV proteins. For instance, we identified and characterized the interaction of the structural CSFV core protein with host proteins SUMO1, IQGAP1, UBC9 and OS9 ,12,13. IHere, we reported the identification and characterization of the interaction between the CSFV E2 protein and host protein ACADM, an enzyme that catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway.The results reported here are the first indication that the cellular protein ACADM is involved in CSFV during cellular infection and interacts with viral protein E2. Results demonstrate that mutations introduced in the structural protein E2 do not provoke a significant change in the CSFV phenotype in terms of affecting virus replication in vitro or virus virulence in vivo. It should be mentioned that amino acid mutations leading to disruption of the E2-ACADM interaction in the yeast two-hybrid system may not necessarily produce the same effect during E2ΔACADMv infection, and further experiments should be performed in order to confirm this. Gaining knowledge on the role of specific amino acid residues of CSFV proteins in important processes such as virus replication or virulence is necessary to develop potential novel methods to block or decrease virus infection in the natural host. A better understanding of the host factors interacting with virus proteins at the amino acid level is a significant step towards a better understanding of the impact of potential mutations that occur between different virus strains that continue to emerge from CSFV, often exhibiting different degrees of viral virulence and pathogenesis for unknown reasons. However, as we explore the roles of individual residues in the CSFV genome, in the future it may be possible to predict the pathogenesis and characteristics of emerging strains of CSFV before the occurrence of outbreaks.


Orthobunyavirus, family Peribunyaviridae, was first isolated from a snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) in Montana, United States, in 1959. The virus, closely related to LaCrosse virus (LACV) and Chatanga virus (CHATV), occurs across Canada and the northern latitudes of the United States, primarily in the northern tier of states bordering Canada. Reports of SSHV in northern Europe and Asia are probably the closely related to CHATV, or the less closely related Tahyna virus. Vertebrate associations include snowshoe hares and ground squirrels, demonstrated by field isolation of virus from wild-caught animals, seroconversion of snowshoe hares, seroconversion of sentinel rabbits, isolation of virus from sentinel rabbits, and experimental infections demonstrating viremia. Isolations of virus from field populations of mosquitoes include primarily univoltine and boreal mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, Culiseta impatiens and Culiseta inornata; and, rarely, certain multivoltine floodwater Aedes species. Experimental transmission studies in mosquitoes show infection in and transmission by boreal Aedes and Culiseta inornata. Isolation of SSHV from larval Aedes on three occasions, and experimentation in Culiseta inornata, reveal transovarial transmission of the virus in mosquitoes. Serosurveys reveal exposure to SSHV in human and domestic animals, with rates of seropositivity commonly high in some settings in Alaska and Canada, but disease in humans or horses has rarely been reported, only in Canada.Snowshoe hare virus (SSHV), within the California serogroup of the genus  Lepus americanus Erxleben), heavily parasitized with Dermacentor andersoni Stiles ticks, in the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana in 1959 by Willy Burgdorfer and colleagues  from Aedes trivittatus in 1948 in North Dakota, and San Angelo virus from Anopheles punctipennis (Say) in 1958 in Texas (Aedes scapularis (Rondani) in Trinidad, Tahyna virus from Aedes caspius  in Czechoslovakia in 1958, and Lumbo virus from Aedes pembaensis Theobald in Mozambique in 1959 (Aedes aegypti [L.]) to suckling mice (Oryctolagus cuniculus [L.]) in Richmond, Ontario, in the summers of 1962–1963, the first isolation of any California serogroup virus in Canada and the second time SSHV was isolated from vertebrates in nature, but inadvertently reported by Dicrostonyx groenlandicus [Traill])  and from brain of northern red-backed vole, Clethrionomys rutilis . The latter event was a mixed infection of SSHV and Northway virus (a Bunyamwera virus). SSHV was not isolated from sentinel rabbits in Alaska (Snowshoe hare virus (SSHV) was first isolated from the blood of an emaciated snowshoe hare  , and 1 isolate was obtained from 188 pools of 4,763 Culiseta impatiens  . The latter isolate was obtained from a pool of three blood-fed individuals aspirated from a trap baited with a domestic goat. Subsequently in 1965, SSHV was isolated from mosquitoes in four different locations  group and one pool of Aedes stimulans  group mosquitoes, near Rochester, Alberta, Canada  in Massachusetts in 1968 ; and once from a pool of Simulium spp. (Diptera: Simuliidae), all in east-central Alaska in 1970–1971  removed from mammalian hosts were attributed to acquisition of virus from infected hosts; infections waned within 