    Abstract Orthopoxviruses (OPXVs) belong to a group of nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses. Human pathogenic OPXVs (hpOPXVs) include at least five viruses, among which smallpox virus and monkeypox virus are the most dangerous viral pathogens. Both viruses are classified as category-one human infectious pathogens in China. Although smallpox was globally eradicated in the 1980 s, it is still a top biosecurity threat owing to the possibility of either being leaked to the outside world from a laboratory or being weaponized by terrorists. Beginning in early May 2022, a sudden outbreak of monkeypox was concurrently reported in more than 100 disparate geographical areas, representing a public health emergency of international concern, as declared by the World Health Organization (WHO). In this review, we present the reasons for hpOPXVs such as monkeypox virus presenting a potential threat to public health. We then systematically review the historical and recent development of vaccines and drugs against smallpox and monkeypox. In the final section, we highlight the importance of viromics studies as an integral part of a forward defense strategy to eliminate the potential threat to public health from emerging or re-emerging hpOPXVs and their variants.

    Abstract Transformation-associated recombination (TAR) has been widely used to assemble large DNA constructs. One of the significant obstacles hindering assembly efficiency is the presence of error-prone DNA repair pathways in yeast, which results in vector backbone recircularization or illegitimate recombination products. To increase TAR assembly efficiency, we prepared a dual-selective TAR vector, pGFCS, by adding a P

    Abstract Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), a major tick-borne viral pathogen of humans, is known to cause neurological diseases such as meningitis, encephalitis, and meningoencephalitis. However, the life cycle and pathogenesis of TBEV are not well understood. Here, we show that the knockdown or knockout of ADAM15 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 15), a host protein involved in neuroblastoma diseases, leads to TBEV replication and assembly defects. We characterized the disintegrin domain in ADAM15 and found that the ADAM15 subcellular localization was changed following TBEV infection. RNA interference (RNAi) screen analysis confirmed ADAM's nonredundant functions and identified a specific role for ADAM15 in TBEV infection. An RNA-sequencing analysis was also conducted to understand the causal link between TBEV infection and the cellular endomembrane network, namely, the generation of replication organelles promoting viral genome replication and virus production. Our data demonstrated that TBEV infection changes ADAM15 cellular localization, which contributes to membrane reorganization and viral replication.

    Abstract Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is the causative agent of a potentially fatal neurological infection in humans. Investigating virus-host interaction is important for understanding the pathogenesis of TBEV and developing effective antiviral drugs against this virus. Here, we report that mammalian ste20-like kinase 3 (MST3) is involved in the regulation of TBEV infection. The knockdown or knockout of MST3, but not other mammalian ste20-like kinase family members, inhibited TBEV replication. The knockdown of MST3 also significantly reduced TBEV replication in mouse primary astrocytes. Life cycle analysis indicated that MST3 remarkably impaired virion assembly efficiency and specific infectivity by respectively 59% and 95% in MST3-knockout cells. We further found that MST3 interacts with the viral proteins NS2A and prM; and MST3 enhances the interaction of NS2A-NS4A. Thus, MST3-NS2A complex plays a major role in recruiting prM-E heterodimers and NS4A and mediates the virion assembly. Additionally, we found that MST3 was biotinylated and combined with other proteins (e.g., ATG5, Sec24A, and SNX4) that are associated with the cellular membrane required for TBEV infection. Overall, our study revealed a novel function for MST3 in TBEV infection and identified as a novel host factor supporting TBEV assembly.

    Abstract Despite the extensive use of effective vaccines and antiviral drugs, chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection continues to pose a serious threat to global public health. Therapies with novel mechanisms of action against HBV are being explored for achieving a functional cure. In this study, five murine models of HBV replication were used to investigate the inhibitory effect of RNA binding motif protein 24 (RBM24) on HBV replication. The findings revealed that RBM24 serves as a host restriction factor and suppresses HBV replication in vivo. The transient overexpression of RBM24 in hydrodynamics-based mouse models of HBV replication driven by the CMV or HBV promoters suppressed HBV replication. Additionally, the ectopic expression of RBM24 decreased viral accumulation and the levels of HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in an rcccDNA mouse model. The liver-directed transduction of adeno-associated viruses (AAV)-RBM24 mediated the stable hepatic expression of RBM24 in pAAV-HBV1.2 and HBV/tg mouse models, and markedly reduced the levels of HBV cccDNA and other viral indicators. Altogether, these findings revealed that RBM24 inhibits the replication of HBV in vivo, and RBM24 may be a potential therapeutic target for combating HBV infections.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. How SARS-CoV-2 regulates cellular responses to escape clearance by host cells is unknown. Autophagy is an intracellular lysosomal degradation pathway for the clearance of various cargoes, including viruses. Here, we systematically screened 28 viral proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and identified that ORF3a strongly inhibited autophagic flux by blocking the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. ORF3a colocalized with lysosomes and interacted with VPS39, a component of the homotypic fusion and protein sorting (HOPS) complex. The ORF3a-VPS39 interaction prohibited the binding of HOPS with RAB7, which prevented the assembly of fusion machinery, leading to the accumulation of unfused autophagosomes. These results indicated the potential mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 escapes degradation; that is, the virus interferes with autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Furthermore, our findings will facilitate strategies targeting autophagy for conferring potential protection against the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
