    Abstract Given the unprecedented scale of the recent Ebola and Zika viral epidemics, it is crucial to understand the biology of host factors with broad antiviral action in order to develop novel therapeutic approaches. Here, we look into one such factor: zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) inhibits a variety of RNA and DNA viruses. Alternative splicing results in two isoforms that differ at their C termini: ZAPL (long) encodes a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-like domain that is missing in ZAPS (short). Previously, it has been shown that ZAPL is more antiviral than ZAPS, while the latter is more induced by interferon (IFN). In this study, we discovered and confirmed the expression of two additional splice variants of human ZAP: ZAPXL (extralong) and ZAPM (medium). We also found two haplotypes of human ZAP. Since ZAPL and ZAPS have differential activities, we hypothesize that all four ZAP isoforms have evolved to mediate distinct antiviral and/or cellular functions. By taking a gene-knockout-and-reconstitution approach, we have characterized the antiviral, translational inhibition, and IFN activation activities of individual ZAP isoforms. Our work demonstrates that ZAPL and ZAPXL are more active against alphaviruses and hepatitis B virus (HBV) than ZAPS and ZAPM and elucidates the effects of splice variants on the action of a broad-spectrum antiviral factor.

    Abstract The discovery of sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) as the hepatitis B virus (HBV) receptor enabled researchers to create hepatoma cell lines susceptible to HBV infection. Infection in current systems, however, is inefficient and virus fails to spread. Infection efficiency is enhanced by treating cells with polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG) during infection. However, this alone does not promote virus spread. Here we show that maintaining PEG in culture medium increases the rate of infection by at least one order of magnitude, and, most importantly, promotes virus spread. To demonstrate the utility of this system, we show that two interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), ISG20 and tetherin, restrict HBV spread in NTCP-expressing hepatoma cells. Thus, this protocol can be easily applied to existing cell culture systems to study the complete HBV life cycle, including virus spread.

    Abstract Mast cells play critical roles in allergic responses. Calcium signaling controls the function of these cells, and a role for actin in regulating calcium influx into cells has been suggested. We have previously identified the actin reorganizing protein Drebrin as a target of the immunosuppressant 3,5-bistrifluoromethyl pyrazole, which inhibits calcium influx into cells. In this study, we show that Drebrin(-/-) mice exhibit reduced IgE-mediated histamine release and passive systemic anaphylaxis, and Drebrin(-/-) mast cells also exhibit defects in FcεRI-mediated degranulation. Drebrin(-/-) mast cells exhibit defects in actin cytoskeleton organization and calcium responses downstream of the FcεRI, and agents that relieve actin reorganization rescue mast cell FcεRI-induced degranulation. Our results indicate that Drebrin regulates the actin cytoskeleton and calcium responses in mast cells, thus regulating mast cell function in vivo.