48 hours, leading to the conclusion that ticks do not become infected and are not vectors  and mosquitoes, and the quite widespread geographic distribution of the virus. It is important to note that SSHV as an entity distinct from CEV was recognized gradually as other viruses such as LaCrosse (LAC) virus were discovered and as immunological reagents and procedures became available. Aedes trivittatus Coquillett; Aedes triseriatus around a focus on human disease there. There is no record of isolation of SSHV from Manitoba, a province that borders on the provinces of Ontario and Saskatchewan and the Nunavut Territory, from where SSHV has been isolated from both mosquitoes and mammals  in western Siberia documented high seropositivity rates to SSHV ; however, only a single putative isolate of SSHV was obtained in the same study from a single Aedes euedes Howard, Dyar, and Knab mosquito. This isolation, which occurred at a different location than where the mammals were sampled and also resulted in isolation of a Bunyamwera group virus, prompted the investigators to note: “it is uncertain whether the test we used is specific for antibody to SSH …. It is clear from the results, however, that SSH virus or a closely related virus is present in the area”   of the Aedes communis group including the Aedes punctor subgroup; and the “stripe-legged” species such as Aedes stimulans and related species in a species complex sometimes called the Aedes stimulans group, as well as Aedes canadensis which does not belong to this group of species. However, isolations outside of these groups include Aedes cinereus  . Isolaticinereus . Second,ribution . That Tumpatiens , the facAedes vexans in Wisconsin  were varied (see °C), and transmission of virus to uninfected mice by bite, after which the suckling mice became infected. These findings support criteria #1, #3, and #4 for SSHV in relationship to Culiseta inornata and Aedes communis. Additionally, they suggest that SSHV could persist in overwintering populations of Culiseta inornata females. Aedes provocans  and Aedes abserratus-punctor with SSHV via membrane feeding, and after holding the mosquitoes at 19 °C for > 12 days demonstrated transmission of virus to suckling mice by mosquito bite of 4/20 Aedes provocans and 2/20 Aedes abserratus-punctor. Aedes triseriatus by bite-to-suckling mice. Aedes triseriatus; they attributed this variation to reduced viral dissemination from the midgut in the presence of LAC viral reassortants containing the SSHV middle-sized segment of the SSHV genome.Addressing criterion #4 and criterion #1, ried see . MosquitAedes mosquito larvae at endemic sites and indeed used an isolate in some of their adult mosquito infection experiments. SSHV was also isolated from adult Aedes implicatus Vockeroth raised from larvae collected in Saskatchewan province of Canada , and as a maintenance species with efficient transovarial transmission of SSHV to progeny, while univoltine Aedes spp. such as Aedes communis could serve as vectors and overwintering reservoirs via transovarial and transstadial transmission. Transovarial transmission was not studied in the above experiments, but f Canada  and fromf Canada , suggestCallospermophilus lateralis Merriam, yellow pine chipmunk Tamius amenous Allen, or meadow vole Microtus pennsylvanicus Ord (Citellus undulatus) was the main natural reservoir host in the summer of 1974” . Nonetheless, mosquitoes associated with transmission of other CAL serogroup viruses such as CEV, KEYV, and TVTV have regularly been demonstrated via blood meal analysis to feed upon wild rabbits  and California serogroup viruses by considering Aedes phylogeny and species groupings and the history of isolation of various viruses from different species of mosquitoes. Aedes communis group including the Aedes punctor subgroup, the Aedes stimulans group, and the Aedes canadensis group. He further noted that these associations were similar to those of Jamestown Canyon virus. Of interest is that these two viruses are rarely found in the same pools of mosquitoes, but there are examples of co-occurrence of JCv and SSHV in sympatric mosquito populations , and 9 of the 227 (4%) red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus Erxleben) were positive. In Nova Scotia, 6%–14% of snowshoe hares had antibodies to SSHV, with variations among sampling sites  in Nova Scotia (0docoileus hemionus hemionus), black-tailed deer (O. hemionus columbianus), and Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) in Oregon (Rangifer tarandus [L.]), Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus [L.]), red fox (Vulpes vulpes [L.]), and polar bear (Ursus maritimus Phipps), and attributed rising seroprevalence from 1986 to 2017 to increasing temperatures in the arctic regions of Canada where the samples were acquired. Forty of 100 (40%) snowshoe hare sera were positive for antibodies to SSHV in studies conducted from 2009 to 2012 in the northern Greater Yellowstone area of Wyoming, USA. Of the six animals that were captured twice with at least one year between captures, four had developed antibodies to SSHV at the second capture , indicating active transmission