description ABSTRACT Influenza viral particles are assembled at the plasma membrane concomitantly with Rab11a-mediated endocytic transport of viral ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs). The mechanism of spatiotemporal regulation of viral budozone formation and its regulatory molecules on the endocytic vesicles remain unclear. Here, we performed a proximity-based proteomics approach for Rab11a and found that ARHGAP1, a Rho GTPase-activating protein, is transported through the Rab11a-mediated apical transport of vRNP. ARHGAP1 stabilized actin filaments in infected cells for the lateral clustering of hemagglutinin (HA) molecules, a viral surface membrane protein, to the budozone. Disruption of the HA clustering results in the production of virions with low HA content, and such virions were less resistant to protease and had enhanced antigenicity, presumably because reduced clustering of viral membrane proteins exposes hidden surfaces. Collectively, these results demonstrate that Rab11a-mediated endocytic transport of ARHGAP1 with vRNPs stimulates budozone formation to ensure the integrity of virion surface required for viral survival. IMPORTANCE The endocytic transport of the influenza viral genome triggers the clustering of viral membrane proteins at the plasma membrane to form the viral budozone. However, host factors that promote viral budozone formation in concert with viral genome transport have not been identified. Here, we found that ARHGAP1, a negative regulator of the Rho family protein, is transported with the viral genome and stabilizes actin filaments to promote budozone formation. We have shown that ARHGAP1-mediated efficient formation of viral budozone was crucial for the clustering of viral HA protein to the progeny viral particles. The clustering of HA proteins on the virions is responsible for the structural integrity of the viral particles, which promotes viral stability and viral immune evasion. This study highlights the molecular mechanism that works in concert with viral genome packaging to ensure the structural integrity of viral particles.
