    Abstract Innate antiviral factors are essential for effective defense against viral pathogens. However, the identity of major restriction mechanisms remains elusive. Current approaches to discover antiviral factors usually focus on the initial steps of viral replication and are limited to a single round of infection. Here, we engineered libraries of >1500 replication-competent HIV-1 constructs each expressing a single gRNAs to target >500 cellular genes for virus-driven discovery of antiviral factors.

    Abstract We present a protocol for analyzing the impact of SARS-CoV-2 proteins in interferon signaling using luciferase reporter assays. Here, the induction of defined promoters can be quantitatively assessed with high sensitivity and broad linear range. The results are similar to those obtained using qPCR to measure endogenous mRNA induction. The assay requires stringent normalization and confirmation of the results in more physiological settings. The protocol is adaptable for other viruses and other innate immune stimuli. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Hayn et al. (2021).

    Abstract Type I interferons (IFN-I) are key innate immune effectors predominantly produced by activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). By modulating immune responses at their foundation, IFNs can widely reshape immunity to control infectious diseases and malignancies. Nevertheless, their biological activities can also be detrimental to surrounding healthy cells, as prolonged IFN-I signaling is associated with excessive inflammation and immune dysfunction. The interaction of the human pDC receptor immunoglobulin-like transcript 7 (ILT7) with its IFN-I-regulated ligand, bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 (BST2) plays a key role in controlling the IFN-I amounts produced by pDCs in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation. However, the structural determinants and molecular features of BST2 that govern ILT7 engagement and activation are largely undefined. Using two functional assays to measure BST2-stimulated ILT7 activation as well as biophysical studies, here we identified two structurally-distinct regions of the BST2 ectodomain that play divergent roles during ILT7 activation. We found that although the coiled-coil region contains a newly defined ILT7-binding surface, the N-terminal region appears to suppress ILT7 activation. We further show that a stable BST2 homodimer binds to ILT7, but post-binding events associated with the unique BST2 coiled-coil plasticity are required to trigger receptor signaling. Hence, BST2 with an unstable or a rigid coiled-coil fails to activate ILT7, whereas substitutions in its N-terminal region enhance activation. Importantly, the biological relevance of these newly defined domains of BST2 is underscored by the identification of substitutions having opposing potentials to activate ILT7 in pathological malignant conditions.

    Abstract Host restriction factors play key roles in innate antiviral defense, but it remains poorly understood which of them restricts HIV-1 in vivo. Here, we used single-cell transcriptomic analysis to identify host factors associated with HIV-1 control during acute infection by correlating host gene expression with viral RNA abundance within individual cells. Wide sequencing of cells from one participant with the highest plasma viral load revealed that intracellular viral RNA transcription correlates inversely with expression of the gene