of the virus . Sera collected at 8 and 28 days after onset of clinical symptoms were tested in parallel using plaque reduction neutralization (PRNT). The titer of SSHV-specific neutralizing antibody by PRNT was 4-fold greater than that of JCV; SSHV was identified as the etiological agent involved with this case.Despite the close relationship of SSHV to LACV, and the significance of the latter as a causative agent of human infection and neurologic disease, there have been very few cases of illness in humans with documented infection with SSHV, and none reported from the United States. A total of 10 human cases of meningoencephalitis likely due to infection with SSHV were reported between 1978 and 1981 in Quebec, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, Canada . Meier-SBased upon the above findings and widespread seropositivity to both SSHV and JC virus  in the Canadian human population and in the population of human diagnostic samples associated with meningoencephalitis , Mincer

The mechanism of action of lamivudine is based on its ability to inhibit HBV reverse transcriptase, which is a critical enzyme for viral replication. Once inside the infected cell, lamivudine is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes into its active triphosphate form. This active form of lamivudine competes with the natural nucleotide building blocks for incorporation into the growing viral DNA chain. However, lamivudine lacks the 3′-OH group required for further chain extension, thereby resulting in the termination of viral DNA synthesis .Entecavir  is a gua28.Key synthetic steps for 2CO3 cat., MeOH; (c) m-CPBA, CH2Cl2; (d) Ac2O, NEt3, DMAP cat., CH2Cl2; (e) Cp2TiCl2 20 mol%, IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 10 mol%, Mn (2 equiv.), collidine, TMSCl, H2 (4 bar), THF; (f) p-O2NBzCl, NEt3, CH2Cl2; (g) 5% (+)-CSA, MeOH; (h) 2-amino-6-chloropurine, DIAD, PPh3, THF, −10 °C; (i) HCOOH, 50 °C; (j) MeONa, MeOH.Reagents and conditions: (a) TBSCI (1.1 equiv.), imidazole, THF, rt; (b) K.

The plaMechanism of Action of Entecavir: Entecavir is a nucleoside analogue that inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA replication by interfering with the activity of viral polymerase, an enzyme essential for the virus to replicate its genetic material. In HBV-infected cells, it is phosphorylated into its active form, entecavir triphosphate, which competes with the natural substrate, deoxyguanosine triphosphate, for incorporation into the elongating viral DNA chain. The incorporation of entecavir triphosphate into the viral DNA chain leads to chain termination, preventing further extension of the viral DNA and ultimately inhibiting HBV replication. Entecavir’s mechanism of action has been extensively studied and has been shown to be highly effective in suppressing HBV replication and reducing liver damage.

We have highlighted the role of representative small molecules, from natural products to synthetic compounds with heterocyclic subunits, and demonstrated their antiviral features. Taking into consideration of the severity of the viral infections, it is undoubtedly necessary to have a complete data set, along with the structure–activity relationship (SAR) of various drug candidates against the infectious viruses. In this regard, this review article could definitely play a crucial role in the discovery of antiviral drugs.Antiviral drugs have revolutionized the treatment and control of infections caused by viral diseases. They target specific viral mechanisms, by such means as inhibiting replication, preventing viral entry into cells and blocking the activity of the viral enzyme. These drugs have significantly improved patient outcomes and reduced the spread of contagions. They are capable enough to tackle infections like HIV, hepatitis, influenza, herpes, and more. In spite of the suitability of such drugs in terms of the proper treatment and control of viral infections, they do have limitations. Viruses can develop resistance to certain drugs, necessitating the development of new classes of drugs or combination therapies. Moreover, antiviral drugs may cause side effects and interact with other medications, a situation which requires careful management. The challenges are even greater when facing the newly emerged viruses, and the lack of specific and effective treatment options becomes apparent. The development of drugs targeting such viruses is very complicated and involves extensive research and development, advanced computational support and dedicated clinical trials. Additionally, viral mutations and the potential for drug resistance further impede the effectiveness of existing therapies against newly arrived viruses.Furthermore, emerging technologies like CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing hold the potential for targeted viral genome disruption, offering innovative approaches to combat viral infections. The ongoing research and development of antiviral drugs aim to address current limitations, including drug resistance, side effects and access issues, while providing more effective, safer and accessible treatments for viral infections in the future.
