Nuclear ribonucleoprotein RALY downregulates foot-and-mouth disease virus replication but antagonized by viral 3C protease

ABSTRACTThe internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element constitutes a cis-acting RNA regulatory sequence that recruits the ribosomal initiation complex in a cap-independent manner, assisted by various RNA-binding proteins and IRES trans-acting factors. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) contains a...

description ABSTRACTThe internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element constitutes a cis-acting RNA regulatory sequence that recruits the ribosomal initiation complex in a cap-independent manner, assisted by various RNA-binding proteins and IRES trans-acting factors. Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) contains a functional IRES element and takes advantage of this element to subvert host translation machinery. Our study identified a novel mechanism wherein RALY, a member of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNP) family belonging to RNA-binding proteins, binds to the domain 3 of FMDV IRES via its RNA recognition motif residue. This interaction results in the downregulation of FMDV replication by inhibiting IRES-driven translation. Furthermore, our findings reveal that the inhibitory effect exerted by RALY on FMDV replication is not attributed to the FMDV IRES-mediated assembly of translation initiation complexes but rather to the impediment of 80S ribosome complex formation after binding with 40S ribosomes. Conversely, 3Cpro of FMDV counteracts RALY-mediated inhibition by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Therefore, these results indicate that RALY, as a novel critical IRES-binding protein, inhibits FMDV replication by blocking the formation of 80S ribosome, providing a deeper understanding of how viruses recruit and manipulate host factors.IMPORTANCEThe translation of FMDV genomic RNA driven by IRES element is a crucial step for virus infections. Many host proteins are hijacked to regulate FMDV IRES-dependent translation, but the regulatory mechanism remains unknown. Here, we report for the first time that cellular RALY specifically interacts with the IRES of FMDV and negatively regulates viral replication by blocking 80S ribosome assembly on FMDV IRES. Conversely, RALY-mediated inhibition is antagonized by the viral 3C protease by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. These results would facilitate further understanding of virus-host interactions and translational control during viral infection.
